Matt Damon's and George Clooney's "Suburbicon" is One of the Biggest Flops In Paramount Pictures' History
Or is it just a crap movie? Probably a little bit of both.George Clooney's "Suburbicon" didn’t just struggle at the box office. It sank. The film this weekend became one of Paramount Pictures' worst performing wide-releases ever, and it marked a new box office low for Clooney as a director and for star Matt Damon. "Suburbicon," which debuted on 2,045 screens, notched one of the most dismal wide-release debuts in recent years. It earned just $2.8 million at the box office, though it cost $25 million for Black Bear Pictures to produce and $10 million for Paramount Pictures to distribute. ... Critics didn't respond well to the mix, either; its Rotten Tomatoes score is just 26 percent fresh.It's not just the liberals' beloved Aren't Suburban People Just Trash Racists? genre that seems to be in bad odor with the public. It's also their other beloved genre, Aren't Conservatives Destroying the Earth With Their Cars and Racism?, that's also flopping hugely.
Director Dean Devlin's "Geostorm" opened over the weekend, sans critics reviews, to an anemic $13 million. The film reportedly cost up to $140 million.The Weekly Planet podcast talks about the catastrophe of "Geostorm." That's not the only enviroxploitation film that's flopped recently, as Christian Toto notes -- so did the Al Gore Inconvenient Truth sequel and the goofy Mother Earth parody "Mother!" Oh, and he says that there's some environmental nuttery in the Blade Runner sequel too, and that also flopped. In related don't-want-this news: Netflix has decided to suspend production of House of Cards' last season as they look into the Spacey matter. Previously they had announced the show would be cancelled after the completion of the sixth season; now that seems up in the air.

Andy Dick has been dropped from the independent feature film Raising Buchanan following accusations of sexual harassment and misconduct on set. The Hollywood Reporter was not able to reach any of the alleged victims, however, two sources detailed Dick’s inappropriate behavior, which included groping people's genitals, unwanted kissing/licking and sexual propositions of at least four members of the production. It's unclear if those involved were actors or crew.In what's looking like a pattern in these cases, he denies the most serious claims while allowing some of the less serious stuff might have happened:
And topless female protesters protest the opening of Roman Polanski exhibit in France, saying that Polanski should be given a Caesar (the French Oscar) for rape. This as another allegation of underage rape is leveled against Polanski.
Though the 51-year-old actor denies he groped anyone, he does admit to other inappropriate behavior: "I might have kissed somebody on the cheek to say goodbye and then licked them. That's my thing."

As far as Andy Dick, he's always been creepy and disgusting. He always hid his mental illness behind being a "comedian."

From what I've read about Suburbicon, they actually tried to trick people with the trailer(s) into thinking it was a different kind of movie.
That is what they will have to resort to, lying to us to try to continue brainwashing us.

Geostorm looked so bad even I didn't want to go to the movies to see it and I like the Sharknado movies unironically.
RE: Suburbicon - there's also the matter that the ad campaign was simultaneously boring and a lie. Unless you went online to see what it was about ahead of time, you would have no idea that it was about Racism You Guys, You Guys Racism Is Bad, M'Kay?
It's one thing for, say, Get Out to have a bit of a misleading ad campaign. That's was a horror movie and part of the plot was revealing the extent of the Big Bad. That's rather different then we're going to promo this movie like it's some kind of weird murder mystery type thing and, by the way, not even have any black people in the trailers.

Even the liberals think it's crap -- that's how bad it is.
The main problem? There's a huge subplot involving Matt Damon -- a cisgender white male conservative -- being ludicrously racist against his new black neighbors (back in the 1950s) -- which it turns out has basically NOTHING to do with the eventual plot of the film. It's obvious the "racism" angle was just thrown it to make white people look evil.
Even worse, in addition to ugly racism and really gross-out violence, there are out-of-the-blue "humorous" lines that are jokey and completely inappropriate and jarring -- totally spoiling any "mood" the movie may have developed.
And in the end (SPOILER, but it deserves to be spoiled), it's all a big red herring, because the lead character (Damon) is --ta da! -- the villain after all.
So: Everyone's unlikeable. Anti-white. Jumble of tones. A "twist" that by now is cliche. A message movie combined with a gore movie combined with a dumb humor movie. Fail.

