Sigourney Weaver:

“Having read all four of them, I think they’re absolutely extraordinary and worth the wait.”

I mean - she thought Blomkamp's Alien 5 was gonna be amazing too. So like...

I dunno. Weren't those movies supposed to basically be stand-alones or something (whenever it is they actually finally come out)? Is she going to be the link? I guess if she's in the tree that might make sense.

I would love to get my hands on that script...

 

[Bobby Roberts]

From what I understand, it wasn't ever really a script? Just an outline or something, or a treatment I think?

 

[Prompto]

Man, speaking of August - how much more money you think it woulda made in its original spot with that word of mouth helping it navigate the obstacle course of Summer?

I'm not sure. I'm honestly starting to think Sony made the right move and the reason Baby Driver is doing well is cause it's good counter programming to Spider-Man and Despicable Me.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

I dunno. No better counterprogramming than being the ONLY programming, right?

 

[NealMcCauley]

Man, speaking of August - how much more money you think it woulda made in its original spot with that word of mouth helping it navigate the obstacle course of Summer?

I think it would depend on Dunkirk's WOM. If the twitter reactions are legit amazing June may have been genius on Sony's part.

Hell, a cursory glance says Inception's 5th+ weekend runs were all greater than Scott Pilgrim's 1st+.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

I wonder how Baby Driver would've done in September. Obviously not as well as August but it's always felt like a barren month when it comes to movie releases so I'm curious.

 

[Random Human]

Oh really? Damn. That makes sense though.

 

[broncobuster]

War for Apes is really great but I wouldn't be surprised if it fell quite a bit short of Dawn's BO. It's an even slower and heavier movie than that was, with stronger competition.

 

[shintoki]

Correct, it was basically his quick fanfic story with some pictures.

And of course Weaver is behind anything that is going to give her work.

I wanna say it would have been huge in mid August? Idk.

I also don't think Dunkirk eats it in early August even with great legs. That movie is gonna be fun to see BO wise.

 

[Random Human]

Speaking of August releases, my showing of Spidey had a trailer for the Ryan Reynolds/Sam Jackson comedy The Hitman's Bodyguard, which I hadn't even heard of before.

Reynolds sure is lucky he has Deadpool.

My campaign against Baby Driver would've succeeded in August

I would've told everyone to go see another movie for my birthday, and when they tried otherwise I'd just start crying in the street

Ryan Phillipe is old enough to play a dude with a teenage daughter.

Kswiss when did we get old?

Rth is backing up $20M for Apes and $14M for Spider-Man

Ryan Phillipe is old enough to play a dude with a teenage daughter.

Kswiss when did we get old?

When we graduated high school over 15 year ago. I realized that I am closer to 50 than 19 now...

he was already like 30 in the 90's when playing highschoolers.

I think that his oldest kid with Reese Witherspoon is older than the girl in the movie is supposed to be.

I am happy to confirm the reports that you are all old

Soon you too will be in 30+ GAF

EDIT: We are only a handful of years away from having a future batch of Toa Taks who were born after the first Spider-man came out. The superhero fad will be older than them.

 

[BronsonLee]

Excuse ME?!

If the glove fits, you're at the doctor getting your yearly checkup so good job

Please, I am 22 years young!

We should get a thread to complain about the youths

Isn't that what the OT side is? Olds and olds in training.

I'm still younger than some of the old geezer party members in JRPGs... Too old to save the world, but I could probably help out while giving monologues about moving aside for the next generation.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

I'm younger than Tom Holland.

It's funny that he's in his 20s, but is still the youngest actor by far to play high school Spider-man.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Yep. Makes me wonder how soon he's gonna start looking older and less like a high school student.

Edit: Might be able to go for years. I knew some 27-28 years olds who looked 19.

 

[Slayven]

Who are you?

It's funny that he's in his 20s, but is still the youngest actor by far to play high school Spider-man.

And his classmates looked like they should be in highschool

"Are you here to pick up your son sir?"

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

Didn't realize y'all were so old. No wonder I can never figure out how to break into this particular GAF community. It's all my youthful zest being repelled away by all this curmudgeonliness.

[broncobuster]

In fairness, Tom Holland is playing 15 y/o Peter as a sophomore (I think) where Tobey and Andrew Garfield were likely playing 18 y/o seniors. By the time Holland is playing Peter at that age, he too will be in his mid-to-late 20s as well. Still, he'll be younger than they were.

And Joe Manganiello looked to be in his 30s in Spider-Man 1, but he's younger than Tobey was.

Spider-man Homecoming sort of insinuated that the MCU timeline is moving ahead in real time. So, Homecoming 2 might already be senior year.

Ya know what, math is bad.

I think Homecoming insinuated the MCU timeline is somehow being pushed backward, lol.

Didn't they say 8 years? Iron man 1 was 9 years ago.

Unless it was supposed to count from The Avengers.

One day they wake up and a Friday night isn't spent partying but finishing up little projects around the house, Netflix, and a sensible takeout dinner

8 years from Avengers - it was counting from the cleanup after the Chitauri (how the hell is that in my browser's dictionary without me adding it?) invasion. Unless it's a really weird retcon, it reads more like a weird error though.

Joke's on you, that was always my Friday night.

 

[broncobuster]

Spider-man Homecoming sort of insinuated that the MCU timeline is moving ahead in real time. So, Homecoming 2 might already be senior year.

Feige has some contradictory statements out there saying the sequel will be his junior year but that it'd take place shortly after Infinity War (or whatever the second part is called). If it were progressing in real time it'll be two years, so yeah, a senior. But who knows.

Timeline for these connected movies are all unclear. The Black Panther's synopsis reads like it takes place soon if not immediately after Civil War, not well over a year since those events.

Garfield was actually older in ASM than Maguire was in the first Raimi movie, though he was playing a younger Peter (Maguire was 27 in 2002, Garfield was 29 in 2012).
