stuart360 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 That point is BS. You just said to Red no opinions yet you interjected yours. Nobody knows for certain how a movie will be liked or disliked over 20 years from now.I mean that die hard Avengers fanboys are going to still like the film in 20 years, well chances are anyway.

redfirebird2008 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Stating your opinions as facts won't make them more than opinions. Saying it hasn't stood the test of time is merely pointing out the fact that enough time hasn't gone by. You can deny it all want, but it is a fact.

YoursTruly Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Get used to it, AVATAR hate happens in a lot of unrelated threads on here.Avatar? Oh, you mean Dances with Fern Gully?I keed! I keed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druv10 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 I may be new to the forum, but I'm pretty sure this entire conversation belongs elsewhere.lol, so true. This discussion needs to be moved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfirebird2008 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 (edited) True but you didn't say it in that context did you.Yes, I did. The later part of my post was my opinion that it wouldn't be regarded as well as classics like BTTF or Indy. But the first part of my post was merely an observation of the fact it has only been 2.5 years since the movie came out. Enough time hasn't gone by to say it has stood the test of time.

druv10 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Godfather was hugely successful at the box office too and has had its fair share of backlash, not to mention parodies over the years. To me, the Wizard of Oz is a great example of a movie that stood the test of time. It flopped at the box office and then ended up being watched by more people than probably any movie in history, simply because it became a holiday tradition and parents passed it down to their kids from generation to generation. It became a beloved movie over time rather than being overpraised to begin with, which is often the case with popular movies in current times (TDK, Avengers, Avatar, you name it).True but we still won't know for sure. Trust me kids love TA right now, question is will they love it in 10 years when they are teenagers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackspider Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 100M+ 2nd weekend is locked.Didn't you just say yesterday 100m was just a dream for most of us predicting it? You sure change your tune quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And any movie that does really well at the box office will be remembered somehow; whether because of their classic status or because of how they represented the culture of the audience who saw the film.

Even trash like Transformers 2 will be remembered because it made a lot of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kvikk Lunsj Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 I don't see you calling out BKB for his numerous rants about TDKR, not to mention the personal attacks he has been known to engage in. Dexter is fucking harmless compared to him.all I sad I would rather have another film hit 100m 2nd weekend not to have beat Titanic.I am fine with Avengers do 630m.

stuart360 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Dodson, I don't need your stupid ass opinion to tell me what's a good movie and what isn't.
