You just made up an entire bit about you talking to your local theater manager in order to make fun of a movie that's just making fun of itself.
Can't imagine anyone watching the trailer and picking up "Oscar bait" the trailer clearly sold the film as a Sci-FI Action popcorn flick. Should have been a summer movie, probably would have done better in the box office then it's going to do.
I don't really have a problem telling people to keep it down, or doing a nice stare/glance in their direction. And if they don't shut up or put their phone away I slap their popcorn in the air and drink the rest of their slurpee and apologize for my rudeness.
Scarface, Chinatown, No Country for Old Men, The Usual Suspects, Smokey and the Bandit, Beetlejuice, Ocean 11, The entire Fast in the Furious franchise, Godzilla... I could keep going, all those are films where your'e kinda rooting for the bad guys.
Do you even watch movies?
Song actually felt out of place and lazy. Could have used a better song to set the mood.
It looks funny and has a great cast. It's also getting Oscar buzz already too. I'll probably watch it in theaters.
I would add Inherent Vice, The Sisters Brothers and even I'm Still here to the list.
I wouldn't go so far as to say he topped Ledger's performance (he did win an Oscar, mind you).The Joker we saw in the Dark Knight was actually cunning, funny and demented. Phoenix's Joker was a sad, pathetic mad man. Didn't feel like he could outwit anyone.
I also don't see the need in comparing the two. Both did a wonderful job and brought their own unique portrayal to the role
Are you implying the mid 90's didn't have any movies of value? Literally one year before this (1994) had some classics. The Shawshank Redemption, Pulp Fiction, Forrest Gump, Clerks, The Professional, Four Weddings and a Funeral.. I could keep going.
Also Mallrats wasn't intended to be a "Blockbuster" type movie when it came it. Budget was 6 million..The movie did underperform at the box office grossing only 2 million.. But the movie found it's audience when it hit VHS/DVD. It's probably my favorite Kevin Smith Movie after Dogma.
Ehh I'd go with Empire Strikes Back
You may have missed the window of discovering these movies in your youth to fully enjoy them for what they are
I think the real twist or reveal is that Mysterio is able to expose Peter Parker as Spider-Man. Peter Parker is constantly trying to protect himself from being outed, and here he is, in the middle of time square exposed.
Yeah, the whole jumpsuit thing was also strange. But I was talking about the normal clothes they had on. Remember when Adelaide goes down to the fun house, she has on a Thriller Micheal Jackson shirt and Red also had on a Thriller shirt but her's was distressed. If you noticed everyone one of the clones had on the same outfits as the people on top.
At-least it's Jim Jarmusch giving it a try. Cast looks good too. My local theater isn't showing it, if not I would have probably gone to watch it.
Ha love those videos
Im guessing it's the chubby one
All you do is talk about box office numbers. It's kinda weird. Also why is your avatar a Hitler Mickey Mouse?
90's kids are in their 30's already, these movies are targeted at kids. What it's doing is selling 90's culture to Gen-z. 90's culture has been for sale for a while now.
I mean, we are getting into semantics over the word compelling. The fact is, like you stated Darth Maul had potential that was never reached. It would have been nice to have the character further explored in episode 2 and maybe even 3.
