"Want to See" Rating for NPC-Fave Captain Marvel Plunges to 28%, So Rotten Tomatoes... Deletes The Entire Want-To-See Score From Every Movie On Its Site as a Favor to NPCs and Disney
The "Want to See" score is just what it sounds like -- a rating of whether people are or are not interested in seeing a movie.
Captain Marvel is pushing SJW identity politics, and "star," the flat-assed Resting Bitch Face block of wood Brie Larson can't stop talking about how much she disdains White Men. So the "Want to See" score has dropped a lot in the last few weeks. But don't worry -- Rotten Tomatoes' cowardly leaders are ready to be A HERO for Disney and nuke the rating from orbit. I hear that this Doctor was one of the feminists complaining to Rotten Tomatoes:
Disney really has you by the balls, doesn’t it @RottenTomatoes? 🤣 pic.twitter.com/wpEdIXMR9u

Seems that Rotten Tomatoes is doing damage control for their corporate masters. As the "Interested In Seeing" score for Captain Marvel PLUMMETED TO 32%, RT SHUT DOWN THAT CALCULATION for the WHOLE SITE to STOP THE SLIDE! Ask not for whom the shill shills; it shills for Disney. 🤖 pic.twitter.com/5Gykd33cea

That's a much smaller cohort than many believe.
Marvel is mass appeal, and the comics crowd is a very small slice of that. I doubt that means a roughly $30 million difference in ticket sales.

Even without bribing critics, Disney must be spending the wealth of Croesus on this flop.
Why? I mean, really? Even if it was set to be moderately successful, it wouldn't be worth this kind of promotional budget.
This has simply got to be a favor for someone, somewhere. At this point, anyone making a business-oriented decision would just stop the bleeding, release this turkey, and let it die a quick death.

It might not, but there is something else to consider. When Disney handed Star Wars off to a shit midas, "The Last Jedi" and "Solo" didn't hit their numbers - and they didn't have much if any of the pre-release excoriation that Captain Marvel has gotten (Solo definitely had some). If the opening weekend isn't so great, it isn't the gamer/comic fan types who did it, and that's a good thing.
If the opener is way off, then it implies that it was more general than that, which is hopefully true.

==============
They'll probably end with about $250 million in American and double that overseas for an end of $750 million (that's my guess). Far from the biggest, but around Dr. Strange territory.
Marketing is generally double production, so $300 million there.
Theaters take, on average, about 40%.
So, in order for Disney to turn a profit, they need Captain Marvel to make $500 million total.
They'll most likely make a good profit on it.
Le sigh...
Posted by: TheJamesMadison, Read Some Movie Thoughts at February 26, 2019 04:38 PM (XSSCs)
I'm not so sure about that. The lead up to Black Panther was somewhat cringe inducing but the virtue signaling ("I have to see the movie which stars the first black superhero or I'm racist" see also, the Story of Obama)) overcame the potential drawbacks, plus word of mouth that the movie wasn't terrible probably helped for those who also wished to virtue signal but weren't sure if they could endure a shitty movie. The movie itself wasn't a PC-fest, just some of the actors involved. Captain Marvel looks very much like a crap movie and a virtue signaling shit storm (powerful woman ROAR see also "HIllary Clinton") and I suspect you won't see the same crowds you'd see at an Avengers movie. I suspect you'll get an Antman-esque box office, or less. It won't lose money but I'd love to see it end up the lowest grossing Marvel movie, if for no other reason than to give the finger to social justice marvel.

But few of the Disney movies that have been put out in the last few years have been good. Most of the ones done by another studio and then released by Disney have been OK. Second Hand Lions come to mind on that, it was great movie.
Posted by: Vic at February 26, 2019 04:38 PM (mpXpK)
Theater's cut is staggered, more up front and less later, but it's safe to call it 50%.
So I always crawl under my HP-12C when someone says "the movie cost $75 mm to make and has already earned $125 mm."

Iron Man was 2nd(?) tier when that movie came out. He definitely wasn't the top.
The top of Marvel was the Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, and the X-Men, and Marvel had previously sold rights to all three of those to other studios. They had to start their own studio efforts with their best character left who was...Iron Man.

I fully expect this to be the case. I haven't been able to turn on my television or get online in awhile now without hearing about this damn thing. It's gotta be monstrously expensive on the promotional end. And now it comes out they're paying off the critics, too? For a movie with basically no audience enthusiasm?
I just can't see this thing hitting its numbers.

Because social justice marvel wants a "strong female" character as the face of the new franchise and they're going to make that happen, no matter how much it costs them and . The funny thing is how many times they've been trying to make Captain Marvel a thing, with various pushes and reboots and her leading a group of Avengers, and its just not working, the vast majority of fans don't like the character. Carol Danvers used to be somewhat interesting as Ms. Marvel, but then they made Ms. Marvel a muslim, so whatever.

Thought it came out in a recent interview that they sought out Larson because she is such a vocal feminist, since the project from the get-go was intended to be a very feminist, empowering message thing?
Think that's what was what she said in the Marie Claire (or whatever women's mag) interview --- that was conducted by a woman studio exec who was very involved in the project*. That would indicate the studio confirms Brie's take, since this "interviewer" would have not included that if it were not true.
*That seems to be a thing, having celebrities/insiders interview each other for these fluffy movie promotion-related interviews

Without even looking, I can tell you that Blu-Ray release date is wrong.
There's a minimum 3 month window that studios follow to help preserve ticket sales, and they extend it bigger movies, hoping to preserve their legs.
June is an estimate based on the 3 month window and no more than that. It ain't happening.

Disney has been super left a long time. At this point it is clear the left is not going to wise up and change its ways.

