This guy gave it 3.5/5. he gave Barbie 4/5. If Barbie is that good, it's gonna kill Oppenheimer

This guy looks extremely unreliable from his ratings, if not outright insane (rating Venom higher than Joker and giving Alita: Battle Angle 1/10 is definitely something), I wouldn't put any trust in his opinion about anything.

Please don't call him "McQ."  It brings back bad memories of that other "director" called "McG" who of course is like a flea flying around in McQuarrie's face in terms of talent. 

 

It's also a really bad John Wayne movie.  😁

We have not heard much of that other director called McQ for some tiem...thank heavens.

And yeah, MC Q was a bad  John Wayne film in 1973. It was pretty much a "Dirty Harry" clone (quite a few of those came out after the Eastwood movie was a gigantic hit) and it, well, just sucked.

Wait, didn't the Barbie screening happen in NJ? Does that mean the MI7 screening did too if this guy saw both? Why are studios doing test screenings in NJ now?

Yeah. These two plus the new Jennifer Lawrence movie "no hard feelings" apparently all screened in NJ

Would be nice but doubtful. There's no MPAA rating for it anywhere.

Tom Cruise being really good friends with James Corden is more bad looks than him being a Scientologist.

[Ryan Reynolds]

they are hyping it, maybe a trailer

 

 

[CaptNathanBrittles]

Not even Tom Cruise can get me to tune in to Kimmel. That really is a mission impossible!

I like Corden's show. He is a good host. I don't get the hate. He is very good at his job

Patrick Stewart called him fat at an award show and Corden insulted him back. After that the internet decided Corden was the worst person alive.

Corden is hands down the biggest dick in the industry. He is not bad as a show host, but he is pretty much awful and unfunny in everything else he's done. I think being abusive to staff and getting banned from NYC restaurant has done more harm to his image than the Stewart stuff.

I don't like how this is sandwiched between Indiana Jones and Oppenheimer. It will lose the PLF screens to Oppenheimer in its second week. ugh...can it move up a week? what do you guys think?

Not sure if it will keep Dolby screens in the 2nd week or if Barbie or Oppenheimer will get. But I am assuming they don't want to move it up since Indy will likely hurt it more than Barbie/Oppenheimer.

I imagine Nolan really prefers the current date, but shifting this back one week to where Marvels was dated seems like the best option IMHO. That puts two weeks between Indy and MI, then another two between MI and Op.

 

And this is the kind of movie that will play well even during the dog days of summer because of the target adult audience.

 

(And it still gets the movie out for Nolan's birthday weekend.)

Yes, this sounds like the best solution. I hope it happens and Nolan is not too stubborn

I also just realized this is the MI thread, not Op... so to clarify, I was talking about moving Op. 😁
