  1. Once again, selective narrative. No surprise. The world is bigger than North America. Worldwide box office take is the only figure that counts in the business.
  2. My God, I’m eating here! Great, now that can’t be unseen.
  3. Well, I can’t agree or disagree with you on that since I haven’t watched either movie yet. And even when I do, my opinion doesn’t mean squat to anyone but me. I’m not big on the review sites anyway but if I need them, I use Metacritic. The math is better there.
  4. And yet still critically better than Eternals.
  5. What was that? You say you wanna see more of her? Fine, here you go!
  6. Of course it did, after I already rented it for $20 on iTunes. I’m an impatient schmuck.
  7. Interesting how several posters here preferred the first half over the second. I struggled with the first half and enjoyed the second. The bus fight scene was the only thing that was cool in the first half. Not sure why I enjoyed Awkwafina because she had bad lines and really didn’t even need to make the trip. She could have just faded out after her Sandra Bullock moment. I just find her sort of charismatic.
  8. Ridley Scott is the latest legendary director to slam comic book movies. While I sided with Scorsese to some degree, I can’t agree with Scott saying superhero movies are f’n boring with bad scripts. I agree many of them have bad scripts straight from the cookie cutter but even some of those can be entertaining and exciting. I don’t think Scott has seen The Dark Knight. Even then he would probably just claim exception to the rule.
  9. Looks like Bond will (or has) surpassed F9 for the 2021 crown.
  10. How do they screw up the token Marvel humor in this when they had Ronnie Chieng in the cast? They shouldn’t have given him such a small role. I don’t know who the Aquafina girl is but I liked her despite her terrible lines. I also liked her in another movie she was in. Breaking News in Yuba County. She had better lines in that one.
  11. Does not get any better than Kung Fu Hustle. I can’t believe how many times I’ve watched this.
  12. I like the original outline there but I still didn’t like BvS. I loved certain scenes in BvS but not the movie as a whole. I’ve said it before, I’d give anything for Zack to make a complete Knightmare movie. Affleck in the desert with his merc army Mad Maxxing out. Wouldn’t even need a story.
  13. Ridley Scott is off his rocker. Gladiator should go down like E.T. No F’n sequel needed because it can never measure up.
  14. Are you twelve? Christ, go find a real cause to champion. Brie is doing fine in her mansion without you.
  15. I’ve never lost a friend over a differing viewpoint period. I’ve never had a discovery that a friend of mine was a closet racist or sociopath. I tend to vet people before they enter the circle.
  16. Exactly. Ghostbusters 2016 would have failed with a male cast if they kept a similar storyline. I was excited to watch it being a fan of McKinnon and Wiig and even they couldn’t save it with the dialogue they were given to work with. I don’t even think the original cast could recreate that magic we are nostalgic for. I think reinventing it with some original cast support is the way to go.
  17. Yeah, I’m sure all the misogynists in 2016 changed their minds the next year because of the me2 movement.
  18. These are not worth counterfeiting so I don’t think authenticity is an issue. These images are from current eBay listings if you want one. The prices seem high, I think I paid $200 for the set of redemption card and Gone card a few years ago.
  19. I do have the complete chase card set from that 93 run including both the mail-away redemption card and the Gone card. These images are not mine, I don’t have any pics of my cards.
  20. First half hour was bad with eye rolling moments but I stuck with it because I liked the two leads. It got better. And the finale was great. Really enjoyed it. His sister was a bit of a disappointment though as her character didn’t seem very fleshed out and I didn’t have much feeling for her. She also came off as a bit wooden. Never read the comics so this is what I have to go on and I dug it. Looking forward to more.
