re: New Captain Marvel clip.....yikes

I haven't seen anything in these trailers that get me excited. I agree with everyone else, her acting is wooden. The dialogue is also laughable...noble warrior heroes

Denial much?

I bet you any sum of money that US box office ticket sales for motion pictures has already peaked and is in decline or you can just admit you are wrong and troll the board by blindly posting progressive nonsense.


Take your pick.

So no, you don't understand that. Just say you don't understand it.

You never did post the data as currency. I wonder why...

Also, what exactly is "progressive" about being correct?

frick you

This tired bullshite of the left complaining about the right when 90% of the fricking pop culture is left wing is just precious.

Well la dee dah, when 90% of the frickers agree with it you horse shite is easy to spout.

The box office has many problems. In my instance, and I definitely don't claim to speak for everyone, it is #1 quality of product and #2 interjecting personal political beliefs into scripts/acting/advertising. It's the same with professional athletics, dining, any kind of entertainment. You can provide a product that is just so good that I don't care about your other stupidity or you can offer a mediocre product and keep your mouth shut about everything else. Pick one, or the other. Assuming they have put the best parts of the movie in the trailers, this movie looks really bad. So the ONLY reason you would want to see it is grrrrrl power, which makes you an idiot.

I showed the clip to my 5 year old who is a superhero superfan. Asked if he wanted to go see this movie and he said "no, l want to go see aquaman (again)."

Oh it happened, and it was awkward, especially for her husband that was standing there in front of the checkout line with their baby wanting to GTFO. Dude looked like someone that just robbed a bank and his co-conspirator was checking out the daisies in front of the bank. It was one of those rare real life WTF moments.

Less people go to the movies now than in decades, and go less frequently. "Big" box office #'s are largely due to inflation and increased ticket prices.

In the 80s a typical big budget movie might cost 5-25 million to make and topping 100 million at the box office was usually considered a smash hit.

Now your big budget movies cost 50-150+ million and those type of movies need like 500+ million to be considered successful. For movies with outrageous marketing budgets even that isn't even enough. Batman v Superman made close to 1 billion and was considered a mild financial disappoint. Solo made 400 million and was a major financial failure.

Not taking inflation into account when comparing historical box office performance is either dishonest or just ignorant.

Movies are still obviously a very profitable endeavor, but legitimate box office numbers have been getting consistently worse for almost 20 years.

I accept your concession. Next time, just start by accepting that I'm correct.
