Movies

It's a "graphic novel." Which if you look at the panels and word bubbles on the pages, it does look eerily similar to a comic book.......... {nm}

The International Market taking off the way it was the last decade has really hurt the quality of the summer blockbusters. lhayes37 Jun 14, 12:44

more money, less risk in adaptations. What's it got to do with intl. market? DeanB Jun 14, 13:03

studios want big, stupid action movies that anyone in any country can understand without having to think too hard {nm} charlie Jun 14, 13:21

Yeah, Americans are much more smarter than the dumb international people!! billy Jun 14, 16:51

int'l box office amounts to 75% of a film's overall take v. the US now {nm} charlie Jun 14, 16:58

Oh yeah, looking forward to DUMB2, hope i understand the story of the movie... {nm} billy Jun 14, 16:53

He's not saying Americans are smarter. He's saying that Hollywood has to make movies that AREN'T ABOUT DIALOGUE.. jjmarino Jun 14, 20:22

but that has nothing to do with whether the movie is being based on something or not {nm} DeanB Jun 15, 01:05

sure it does. studios would rather greenlight an existing property like "Battleship" or "Monopoly" or "Slinky The Movie" and worry about charlie Jun 15, 13:18

Was Edge of Tomorrow based on a comic book? {nm} Oleg Max Jun 14, 13:11

In fact, it was "All You Need Is Kill." {nm} chosenone2005 Jun 14, 13:14

I knew it was based on All You Need Is Kill, so is source material a comic book? {nm} Oleg Max Jun 14, 13:32

Super 8 deserves limited recognition, just thought of that one. {nm} lhayes37 Jun 14, 14:06

Honestly, I don't think it deserves any recognition. {nm} chosenone2005 Jun 15, 13:46

300 million people vs 6.7 billion population? {nm} mike255 Jun 14, 17:43

its not because of the kinds of movie. Studios needed to make up for lost dvd sales so they are more focused on international market Moviesnob Jun 14, 19:06

Have summer movies 2005-14 really been worse than previous decades? Houndowl Jun 15, 07:12

Then you're a neophyte to film. {nm} lhayes37 Jun 15, 13:46
