Saw Fahrenheit. It's pretty powerful but it preaches to the choir, and Moore always leans more into opinion and conjecture versus investigation. It makes for a more entertaining documentary, if not very informative. 

 

Judging by the box office I take it most liberals have moved past his schtick I guess. 

I don't think it's so much that liberals have moved on from Moore as it is that the political commentary landscape has shifted so drastically since he hit the height of his popularity in 2004. YouTube blew the doors off in terms of the abundance and availability of instantly relevant political content, so anything Moore (or anyone else for that matter) could put together in a documentary would be old news by the time the film reaches theaters. 

 

Moreover, this felt like a very different film from his other works. A huge part of Fahrenheit 9/11's mainstream appeal was its snarky streak, whereas this film feels downright funereal in some stretches. It's a far tougher sit than anything else he's made.

Finally he was right, a people saying that do come a lot.....

Can't decided if I liked A Simple Favor or not. The leads are great, but it's never quite as funny nor viscous as it should/could be. Still, nice to see Feig shooting non-improv for the first time in god knows how long.

[baumer]

I saw a simple favor today and it's definitely one of my favorite movies of the year. Terrific performances by all three leads pretty funny script some good twists and turns and just an overall really good time.

 

Anna Kendrick should be nominated for an Oscar. She's simply awesome in this.

[Nova]

Watched A Simple Favor again tonight and tbh I actually liked it more the second time around. Which is weird because I thought maybe if I knew what was going to happen it would ruin it but I think knowing how it all ended, allowed me to appreciate some other things that happen in the film. Also watching it with a huge crowd helped with the experience though because my crowd was eating it up. 

 

Also Blake Lively in suits is still >>>>>>>>>

Meg is one of those cases where I have to admit I was wrong. I heard one thing from someone working on the movie that he thought it would be horrible and bomb. And I guess his opinion on the film is subjective... he thought it would be bad, and many people do agree that it was not good. But for all this time I had been saying it would bomb because of how bad it would be... 

 

We're all wrong sometimes I guess. Except for Asgard of course

Why is the audience score for House so low on RT? Is it getting trolled?

 

*edit* Yes it is. By people are calling it demonic and satanic and no Christian should see it. What a crock of shit.

I had an Angry Mom on my Facebook make a LOOOOOOOOOONG post about how it was SCARY for the kids and not to take them.

House with Clock in the Walls could still go around +50% today to 10-11 million, especially if WOM is really good outside of RT ratings, etc.

I wonder if there is a HD stream of House/Clock on the net.

Meg really seems to have caught on with families judging by the jumps on weekends.

Meg was a toned down kiddie version of Deep Blue Sea. Surprised it’s doing so well. Guess the novelty really helped

I saw the movie today and if they consider that to be "too scary" for kids, I can't imagine how they would've reacted to family films from 20-30+ years ago.

The kids in front of me were totally cool.  There was a kid in back saying "this is scary" during some of the Third Act.
