I'm actually pretty excited for Fifty Shades Freed.

 

Not legitimately, of course. I just figure that if the previous film was so much fun to watch as a "you must see it to believe it" trainwreck, a film that has no apparent place left to go with wholly uninterested stars must be an epically hilarious disaster ripe for ripping.

Those movies are "porn" for housewives whose husbands don't touch them anymore but are too prudish to watch real porn.

 

Or they are movies that real women like because, you know, women like sex just like men do.

Also BP getting his own movie for the first time is inherently more special than another Avengers sequel.

Um, Thanos is the Avengers' Joker.

I don't see how what I said is exclusive with that, tbh. Unless you think undersexed housewives are not real women.

50 Shades of Grey is fun for the whole family.

The Avengers don't have a joker. As far as the GA is concerned The Avengers didn't exist until 6 years ago

[Webslinger]

Thanos won't matter much to general audiences. What will matter, on the other hand, is the fact that virtually every single living character from the MCU will be in Infinity War

[Kraken]

There's a reason the trailer ends the way it ends (not sure if a spoiler). That's the huge hook. Not ersatz Darkseid.

Well, Maze Runner finally fully showing its "YA strength in in my town". Gonna do 12-13M Saturday rather than the 9-10 I thought after matinees

It's not... Sure, you get men who rag on 50 Shades because it's geared to women but plenty of women also think 50 Shades isn't particularly sexy, believe there is much better erotica around and are baffled that the Twilight fanfic is the one to take off. Good for the fans who like it, I guess, but a property having a fanbase doesn't make it immune from criticism.

I’m going to build you a F A B U L O U S house.

Fifty Shades Free is kind of a like an end of an era. It's not YA obviously but it existed because of Twilight so there's that connection

 

Anyway, I think is a solid performance for Maze Runner 3 given the long gap from the 2nd movie and the generall lost of appeal of YA movies

[DAJK]

3 Billboards was fucking fantastic

[DeeCee]

The general audience won’t be there for Thanos. They’ll be there for The Avengers and GOTG all in the one movie. 

[aabattery]

The GA will be there for Stallone, reprising his role from GOTG2. 

 

The GA are also going to be in for a nasty surprise. Legs gonna be trash for IW.

[DeeCee]

After the extensive reshoots inserting Korg into IW the legs will be amazing. 

 

I hear there’ll also be a big pamphlet promotional campaign.

Maybe it’s the other way around. Maybe they don’t touch their husbands anymore because their husbands aren’t as hot as Jamie Dornan.

I would give it all my money if that actually happened

[ddddeeee]

There's more genuine filmmaking in the first Fifty Shades than half of the movies ya'll harp on about.
