Movie review!

Haha, I can't remember the last time I actually properly posted this on a Monday. I bet next week i'll push this to Thursday! Soon the prediction+review will be on the same day!

1) Bolt. Prediction = $29.7 million. Result = $26.2 million.
2) Twilight. Prediction = $71.3 million. Result = $69.6 million.

I am a genius. This is definietly has got to be one of the most (if not THE most) accurate prediction I have ever done. Who knew I could pull such numbers out of my ass.

Bolt did very well. It ain't no Madagascar, but it doesn't really have any head-lining voice actors to pay big bucks for. Can't wait for the inevitable sequel.

Twilight did rediculoussssssssssssss. To put things into perspective, the movie cost $37 million to make. What's funny is that for a long time it was questionable whether any sequels were going to be made. I'm really looking forward to seeing how well this does on subsequent weekends. It has a strong formula to be a long-lasting hit on the box office chart (unattainable love ala Titanic), so it'll be interested to see how time treats it. Anyone else find it ironic that the box office take was 69? (Since 69 is something the main characters ain't gonna be doing)


I caught Synecdoche, New York over the weekend. Absolutely INCREDIBLE film, if it doesn't get an Oscar nomination for Best Original Screenplay, that'll be the upset of the year. This script... is... insane. This movie is literally like a dream, no seriously. You know how in a great dream there's a strong storyline and really emotional moments, but there's little glimpses of really random-ass things that don't make sense when you wake up, but in your dream-state it totally makes sense. Well that's this movie. There's a shitload of random ass things that really ultimately have no relevance on the surface, but are beautiful subjective matters of inspiration deep down inside. Due to the deep philosophical nature of this movie, I do NOT recommend it for the vast majority of audiences. If your'e dumb, you won't enjoy it. If you're the kind of person to ask ANY question during a movie, you will not enjoy this movie at all. I can easily imagine certain people asking questions every minute about every random thing that happens. I hate those people. So actually, I would recommend that those people go watch this. Hopefully it'll teach them to stfu during a movie. The only sad thing about this movie is what an utter bomb it was :-(. Cost $20 million to make, made $1.6 million :-( :-(. If there really is a black Jesus (Barack?) he'll dedicate more money to letting Charlie Kaufman direct more films.