I actually enjoy his acting. I loved John Wick-that was an excellent popcorn movie. John Wick II was not as good, and frankly, I think they should have stopped at one. It was a good ending.
And bless him, he has been through it. But he seems to prefer keeping his private life private, and yet still is gracious to fans. A class act.

I just watched a movie starring him last night!
It was called "The Whole Truth," came out in 2016. Decent courtroom drama film.
But the movie had a weird detail. Keanu plays a lawyer defending a kid for murder. The kid's mother is played by some scrawny klnda ugly chick. I thought, "Wow, how did this random not-very-appealing unknown actress get a big role opposite Keanu Reeves?"
Then the credits rolled:
IT WAS FREAKIN' RENEE ZELLWEGER!
Her plastic surgery was so disastrous that I didn't even recognize her, and she went for being completely distinctively cute to being blank-face and not attractive at all. Why did she do it? She removed all her distinguishing charactristics!

It's one thing for, say, Get Out to have a bit of a misleading ad campaign. That's was a horror movie and part of the plot was revealing the extent of the Big Bad. That's rather different then we're going to promo this movie like it's some kind of weird murder mystery type thing and, by the way, not even have any black people in the trailers.

The rest, though? Garbage.
When I saw trailers for Geostorm I KNEW it would flop. It has that classic "Big Hollywood production that flops and flops HARD" quality to it, like "The Core" or "Battlefield Earth." I was surprised they were releasing it in the fall, TBH, since this is typically the time for Oscar bait. I guess they're shooting for a Best VFX Oscar?
Nothing makes me happier than seeing Suburbicon fail. What utter gobshite. I've only ever enjoyed one movie that had anything to do with George Clooney: O Brother, Where Art Thou? Everything else has been bland or overly contrived.
I actually think the Coen Brothers could have made it an interesting, dark comic tale if they took the reins. But as soon as Clooney picked it up it was basically doomed to fail.
George, word to the wise: next time the Coen Brothers abandon a script, leave it abandoned. They're better at this than you are.

Keanu is actually a very good actor, provided, as you say, he's in the right kind of role. Generally that means a character who's either blue steel levels of determined (Jack in "Speed", John Wick) or frequently baffled (Neo in "The Matrix", Ted in "Bill Ted"). The Matrix actually makes sense as the vehicle that really re-kickstarted his career in the late 90s, since it combines both of those qualities: determination and confusion.

He was in the epic movie "The Warriors" back in the 1970s.
He was the guy named Luther who clicked the beer bottles on his fingers and chanted "Warriors. . . come out and . . . plaa-ay!"
He was also Sully in the movie "Commando" with Schwarzenegger. He was the guy Arnold dropped off a cliff after promising him:
"I like you, I'll kill you last."

He also started a motorcycle company - no idea how much money he gets from that.

Keep your eye on Clooney. I think he has presidential aspirations.
Not that I worry about him. But politicians have seen what a public figure (like Trump) can do and perhaps part of this recent 'outing' of everyone is a pre-emptive strike.

I believe that the only hits are Ocean's movies.
Others were mildly successful, but he's easily one of the most overrated movie stars.
Henry Fonda was a star. America liked him. Same with John Wayne.
Today the number of stars seems much smaller. I'd say that Will Smith may actually be the only genuine movie star (as in, his name alone can help open a movie), but he's had some smaller films recently that have underperformed.
I have a theory that stars are only stars as long as they are used in combination with a genre. Robert Downey Junior can open the shit out of a Marvel movie, but he can't open the little movie about a small town judge.

Devlin's a nice guy - Adam Baldwin and Christian Kane vouch for him as a Hollywood lefty who's polite to conservatives, and his Twitter feed is almost completely apolitical. He made "Leverage" for many years alongside the TV movies of the "The Librarian" novels and the new "The Librarians" series that's a lot of fun.
Also, he operates completely outside of the Hollywood system and isn't affiliated with any studio. He owns his own production company, Electric Entertainment (logo: Ben Franklin's kite), and shoots everything on digital directly into Final Cut Pro X, so every time a scene is completed it's immediately added to the rough cut of the show.

