A bit off-topic for this thread but I just finished Okja and Bong Joon Ho just went full Miyazaki on us. Well, R-rated Miyazaki I guess.
Super pigs + Darius Khondji at his best + Gyllenhaal and Swinton as 60s comic-book villains + Paul Dano as the nicest terrorist in the world + John McLane reincarnated as a pissed-off teenage girl = my movie of the year so far.

If we are talking looks, show her MEW's (soon to be ex) husband in real life:
That's a glorious mustache. I can see why this woman fell for him.

It still bugs me that Scott Pilgrim didn't end up with Knives at the end.

They even shot it. Focus groups didn't like it IIRC so they went with the other option.

Knives is too good for that piece of shit.

Knives was hilarious but she fawned over him way too much like a fangirl. Dude wasn't that interested in her either. Scott and Ramona felt more real later into the film as they argued in the bar for example. Like he actually gave a shit. Or the scene where he's at her house for the first time.

I don't think it will beat TFA, but Disney's second biggest film ever and 4th worldwide honestly feel like locks to me.
If a good Jungle Book can do almost a billion, and a kind of boring Beauty and the Beast can do $1.25b... The almighty Lion King? Shit man.
The original Lion King was massive, with a domestic gross adjusts to Jurassic World levels (yes, I know inflation adjusting is iffy, but still), the new Beauty and the Beast was significantly bigger than the original by any metric (the power of Disney Home Video), and Lion King has the benefit of a current TV show and one of the biggest musicals of all time both keeping it relevant. Add it all up...
I've been sleeping on it comes at night.

That Spidey thread got weird

He shoulda joined the league of exes and just been dispatched like a punk by the next, more worthy, boyfriend.
Having said that, movie Scott was more tolerable than comic Scott. I only read book one but couldn't handle it. I hated the character too much.
At least Wright turned it all into one damn fun film.
Wallace, dude.

Comic Scott was an absolute shitarse
Movie Scott was kinda stupid but ok in the end
Nega-Scott was the best

Yeah I was about to say, I bet his date with Nega-Scott would have gone real well.
He was kind of an asshole too. Dude made out with Scott's sister's boyfriend right in front of her.

Eh didn't like him either. The biggest crime is Stacey. Like how do you make Anna Kendrick unlikeable. She is the cutest person on earth.

It is nice to find so many others that have issues with the characters in Scott Pilgrim. I don't feel as alone in the world now.

Comic version was kinda dickish for a period, but the Movie version of Young Neil did nothing wrong at all, all he really did was play his DS, stare aimlessly at nothing in the middle of a crowded party, and talk about having to pee, and tries to eat a coin and that's why i related with him the most in that movie

Is it safe to assume somebody sent you this slashfic.
Top domestic of the DCEU. Might end up in the top 10 superhero movies by the end of its run, supplanting Deadpool.
I think it's also past MoS worldwide.
You did what now?
#1 DCU film and Justice League won't do anything about that
Not me, because...
This. Wouldn't have seen the point when he kept going out of his way to avoid her, which only intensified once he became obsessed with Ramona and dropped Knives the first chance he got.
Not even. Browsing ff.net was comedy gold for 14-year-old Bronx.
While that's lovely, WB have some serious problems with their international takes for WW. I mean basically, the movie did ok internationally like you would expect an average blockbuster. Considering the tonne of praise the movie has got it really only seems to have resonated strongly with the US audience. In China, even partnering with Tencent and Wanda and getting its run extended in theaters hasn't helped an awful lot.
That needs to be something that they have to look at going forward.

Yeah, but domestic makes a studio way more money than international does. I'm sure WB would like bigger international reciepts. I mean, of course they would.
But a 50/50 split ain't necessarily bad.

Would be perfect if one of those skulls was Cyborg
Baby Driver is was great. Just go expecting visual style, some snappy dialogue, and great editing. This isn't a plot movie.
John Hamm seems to just be there in a lot of the non-Don Draper stuff I have seen him in, but he brings his A-Game to this. Everyone was good. I have not seen Eiza González in anything before, but I expect to going forward.

For some reason folks got it in their heads that Eiza would play Zatanna in Justice League Dark. This was all months ago, so I'm not sure what it's based on or what else she's in.

Eiza and Jamie Foxx were my favorites in this movie.
I really wanted another car chase scene at the end though, no lie
It's Hollywood. She was probably single for 12 hours.
The ending sequence, from the point where Baby confronts Kevin Spacey, to the climax was probably the weakest segment for me personally.
I feel like we have seen Jamie Foxx in a role like this before, but I can't think of what it would have been. I also can't believe the man is 50 in a few months.

He's similar in Horrible Bosses.
Yeah he was pretty good as Motherfucker Jones.

Dammit.
It had some good transitions, but I thought the editing in the action scenes was a big problem. He went for style over clarity and I care more about the latter. Still liked it overall, though, for the other reasons you mention.
Wonder Woman is still the best movie I've seen so far this year. The worst was (trigger warning, Monocle) Alien Covenant, followed by A Cure for Wellness.
