I was planning on watching IW again before I saw Endgame.
Still have to see Captain Marvel though

I had forgotten some of the stuff that happened, so I figured it was a good refresher (I have a hard time with movies that I've watched in the last few years since working night shifts -- I find that my memory for details just isn't that good).

I liked civil war. It was much better than a lot of the dreck that came in between it and Iron Man and the first avengers.

Eh maybe another time I will get into it but for now I will just agree to disagree. :)

Fwiw I found most of the films cooky cutter anyways.

By the by, Marvel has the #2 movie in America as well. Captain Marvel jumped back up to $8.05 million to come in just ahead of La Llorona's $7.5. Captain Marvel has a cumulative $413 million domestic and is over $1.11 billion globally.

Adjusted for inflation, Endgame is already #203 all-time. Unadjusted it sits at #50. After just three days of release.

These NEED to be adjusted. Or count tickets/bodies

You also have to take into account that not everyone saw GWTW in 1939. There were numerous re-releases and once Ted Turner got the rights he showed it in his Atlanta theater twice a day for 365 days a year for several years.

So are you discounting multiple views?

No, I just don't think it's fair to compare movies that have a release window of about 90-180 days to a movie that enjoyed thousands of days in release. I also don't think it's right to adjust everything to the, for example, 1939 dollar when GWTW and Wizard of Oz enjoyed numerous releases in other years. The same standard can be applied to the original Star Wars trilogy. A New Hope did the vast majority of its business in 1977, but taking the 1997 re-release and applying inflation since 1977 would be wrong. There is no true way to compare box office releases over eras. The concept of a wide, simultaneous, release into thousands of cinemas nationwide just didn't exist back then. Just as the ability to see a movie in your house four months later didn't exist either.

I'd like to see a return to a more gregarious and charming bond. He can still be foreboding and difficult (Connery) but part of Bond is style and we haven't had a genuinely stylish Bond for a long time.

Matt Bomer, in his "White Collar" hey-days, would've been an excellent Bond under those criteria.

I somehow missed this. There's cheese and then there's just absurdity. Casting Denise Richards as a nuclear physicist isn't even in the realm of believability.

Yes, but it does have one of the greatest Bond one-liners of all time: "I thought Christmas only comes once a year."

They had it with Brosnan. Goldeneye was awesome. Then they gave him the ****tiest scripts ever for his other two Bond films.

Which of his four movies was that forgettable that you skipped it? :D
(Obviously not Goldeneye)

But agreed that his scripts got progressively terrible.
