fishstick Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Remember ScarJo from Home Alone 3 and 8 Legged Freaks, can't believe how big she's become.Big rack, yeah.I don`t think she`s big at all. She`s just attractive to media because she`s busty and she lucked out with Marvel but other than that she`s a boxoffice non-factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forg Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Can we all say Anne Hathaway is a box-office draw now? Why else is Les Mis doing better than expected?I love Anne Hathaway and while I think the hype for her performance is a factor, I don't think she's the main draw of the film. It's a popular material and well the marketing has been really good 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She doesn't give a damn about being a box office draw. She's an auteur's muse. See Coppola's Lost In Translation or Woody Allen's last string of movies like Vicky Christina Barcelona.

ecstasy Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 As much as I love to give Anne Hathaway the credit for Les Mis I can't do it. Les Mis was insanely popular before the movie. A lot of Les Mis fans would watch it regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dark Alfred Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 The fact that she's singing the most loved song of Les Mis incredibly well and they market their small role as a lead means that she is the draw. Not only her obviously, but she adds a lot to help the film being a huge hit. Winning tons of awards won't hurt either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruthie Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 No. It`s about time TH starts dropping heavily and losing theaters. FOTR is much better movie so I don`t want TH to pass unadjusted FOTR. I really don`t get repeat business for TH. It`s an OK movie but there`s nothing in it to watch over and over again. I asked fanboys to enlighten me what make them watch over and over and still haven`t gotten a well-explained answer that is void of generic "because it`s awesome". I`d really like to know cause this baffles me. I'm not a Tolkien loony, so I can't speak for the fanboys, but I have seen TH 4 times. I consider it a fine movie, filled with the things that make movie-going a great experience for me; the visuals are stunning, the acting is superb, the pace is such that it demands different levels of engagement from the audience without providing an unpleasant whiplash effect, and the amount of detail built in makes it interesting to watch repeatedly. Plus, for the most part, it's good, clean fun. I'll be seeing it again this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you can claim it all you want i suppose, but you can't expect to be taken seriously. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dashrendar44 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 You got to be a Loonie to inflict yourself the overlong Dwarvesfest dinner that seems to drag on forever 4 times (?!) without feeling bored. Non-fans would rather take a nap waiting for the action bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonytr87 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 My question is, why did the Neeson-starring Les Miz bomb so badly in the 90's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a masterpiece like the original trilogy, but I'd give it a solid B+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dashrendar44 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 My question is, why did the Neeson-starring Les Miz bomb so badly in the 90's?Because Anne Hathaway didn't star and sing in it. That's pretty obvious!(And no extreme close ups too!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Founder / Operator Shawn Robbins Posted January 3, 2013 Founder / Operator Share Posted January 3, 2013 Quick heads-up: the forums will go temporarily offline between 10pm and 12am Eastern tonight for scheduled maintenance. We're fine tuning the new server set up a couple of days ago. If all goes according to plan, we won't be down longer than that and there will be a more informative message on the screen when we take them offline.

Dori or Gloin?I had to look up on Wikipedia) and some said Avengers Introduction was flimsy and boring...

dashrendar44 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) Everybody knew each members of the fellowship of the rings...I'm not even a LOTR fan and I still remember each one. What's the point of introducing so much characters if their names (to distinguish them from each other since they're all dwarves) don't even matter?
