LMAO, loving the fact that Suburbicon is probably the biggest Paramount Studios bomb EVER.

George Clooney is not taking the bad news very well. LOLOLOL

Yet Kedi is a wonderful independent film that was at our boutique theater (The Ellen, Bozeman, MT) one evening.

It’s out on DVD/Blu/Streaming now and is a treat for cat lovers.

One person CAN make a difference.

They actually did a CHiPs movie?

I am surprised “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” did poorly. Books in this series sell big. The last book, maybe others also, made it to No. 1. I didn’t see the movie. Was it that bad?

“Only the Brave” was a very moving, true story about 19 firefighters that lost their lives near Prescott Arizona.

About men that run towards danger, called “Granite Mountain Hotshots”.

Hmm... the missus & I thought ‘Only the Brave’ was excellent.

Never even heard of any of them, so I certainly didn’t see any of them.

Poor Hollywood crowd...they just can’t make it without Harvey around....tsk, tsk, tsk.

Best movies I saw in 2017 (that I can remember).

Hidden Figures...but no mention that they were all Republican.

Ramon J Israel, Denzel Washington. It really makes you think about temptation, your choices and values.

Kidnap, Halle Barry. Great theatrical performance ... and I don’t normally like this type of movie.

Wonder Woman. Great entertainment fluff. Great escape from reality.

Probably others...I forget.

There’s “flopped” like _Wimpy_Kid_, and then there’s “deliberate well-planned elaborate & spectacular suicide” which apparently _mother!_ was.

I’m getting old enough that my to-watch list is so long that anything new has zero urgency for seeing it. I’m amused by “best & worst of this year” lists, but odds of seeing anything is plummeting as I’m trying to catch up with the past.

It’s getting to the point that the only reliable money makers, are animated films for kids or films based on comic books.

There’s always a couple of films every year celebrating the entertainment industry, Hollywood telling us how great they are, and those usually win Oscars. Show biz kids making movies of themselves (nod to Steely Dan).

I like the caption for Suburbicon: "This is what happens when you try to make a Coen brothers movie but are not one of the Coen brothers."

For the most part those movies were made on the cheap. The worst bomb was probably “Valerian and the City of Tomorrow”. The movie cost $180 MM to make and only earned $225 MM worldwide. That probably lost at least $100 MM.

The director of “A Cure for Wellness” is very skilled at cinematography, but he just could not let go of his obsession with keeping a graphic, pornographic, incestuous sex scene in the film. This involved an underaged teen girl portrayed by an actress who looks underaged (but isn’t). I think that one scene, from what I’ve heard, is what got the film an R-rating and also caused it to be panned by critics and movie-goers alike.

“Unforgettable” was forgettable. Or rather I was going to see it and forgot to. Actually, I remembered not to see it. Or something like that. I didn’t go to the theater for any of these films, and almost no films Hollywood makes motivates me enough to go to the theater any more.
