Re: The Box Office Thread

Wow, this is a gem! Thanks Vigilant! I would love to discuss the Box Office some more. Let's start with the one located in the area we live in and then venture out to the international level. My nearest Box Office is very cozy and has some old movie posters.

Are we talking about the box office as in how much films gross or movie theatres?

Re: The Box Office Thread

Isn't this like the "Rate the last movie you watched thread"? There's no reason to have two of the same threads. Someone explain the difference or I will merge them.

Re: The Box Office Thread

I was thinking we can discuss opening weekend numbers and predict a film's gross both domestically and internationally. We can do that in the film thread too, it can go either way.

I like discussing establishments better. As in "What is your movie theater like?" I think it's pretty clever.

Re: Rate the last movie you watched.

Speaking of all mine... I recently watched "A Good Woman" with Helen Hunt and your woman - Scarlett J. It's based on Oscar Wilde's play Lady Windermere's Fan. If you want to see what Scarlett's really all about you should most certainly watch this little monster of a movie. This is another one of those butchered up adaptations of a brilliant play. The only good things about the movie were costumes and Tom Wilkinson.

Scarlett's so awful in this movie, that half of the time I couldn't understand which emotion she was trying to convey. Most of her expressions were confused about which expression she should adopt. Helen Hunt is the last person on earth I would cast in that role, she was absolutely terrible. This movie just solidified my total contempt for Scarlett. I suggest that you (One-Way) do a marathon of her movies and see if you can still hold the same opinion of her acting, because I can guarantee that after the third movie you'll think that you are watching a TV series with her as the central character who is permanently confused but well trained in pursing her lips.

On the other hand there was "The Painted Veil" based on Maugham's (one of my absolute favorite authors) novel. This one included a great cast of Naomi Watts and Ed Norton. Great music, great acting, pretty much preserved the integrity of the book. Enjoyed it tremendously, even though I don't care for melodrama.

Tom Wilkinson is awesome.

That's not what the thread was intended for but I get you.

I wish more theatres would play classic films. There is one in Beverly which plays any film which is no longer in theatres. Unfortunently, the place is run down and... creepy.

Re: The Box Office Thread

Look, we are going to have one all purpose film thread and I will sticky it.

I will retitle the thread and that will be it.

Change the title, this sounds horrible! Call it, The Film Thread or something normal!

Re: The Movie Dump

Or just change it back. We can't keep all discussions here, change it back, please.
