Weekend Thread | Venom with -55.5% drop - 35.7m | A Star is Born -34.7% - 28m | First Man disappointing with 16.5m | Goosebumps 2 16.225m | Bad Times for Bad Times At The El Royale with 7.225m

First Man's trailers were fine but there was nothing special. Goosebumps 2 never manged to gain a lot of buzz. I liked the first one but felt the sequel only looked okay.

I hate The Predator so much. Such a bad movie. Otoh, it made me watch the original again and reminded me why i love it.

Hum seem like potential to make a good apparition on that list:

55.97m or under to make the top 40 seem safe to achieve it.

The flag's in the movie. In fact, there are probably about 4 or 5 different shots of the flag. Moron trolls are only upset because it doesn't painstakingly show the flag being planted on the moon because Chazelle decided a character arc was more important than a flag.

The "character arc" argument is one I might not agree with but I would have seen the film and seen for myself how it was handled.

 

But when Gosling said this wasn't an American achievement is when I decided to wait until it comes on TV.

I was gonna see The Predator regardless of reviews but then I accidentally got spoiled on a few major things and then I was like

 

[Lestranger]

Chazelle had a near perfect movie on his hands in La La Land and then nose dived the ending. So I have questioned his judgement ever since. First Man looks both great but boring AF. How do you make one of the most exciting stories in all of human history look so stolid and dour. Fast losing my faith in him.

It is funny movie watching, Ending was the best part and one of the best ever for me.

Haven't seen First Man but the endings are like... the best part of Chazelle's stuff.

American exceptionalism doesn't exist and never did. We are a deeply racist and sexiest Country that believes that ignorance is a virtue and unfettered capitalism is a good thing. We elect and defend an ignorant racist reality TV star sitting in the oval office. We succeed solely because we are the biggest bullies on the playground. Depriving yourself of a movie because of some fantasy about how amazing America is is hilarious.

Agreed. Whiplash ended with a bang! and La La Land with a bittersweet feeling. Both were memorable.

You'll love the First Man ending. It's not GOAT like Land or Lash, but it's really quite beautiful.

that depends on whether you count Heroes Reborn as a new show or just the fifth season of Heroes.
