Ethan's had some truly terrible takes last few days (even by his standards) so I'm not sure I really trust his opinion on movies.

do you want to discuss the brilliance of LEGO Movie (2014) with me, because I'm always down to discuss that

 

Amen!!  I loved that movie...and I had to watch it twice b/c I had to walk out an overexcited one for 20 minutes of the movie the 1st time, including the ending!:)  Good thing there is video!

I'd probably stop short of calling it more impressive than TFA's multi, because I mean c'mon...that opened to 250m. Yes I know it was December not summer, and not as frontloaded of a genre as a CBM, but still...250m and a 3.8 multi. I'd easily rank it the second most impressive multi of the decade though. 

 

Never said it was more impressive, just that it had a better multiplier than the most hyped up holiday movie, which is insane

 

I mean, look at my avatar 

[MovieMan89]

Also can we just stop and think for a moment about the fact that a DC-freakin-EU film is the one defying all the CBM multi cap rules? What dimension are we in?

Are you just now realizing that?

 

To be fair, at least he's gotten out of the phase where his top 5 all time were like Transformers, Rise of the Planet of the Apes (all while disturbingly calling Caesar his baby monkey), and High School Musical or something like that.

"Good" would be a strong word for it but I enjoyed it.  Most of the GA hated it.  71% of critics thought it was at least okay. Weird stats for that one 

[Blankments]

on one hand, next week we've got a new Edgar Wright movie that just might break out

 

on the other, we've got an illumination film guaranteed to break out

 

might be an insane thread next week

It's going to be hell for us. There will definitely be "Illumination is good because the kids like it!!" arguments.

The Lego Movie is my favorite animated film for personal reasons. Me and my dad before the divorce and far move away (My mom and I moved to Wisconsin) bonded a lot over Lego and it has a special place in my heart. When I visited him in New York when I was 8-12 (he moved back to Barbados in 2015), I'd bring my new Legos and he'd held on to my older Legos I had as a kid. Not to mention it's a fantastic movie. I want the Lego Cinematic Universe to continue for quality and memories, which is why after August I'm doing an epic stan for Ninjago.

I was talking about when you were relatively new here.  I was complimenting that you've made progress (despite still saying stupid shit quite a bit).

You taking Tele Jr to this (and Spider-Man, Apes, and Emoji)?

[MovieMan89]

This is absolutely going to be a feast or famine summer. GOTG 2, WW, DM3, and Homecoming all 350+, and everything else sub 200 with exception of maybe Dunkirk or Apes sneaking past that.
