In the 90s a $100 million budget was crazy talk. Water World bombed and got blasted for having a budget well over $100 million.
Solo's budget apparently is north of $300 million, so bringing in good money for the 90s won't cut it.
If we are measuring purely by financials than Colin Trevorrow made a billion dollar blockbuster on his first try why did Kennedy fire such a financially successful director?
Because he followed it up with a movie that made less than a rounding error for TFA.

I understand what your saying but I'm not going to stop attacking Kennedy because some sexists don't like her either.
I attacked Lucas back in the day for his incompetence why should Kennedy get special treatment just because she's a woman?
Could you post this at the top of every page for the rest of the thread?
Take a step back and recognize that you are actually describing yourself as "attacking" film executives over making movies you don't like. Go outside. Get some fresh air.
Because she isn't directing and writing these films like Lucas did
Yeah, these are the sensible musings of a well-adjusted person and not a perfect demonstration of how deranged being too invested in any one thing like SW fanboys get can make someone or anything...
I did. The person I was quoting screwed up their post and didn't realize until posting. Thanks.
This really should be in the Forum rules and Terms of Service.
"Arguments about The Last Jedi are to take place in designated areas only. New threads about The Last Jedi will be merged into the existing Last Jedi Sucks/Rules OT"
I mentioned it in a prior post, but I feel like the "fans" are the ones giving me Star Wars fatigue more than the movies are.
The discussions are burning me out on the movies (which I really like) and it's bumming me out.
I think that goes with any fandom, really. The MCU one to a slightly lesser degree, though.
Yeah, I agree. I can't even look at the other Solo threads for fear of what I'm going to read.
Amen. A lot of the people bashing it are the ones who say they won't see it in theaters.
ERA and Grace are a match made in heaven, who else are so obsessed with BO?
Wat
How did you read that from Finn's confused expression after her middle school kiss?
I, for one, won't disparage your utter display of bravery to willingly admit on a public forum that ... checks notes... you want attack executives and creatives in the film business...
("George Lucas violated my childhood" was dumb then, "Kathleen Kennedy is violating Star Wars" is dumb now. Go outside for a bit, most of it is quite lovely right now. Or watch Killing Eve, it's quite a lovely show)
Great, you had to post those here. I feel dumber by just seeing those caps
Could be worse. Could be Red Letter Media
Because that's exactly what it looked like to me. Someone extremely perplexed over someone else deciding to kiss them when they had no romantic interest in them.
We need more posts like this.

Boxoffice mojo gets more views than we do here on Era (the full site, not this thread), and rotten tomatoes is a top 150 website in the US. So I guess the answer is a lot of people.
That Double Toasted ''Show Dogs" review is almost as great as the "Acrimony" review.
Just thought I would mention that.
Just thought I would mention that.
That kind of mindset is why I barely peruse the gaming side aside from a daily or two check of headlines to see any announcements.
For me it went as far back as 2006 when Okami and Twilight Princess, both of which I loved, became pitted in some fan war where it became impossible for one to be discussed without the other inevitably being brought up, often with vitriolic responses.
Reminds me of taking a graduate course on superhero comics this time last year. Every week we would discuss an aspect of their existence, from their take on masculinity to the business side of things. Among the later topics was fandom. One classmate who had little exposure to comics was surprised to almost all of us in the class carried harsh views on fandom. We had to explain that we'd seen a lot f it's ugly elements, often wrapped up in socioeconomic privilege, and it left us all a little scared and scarred.
I like fandoms. They spice up discussions and I can just ignore the parts of them that go off the rails.
Ah yeah, that was great.
Stanley Tucci has a weird filmography.
It's like he's in a competition with Ben Kingsley. But Kingsley doesn't know about it.

That domestic Titanic gross seemed insurmountable after JW could barely get there. MCU does it twice in the same year.

Both IM3 and Thor were enjoyed by the GA. There was no divisiveness on those movies at release time. The divisiveness came afterwards even on GAF when the minority on Thor 2 would bring it up in every thread, to the point it became a meme leading to people joining the hate train.
But at the time of release people were way less down on either movie than the current Star Wars.
However if you only live in NeoGAF/ERA then yes you will think that.
BOT (as I'm sure you know) goes crazy over numbers. Makes sense considering the whole place is dedicated to it.
