I made it through the opening montage in Up only misty. I made it through Russell talking about how "the stupid things are the things I remember best" with his divorced dad with only a few tears trickling out (thanks for engaging those core personal issues, Pixar!). But when he finally read the adventure book….. that…

Vacation had a $31 million budget and made $104 million worldwide, $58 million of which was domestic. I'm sure Warner Bros. would have preferred that it had done better, but it was nowhere near a flop.

So excluding Marvel movies, five of the last six Chris Hemsworth movies were domestic flops (the only one that wasn't was Vacation, and he was a pretty small supporting role in that). That means he has six more flops before he starts losing work!

COOL STORY BRO:

This is true of most super-famous musicians. After Gaga's last album underperformed in the fourth year of her megafame, she shifted pretty hard to Tony Bennett/Oscar appearances/national anthems/fashion line at Macy's, which was a shrewd career move to solidify her non-gay fanbase before she put out another pop album.

Yes, HBO execs, Jon Stewart, who was extremely open about the fact that not having to cover the impending election was a key component in his decision to step down, is just chomping at the bit to cover the impending election.

BUT IT'S TOTALLY BECAUSE IT WAS A CRAP TRAILER, NOT BECAUSE OF SEXISM AND IMAGINED CHILDHOOD RAPE AND RED PILL WHATEVER!

So dense, etc.

Always fun when obvious DTV animated movies get theatrical releases. Remember Valiant, that 2005 animated movie about carrier pigeons in wartime or something? That was one that played during my days of movie theater employment, and was a good place to catch a nap on break, since maybe twenty people a day would see it.

OH GOOD I TOTALLY NEEDED TO CRY IN THE BATHROOM AT WORK TODAY. THANKS.

To be fair, you can pretty much only go up from Very Bad Things, although the idea of ladies making a movie as putrid as that one is kind of intriguing.

Thread For People Who Saw Cliffhanger Later In Life And Realized The Opening Scene Of Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls Is A Direct Reference To It.

The movie doesn't work because it REALLY highlights the artificiality of the construction and the immaturity of the characters. It's based on an opera, and that kind of ethereal-ness works on a stage where everything's sort of half-imagined, and where the stage bleeds into the audience (at the production I saw, the…

The AVClub has a healthy Drag Race comment community, and it cracks me up when these things get posted in Newswire or trailers and everyone else says "…. ok?"

It was that Arnold movie, and of course, Ebert mentioned that in his review:

As Ebert astutely noted, it was hilarious that in a year that also saw the release of Stigmata and End of Days, Dogma was the movie that got the director death threats and boycotts and protests.

The red band trailer that played before The Boss got decent laughs at my screening, but my prediction is $40-50 million domestic and WAY more successful on streaming/DVD. Just seems like the kind of movie that goes better as a drunken Friday night wind-down than a trip to the theater.

So that cat is photoshopped into that header image, right?

I really enjoy his screen presence/persona, and think he's just in that awkward phase between adult roles and kid roles where he has to be the "dumb comedy/romcom" guy. Like Chrissy Tiegen, he's an impossibly hot person who seems like a stereotype (frat boy/mean girl), but clearly doesn't take himself too seriously,…
