Dream Scenario (2023) Sometimes you need to see a Nicolas Cage co-produced by Ari Aster movie. 7/10

First 4 eppies of TWD: The Ones Who Live I'm pretty sure that Andrew Lincoln's main condition before returning to the Walking Dead universe was 'better writers' and a 'bigger budget'. And after 4 episodes, I can safely say that it seems that he got what he wanted. I'm just guessing of course. PS: There is still too much filler though, like with characters telling stories to each other and such.

One thing is certain, Chen 'The Glass Is Half Empty' G. will tell us box office mojo is wrong and wikipedia is right. -

Strange, box-office mojo says it made $58 million during its initial run. Blade Runner was indeed a flop (both critically in the US and financially worldwide) even though some say it kinda broke even (if you look at it very positively). -

It made 58 million in 1968, which made it that year's second biggest hit. You and Chen: "What a flop!" -

Sigh ... again, how is being the second biggest hit of 1968 not a success? See, when it comes to 2001: ASO, Chen will always try to find a way to look at it negatively. The glass is always half empty. Strange that you never noticed this. https://www.bookforum.com/print/2502/how-stanley-kubrick-and-arthur-c-clarke-reinvented-the-sci-fi-film-19687#:~:text=STANLEY KUBRICK'S 2001%3A A Space,highest-grossing film of 1968. -

Oh, I didn't know that. Thanks for pointing that out to me. All kidding aside, the reason why I wrote "haters will be haters" is because Chen always expresses himself negatively when it comes to 2001: ASO. And now he thinks because 2001 wasn't a huge succes from the get-go that is wasn't a successful movie. And when you point out that is was the second biggest hit of the year, it still wasn't a success (to him) because it was an expensive movie. That doesn't make any sense, but what can I say, haters will be haters. -

Hundreds of thousands. Anyway, my tried-and-tested method seems to work for me. At least it spares me from the stinkers out there. I've learned over the years that it actually works better for me than a film recommendation from a friend. That doesn't mean that I rely on other people and critics to make up my mind about a certain movie, as you kinda keep on insinuating. It's just a selection method. If you can prove to me (by giving examples) that what I'm doing is wrong then I'm curious to hear it. I'm not talking about financial flops that are actually good or even great movies. I really don't see the correlation between that. No, I'm talking about scores! Ratings! BTW, it only works when the rating are low. -

I can't watch every movie to see if I will like it or not. Therefore sources like RT or IMDb can be very useful. I don't think I've ever loved a movie that only scored a 3/10 on IMDb or 25% on RT, so why shouldn't I rely on those tools? Of course, if it's a movie from a favorite director of mine then I will watch it no matter what RT or IMDb are saying. But some unknown movie on Prime or Netflix? You bet I'm gonna check the scores! -

A weird thing to say since figures show it was a success. But, yeah, haters will be haters. -

2001: ASO was the second highest grossing movie of 1968, not much behind Funny Girl. -
