I absolutely adored Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, and I thoroughly enjoyed War, (I also enjoyed Rise, but, tonally, Dawn and War are closer to Kingdom) and so, I think, maybe, I had mixed emotions...

Poll: Do you like Linkin Park?
Posted By McConnaughay
Re: Do you like Linkin Park?

I don't mind them. I like a couple of their songs. I liked the lead singer's voice, but would become disinterested when the rapping started. Overall, not a huge, huge fan, but not a naysayer either,...

This was also what first came to mind for me, although, it does technically feature George Clooney's character.

What about that Reese Witherspoon film Wild? It has other characters, but it is...

It wasn't as bad as it sounds. Their list on Wikipedia is far from definitive. It didn't have all the direct-to-DVDs or TV movies, for instance. So, I would say it had about, maybe, a hundred each...

Wait, did you misunderstand and think I counted every film ever made and not only the ones' I'd seen? :eek:

I remember I did it in my study hall period in the computer lab. Wikipedia listed movies released year to year. As a young brain with a healthy case of O.C.D. it was cathartic.

Re: Happy Anniversary McConnaughay!

Thanks!

I'll be honest - I almost ignored this thread entirely because I was pretty sure it was that one thread we have that always says the username of the person reading it. :p

I write books and have been a film fan my entire life, but, at some point, I realized that I actually prefer videogames as a storytelling medium. That won't be the case for everyone though. It...

Re: How many movies have you seen?

1,607 logged on Letterboxd, but I haven't went through and tried to do it definitively. I would imagine it is somewhere in the 2,000 - 2,500 range overall. At 28 years old, I don't think that's too...

I don't like the graphics and / or I don't like that they appear as small as they do. It is a shrunken down version of the movie cover which isn't as appealing to the eye. The front-page was also...

Right, but, what I am saying is, if those budgets were taken at face value, then they tell us that Lord of the Rings made a lot of money. Obviously, interpreting the data at the box office is not an...

I understood your point. I disagreed with it. In a polite way, I refuted your belief that Lord of the Rings and Batman didn't make money at face value. They did.

Lord of Rings had a great return on investment, as did most of the Batman's.
