These film to me feel like: do you remember when you were a kid and you played that game we're you drew a bit of a picture and the fold it over just leaving enough peeping out for the next person to draw a bit and then the next, and when it's unfolded it's a crazy incoherent funny mess... That.

Is it wrong that, despite me not being a huge fan of it, I want to see it again?Comment

TROS made $373m on opening weekend with the third biggest December opening of all time. Only $19m to surpass the lifetime earnings of Solo. Easily passed Jumanji 3 as well which is also in contention for the $1bn so a drop in business but natural for the 5th recent film and still huge. Cats made $10m worldwide. Ouch.Last edited by Neon Ignition; 23-12-2019, 09:50.Comment

Exactly that!Originally posted by Cassius_Smoke View Post
[MENTION=2540]teddymeow[/MENTION] - I’m okay with those! I mean, again there was total fudging in terms of how they were used and there is a lot I don’t want to think about with this movie because I know it would totally ruin it for me but, as an idea, as an effect, I’m all good with it. But then I grew up loving classic Star Trek which had a dog with a horn stuck on it for an alien.Comment

Ah, that's worldwide. The US figures were way below TFA and TLJ.Originally posted by Neon Ignition View PostComment

Yep, big drop off but I imagine Solo bears the biggest weight of responsibilityComment

I think the drop off would have happened no matter what. Or at least some sort of drop off. Keep in mind that this is an entirely different thing to the Marvel movies where there would have been some people who go to all of them and a whole lot of people who will go to just a few - but they'll all turn up to Endgame. That doesn't exist for Star Wars so, instead, it's more like a TV that opens with a big splash but, unless you have seen all the others, you're hardly going to watch the last episode. Now obviously they would have wanted to see growth but, given the hype around the first new Star Wars in years, I think it should be expected that The Force Awakens did better than this one. So yes, I'm sure there are many factors including Solo but I don't think this should be surprising at all. As it is, the figures are still good.
Edit: I checked because I was curious to see if there was anything to back up my admittedly uninformed theory and both Return of the Jedi and Revenge of the Sith seem to have followed a similar pattern although I imagine A New Hope’s figures are skewed by many cinema rereleases in the first few years.Last edited by Dogg Thang; 23-12-2019, 14:42.Comment

I'm currently at home wrapping presents with TFA playing on Blu-ray. I'm only 20 minutes in and it's just a much better film than ROS.Comment

True, Revenge of the Sith never was that great

I'm sitting watching Rogue One and it pisses all over the new trilogy. It's such a solid film. Good plot that makes sense, good characters, great FX, the sets and cinematography fits the original trilogy perfectly. This should have been what the new trilogy was.Comment

I love Rogue One. Probably my favourite of the new movies but I like a lot of them for different reasons. I like that we have some variety in here.

Gonna watch an old Pete Walker movie, SCHIZO, prob a tacky Brit horror from '76, noticed it's on The Horror Channel right now. I *WANNA* see 43yr old British atmospheres!!!
I will report back once viewed. Had the pre-cert of this back in 1992 on tape-only aged 17 but the VHS tape was ragged and the picture rolled vertically throughout the tape.
I bet this is gonna be ****in' ****.
I'll place bets on it's well-crap. 10-1.Comment

It's gonna be like a terribly-acted, terribly-lit, terribly shoit version of THE NEW AVENGERS*. With a dull plot involving a pedestrian serial killah. I can't wait!
