6M Friday wouldn't be all that bad for AA. Would be surprised if it didn't dip slightly lower though.

I mean, their relationship isn't within the confines of the 7 rule

I'm interested to see It's Sat number.  That Friday will lead to a high 50 to low 60m weekend.

Just think of it as a variation of the 7 year rule - the 3 x 7 variation.

Laurie Strode!!!!! 

Saw that when I got up, god I hope that lives up to it's potential with Carpenter still on board. Would love a new take on the score.

F*cking pervert...and what is wrong with her to go out with someone so blah...

 

Does she not have DiCaprio's number? Or Mine?

There's 8 of us here at this American Assassin screening. 

 

Although it is 10am.

A. It's sold on a complete lie. If a character closing the fridge to reveal another character standing on the other side is your idea of horror then this movie might be for you.

 

B&C aren't spoilers but they may impact the viewing experience for some, and I'm not that comfortable leaving them open on this thread.

B. Trying to take the stories that inspired the movie and coating them with a 'new' aesthetic is lazy as hell at this point, I've seen these stories told through musicals, Hip-Hop, Pop, modern day settings, office settings, urban settings, etc. The idea is juvenile, everybody has probably thought about doing something similar upon introduction to the material, similar to how everyone has had the thought "what if superman was evil" at one point in their life.

 

C. The movie is super predictable as a result of using these stories. 

 

 

 

 

 

D. Nothing presented to me was new, fresh, or thought provoking. This is the laziest film I've seen this year, and the worst I've seen since Suicide Squad. 

Thank you.

What movies got a F score on CinemaScore?

 

I know Wolf Creek is one of these movies. I still don't get how Wolf Creek got such low score. 

Apparently the first three films to get an F cinemascore were Eye of The Beholder (1999), Lost Souls (2000), and Lucky Numbers (2000), since the system started (personally I don't think cinemascores are very good though, if I'm being honest).

I tried visiting that Devil Inside website once and a fake FBI warning pop-up ad appeared on my computer and I had to restart my computer.

Clearly the filmmakers were trying to send you some sort of subliminal "secret" message.

Honest question. How many are wanting Mother to fail for the sole purpose it stars Lawrence and not based on the marketing, opinion of the movie itself, etc. Either way I've never understood why anyone would want any film to crash and burn. Sure there are films I flat out hate but that doesn't mean I root against them at the BO. 

Not me. I want it to crash and burn due to marketing conning horror fans again. If it does, maybe Hollywood will stop cutting deceptive trailers and selling a movie as something it's not. The final "Experience" trailer is a dick move by Paramount especially placing it in front of IT last weekend.
 

I think Jennifer Lawrence is great. She'll walk out of this with her reputation perfectly intact. It's the film that's going to suffer.

I usually never want a movie to fail but if the marketing is this misleading....then it's fair game.

On another note. 17 years later.....and glad that some things never change. As someone who loves movie scores, these songs always have such strong operatic instrumentals that allow them to stand out from everyone else.

Perfect to release this around Halloween. Amy Lee's voice is still incredible too.
