It was kind of the last in a long line of Universal movies that bombed at the box office and then went on to become cult classics after home video release.

My four favorites, in roughly five year increments:

Tremors Mallrats Josie and the Pussycats Scott Pilgrim vs the World

IIRC it did “okay” here too but had a bloated budget and unrealistic expectations because of all the big names involved.

Josie and the Pussycats

I actually agree that the first half was great and there were some solid bones and performances but I don’t think there was a break movie just below the surface of FF. Nothing we have seen or heard from that third act suggests Trank’s cut would have been demonstrably better.

What a cunt.

You should collect them all and get an illustrator. Make a little 50 page ebook. I’d buy it.

I just got a new iPhone. It offers the option during setup, to leave your location on for your designated family. I left the box checked yes because it was the default and I had no strong feelings about it.

Some profoundly shitty dudes in these comments.

Funny meme, depressing thread for Lemmy.

Also Zaphod didn’t want to mention it but the baby had a knife.

In my experience with Marcus Theatres, this will make ordering a lot less convenient and lead to less food sold.

Probably a wash in terms of bottom line because it makes refilling your alcohol frictionless.

Godzilla Minus Zero (No Limit), with apooogies to Bob Dylan.

It’s almost like Ellison is an evil motherfucker who isn’t used to being told no and doesn’t understand consent…

It’s easy to joke about, but I feel like this is a microcosm of the problems plaguing Hollywood. The notion that a franchise routinely closing in on $2B a movie at the box office is somehow not profitable speaks to how absolutely unhinged the budgets are going in.

Ok but…he didn’t even write the movie.

Well, that answers that!

They are strongly discouraged in journalism school, no lie.

Pretty sure Florida is the polar opposite of paradise, Joni.

It’s a very well-made and emotional film, but I do think you can watch the trailer and accurately gauge your likely tolerance level for it.

They’re event films that you want to see for the spectacle. That’s what they have going for them. They leave the same impression as a fireworks show, which is why everyone goes but no one talks about it afterward.
