I would've probably attached tomb raider to justice league. Not Ready Player One. THE ACCURACY IS GONE.

But see it don't work like that

 

How the fuck would I have attached Pitch Perfect 3 to Justice League? But that's what actually happened!!

I got the Pitch Perfect 3 trailer before my showing as well. It definitely stood out as an odd choice among the rest of the trailers, but I can see why Universal did it (it's both a big franchise sequel and their next release).

I kind of do the same where I predict what the trailers would be for each movie that I see, and I just...predict what movies would be attached from each studio now.  Don't need to use the trailer drives to help me, just pure guesswork.  You could also always update it after seeing the movie and finding out the trailers that each studio decided to run with.

So what? Should I continue this document without trailers? This is so fucking silly. I loved the trailer lists. They were a part of my weekly existence. And now they're just gone. Fuck everything.

 

7 minutes ago, Blankments said:

About 375k words, 73,431 words, 300 pages, and over 3 years WASTED, because of Digital Cinema By Deluxe randomly deciding to be dicks. Fuck you.

every week i updated my fantasy theater based off box office, programmed my own trailers for it, and basically just fucking ran a movie theater

 

i could still do all of it, but the trailer insanity is what made it fun and time consuming in a productive sense.

 

hollywood is dead

 

Of all the potential meltdowns this weekend, I didn't expect this particular one.

The second is like legit good. It has some bad parts in it (the "love story" uaargh), but the third act, altough too long, is mesmerizing. Third one SUCKS though.

The second one is a bloated meandering monstrosity that still manages to undercut and under serve Bilbo's cleverness and heroics and all the political machinations and competing interests and greed while wedging in more orcs, freaking Legolas the savior, a truly terrible romance and some fucking horrible new characters while ignoring an interesting character from the book.   Smaug's good though.

[Blankments]

Look at this

 

Do you see Rampage and Ready Player One attached?? NO.

I...predicted those two would be attached and I was right

 

Also @WrathOfHan got Tomb Raider at JL according to his crowd report so you're not completely off.

Of all the potential meltdowns this weekend, I didn't expect this particular one.

This letter may be a bit overwhelming for those people who are still soundly asleep in a world of make-believe and television and who don't want to hear how Digital Cinema By Deluxe's promise to change its ways has long since been proven insincere. It is worth noting at the outset that it is time to hold Digital Cinema By Deluxe responsible for the hatred it so furtively expresses. That's clear. But I have no set opinion as to whether or not Digital Cinema By Deluxe uses a litany of euphemisms, buzz words, and doublespeak to help it increase subservience to its monolithic engine of presenteeism. I do, however, honestly profess that Digital Cinema By Deluxe once wrote a document whose sole purpose was to argue that the entire concept of happiness is a lie designed by unseen overlords of endless deceptive power. This document was an endless sequence of intentional distortions, cynical manipulations of language, and outright lies. It served no purpose other to get people thinking about how the cast-off ideas of debunked philosophy on which Digital Cinema By Deluxe has based most of its ribald Ponzi schemes do tell us one thing. They tell us that Digital Cinema By Deluxe has been peddling all sorts of half-baked and discredited theories. For example, it insists that it's inappropriate to teach children right from wrong. As if that weren't bad enough, no man who values himself, who has any regard for sound morality, or who feels any desire to see intellectual progress made certain, can rightfully join Digital Cinema By Deluxe's treasonous attempt to jawbone aimlessly.

 

To simplify, Digital Cinema By Deluxe's disciples are merely ciphers. Digital Cinema By Deluxe is the one who decides whether or not to impact public policy for years to come. Digital Cinema By Deluxe is the one who gives out the orders to violate all the rules of decorum. And Digital Cinema By Deluxe is the one trying to conceal how it isn't interested in debates or open forums. It just wants to shut up dissenters. That's why if Digital Cinema By Deluxe can't stand the heat, it should get out of the kitchen. Digital Cinema By Deluxe's idolators portray themselves as fervent believers in freedom of speech and expression but are loath to reveal that Digital Cinema By Deluxe deceptively claims that it's listening to our suggestions. The reality, however, is that it's thumbing the scales towards its own annoying tractates even though it knows that I decidedly hope that if we all examine its worldview from the perspective of its axiology (values) and epistemology (ways of knowing), this will bring us together in a national dialogue of learning instead of reducing us to recriminations and accusations. At a minimum, I expect it to help a large number of people see that Digital Cinema By Deluxe has been trying to convince us that it is God's representative on Earth. That argument fails to take into account the reality that Digital Cinema By Deluxe's doctrines would be less wanton if they were less negligent. Do I blame society for this? No, I blame Digital Cinema By Deluxe.

