So Bruce Willis (didn't even know he was still acting) is starring in a remake of the Charles Bronson film series, DEATH WISH, which Bronson had already exhausted from the 70s through the 90s.

And . . . , this is apparently is yet another example of how conservatives are the real snowflakes out there, because for whatever reason, conservatives are whining and complaining about how liberals are whining and complaining about how racist and offensive this movie is, yet I haven't seen anybody - liberal or otherwise - whining and complaining about this movie being racist or offensive, just these conservative snowflakes whining and complaining about liberals whining and complaining.

After seeing the trailer, all I see is Bruce Willis starring in another Bruce Willis movie that bears the name of Charles Bronson movies.

The Nut Job 2 finished at #3 like its predecessor, but only managed to make a little under $8.9 million this weekend, less than half the first one made.

Oh, it's out already? Expectations must not have been high, because I haven't seen a single ad for it.

I remember seeing ads for it a few weeks ago. Maybe they were pulled later on?

 

[D'Snowth]

I don't know. I just know I haven't seen a single ad for it anywhere: no promos on TV, not even the obligatory trailers and sneak-peak clips on YouTube.

Huh. I saw lots of ads for it where I live.

The Nut Job 2 opened in 4,003 theaters and will only manage to bring in just under $9 Million? That's some sort of new record. That's just awful.

Chris Columbus has already finished the script on Gremlins 3, which will return to the dark and twisted tone of the first film and even touch on some moral issues as well. And animatronics are still going to be used, with CGI mainly used for removing wires in post. Things are looking promising here, as not a whole lot of fans liked the 2nd film for its constant meta jokes.

I heard Chris was working on a new Gremlins movie, but that was years ago, I wasn't sure if anything had become of it.

It was a hit this weekend, setting records in September with $117 million. After the big summer slump in August, this was a much-needed boost.
