btw, here's the unlisted "original" DIF commentary for this movie.


Were those Mugglenet intro videos ever released?

Was the troll song not a broadway style song? Or For the First time in Forever?

Let it Go is in the A Whole New World/Beauty and the Beast kind of mould, and both of those did pretty well in the charts.

Well, they seem to have taken your advice, The Good Dinosaur has been moved from May 2014 to November 2015. Of course that means there's no Pixar film next year.

Look at the top 10 of the summer so far for 2013 and 2003. Is the 2013 list really that much worse? In terms of tickets sold, they're actually about even at the moment, but that will change in August.

2003

Do you even get the Eurovision down under?

Yep, for a long time now.

The best you'll get for individual films is the 3D ratio on opening weekend and then nothing else. The studios for whatever reason, keep this pretty close.

For the overall box office, 3D makes up an ever smaller proportion of gross, from 21% in 2010 to 17% in 2012. It'll probably be less than that this year.

But this is just DOM. It's probably a very different story overseas, but I really have no idea where to find that kind of info.

Maybe you could enlighten me, but I didn't think it was incomprehensible. Nothing struck me that way at least. Apart from the fire demons, which was admittedly a bit silly. Maybe more than anything, it was enjoyable to watch. Although I think it's getting too good a reception to say that it's just the 'splosions. Certainly the action scenes are well done (particularly falling from AF1) but Stark is a real character who you care about which TF lacks. Maybe it is the dialogue that's distracting me and others from how incomprehensible it is, but what's wrong with that?

However, both of his Bond films made quite a bit of money and both of the movies got pretty decent, if mixed, reviews.

Actually, Licence to Kill was something of a bomb. I think it was part of the reason it went into hiatus for as long as it did. It's kind of a shame, I enjoy both the Dalton ones.

The crater image doesn't do much for me. I've always found this one to be much more haunting:

Love and Monters gets a bad rap for reasons I'm not quite sure of. It's perfectly harmless and enjoyable.

The Hunger Games was released recently on Blu-ray. I'd love to know what you think about it now, if it's gotten worse for you or better.

So I watched E.T. today in the theatre for the first time and they showed the original 1982 version, so it was interesting to see how it compared. One of the more glaring changes was that the crazy Halloween sequence wasn't in the original cut, which I did not expect at all. And when they're getting ready for Halloween, what the older kid was going to be was a terrorist, not a hippie and I don't think it's as funny that way. Although the special edition was released in early 2002, so that's a more understandable (and better) change. Otherwise, the original is better.

Again, my point though is that to reduce the guns available to legal owners will do nothing for black markets, and other illegal means. It will not make the US safer.

While it likely wouldn't reduce the intentional homicide rate because the US is chockablock with firearms, reducing legal ownership of guns would certainly reduce accidental deaths. But this is a poor constitutional line of reasoning because it's also true of lawn mowers.

At least lawnmowers can do something other than kill.

I was really holding out hope for a kickass PG-13 pixar movie, but that hope is basically dead now.


Were they ever doing anything that suggested a PG-13 film sometime in the future?

Yeah, it's a shame about that. But they do have a whole bunch of non-sequels lined up so if that's how they want to do it, a few original films followed by a sequel, then so be it. Why Finding Nemo though escapes me.

The ones that make assloads of money are the ones that get shoved in people's faces the most. Avengers was EVERYWHERE. Transformers was EVERYWHERE. Harry Potter, LOTR, Twilight... EVERYWHERE. John Carter? I saw a 3D poster for it at the movie theater one time and that was fucking all.

That doesn't account for legs though, sure Twilight and Harry Potter have never been great in that department, but LOTR, even for the time of year, did exceptionally well. And so did The Avengers and The Hunger Games, they had staying power because people liked them. Prometheus, for example, did not have that, it opened big and collapsed from there. Fox could only be disappointed by it.

Apparently it had the lowest 3D share for an animated film thus far, with 34%