Not just nowadays. I remember seeing the original The Howling at one of those long-vanished artifacts of a better America, a shopping-center cinema in a once-middle-class area of town. The audience, many of whom would fit right in on Judge Judy, Jerry Springer, or worse programs today, talked to the characters on screen. "Oh, no, honey! You don' wanna go in there!" "Oh, God, here he comes!" "Oooh, he ugly!" (I presume this last was about the werewolf, not anybody else in the theatre.)

"There were no teen picture," he said. "Andy Hardy's pictures were what Hollywood considered youth pictures, but they weren't pictures for the youths. Andy's father was an authority figure who always got Andy out of trouble. At the end of the movie the kid would say, 'I'll never do that again,' and the audience of adults would be joyful. But that wasn't a teen movie; it was a lecture."

I can see that. Though I also think, to an extent, that was part of what made the character who he was. You don't get that upset about a lack of Dapper Dan hair gunk if you aren't more than a little self-absorbed aesthetically narcissistic.

- feed the cats
- eat breakfast
- shower
- move wood, fire, 2 (two) face cords
- put together something for dinner
- call mom
Not on the list:
Contemplate how many people one has to lick, as a routine matter, in order to forget whether or not one has licked a particular person within the last year. I could name every person I have licked, ever, in my life, right now. Is that wrong? Should I be licking more people? I don't know how this works.

Jeb Hensarling has been a tremendous public servant for the people of Texas, most recently as the Chairman of the Financial Services Committee on which I am privileged to serve.
Jeb's strong grasp of policy and his strong conservative principles have been an invaluable asset to the Republican Conference in his eight terms as a Member of the House of Representatives. As Jeb enters this next chapter of life, my colleagues and I wish him the very best in whatever path he chooses to take.

Constantine takes faith seriously which is refreshing. Though casting Tilda Swinton to play Gabriel is just lazy.
It's like the casting in Only Lovers Left Alive. Okay we need two people who can plausibly play centuries old vampires who are full of ennui but also obsessive love for each other. So Tilda Swinton and Tom Hiddleston okay that's done.

I thought he was fantastic in Moneyball.
I almost didn't see the movie because I thought casting a big star was a mistake. The role is so low-key, the plot so undramatic --- how are you going to suspend disbelief when a super-famous face is in the lead?
But within a couple of minutes I was seeing Billy Beane and not Brad Pitt.
I think that's good acting --- and he had no layers of make-up and phony accents to help him.

I thought he was pretty good in From Dusk til Dawn - but that means you haven't seen Salma Hayek's snake dance.
---------------
That was one bad movie. Besides the snake scene the thing I like most about it was they used the actor who played "Then Came Bronson" as the Sheriff in the opening bar/shootout scene. Hadn't seen him in anything since the 1970s.

Well hear me out as far as Keanu. You may not be able to share in my perception in any way...but from what I've seen of his movies in the past, he's a very shallow actor. He's never got past the idiot surfer dude of Bill and Ted, because he is the idiot surfer dude of Bill and Ted. Haven't seen anything since the Matrices and don't intend to. He's an irritating funny looking Hollywood shmuck that has convinced women that he is attractive. A male analog to Andy McDowell.

The Jennifer of the Friends days was super-hot. But she was also funny, and she still can be. Check out Just Go With It. Her hula dance scene with Nicole Kidman (who is hotter still) is a classic of both sexy and funny. Not many actresses can pull both of those off.

Andy McDowell has nice girl charm.
I can't argue you out of your obviously wrong opinion (like BSG and the hag Winona), but you're wrong. :-)
Joking aside, I just think he works well in certain roles. Speed, the first and only good Matrix movie, John Wick, The Devil's Advocate, The Replacements.

Yeah gads, that movie was bad except for the fight at the end and kind of Vader. So the only good thing was calling back to the original like TFA. Otherwise it was an incoherent plot with unlikeable characters.
Let your grumpiness flow through you and you'll see it wasn't that good.

Transformers was the only one of those that you could say had at least a decent outing, but its production budget was almost twice its domestic gross.

Haven't seen Bladerunner 2049, but in fairness, the original book was about earth after a nuclear war.
(Most of the surviving population had fled to the off-world colonies, while the men left behind wore lead codpieces to prevent their gonads from being irradiated. And owls were extinct.)
The 1982 movie hinted at this, but never made it explicit. The viewer was left to wonder: Why is L.A. perpetually raining & dreary, instead of warm & sunny? And, why have artificial animals virtually replaced all the real ones?
