When a thread starts to fill with long ass argument posts i usually just skip them

I've already prepared myself to argue endlessly for the horse I'm championing at next year's oscars.

Les Mis is a bigger diappointment than TH. TH couldn`t make $600 mio, Les Mis can`t make $300 mio. Les Floperables.

Boom! Sarcasm!

It's more of a medium-low budget huge hit than a blockbuster.

It's huge for its genre.

After Earth?

It is, but Blockbuster IMO means something with a big budget, big scope, big box office. Les Mis doesn't get the big budget. Edited December 28, 2012 by riczhang

Genre being close-up festo.

After Earth?

How did you guess? jkIt's Streep's latest movie. August: Osage County. Really think it'll be a big success, Weinstein, Clooney, Streep, Cumberbatch, McGregor, and sadly Roberts.

Hey, Ric, are you really a guild member or you`re full of unexpected turd? Tapley says that he`s hearing tons of industry love for LM. Now he isn`t the best predictor (as per ADF who are at odds with him) but he ahs it as the projected winner.

I don't consider budget, merely gross (especially compared to others in its genre). I wouldn't hesitate to call TRUE GRIT a blockbuster, for example.

[Jack Nevada]

So whats the budget for LM?

[Dementeleus]

$60m or so production budget, I think.

The Hobbit is Snatching Wigs

He`s so awesome and towers over the entire movie. Nothing in terms of performances comes anywhere close to him in TH. I can see why TH loonies would be so forgiving of TH which isn`t anyone (on and off camera)`s B game let alone A game except for Serkis.He should be in a tarantino flick.

I'm not a guild member myself, but my godfather is and everything I know is through introductions by him. Tapley is decent, but he's too insufferable most of the time for me to stand him. And oh my fish, getting your info from ADF? You standards are slipping. Edited December 28, 2012 by riczhang

Is your godfather a guild member or an Academy member?

[fishstick]

Come back, Cocho! I need more bashers of Hoopsie`s close-ups and Dutch Angles!

[CoolioD1]

So whats the budget for LM?

200M. It's that high because they had to keep buying new cameras because actors kept accidentally headbutting and breaking camera because it was just too close to their face.

[riczhang]

Is your godfather a guild member or an Academy member?

Both, he's the reason I'm into movies and Oscars in the first place.
