muscles like this! posted:The problem I had with the movie is that they took the first game's plot (Himiko's tomb) but used the second game's villains (Trinity.) And it doesn't make any sense for Trinity to be looking for Himiko's tomb. The movie is really unclear about what they expected to find. I think Lara from the game is a lot better in terms of backstory. Goes to UCL instead of Oxford or Cambridge. Has an inheritance that she can't access because her dickhead uncle is in charge of it. I personally liked the bike messenger stuff was fun to watch. I liked Premium Rush a lot, and the first 5 minutes of Quicksilver. How's that for whiplash? 5 minutes of Nelson Vails being awesome, you start to wonder why everyone hates the movie so much, then he leaves never to come back and everything else is awful.

So Tomb Raider is looking at between $21-22 mil for the weekend, down from $25-27 expected box office from the studio.

Ooh and it looks like it knocked Black Panther off the #1 spot on Friday. A Wrinkle In Time also got the #1 spot when it premiered last Friday but Black Panther still managed to be #1 for the 3 day weekend, if it manages to get #1 this weekend that'd be its fifth in a row which is really rare these days. The last three movies to be #1 for 5 or more weekends in a row were Avatar in '09, The Sixth Sense in '99 and Titanic in '97.

So Shia LaBeouf is making a movie about his life. It’s called Honey Boy. Lucas Hedges is playing Shia. Shia is playing Shia’s dad, who is a “former clown performer and recovering heroin addict.” I’m into it.

It isn't even out in Japan for about three weeks. It's on about $940 million worldwide at the moment so it probably has a pretty decent chance of getting to the billion dollar mark.

But then again I feel pretty much the same way about this entire generation of 4-quadrant blockbusters. Occasionally there's a Thor Ragnarok or The Last Jedi that breaks through and is interesting enough to me, but most are just impossibly bland to me. I think I've finally hit the age where my spending power and opinions no longer relevant to movie studio studio executives or marketers. I thought this wasn't supposed to happen until I was 35! Oh well, I'll just go watch my Prestige Genre Movies that don't earn anyone money or have much cultural relevance in peace. feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 21:09 on Mar 17, 2018 |

"The sequel to that will be, like, kinda Gone with the Wind successful, but not really." doesn't have the same ring to it. I vaguely remember Dirty Dancing being in theaters forever in Germany, maybe I should have gone with that.

The jumanji trailers looked insanely bad (Jack Black Plays a teenage girl! Kevin Hart plays Kevin Hart!) and the concept was like a checklist of poo poo that sucks - needless reboot of an old movie as a franchise starter, video game movie, explosions for no reason, again jack black is playing a teenage girl etc. But it turns out the script was actually really good and the movie was well made and Jack Black is actually good at playing a teenage girl and it's basically a less confused tropic thunder.. it's good.

It's a remake of a French movie called Trois Hommes et un Couffin which I think Michael Eisner saw when he was on a business trip in France and enjoyed so much that he bought the rights to remake it. Fun fact: that was both the top-grossing movie of 1987 and the most successful movie directed by Leonard Nimoy. Apparently there were plans to make a second sequel a few years ago called Three Men and a Bride (about Mary growing up and getting married) but it never came to pass. Isn't there also a Hong Kong remake with Jackie Chan where the baby dies and he resuscitates it using jump leads and a car battery?

You can't trick me, this isn't Bollywood because it doesn't star Shahrukh Khan! quote:It's a remake of a French movie called Trois Hommes et un Couffin which I think Michael Eisner saw when he was on a business trip in France and enjoyed so much that he bought the rights to remake it. Fun fact: that was both the top-grossing movie of 1987 and the most successful movie directed by Leonard Nimoy. The whole point of Three Men and a Baby is to throw three male stars into one family friendly movie, doing a sequel with the guys who stopped being stars decades ago would have been terrible. We need this generation's terrible vehicle for, like, Vin Diesel, The Rock and Denzel Washington. I think Washington at least still owes us one of those.

Jumanji is a lot of fun. It’s a great Sunday matinee flick. The only genuine criticism I can throw its way is that the kid that “becomes” Kevin Hart literally becomes him out of nowhere, personality wise. Before they get dumped in the game he’s a fairly straight-laced serious jock. The second he’s in Jumanji he goes full Kevin Hart as hell.
