Good!
Not that I have anything against Kick-Ass. I just think the girl that plays Hit-Girl is weird looking.

Remember this guy from BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER? He wrote THE BUTLER, which is getting Oscar buzz. He also wrote 2 political movies for HBO, which were Emmy nominated (both he and the movies). .....from Geek of Doom to serious film writer.

And since you called him the Geek of Doom, I've just got to say his character was the only one in the Trio that was likable. I don't care about one certain character's "redemption" arc in season 7, I still despised him.

I might want to see Kick-Ass 2 but I might just wait for the DVD.

Cue Kick-Ass 2 fans dumping on The Butler. To be far, The Butler looks way better than The Help, AKA "The white woman helping blacks film...instead of a black woman helping her fellow race."
F*** The Help.

F*** The Help. No, it is so far the complaints are coming from a certain group who even though I consider myself on the side of the debate for the most part, I don't want to be associated with them.

It's official; Cabin In The Woods has officially reorganized the horror genre.
Or maybe just the marketing.

When I first saw the trailer for "The Butler", I thought it was one of those Funny or Die/Cracked parody trailers for the most obvious Oscar-bait movies. Turns out, it's a real, honest-to-goodness movie. Hysterical. It literally hits every single note you could hit when throwing a schlocky piece of bait out for the Oscars. All it needs is a musical number and we might as well pencil it in for winning every Oscar ever.

Is it that bad of a weekend when nothing cracked 5 million yet? Not really. Consider it bad when the #1 film in the country doesn't crack the double digits. So it could be worse. It does sound like the worst weekend so far this year. Next week probably won't help either (and clench your butts in advance, because I'm sure as shit that the One Direction movie is going to be #1 next weekend). But I am happy to see The World's End doing the best out of all of the new releases. I'm shocked though that You're Next didn't do Purge numbers like I was thinking.

From what I've heard, "You're Next" is a lot wittier and more sophisticated than people are giving it credit for. The trailers apparently aren't doing it justice, labeling it as your run-of-the-mill home invasion horror movie, instead of advertising it as a "Cabin in the Woods"-type mash-up.

Having seen it, yeah, the trailers don't do it justice at all. I thought it was a great movie and it's pretty disappointing it bombed. If we live in a world where this bombs and something like the upcoming Carrie remake becomes a hit, well...

Man, Cinema Snob utterly hated You're Next... blip.tv/the-cinema-snob/midnight-screenings-you-re-next-6632839In regards to The Butler, even though I never heard of it before it came out, and still have no idea what its about, I'm actually really glad that an Oscar bait movie is dominating the box office right now. I'm tired of snobbish movie theater owners and elitist studio execs constanly making it a chore to track down and see the movies that get the Acadamy Awards because "Middle America are retarded hillbillies". It also shuts up the annoying movie fans who scream about Idiocracy coming true just because Scott Pilgrim didn't become a smash hit.

You think the people who ran out to see The Purge would've been all over this movie. Maybe they're still on Conjuring-burnout.

Saw You're Next and I guess I'm going to be that guy who sees the film as very overrated.
