I agree wholeheartedly with Taudarians MASTERPIECE.
Ive managed to stomach your intensely naive defence of Prometheus, I can sit through anything after that.
As for being a troll....do you remember that I dont care what you think?
You literally ran away screaming from IMDB because you have nary the stomach for a discussion that doesnt go your way.
Toughen up bitch......
Weak........ cry some more spanners, no-one cares
Oh spanners, after the debacle that was you trying to defend Prometheus and you had how many breakdowns as you had to take several enforced "holidays" from IMDB, I think most people will sensibly pass your posts by.
You're irrelevant, nearly 6000 posts of "meh, is that it?"
You were easily dispensed with on IMDB, nothing changes here :)
Somehow you think your hypocrisy is "hitting nerves"?
No, its just perplexing how you think people can't see your posts for what they are, you're really not as dynamic as you'd like to think.
Thats right dude, you tell them. If you keep this up, you'll stop lots and lots of people from watching it, and it'll never hit $2billion as a re.......oh.
You're late. Sucks I guess.
A shame theres no "like post" feature, you'd be in the thousands of likes by now ;)
That being the case, one wonders how you can swallow the hypocrisy of posting over 2700 messages on a forum dedicated to the "frivolous" subject of films.
Personally, I thought Solo missed those comedic elements. His character is a wisecracker and trying to be funny.
Would have thought the movie would have served the character better for him and the movie to have more humour.
Billbrown7071 seems to have gone a bit shy.
I'm not wrong that no Marvel Studios movie has failed since Iron Man. You don't seem to know your movies very well.
Fantastic Four - Fox
Fantastic Four Riser of the Silver Surfer - Fox
Fantastic Four - Fox
The Hulk - Universal
Spider-Man - Sony/Columbia
Spider-Man 2 - Sony/Columbia
Spider-Man 3 - Sony/Columbia
TASM - Sony/Columbia
TASM2 - Sony/Columbia
All were licenced FROM Marvel, none are a Marvel Studios movie.
The only flop they have had was The Incredible Hulk which wasn't just Marvel Studios.
But since their first sole movie in 2008 which was Iron Man, MARVEL STUDIOS has NOT had a flop and every single movie made a profit and is a guaranteed success.
There is NO key difference, if Marvel Studios can release upto 3 movies a year and still see profit improvements with every release, any excuses for Star Wars releasing another movie 5 months later are irrelevant.
Sorry, its only since Solo that Star Wars is no longer a guaranteed hit. Every single Star Wars movie before it made money...... lots of it.
The abstinence excuse is just that, an excuse. For that to be true, Marvel would have movies failing left right and centre, but ever since they started, there has been a consistent increase in box office for each successive movie, and thats with the formula of releasing 3 a year.
And yes, Marvel Studios movies absolutely are guaranteed hits, because every single one since Iron Man in 2008 has been a hit, every single one has made a profit.
I could list the box office for each Marvel Studios movie, but I don't need to, because EVERYONE knows that every single one of them has made a profit, and each sequel has made more money.
How much more proof do you need that Marvel movies are guaranteed hits?
Mary Poppins Returns is Disneys big movie for December, I guarantee it will utterly annihilate the box office for Solo.
I really don't see that as a valid excuse.
Black Panther and Avengers: Infinity War were released much closer together than Last Jedi and Solo were.
Is there some financial issue for Star Wars fans that they can't save up enough pocket money to see another Star Wars movie unless they are a year apart?
The problem as far as I see it is its to do with the deaths of the original characters.
Everyone knows that Harrison Ford wanted out, and wanted Solo killed off in Jedi, so to most fans, Solo dying in Force Awakens was not as big a deal as it could have been.
But then they killed off Luke Skywalker in The Last Jedi, and we already know that Carrie Fisher has died, so whilst Fishers death is out of Lucasfilms hands, their intention was to kill off Luke in Last Jedi regardless, and now all three main characters from the original trilogy are gone.
I'm pretty sure the reason why Solo failed is because the promises to respect the characters of Star Wars, specifically the comments made by Kathleen Kennedy that she would respect George Lucas' legacy.......... was bollocks.
So all the original main characters are dead, and Lucasfilm expects people to get excited about a movie based on a character they already killed off?
Aloha :)
It was hard to know which board had taken over from IMDB, and after a break, I found out that this is as good as any place to come to, so, here I am.
I'm releasing Starquake for Amiga in about just under a month, so thats something I suppose.
No, Gorman is responsible and so is Burke.
It shouldn't take what is a civilian to point out the terrain to an officer that is supposed to be briefed already on what to expect, discharging weapons and the effects should already have been discussed and dealt with.
Not on the same scale no, but we're in uncharted waters where a STAR WARS movie is in danger of being a flop at the Box Office (yes it'll be profitable eventually with other revenue streams) for the first time ever.
To dismiss comments made by Kathleen Kennedy and Rian Johnson as not being at all contributory to the situation Solo finds itself in seems rather premature.
There are lots of factors for Solos failure, the comments were certainly one of them.
Ok, this is easier than I thought:

Good luck dismissing that little lot...... 15 years experience huh? Doesn't count for much does it lol :)
Brevity.... and you got served with it.
Right, well thats what I was referring to with the "moms basement" comment that came from Ghostbusters actors.
My point about Kathleen Kennedy and other people from Lucasfilm was that they were acting in the same way as the Ghostbusters crew were (not that they said the same thing), but that they were insulting the fanbase and thinking that was in any way a great tactic to get people onboard.
They should simply have not responded if they didn't like the comments, but the history of Ghostbusters (2016) is a Movie Making 101 about how NOT to market your movie, and its no surprise others took on the comments of KK and others and decided not to see Solo.
Please learn the word "brevity", you've pretty much repeated yourself every single paragraph, your entire post could... SHOULD have been about 6 lines long.
Avengers: Infinity War was released on April 27th, its >>>>3<<<<< days from May, that pretty much EVERYONE will report at the end of the year that AIW was the summer blockbuster with JW2 coming in second.
You're deluded to think otherwise.
Now, feel free to post a ridiculously long winded response that could be done with BREVITY.
Yes I do, this is too easy:
On the Jimmy Kimmel Show when the old and new Ghostbusters cast were reunited on 11th June 2016, Melissa McCarthy had this to say
"Melissa McCarthy, who plays Abby Yates in the film, quipped back at Kimmel that “what these guys don’t say when they’re typing is that their moms are like ‘get upstairs and take out the garbage! You’re forty five years old’”.
So, as you can't clearly see the inference, please allow me to show you, because not all things are found by doing a Google search for "living in moms basement" lol
1). Mom is shouting at their son
2). Mom is shouting at their son to take out the garbage (suggesting he still lives there)
3). Mom shouts "get upstairs"...... upstairs? Means he is in the basement.
But please, don't accept my word for it, feel free to watch the video on Youtube from The Jimmy Kimmel Show.
