Exactly. What kind of an argument is that? If you love the movie Qix, by all means, go back again and again and give them your money.

obviously I have ZERO against people being able to work. 


Being able to make a strong, successful picture is extremely difficult. What's been seen over a long while now, is that these Sony and Marvel based properties don't translate into great movies, or good movies, or average movies. They are lousy movies. 

And as regards to Chandor: we're not talking about All is Lost, or Margin Call, or A Most Violent Year. That's not the subject. I wasn't commenting on whether i think Chandor is, as you put it, an "excellent director". We're talking about Kraven the Hunter, which is most definitely NOT a great movie, and it's NOT a great directed movie. 

Where's your empathy for the viewer; for the audience? Do you want everyone to go see what's not worth their time, to make sure all the people that worked on every picture get their due? 

And what's with the crumbing on the Muppets anyway? I can't believe that; it's NOT easy being green. 


TN: Kraven the Hunter debuted on Friday to an estimated $4.7m... projected to score between $11-12m Antibody Dec 14, 08:10

LOTR4 $2,000,000 Antibody Dec 14, 08:24

It's crazy that this was priced over H$120m right up until August and then it falls off a cliff. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Dec 14, 08:26

Then again, so was Kraven. [shrug] {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Dec 14, 08:26

Brand recognition, then the trailer came out. {nm} Antibody Dec 14, 08:32

LOTR Friday is $2 million {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Dec 14, 08:24

What a joke. I don't care what Comic-verse this crap is in; these MCU Sony CU new pics are all destined for the garbage bin. Stop please. {nm} Goodvibe61 Dec 14, 12:56

Where is your empathy? Chandor is an excellent director, he deserved better, I hope this doesn't hold him back. {nm} Qix Dec 14, 15:05

Any muppet can trash thousands of people who worked their asses off for a project, wouldn't you agree? {nm} Qix Dec 14, 15:26

The gaffer on Kraven the Hunter did some fine work. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Dec 14, 18:21

Do you identify with Statler or Waldorf? {nm} Qix Dec 14, 20:59

All 3 Venom movies were critical failures, but audience/BO hits. KRAVN will probably fail each of these yardsticks. I hope Sony perseveres. {nm} Qix Dec 14, 22:42

Oddly, I hated the first two Venom movies but enjoyed the third one, which critics have said is the worst of the trilogy. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Dec 15, 05:13

Has any Muppet movie been as bad as this one is generally acknowledged to be? SenJohnBlutarsky Dec 16, 02:36

No doubt vindication awaits you both (for MEGAL & KRAVEN viewpoints) when the Razzies are announced. That's just the culture we inhabit. Qix Dec 16, 10:21
