I actually enjoy these posts, especially when you post upcoming posters.  Problem is, most of the time, they don't exist, so I can't buy them.

Lotsa hype over $180 million US opening for Incredibles 2, WAY above estimates. Still a kid's movie IMUO.

Found this abstract MP somewhere (not on Ebay);



Reminds me of:

I really enjoyed Unbreakable, Sundance.  I'm surprised and very excited to see Glass!  Thanks for the heads-up.  Okie

Make sure you watch 'Split' ahead of 'Glass' as that is the other character featured in the poster (the chap in the middle).

Will do, Tob.  I didn't know there was a Split movie.  Thanks for the heads-up.  Okie

The Rock ... is bombing due to “overexposure”?

Funny, I usually skip the celebrity interviews on Colbert but did watch his. They gave him “superstar” treatment, 15 minutes talking. But he spoke just one sentence about the movie - “to hell with the movie, let’s drink more!” Then they ran a scene for 2 minutes. Funny ... but bad promotion.  Doh.gif

Am surprised Mission Impossible: Fallout has not been mentioned.

What a superb achievement.  An action film that absolutely demands of the audience to bloody well pay attention.

Tom Cruise is absolutely nuts in his endeavours.  I wish the film all the plaudits and profits it deserves.

Want to see it again.

I saw it last night and thought it was brilliant. The action scenes are so well done, it's really exhilarating to watch on the big screen. Perhaps the best blockbuster I've seen for a while.

I know Cruise has his quirks and is a bit of a punchbag for people, but you have to give him credit for his commitment. The helicopter scenes, the jump where he broke his ankle, the HALO jumps - proper stunts that carry weight and look/feel so much better than CG.

Here's a little vid on what they did for the HALO jump scenes

To me, Tom Cruise always delivers something enjoyable regardless of the overall film.  Here's a story I was told around Days of Thunder filming time in Florida:   A friend from college told me a few days after it happened that her friend working on the film brought Tom Cruise home for a meal.  "Hi Mom, I brought Tom home for lunch." Her friend's mom thought she recognized Tom from somewhere.  The mom made them something like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches of which Tom enjoyed and was very gracious.  Somtime later mom found out from her kid she had PB&Jed Tom Cruise.  It was still a fairly small town community once you got out of the touristy Daytona proper back then.  Okie

No one looks like Sharon Tate.  But I have to say that Tarantino was very smart in casting Robbie.  She comes close.

I had to look up 'PB&Jed'...  Splendid.

Caught an excellent interview of 66yo Dan Ackroyd by 86yo (!) Dan Rather, who has enjoyed a second career as a "music journalist" (also TV/film actors occasionally) on "The Big Interview" on AXS-TV:

Highlights:



+ They're working on Ghostbusters 3, thinks Murray will commit, sounded like it's NOT stuck in development hell but we'll see
+ praised 2016 reboot but it was too expensive and is a "closed" door
+ he's faded from public view but still very lively and funny, did great impersonations of Jimmy Carter and Nixon
+ said greatest regret was "blowing off" Belushi's last call bc he was burned out by Belushi's benders
+ he credited "corporate compassion" for reinvigorating his career; he was given "Dr. Detroit" movie after Belushi's death, which kept him busy and whence he met his still-current wife, even though movie flailed
+ he had happy childhood but believes he has mild Tourette's Syndrome which "speeds up his mind" and instills creativity
+ like many celebrities he was hawking his "pure chemical free" vodka brand (Crystal Skull):
