Aren't you a bit old to be watching MLP, and to be posting about it in the forum here?

Movies I'm hyped to see in the new year: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Alien: Covenant (sort of), Blade Runner 2049, Star Wars Episode VIII and My Little Pony: The Movie (don't judge me).
Wait...there's a MLP movie coming to the big screen? Wow...I somehow missed that (says the woman with a shelf full of ponies). And I knew that about Rogue One :p

Also, finally got to see Rogue One. *Ahem

Now hear this!

Now hear this!

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

That is all.


Well not quite all. Random thoughts: It does indeed end like Hamlet. Was Bitchin' to see Vader actually act like a bas ass, rather than a whining Momma's boy or seeming to spend most of his time pimp slapping Imperial officers. Interesting bit as to why Luke ended up as Red Five in there. A few interesting new ship types. Did that semi-creepy CGI young Leia thing. Although they are getting better at it as it wasn't anywhere near as bad as in Tron 2.

I saw it a week or two ago.

I could take it or leave it.

I enjoyed The Editing Room version more.

The starting sequence had me jump out of my pants since i was expecting one thing and instead there was a loud sound.

that editing room version talking about the lack of guard rails XD

There was a small stir but it's gonna have to take more than a knife flip and a determined face. Still. Impressive trailer. And there wasn't much dialogue!

Holy fuckton of shit!!!! o_O

The Fate of the Furious had a decent but not really spectacular opening in the US, just barely topping 100 million $.

But internationally, it went NUCLEAR, earning 432 million $ since Wednesday, including a staggering 190 million $ from China alone!!!! This is a massive 37% increase compared to the former record-holder, Jurassic World (316 million $)!!!!

In sum, with 532 million $, it actually beat the worldwide record opening set by Star Wars VII by 3 million $!!!!

I have yet to find an explanation for the titanic success in China... :|

There was a car show at the drive-in here for the premiere of it. People got to show off their cars and then watch a movie about cars :P From the drive-in's FB page, it looks like it was a big success too. That's amazing though. I wonder what caused the uptick in sales.
