Hah, really old, but I like the OP better in this one. I just really like boxofficemojo's chart better

[Count Dookkake]

Oh man, I actually laughed.

+1

[Good Job Bob]

Oh come on that scene is pretty awesome at the cinema.

Sorry, not for me.

I can see how a shot like that could be awesome if it was done right, sadly it was just done in 'Avengers'; oh well, maybe Avengers 2.

[Peru]

Battleship is more camp fun than the predictable one-liners and lack of personality of Avengers. Won't particularly care how the money making of a silly blockbuster fares, though.

Why wasn't it done right? What would it be like done right?

[mjc]

Oh man, I actually laughed.

It is a good moment though

[WrikaWrek]

It's a corny shot because it's shot in a corny manner.

From the other thread, thought I needed to address this so posting here. That was me questioning your rationale (that it would do ~30M when tracking data at that time was pointing at 45-55M), flaming would be an exaggeration. You should have taken up that bet with me and won comfortably. Shame that you backed out. :P

I'm not going to be going there again, but my rationale turned out to be more accurate than tracking, so I'm happy.

I actually expected it to do somewhere around 30-31 million after all was said and done, so not even getting close to that is significantly worse than I expected.

I cant fathom the amount of hate in this post.

me neither. it's just movies, man.

Great title. I choose this thread.

Don't people usually hate his thread titles?

I-RON-EEEEEEE! =p

(also, I didn't even know the threads was done by another person)

[MechDX]

Why wasn't it done right? What would it be like done right?

Nolan would have made a more precise circle that had extra meaning. Also need more Batman.

[Good Job Bob]

With character development behind it, an established, real threat and a good score.

chart is better here as is the title.

merge the threads, gentlemen

Borat is a good movie. Fresh concept (for a mainstream comedy) for it's time- perhaps less so now. Bruno is excruciatingly bad- I sat through a straight minute of a penis spinning around at a camera, only to see it start talking and say "Bruno!!" at the end. And that's not the worst thing in the film. Shock/Ambush comedy is one thing, but that movie is something else entirely, like Baron-Cohen just felt like trolling the audience with the worst gay jokes he could find for 90 minutes.

Honestly, I think it's powerful for exactly what he was trying to do. Borat worked broadly because of some legitimately racist viewers, hence the ignorant bro contingent that adored it. Bruno accomplished the mission, but wasn't marketable.

The point of those characters is to expose ignorance by behaving in unbelievably stereotypical ways and still somehow getting away with it. That Bruno made America so completely uncomfortable made it a great success to me.

I saw both in a college town. The crowd loved Borat universally. Dudes in popped collars were absolutely disgusted by the end of Bruno, and I couldn't have been happier.

Avatar vs Avengers?

Avatar should take over the lead from Avengers in Week 7. Avengers has enough momentum to keep it ahead until then, but it will be losing ground from here on out.

They do but at least this one was better than the first guys

So you have no idea. That's fine.

[Slayven]

Maybe Kitsch and Tom Sizemore will do a project together.

I don't agree, but this is a conversation for another thread.

[Ignatz Mouse]

And Hunger Games drops out of the top 5 after two months.

LOL at people who said it wouldn't have legs.

[Lionel Mandrake]

This may be a joke, but this ACTUALLY HAPPENS in the movie.

Seriously, at one point they're all...

"We have no radar. There's no way of knowing where the enemy is."
"Not exactly. We can use tsunami monitoring buoys to study wave displacement."

So they bring up this grid that looks just like the board game and have a big action scene where they're literally playing Battleship. They use the phonetic alphabet to make it "cooler" but it's just the game. It's crazy.

[Gentleman Jack]

Lol! I'm sure that in the actual movie this is pretty awesome, but taken out of context at face value, this is incredibly corny and stupid looking.

It's incredibly corny and stupid looking in the theater. I think most of the three rows surrounding me that night burst out into laughter, with a lot of 'what the fuck are they even looking at?' comments bouncing back and forth.

[Dax01]

"Hey, Avengers fans, I'm trying to annoy you! Pay attention to me!"

So exactly how it was done. Good talk.

Everyone in my theater was clapping when that scene happened. The music worked really well for it.

I have to know: Who says "You sunk my battleship," and what is the context?

[Lionel Mandrake]

They don't say it. I imagine that they filmed it and cut it out at the last second.

They do have an awkward montage of WWII veterans taking over a ship set to Thunderstruck.

[Htown]

I've never been so proud of my country.

Really? I thought you'd be mad.

Nah it's pretty corny and stupid looking in the movie




Also, I did my part last night and watched The Dictator. It's like the most hilariously offensive movie ever. Loved every minute of it.

[Raguel]

Really? I thought you'd be mad.

Is this an actual response from him? An actual serious response? If so, BAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

[TheKaeptain]

Yeah not even I would want Battleship to do better than Avengers.

Wait, why did that other dude steal your thread?

Sure.

No, it was tongue-in-cheek.

[Good Job Bob]

Speaking of 'The Avengers' score --- I think it speaks volumes to just how little personality these Marvel Studios films have that their's not a memorable score for any of them; just really generic cookie-cutter blockbuster music.

It was actually one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

I loved how Rihanna was wearing a hat in every single scene to hide her giant forehead. They jump off an exploding boat into the ocean and climb out into a lifeboat and she is still wearing her fucking hat.

[Phoenician_Viking]

The best thing about Battleship bombo is that Rihanna´s acting has ended.

[Dany M]

The other thread looks weird, I like this style more.

BOM and title make this thread better.

nope, she is a villain in fast 6.

Hopefully this means she's no longer being considered a role in Fast Six!

My gawd man stop, just stop.

The movie is good. Majority of the posters here think its good, the american and worlwide public thinks its good only you and souldiver think otherwise. You have trolled every Avengers thread for months on end now and the schtick is getting old and tired.

of course this comment is all tongue in cheek in case I need a quick excuse

[TheKaeptain]

It's universally agreed upon that the Marvel movies have lackluster scores.
