Box office talk!

[Jorge]

At some point movie budgets have to come back to earth, right? Maybe these giant corporations will sell or spin the studios off and we can hope to have some cool movies again.

Whatever you think of Michael Bay as a filmmaker and of the quality of the movie itself, it's truly impressive to me that he managed to make Ambulance for $40 million. Looks and feels much more expensive. Refreshing and commendable!

[Ello Sailor]

And so damn good.

I sincerely doubt it

Yeah man you should go watch another comic book movie instead you colossal fucking imbecile.

[VinylGuy]

Giant flop. I still haven't seen it

[Jorge]

And so damn good.

I sincerely doubt it

Yeah man you should go watch another comic book movie instead you colossal fucking imbecile.

Which one?

[JuanHamm]

Let's watch Babylon together, Jorge. Then maybe me and Ello can watch Ant-man 3.

[JuanHamm]

Sorry, Ello and I

[VinylGuy]

Let's watch Babylon together, Jorge. Then maybe me and Ello can watch Ant-man 3.

Babylon was perfect for a movie theatre experience. Try to watch it on the biggest screen available

[Jorge]

Yeah and my local theater only had it for like a week because no one went to see it and those who did watch it hated it. Maybe someday, who knows

[VinylGuy]

you could have seen it on Recoleta, which is a very good theatre. It was there for like a month or so.

As for people hating something, who cares

[VinylGuy]

you blew it, just admit it

[Jorge]

Sorry but I'm not going all the way to Recoleta for Damien Chazelle

[VinylGuy]

why

you didnt liked Whiplash? First men?

[tragabigzanda]

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

[spike]

Babylon is great. I still think about it often and saw it ages ago.

Can’t believe Jorge hasn’t seen it just because some dummies said it was no good. Think for yourself!

[Ello Sailor]

Imagine getting a press pass to an indie film festival and being like "nah I didn't see Babylon but Ant Boy and the God of Thunder 7, yeah that sure was disappointing".

Fuck you.

[Jorge]

I famously only watch comic book movies. That's why I didn't see Babylon, it looked too artistic and high-brow. It's Damien Chazelle after all

[Ello Sailor]

Too artistic? What a nothingburger criticism. And you haven't even seen it! I'm distraught.

[Jorge]

Yes it looked too good and I knew it would wreck me irreparably

[Ello Sailor]

You didn't see it because your local theatre sucks and you're lazy.

Again -- fuck you.

[Jorge]

Being serious, yeah basically. Maybe someday I'll watch it but honestly it looks real bad and it's really long so I'm not going to try too hard
