  1. And maybe, just maybe....
  2. Meh, we've all thought about it.....
  3. Velera says hold my beer
  4. I get these reworks of earlier films - it's a lot of money to bet on the unknown, but at the same time the audience has a body of work to compare against. You are already up against the incumbent that was good enough to warrant a remake. I honestly can't remember, but how many other than the beforementioned Aladdin were even as good if not better than the original? The tradeoff is you actually have to make something original that people want to see - and the streaming services have that in spades.
  5. Seems like it was a dead weekend minus SW, and even that vastly underperformed
  6. Haven't been to a movie in a while, but what else is out right now that it's competing with? Looking online from the 24th releases, and movies out the same number of days (3), I see The Alto Knights, Ash, Magazine Dreams, & Bob Trevino like it. Never heard of any of them. I also see Snow White was released in 4200 theatres - a significantly higher number than any other release. Sure it made more than the others, but it's falling so short of where it needs to be to ever remotely break even, let along make any money. Box office chart
  7. I think he's saying that one room showing Snow White is empty, not all the other room with other movies. When i go online to book a seat, I'm just booking for that particular movie I want to watch. Unless I'm not understanding the question?
  8. We know a girl committed to playing soccer there next year. She's over the moon!
  9. Son's a freshman at AR and while they do have reciprocity for Texas kids, he's in ROTC and joining the Guard which will cover most everything else minus a few things. Not suggesting going that route, but there are options.
  10. If you're going to do something, dammit, do it right!
  11. OK, now we're cooking with gas. Fuck you all. Every one of you slow as fucks that needs to look around find your dam bag, pack up your shit when you've been sitting there for a while to get that done. And if you have a connecting flight, why are they not allowed to go first? And there is a door at the back of the plane for refilling all the beverages. Why the hell can't we have two entry/egress options?
  12. Pop's almost gave up the ghost on the way back from San Angelo. Two lane road, enough room to pass, so he goes around this semi and the front left tire explodes. Car is pelted with shredded tire and metal, sends him careening off the road and threw a barbed wire fence that luckily might have saved him as it wrapped around the axle and he came to a stop. A creek. A cliff. Large tree close to the road. He's cooked. Fucking hell man, those big trucks need to be given a wide berth.
  13. Isn't that directly within the purview of these state schools, to support in-state kids over all others?
  14. Nor is it f'ing safe to spend any amount of time next to or around semis. If one of those tires blows, it's an explosion. An outright explosion sending tire parts off in every direction and there's no stopping that big rig careening off to that side. That much mass changing directions that quickly is a PROBLEM....
  15. In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king
  16. It's about context - you can be the highest grossing film when compared to a bunch of lower budget, small films and it doesn't tell the whole story. They have a massive recapture they have to make just to break even - which it seems as if they are never going to hit.
  17. Is this serious? It only made around $40M+ against the backdrop of a $300M budget before marketing expenses.....vastly under what it was projected and/or needed to make.
  18. It got so bad that Disney outright cancelled the UK premier and the US one was very small and reporters were not allowed to view it in advance - those in social media were limited to reactions only - not real movie reviews in advance. YouTubers are just destroying it in their reviews and dunking all over it.
  19. You think this movie flopped because of the ethnicity of the lead actress?
  20. Can't speak for anyone else, but this has been a long, miserable pattern with Disney of taking established storylines and just dipping them in warmed over kitten shit when there is no need to. The Acolyte comes to mind. Everyone was so excited about it, and it was just awful. Marvels still holds the biggest modern flop as it was a budget of $270M and it made a little over $40+M on opening weekend as this one has. Then you add in premier cancellations because the studio can't trust that their lead actor will promote the project. It's not just conservatives, the original casting moved away from "little people" so as not to offend them, leading to massive backlash from the community who weren't being cast. Sums up a lot of the issues Snow white controversies
  21. This makes be pretty ragey, especially the truck-bros that think they are driving semi's - you don't have to swing wide left to make a right-hand turn, or back the other way.
  22. It's still around a 2.0 on IMDB and most of the critics are laughing at it. Just a few of the reviews: "Lazy, visually repellant" - The Independent "Exhaustingly awful" - The Guardian "Disney has trashed its reputation" - The Times "A strange, hot mess" - Huff Post "Listless" - ScreenDaily "Good enough... for TV" - Vanity Fair "Film has a major identity crisis" - BBC