 

He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. Of course, people like Digital Cinema By Deluxe who do in fact perpetrate evil relabel millions of people as “hotheaded”. It may be unfashionable to say so and it may surprise a few of you out there, but those who have most injured and oppressed humanity, that have most deeply sinned against it, are, according to Digital Cinema By Deluxe's standards and conscience, good people. Apparently, bad people are those who have noticed that Digital Cinema By Deluxe's older imprecations were rash enough. Its latest ones are sincerely beyond the pale. Digital Cinema By Deluxe has a diseased mind and a soul so black that it would obscure even the darkness of Hell. Now that's a strong conclusion to draw just from the evidence I've presented in this letter so let me corroborate it by saying that Digital Cinema By Deluxe is convinced that people everywhere have a deeply held love of clericalism. I contend that if it held a rally in support of clericalism, no more than two people would show up—one if you exclude the local street vendor who just happens to be peddling his wares in the vicinity. The reason, obviously, is that Digital Cinema By Deluxe keeps trying to ruin people's lives. And if we don't remain eternally vigilant, it will definitely succeed. No one that I speak with or correspond with is happy about this situation. Of course, I don't speak or correspond with treacherous sectarians, Digital Cinema By Deluxe's compadres, or anyone else who fails to realize that Digital Cinema By Deluxe ignores a breathtaking number of facts, most notably:

 

Fact: As a time-honored expression maintains, “Digital Cinema By Deluxe's promises are as worthless as a degree from Digital Cinema By Deluxe University”.

 

Fact: There is a genuine coldness, a chill, that pervades the land, as people are scared to death by Digital Cinema By Deluxe's swinish, cynical slurs.

 

Fact: Digital Cinema By Deluxe can out-reason iscariotic clinchpoops but not anyone else.

 

In addition, the biggest supporters of Digital Cinema By Deluxe's tendentious convictions are mealymouthed knuckle-draggers and dyed-in-the-wool, contemptuous malingerers. A secondary class of ardent supporters consists of ladies of elastic virtue and cosmopolitan tendencies to whom such things afford a decent excuse for displaying their fascinations at their open windows.

 

I intend to look closely at Digital Cinema By Deluxe's casus belli to see what makes them so effectual at identifying political and religious groups that are Digital Cinema By Deluxe's political enemies and re-labeling them as “condescending pinheads” in order to justify operations against them. I should expect to find—this is a guess that I currently lack sufficient knowledge to verify—that responsibility is an alien concept to Digital Cinema By Deluxe. Still, this is all light opera amid the shrill insanity of its heinous wisecracks. No value, no belief, and no personal need or desire can be placed higher than the aspiration to appeal for comity between us and Digital Cinema By Deluxe. That's the current situation, and if you have any doubt about the reality of it, then you haven't been paying close enough attention to what's been happening in the world. If Digital Cinema By Deluxe's put-downs were intended as a joke, Digital Cinema By Deluxe forgot to include the punchline.

 

I sometimes see well-meaning people swallow Digital Cinema By Deluxe's lie that cannibalism, wife-swapping, and the murder of infants and the elderly are acceptable behavior. To my mind, shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. That's why I wish that all decent people realized that Digital Cinema By Deluxe's commentaries are entirely meaningless. That is, they usually begin by saying something about how this is Digital Cinema By Deluxe's world and we're all just living in it, and then they continue on with a random assortment of tacked-on phrases until they finally slam into a period. Digital Cinema By Deluxe's commentaries would be a lot clearer if Digital Cinema By Deluxe simply came out and said that it once tried to vend a deluded mixture of authoritarianism and superstition to a new generation of hoggish, besotted fustilarians. If you consider this an exception to the rule then you unmistakably don't understand how Digital Cinema By Deluxe operates. I hope, however, that you at least understand that we need to change its declamations for the same reason that one needs to change a baby's diapers. As an interesting experiment, try to point this out to Digital Cinema By Deluxe. (You might want to don safety equipment first.) I think you'll find that if the past is any indication of the future, it will once again attempt to interfere with a person's work performance, bodily security, physical movement, and privacy rights.

 

Let's not mince words: Digital Cinema By Deluxe recently got caught red-handed trying to utilize unfathomable brutality against its critics. Well, surprise, surprise, surprise, as Gomer Pyle would say. No one of any intelligence believes that governments should have the right to lie to their own subjects or to other governments. I won't dwell on that except to direct your attention to the gloomy manner in which it has been trying to ignore compromise and focus solely on its personal agenda. You might say, “Digital Cinema By Deluxe's traveling carnival of credentialism will muzzle Digital Cinema By Deluxe's adversaries by next weekend.” Fine, I agree. But Digital Cinema By Deluxe spouts a lot of numbers whenever it wants to make a point. It then subjectively interprets those numbers to support its philippics while ignoring the fact that it and its conveniently bribed allies have been reaping a harvest of death. As bad as that is, it represents only the thin end of the wedge. Sooner than you think, Digital Cinema By Deluxe will likely take control of a nation and suck it dry.

 

Although I must blow my whistle on Digital Cinema By Deluxe's tactics of deception and distortion, I've run into some distressing examples of confirmation bias among Digital Cinema By Deluxe's sycophants. For instance, they proclaim that the cure for evil is more evil. Interestingly, though, they fail to notice that Digital Cinema By Deluxe accuses me of being impolite in my responses to its doctrinaire, corrupt fusillades. Let's see: It disgorges its disparaging and arrogant comments on a topic of which it is wholly ignorant, and it expects a polite reply? What is it, acrasial?

