Thanks for this gif, I was seriously considering watching it after it left theaters since they have pulled back on showings. There's no way I can miss this now, even if it takes a full price ticket.

There couldn't had been a more apt film to bring that meme back for. Bravo!

For Dolittle, right?

I'm shocked he wasn't even nominated for The Shaggy Dog.

One can only hope with all the 1917 love going around more IMAX theaters will show it this weekend instead of waiting until the 24th.

IMO it says a lot the one close to me still hasn't decided on showing Bad Boys, Dolitttle, or both this weekend.

KillstealWolf · Jan 13, 2020

RT Scores war, what comes on top, Bad Boys for Life or Dolittle?

I'll be watching Weathering With You this weekend instead.

Thank you. Morbius was good. Hopefully Bloodshot second trailer is good as well.

Ehhhh. Morbius seemed really bland to me to be honest. I'm not really excited.

We'll see if a future trailer changes that. I'm not feeling good about it though.

It is. I would probably wait until tracking starts coming out to make it though.

ContractHolder · Jan 13, 2020

If Bloodshot is good, it beats Morbius and New Mutants thanks to Vin.

Morbius will make more if Sony's strategy with MCU Spider-Man references pays off. If it fails, then New Mutants makes more.

Not confident enough to bet though.

Schlorgan · Jan 13, 2020

I think Bloodshot does better in China than it does domestic.

The main argument I always see against the Raimi films is basically ""not my Spiderman" which is pretty much the most boring and meaningless criticism you can find.

The main arguments I hear against the Raimi films are that its lead character was miscast, Kirsten Dunst was given nothing to do but be kidnapped each film and that Raimi relied too heavily on the "Dr jekyll & Mr hyde" formula. Which are very valid criticisms even if I like most of the movies.

I will never understand how Toby was miscast

I'll be honest and say that Dolittle totally has that air around it of a film everyone's writing of before release because they didn't like how it looks in previews, but that'll somehow end up with a RT in the 75-80% range.

That would be a great achievement for Universal tbh considering the production issues Dolittle went through

Sibersk Esto · Jan 13, 2020

I've always liked Tobey and Kirsten.

Thought I was taking crazy pills when people were praising the mess of a relationship in the ASM films

carlsojo · Jan 13, 2020

Tobey and Dunst were perfect casting, don't @ me.

Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield had great chemistry but the writing wasn't as great unfortunately

They were definitely too old to be playing high school kids lol.

To be fair, graduated out of HS early in the first film.

I'm always amused that they always put Peter in High School, but he was only in High School for maybe a year or two in the comics.

And, yeah, I liked Tobey - both as Peter and as Spider-man. He just needed more quips written for him. "Here's your change!" *hurls money bag at Doc Ock*

I argue Memento and Dunkirk are his best films.

Tho The Prestige is the best in terms of re-playability. My issues with Prestige is some of the editing really takes me out of it and Scarlet Johansson is pretty meh in the role.

But I say his 3 best films are Memento, Prestige and Dunkirk.

Yesssss, more Dunkirk love.

The Prestige is quietly the most Nolan-y Nolan film, and it's nigh-perfect.

MizneyWorld · Jan 13, 2020

1917 was great. Been looking forward to it and it lived up to expectations.

Underwater was highly entertaining as well. Very lean. Constantly moving forward. Some horror but more tense, disaster flick. Fun ride. Both curious & non-curious should check it out.

Garfield was actually older in ASM1 than Tobey was in SM1 and playing a younger character 😂

Like I don't know where the backlash to the Raimi Spiderman trilogy came from.

Raimi fans started shitting all over the MCU Spidey movies for some fucking reason, followed by MCU fans going "those movies were shitty anyway"

I have no idea why people can't like both.

Even the MCU knew to keep JK Simmons around. Who could replace him? He was born for that role.

Not sure if this is a popular opinion or not but I've never liked Garfield in the role lol. Always came off as too "cool" and smarmy for Peter tbh

Always bugged me about every one of these movies using young Parker. Yea Peter was out of high school in the original comics within the first year of publication, Peter has been out of HS for over 50 years yet they keep sticking with kid Parker for everything.

If New Mutants gets good reviews/buzz I think it'll win easily. People know who mutants are. I imagine even the lesser characters in New Mutants have more public awareness than Morbius/Bloodshot.

LOL no, both will easily outdo Mutants. Nobody gives a shit about non-MCU X-Men related properties, meanwhile Morbius is now part of the MCU.
