We did back-to-back movie nights: Friday I took her to see Gone Girl and Saturday she took me to see Big Hero 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can also accept that a movie which is in many ways awful to me may be very popular among the bleating masses...doesn't make it any better to me just shows what followers people can be. I find it really funny that so many people apparently found BP to be this great film when the few reviewers I actually agree with regularly thought it was just or ok. More hype about what it was than how it was. The world hasn't agreed with me for a long time and I stopped waiting for it to come around long ago! I never had a problem with ITSV, though. Annnd I like sounding old! I want to sound ANCIENT! Also, I find it more likely lonely boyz will actually go to see this in hopes it will endear them to the grrrlz who go as well Next movie the same old men crew complain about will be star wars episode 9. It`s not their Star Wars. take it to the bank. Chaos_in_Canada 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WoWitHurts Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I hope SW 9 is good. I don't think 7 or 8 were very good at all. I liked rouge one much better. I won't be going to Captain Marvel simply because I never liked the character, when it was a man or later a woman. I like pie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet you now the next Star Wars that has Luke Skywalker`s last appearance in it will break 1 billion , but will still have the same old middle-aged men posters upset that it might be little too PC for them and offend them. So they will complain and say they will stay home and Disney won't get their money. Edited March 1, 2019 by ComicConnoisseur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystafo Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 No bet here, I'm sure lots of people with too much money and not enough taste will happily plop down 10 bucks to try and impress some wahmanz, thedude 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to be fair and give some people credit for being open to new characters and stories but still think the Last Jedi was not a great movie.

Jaydogrules Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 5 hours ago, Gatsby77 said: Exactly. I'm guessing middle-aged men who will never get behind any of these movies featuring characters they never collected back in the 70s or 80s. I just hope Captain Marvel is better than Green Lantern -- so far, they're looking really similar to me, and that's not a good thing. Well whaddya know, something we actually agree on. -J.

Bird Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Annette Being as the Kree Supreme Intelligence. That is a surprise. She may be an older woman now but all I see is The Grifters whenever she shows up. I may have to watch that again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gatsby77 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 (edited) Nor do I. And that - all the way along - has been my point. I'm for great _stories_ regardless of the characters. The studios have proven they can make great movies out of C-list characters like Guardians of the Galaxy and Miles Morales, while also screwing up marquee characters with films like Justice League. In 30 years of comic collecting, I've never intentionally bought a comic with Carol Danvers in it. I vaguely recall she may have been in some issues of New Avengers 15 years back, and I think I flipped through Ms. Marvel 16-18 that I picked up as part of a massive collection once just to see how Mystique looked. But I basically know nothing about the character. Hell - the Captain Marvel I grew up with was Monica Rambeau back when she was part of the West Coast Avengers. So I don't have a stake in this one. Still, I find it amusing that this no-name character (or...at least D list one when I was collecting in the early '90s) may have a better opening weekend than Justice League.

AnthonyTheAbyss Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 So I blame myself for procrastinating. Looking to buy tickets for Friday, Saturday, or Sunday...nothing available. Besides a few neck wrenching seats everything was claimed. Looks like I'm gonna have to wait for the second week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gatsby77 Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Legit question here. Doesn't Fox still own the Skrulls? So...did Marvel have to pay to license them for this film (a la licensing Spidey's appearance in Civil War)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