 

While Digital Cinema By Deluxe might be able to convince the canaille that its mottos are a breath of fresh air amid our modern culture's toxic cloud of chaos, I hope the readers of this letter can tell that I, speaking as someone who is not a blasphemous grizzler, frequently wish to tell Digital Cinema By Deluxe that its coterie is a snake pit populated by callous, wishy-washy litterbugs, volage-brained, uneducated nymphomaniacs, and diversivolent pipsqueaks. But being a generally genteel person, however, I always bite my tongue. The more I think about the worst types of raucous euphuists there are, the more troubled I become by Digital Cinema By Deluxe's views. Although this letter provides irrefutable proof that Digital Cinema By Deluxe teaches its vassals to despise their own country, I know that it will still accuse me of lying. I suppose that's okay as long as I can convince you, the reader, that there's one peremptory, lamebrained loafer I know (more on him later) who thinks that we should abandon the institutionalized and revered concept of democracy. Of course, that's not as bad as the possession-obsessed slummock I ran into yesterday (more on him later as well) who was totally unable to comprehend that Digital Cinema By Deluxe's plan is to champion censorship in the name of free speech, intolerance in the name of tolerance, and oppression in the name of freedom. However, unlike the Nazis, Digital Cinema By Deluxe doesn't conceal its malevolent goals. Perhaps it's confident that no one will notice that the vast majority of Digital Cinema By Deluxe's worshippers have no interest in carrying out this matter to the full extent of the law. They would rather stroke their fragile egos, regurgitate meaningless tripe, and sycophantically prostrate themselves before the idiotic dribble that underlies Digital Cinema By Deluxe's ruthless, froward writings.

 

Digital Cinema By Deluxe attributes the most distorted, bizarre, and ludicrous “meanings” to ordinary personality characteristics. For example, if you're shy, it calls you “fearful and withdrawn”. If, instead, you're the outgoing and active type, Digital Cinema By Deluxe says you're “acting out due to trauma”. Why does it say such things? Perhaps the answer is best saved for another letter. Let me simply note that Digital Cinema By Deluxe claims that we can change the truth if we don't like it the way it is. That claim is preposterous and, to use Digital Cinema By Deluxe's own language, overtly fiendish. No history can justify it.

 

Looking at it on the bright side, to believe that the government's policies should be at odds with the will of the people is to deceive ourselves. Before explaining why sniffish, coldhearted worrywarts cause insurmountable trouble for us, I must first spread awareness of the insincere nature of Digital Cinema By Deluxe's initiatives. Each year, Digital Cinema By Deluxe produces dozens of tracts extolling the virtues of antipluralism, presentism, and priggism while delivering an endless stream of literary assaults on capitalism, democracy, and Western civilization generally. Digital Cinema By Deluxe and its pro-censorship, backwards satellites must cachinnate about this in private, knowing that if it weren't for bloodthirsty yo-yos, Digital Cinema By Deluxe would have no friends. It may be obvious but should nonetheless be acknowledged that I have some advice for Digital Cinema By Deluxe. It should keep its mouth shut until it stops being such a sniveling, overweening vermin and starts being at least one of informative, agreeable, creative, or entertaining. Circumstantial evidence is always probative to show intent. The circumstantial evidence in Digital Cinema By Deluxe's case is that Digital Cinema By Deluxe demands that we make a choice. Either we let it reopen wounds that seem scarcely healed or it'll set up dissident groups and individuals for conspiracy charges and then carry out searches and seizures on flimsy pretexts. This “choice” exemplifies what is commonly known as a “false dichotomy” or “the fallacy of the excluded middle” because it denies other alternatives, such as that Digital Cinema By Deluxe asserts that because all any child needs is a big dose of television every day, we should all give up on establishing a “truth commission” whose charter is to investigate some of its more bossy ploys. The logic in that sequence escapes me. Perhaps Digital Cinema By Deluxe is in fact confirming that its detachment from, or denial of, the truth is not just a political tactic or say-anything-to-please character flaw. It reveals an elemental attitude that Digital Cinema By Deluxe shares with homophobic buffoons: spheterizing other organizations' belongings. To end on a more positive note: At the end of this journey, I want to be able to say that I tried my best to provide people the wherewithal to strengthen our roots so we can weather the storms that threaten our foundation.

I got both Ready Player One and Tomb Raider with Justice League....

 

What is amusing is that except for the trailer directly before the film, the decision of which trailer is with which movie is made not by the studio, but by the theater manager, and sometimes it goes even lower done the chain.

yes, if a person thinks Freddy Got Fingered is better than The Godfather, they might be in a very small minority, but it's still their opinion.

 

also, you thinking superhero movies are ruining the industry is pertinent to your own opinions on the genre.  if you don't like the superhero movies being put out and are getting sick of it, then yes, you are going to express your feelings that they're ruining the industry.  nothing wrong with feeling like that.

Not liking something and something destroying the industry are two completey different claims.

 

The latter is objective and verifiable.
