Weekly Box Office and Film Discussion Thread

Heather Graham seemed to do nothing but lesbian movies - I seem to recall one where like her brother was getting married but she realized she was in love with the bride too; then there was another one where she and another girl are standing in a hallway drunk or stoned, and they're like, "Do you like your boyfriend? I like my boyfriend, but. . . ." And they start making out out. I'm with Drtooth though, I didn't really think she was that big a deal anymore - I haven't seen her in anything in forever.

I want to say she's a writer now. I swear I saw a book with her named as the author, but it was out of the corner of my eye. Ehhh...

I realized something great about how The Force Awakens is destroying Box Office records. It passed that overrated piece of crap Titanic not too long ago (would have had to to have beaten Avatar). If anything was going to sink the Titanic, it was BB-8.

I love that little guy.

While the new Batman VS Superman movie is going to be the obvious Apple of Discord to comic book geeks, there is something I'm looking very forward to when it finally gets released.

Batman Chocolate Strawberry and Superman Caramel flavored cereals!

Don't get me wrong. I did like Star Wars' Trix flavored yellow corn bits shaped like space craft and standard dehydrated marshmallow shards shaped like characters and light sabers. But these sound much more interesting. And delicious.

The same month that was kind to The Nut Job was not so easy on Norm of the North, which opened up at #6 this weekend. Let's hope a certain other ursine-based movie coming out later doesn't suffer the same fate.

Somehow I feel opening at 6th is too good for it. But good riddance.

Supposedly the film got a complete goose egg on Rotten Tomatoes.

Hopefully KFP's franchise cred keeps the film from bottoming out. Though the concept sounds like something that could have fit into the TV show.

Why do we have to have a black parody version of 50 SHADES OF TWILIGHT LEMON FICS?

I wonder what will happen to Kung Fu Panda 3 at the box office, a January release is never a good sign considering it is an established franchise, weird how Dreamworks dumped a reliable franchise in a bad month for box office, must of been due to Kung Fu Panda 2 being crushed in the summer with all the competition.

Because it deserves a Wayans Brother parody. Heck. It deserves a Seltzer Friedberg parody. And it will still be a better movie.

I just hope the dork that wrote the original is stewing over this.

It's obvious it would have got a March release had it not been for Zootopia. It was to be burned off in December (November was too full of Peanuts and Good Dinosaur), but they wanted no direct Star Wars competition. I'm sure it also coincides with something Chinese, since the film was essentially made for them. January is a dumb time to releases such a blockbuster of an animated feature. They were too defeatist after KFP 2 and HTTYD 2 were released opposite the only comedy sequels filmgoers actually went to see.

Kinda bummed they have Zoolander 2 going up against Deadpool. Hopefully Zoolander follows the long string of comedy movie sequel flops and the Merc with a Mouth's fanbase can prop the film up.

I'd post it, but language (it's Deadpool after all), but in a special Australia Day internet spot, Deadpool makes a nice little complaint about the Wolverine movie that he was in.

The Deadpool in the Wolverine movie was an extremely odd choice. It's like Marvel or FOX wanted the writers to put him in the movie but the writers found him annoying so they took away the thing that made him Deadpool...his mouth.
He was barely even the same character,they might as well have named him something completely different. And now that the whole X Men continuity has changed and this new Deadpool is supposed to be in the same universe,what part of time did they change that turned creepy mouthless Slenderman Deadpool into the scary murderous Spiderman that he is now.

Anyways,I hope Deadpool does well against Zoolander 2 so that FOX can have a superhero hit that isn't an X Men movie.