That's a misuse of their system.
Like anything that polls art based on number of people who like or dislike it, it's really just a measure of overall popularity within the population polled, not actual quality.
It's no different from the IMDB raking system. Is a movie having 8.9/10 on IMDB a guarantee that you'll love it too? It's the same guarantee that a movie with a 99% on RT will have the same effect.

I don't expect Disney to pick them up for it's new service. I'm disappointed that we won't get to see a third season of Jessica Jones or Luke Cage. I think that Daredevil ended at a good point after three seasons, and would have loved for them to finish the story of the other three.

same but don't want to be a dick about it, to each his own. Last Superman movie I saw in the theater was Superman 1. The last vampire movie I saw anywhere was Bram stokers Dracula. The thing that worries me about zombies is the sinking suspicion that a lot of my fellow Americans actually believe in them. I used to think that when people talked about a zombie gun, that was a metaphor. I am questioning that theory now.

Whenever a female discovers some apparent disparity between how males are treated as to how females are treated, immediately the standard at the heart of the problem is changed or done away with.
Can't get females to pass First Reponder physical strength tests? Do away with the tests or water them down.
Can't get females to pass combat training tests? Do away with tests or water them down while also giving the testees special training prior to the tests.
Rinse. Repeat.
And the sad thing is that it doesn't help anyone.
The females will always have their passing of the tests looked at with skepticism. They will be assumed to have benefited by lower standards.
The actual lowering of standards will cause people to die or be injured and our actual preparedness harmed.
And all this is driven by our confrontational journalism we've created along with the Educational system that seems to spend most of it's time informing the student of how they're being mistreated by the system and how to get back at it.
And the nation is split even further between those who demand equal outcomes and those who use reasonable standards that those who pass will be accepted by.

Either Timcast or Styx, I can't remember which, said it will make a lot of money because it is REQUIRED viewing for Avengers: Endgame. So even if you hate Brie and her politics, to see the setup for Endgame you have to see it. But I do think it will make less, unless it is ends up being Wonder Woman good.
And if she ends up being the Mary Sue that beats Thanos singlehandedly, he is going to flip a table, lol. As will I.

I didn't think it was a terrible movie, more like a middle of the pack comic book movie, like Thor.
The fact it got a bunch of oscar nominations including best picture is laughable.
It reminds me of the movie "Get Out", ended up winning best screenplay Oscar. Again, just an okay horror movie.
I'm amazed black people aren't embarrassed that they are being pandered to almost like they are retarded. But they almost revel in it and just demand more hand outs.
Obviously that's not all of them, but I would say most.

Oh, she doesn't have any. It's a flaw in her character design.
But Enchantress was way cooler/sexier/spookier than Scarlet Witch and the pyromanic guy was better written and acted than anyone else in the film.

Like anything that polls art based on number of people who like or dislike it, it's really just a measure of overall popularity within the population polled, not actual quality.
It's no different from the IMDB raking system. Is a movie having 8.9/10 on IMDB a guarantee that you'll love it too? It's the same guarantee that a movie with a 99% on RT will have the same effect.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison, Read Some Movie Thoughts at February 26, 2019 04:55 PM

Several of the segments were good, but the movie was too long, and you wound up sitting through several that were annoyingly low on the payoff.
As I understand it, the movie was intended to be a Netflix miniseries and wound up being packaged as a movie.

Won an Oscar for The Room, I believe around the time they were Casting Capt Marvel. I saw it, she was admittedly very soulful and good in it. I remember thinking it was a smart get by Marvel at the time.
Then I saw the trailers, and how wooden and over-stoic, anti-charismatic she seems to be playing the character. Terrible choice. Marvel is usually good at their casting choices, but they may have laid an egg this time. We'll see. (Or not if no one goes, lol.)

It was one of his worst books. You probably would not like it because he definitely is dark and is anti-hero in many ways as you say. But a good book from McCarthy is All the Pretty Horses. Don't get me started on the movie because it is about the worst piece of film I have ever seen

I adore Too Wong Foo. Like My Cousin Vinnie, one of the few films that to me has a perfectly written classic-style script. Perfectly written and plotted character arcs. And both have a brilliant marriage of perfectly cast actors bringing great material to life.

Posted by: FenelonSpoke at February 26, 2019 05:41 PM (AllCR)
His books are pretty interesting. His most famous book is Blood Meridian but his best is All the Pretty Horses. Some might call it pretentious and overwrought but his writing style is unique. Particularly in Blood Meridian, on one page he is doing old west vernacular and the next it is more like the King James Bible.
I think one of the big deals about him is that he is a recluse that almost never gives interviews or explains his works. He came into the national spotlight with the movies No Country For Old Men and later for The Road.

1. The plot was ridiculous, although it did highlight how much personnel accountability has improved since WWII. After my dad was released from the hospital, he spent 6 weeks trying to get to his unit, catching rides on trucks heading forward to the last place anyone had heard that they were. I have to think that there were thousands like him.
2. The first 20 minutes bothered me a lot. For the next several days I heard the ping of bullets hitting the metal obstacles.
3. The best scene in the movie is when Captain Miller comes to the battalion CP to get the Ryan mission after having just lost his company. He looks around and notices there's one guy shaving and another making coffee. You just know that he is beyond contempt for the headquarters pukes. I hope the technical advisors fought for those few seconds of film, because I can't see a civilian even conceiving what it all means.

LOL, Matt Gaetz just cautioned Cohen about his "past" and what might
come out during the testimony... it includes past girl friends... The
dems are pissing their pants saying it's intimidating a witness... LOL

Attorney Client privilege. How does that work, exactly?
Tell the attorney your secrets, and he blabs them in front of Congress, run by the opposite party.
Is that about right?

Really it was Rick Flagg that did it for me. Stressed, depressed, quotable... "I'm a soldier, you're a serial killer who takes credit cards."
