bk03 Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Funny guy!You're missing the point. The gulf between the people who have seen TE2 and Perks is HUGE. That alone shows me that TE2 will live longer. Just because a movie outgrosses another one by a couple of million, doesn'tYou are missing the point 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctis Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Don't you fucking insult Honey Boo Boo. I love her. The entire family doesn't have a single mean-bone in their bodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Toymaker Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Less than 1m people worldwide have seen Perks. Over 37m people worldwide have seen The Expendables 2. How anyone can say that Perks will be more popular is crazy. People aren't going to suddenly stop seeing TE2 and suddenly start renting and buying Perks in their millions. Therefore TE2 will be more loved and stay in the public conciousness for longer. It's rare sense to even see that logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noctis Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Algren hates on Perks for two major reasons:1. It stars Emma Watson. She's from Harry Potter and as long as I'm here, he'll hate on it and everyone associated with it.2. It has gay characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Marston Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Then why does it have over 2M likes on facebookThe movie sold about 4m tickets in theaters do every single person who watched it probably liked it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bk03 Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Stallone is a senile old man who takes steroids so he can pretend he's 30 years old. He's a cartoon character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Toymaker Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 I don't see why so much conversation time is being given to a film that nobody is seeing. That film being Perks. Better to talk about Paranormal Activity 4 or Argo, at least people are enjoying those movies in their droves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 (edited) This whole thing has a lot of shades of grey. On one hand just because it makes lots of money, on the other hand many films critics and Internet people love won't be ever be heard of by probably anyone either (movies like Dredd, Perks, and Scott Pilgrim fit that mold) Edited October 20, 2012 by John Marston 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ezen Baklattan Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Algren, I could come up with a page full of counter examples if I wanted to, but we would still be at a stalemate.None of us know for certain how much Perks and Expendables will be loved by future audiences. However, I'm ultimately concluding that Perks, like so many other films, will gain more popularity in the long run. The Expendables 2 may have been fun popcorn entertainment, but I can't imagine that people will still be worshiping it.The fact that we're even having this conversation right now shows us how dedicated we are to this wonderful film.

Perks already has a passionate fan base and it'll grow on dvd. No one saw Clerk,Dazed and Confused or Spinal Tap when they first came out, either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That porno is still remembered 40 years on. Think Perks will still be remembered in 2050? Fat chance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
