Top Ten at the Box-Office
 

Hmm, for some reason I can't seem to find the original thread for this. So, here's the redux, and this weekend's top ten (for the USA):

1. Inside Man (2006)
2. V for Vendetta (2005)
3. Stay Alive (2006)
4. Failure to Launch (2006)
5. The Shaggy Dog (2006)

Stay alive as fuckin number 3.... my ass.......


0/10

i SHOCKED to shit that the hills have eyes even made the damn list.
that was the most boring movie ever made.
the only realistic characters were the kids and ugh. it was just horrible. #8 i cant beleive it....

Most completely horrid statement I have ever heard... you liked stay alive better than HILLS HAVE EYES!?!?!?










yeah.... your opinion... counts, its fine....

*nervous twitch*

no, thats fine. the concept for the hills have eyes was great. it just coulda been done better.

But stay alive was easily the #2 worst movie ever.

Well then I guess Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector is number one, because that guy is the DUMBEST... IDIOT... EVER.

True, redneck crap isn't funny... YELLOW JACKET!:D

Amen.:D

Best thing you've said so far:D ;)

FUCK Larry the Cable Guy

Getting stabbed in the neck and eye, taking 6 bullets then falling off a balcony and getting up and walking away isn't exactly realistic either. Does that mean you think Halloween was horrible? Or 95% of all horror movies for that matter.

Vendetta got an 05 release? Did they premier that at some film festivals last year or soemthing?

Box office top 10
1: The Pink Panther (£1.94m)
Oh Lord, no!
2: V For Vendetta (£1.18m)
The Moore the merrier
3: The Hills Have Eyes (£2.46m)
Good 'n' gorey Wes Craven remake
4: Chicken Little (£13.08m)
Still flying high (the way chickens don't)
5: Syriana (£2.83m)
Box-office black gold
6: Date Movie (£4.52m)
More than enough already
7: Walk The Line (£8.99m)
Cash biopic right on the money
8: Lucky Number Slevin (£4.11m)
See, it should be seven not Slevin
9: Big Momma's House 2 (£8.85m)
Fat's no joke
10: Tsotsi (£0.20m)

I don't know what the fuck people have been sniffing here. That list is shameful.

Well, I enjoyed The Hills Have Eyes remake, but that's just me.

BTW- Here's a little factoid for you October. FACTOID: Two weeks ago Hills Have Eyes debuted at #3. Last week it went to #5. This week #8. Next week I think it's off the list. If not, it'll be at #10.

To all of the Larry the Cable Guy comments (especially Posher's), I don't have a single problem with you guys not liking him. I may have thought it was funny as hell, and gave it 5 out of 5 stars (first of this year; let the bashing begin), but I'm a fan of Larry the Cable Guy. SO, that's why I went to see it. Oh, and because Stay Alive was distributed by Disney, so that was a Stay Away (pun intended).

They sure swore a lot for a disney movie... 3 f bombs and its pg13. lol

Well, I think Disney did that because the last movie they made, Chicken Little, was shit! And not the good kind! Well, in my opinion anyway.

It's time to revamp this thread.

The Hills Have Eyes, was easily one of the best Horror flicks of the year.

People are too picky these days.


If alot of these movies were made 10 years ago, we would be claiming..OHH ITS A CLASSIC..I LOVE IT...THEY DONT MAKEM LIKE THAT ANYMORE

but because its new, people need to complain.

i bet you if Halloween came out today, people would claim it SUCKED..WAS UNREALISTIC....BORING...
along with alot of other classic flicks.

but because they are classics..we love them and watch them/take them for what they are.

Today, there is always some kind of problem with a flick.
Horror fans bitch about alot of stuff,
but when they get it...they still arent happy.

You ask for R rated blood and tits....
they give us that, and we claim...it was jsut a porno..and filled with unrealistic blood and no plot.

You ask for good ol slasher like the 80's...
They give us that, and we say..its a ripoff..

etc etc

Opinions are usually based on fact. Though it's true that not all modern horror films are awful, the majority are. Sa,e goes for the classics, alot of them arent all they're cracked up to be. Jaws and The Exorcist spring to mind right away, both are very overrated and would almost certainly fail today. I try not to be biased just because a film is new...for example, I enjoyed The Skelleton Key. Though it was no classic, it was an entertaining film that far exceeds it reputation. Same goes for White Noise. However, public opinion has to come from somewhere, doesnt it? It's from the fact that most Hollywood horror flicks simply arent good anymore. Boogeyman for example, that was just a terrible film all-around. Alone in the Dark is another. Personally I dont like to discriminate against a movie simply due to when it was made, but it's an esy mistake to make.

I should've posted this earlier, but I didn't. So, here it is now:

UK Box-Office for the weekend of April 28, 2006:

1. Ice Age: The Meltdown
2. 16 Blocks
3. Silent Hill
4. Scary Movie 4
5. American Dreamz
6. Slither

16 blocks kicked ass.

I'm glad to hear that! I was going to see it in theaters, but by the time I got the money (I was very low at the time), they took ity out of the theater. Can't wait to see it when it comes out on video. Glad to hear it kicked ass! Bruce Willis is the shit! :cool:
