ruddiger posted:If you live in a hot/dry environment, those things do not last. Hope those frames are plastic and not glass in that case. I live in MN and have never had an issue with them in all the years I've been living here and hanging up framed posters. I used to have issue when I'd try and be a cheap rear end in a top hat and put up big stuff like this with only 4 medium sized things, but now big posters get 6 large ones. Also of course they're plastic, because I'm cheap as gently caress. Hence living in an apartment from the 50's with ceilings this low.

I wish they hadn't changed the title just so people wouldn't have a reason to white knight a movie that was the worst parts of Avatar and Attack of the Clones wrapped up into one bloated, expensive mess of a movie.

Mister Chief posted:Which was the bigger gently caress up, John Carter or The Lone Ranger? I just looked it up and found a site entirely focused on gross profit from a movie. John Carter grossed $282 million in theaters, with a further $37 million from domestic home market sales. The budget was $275 million according to this, but other Googling suggests 250. The Lone Ranger, meanwhile, got $260 in theaters and $45 million in domestic home market. Its budget is also claimed to be $275 mil by The Numbers, but I'm reading conflicting reports on how accurate this is; it's definitely lower, probably lower than John Carter, it's just not clear how much. So they were both pretty big fuckups, but John Carter probably hurt more. Cleretic fucked around with this message at 07:57 on May 22, 2015 |

Lone Ranger also had the weird racism of Johnny Depp playing a Native American when the character would have worked as a white person who was just raised by the tribe or whatever.

RDJ actually does that in Tropic Thunder too, which is where the "I'm a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude" line is from.

Whenever I see John Carter or Lone Ranger get mocked for being box office bombs; I find it hilarious that they still registered on film geeks' radar for being disasters. In contrast to R.I.P.D. which also cost a ton of money to make; yet disappeared from even the mythology of box office flops because it was so forgettable and bland. Its performance on its first weekend (7th place) was far behind the second weekend of another perceived box office flop, the geek-loved Pacific Rim (3rd place). I guess what I'm really saying is that there's probably an interesting backstory to the Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds movie because a lot of people behind the scenes probably knew nobody would pay to see it yet the project wouldn't die.

RIPD was an OK movie, most people call it a ripoff of Men in Black, which it is to some degree. But the weird thing to me is that it reminds me even more of the TV show Good VS Evil aka G VS E that like hardly anybody watched and isn't available on DVD or streaming or anything unfortunately. I liked that show a lot, and RIPD was extremely reminiscent of it. So weird. Perhaps even weirder is that both RIPD and G VS E are essentially "paranormal cops*" which is a concept that has worked plenty of times before on TV and movies so I dunno why no one gave a poo poo about either of them. *probably more like bounty hunters I guess

I don't think that RIPD aired in Dutch theaters, which probably means it went straight to DVD in the entirety of Europe. John Carter and The Lone Ranger did, so they both had some domestic earnings to fall back on. My biggest problem with the latter was the museum sequences. They added nothing to the story, beyond adding a creepy old Johhny Depp. Was he prosthetics or CGI along the lines of CLU in Tron: Legacy? I can't even remember.

A weird thing about RIPD is how Kevin Bacon was the main villain but most have made some kind of deal with the studio because I never saw him in any advertising for it.

I actually watched John Carter every few weeks when I was in china for a few months, since I could only find a couple dozen or so western films online.

Hat Thoughts posted:I don't know, I remember Looney Toons being fun and his last movie apparently has 80 on Rotten Tomatoes so some people must like it. Looney Tunes: Back In Action? I worked on that movie, and fun it was not. It was planned as this huge semi-sequel to Space Jam (at least in the sense of cartoons with real people), and it was pretty much a total flop. And while WB certainly wanted another Space Jam, Dante hated that movie and was doing his best to distance himself from it. Which I guess worked, since Space Jam was at least entertaining, and he produced a serious piece of poo poo. It's failure also killed a plan WB had to do a bunch of new, high-quality Looney Tunes shorts. They had made a bunch already, but shelved those, and cancelled the work on the ones still in production. Which also had the knock-on effect of killing the Toronto branch of the animation studio I worked for at the time. (although Nelvana getting bought out by Corrus contributed a lot to that too).

Please be aware that if there are Dadarrio breasts in the movie, it would be the breasts of a walking corpse. Said the guy who thinks Rose McIver looks better on her less human days in iZombie.

82: Here come the Littles! AKA "Smug: the Movie"  Dustin Hoffman is 1986 Jackie Chan in Little Big Man  Ehh, just shove Dianne Wiest in the back there. Nobody will notice  Elsie's agent was expensive, but he did manage to secure that "and" credit    Featuring the only monster to be afraid of skin to skin contact  What the heck is going on with these credits?    If I don't remember them, are they still famous?
