Wow. Battleship has worse numbers than John Carter. I did actually expect it to do depressingly well, although not be a success. God forbid this be a lesson to have a concept in mind, not just a title, when you get funding.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Poor Taylor Kitsch.
Hmm. I think he'll do okay, actually. He's both attractive and competent, and he's still got a lot of good will from Friday Night Lights. Worse comes to worst, he goes back to television, like Scott Porter & Connie Britton have done.

That's true. But starring in two big bombs in the same summer is a tough break.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Wow. Battleship has worse numbers than John Carter.
Wow. I'm surprised. It looked like fun, anyway, even if it was stupid fun. I bet it suffered from "I'd rather see The Avengers again" syndrome.

How did MIB 3 do? Did it bump Avengers out of #1?

Thrive to spite them
On the way to work today I was listening to the morning show and the male dj said he saw Avengers and HATED IT. He fell asleep twice (but said he'd been up since 4 am and went to the 9 pm showing) and thought it was WAY TOO LONG. And the action scenes were boring. But he admitted that he hadn't seen the other movies and wasn't really a fan of super hero movies. (He went with a friend who had seen it twice already)
The female DJ said she didn't even know what it was about or who was in it.
Which is the closest thing to a bad review I've heard about The Avengers.
