I haven't been to nearly as many as I would like! I used to go to about 1 a week, but it has been significantly less lately.

I wish I had some kind of unlimited pass! The idea of spending a day at the theater and watching 2-4 movies seems like it would be a lot of fun. But I think I could only do that like once every month or two. Good on you for committing so hard!

Have you read Patton Oswalt's book?

So many thoughts! Ok, let's tackle a few of the big ones...

It depends who you are. At the moment the tax credit and the cheap Pound means that we are awash with foreign productions. All the studios are full and the biggest problem we have is training. This is a boom time for production and post-production jobs. There are so many people who are paid (many of them well) because of this influx. However, it's relatively fragile as if another country offers a better tax break, or the pound strengthens then we could lose most of it. So many of these productions are only over here while the going is good.

The independent sector is in the same "crisis" it's been in for the past 100 years. It doesn't look to understand the business side and depends too much of pumping out films without anywhere for them to go. This means that only about ~8% turn a profit and there are so many burnt investors. However, many of the people on these productions will have had a chance to create art and maybe three or four of them will even have been paid. (Ok, just kidding but this sector is needed because of the artistic expression, not because of their effect on the economy).

Brexit is not helping anyone, and the likely loss of Creative Europe money and support is a major blow to training and indie film. But we've bounced back from worse and it's possible that the private sector can do some of those things, if they choose.

In short, it's good right this moment but it's a lot more fragile than people think.

I highly recommend reading David Putman's books on the British film industry (start with The Undeclared War). They reveal so much about how we operate and how we may respond to both good times and bad.

You must have never read a single book of Warcraft. Rise of the Horde which was likely the inspiration of this movie was a god damn good book with complex characters and serious stakes. I enjoyed it a lot.

The Muppets were aimed at adults, while SpongeBob is for elementary schoolers, so thise do not count for what I was mentioning. VeggieTales was only mentioned because it is (sadly) seen by many as a preschool show, possibly because there's a lot of merchandise that's aimed at them., despite containing many stories and jokes that adults and elementary schoolers would find interesting.

It's got a 3.5 on Amazon, which is pretty low for a book from someone with hundreds of thousands of fans and about a star lower than Ready Player One.

I checked the American website (Amazon.com) as well

I'd wager this one, it's telling that it's still selling VHS copies to this day:

Read this book. You will know. I have read it.

exactly ... not just that the DVD/BluRay/streaming is now for sale. And it is still scoring in the box office. That is INSANE (same with the greatest showman though the home released has been postponed for this one)

Many sites are still showing the March 6 date like this one , this one and this one . But if you go to Amazon or Target, those sites used to say March 6, but now there’s no date, and the Blu-Ray cover graphic now says “In Theaters Now / On Blu-Ray This Spring”.

that's on you that you haven't "afforded" a way to watch 16 year old movies. It's legit NEW at $12.99 or you can get the DVD for 9.97. With the DVD you're not even paying $2.50 per film. Over 16 years I'm sure you could've found $10 lying around somewhere. So this spoiler was all on you.

You really do just make shit up don't you.

I remember there was a book about what caused it to flop so hard, I'll see if I can find it...

Here it is: https://www.amazon.com/John-Carter-Hollywood-Michael-Sellers-ebook/dp/B00AFCZ1S4

Looks like it was mostly the marketing, but also they changed a bunch of stuff from the books to be more "formulaic", and it had all these production problems that got it bad press. The movie itself seems ok though.

> Dceu has made more money than mcu had at 4 movies

Again, you are comparing movies that are YEARS apart. That's the only way you compare Marvel and DC, the first x movies. Why don't you compare all the movies together? Marvel 12.5 billion (18 billion with Sony and Fox), DC 8 billion.

> All mcu, fox, sony, films are not made by Marvel comics

No, but they are not made by a company that own Marvel comics. Can your little brain process that?

> Dceu has made more money than mcu had at 4 movies

MCU has made more money than DC had at 4 movies without their A-list characters

> Marvel comics as a singularity has no shit to do with your mcu films. Cause marvel studios is a separate fucking division.

YOU FUCKING IDIOT, MARVEL COMICS RELEASES COMIC BOOK BASED ON THE MOVIES, THE PRELUDES. YOU ARE SUCH A FUCKING BRAINLESS WASTE OF LIFE.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/1302905163

Disney > Warner Bros.

> Yes! Dceu films are from 2013 to 2017! Retarded thats what i had wrote next! That this proved mcu made more movies in 10 years, so it earned more. It had more frequency! 16films in 10 yrs compared to 4 films!!! Fucking blind shit. U r retarded.

YOU ARE COMPARING MOVIES FROM DIFFERENT TIME YOU FUCKING IDIOT PIECE OF SHIT. IF THAT'S OKAY THEN I'M ALSO COMPARING THE FIRST MCU MOVIES WITH THE FIRST DC MOVIES, MARVEL COMES ON TOP. THERE'S 4 MARVEL MOVIES AHEAD OF ANYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY DC MOVIE.

> If u wanna compare all 16 mcu films with all of the dc films... Then that means u r afraid of the dceu films' own box office Average.

Afraid of their average? I literally said that we should compare the mcu Phase 3 (that only has 4 movies) to the 4 movies DCEU has released. THE AVERAGE FOR MARVEL IS BIGGER.

> Then I will compare all dceu films(4 of them with average $771million) to all marvel films (47 movies with $515.3 million average no.

You know what would be fair, if we compare all Marvel movies (Fox and Sony included) with all DC movies.

Marvel has an average of $515M

DC has an average of $270M

HAHAHAHAA you still fucking lose in any comparison, bye kiddo
