#50mill

[zendyval]

I don't know if you've discussed this but I was just on that ugly ass place called X and seeing some people argue whether Twister was successful or not.

Apparently the 90s film in 90s dollars made over 400 mill and this Twister 2024 with a known and famous movie before it, with the next global superstar sexiest man alive (jokes) lead Glen Powell made 300mill Domestic, and couldn't crack 50mill internationally.

So the argument is some people are calling it successful because it made good money Domestic but others are pointing out with a budget of 150-200mill it can't be considered a success, so much excuses and faffing around about how Deadpool cut it off before it could make money and just other bullshit, others arguing it couldn't even beat the 90s box office numbers, just all around interesting conversation in the movie space.

I personally want all movies to do well but the standard people hold for one movie vs another is crazy to me because I can already see this not even having a smallest effect on Glen going forward as it will be called a success, the same way I can see Furiosa making 170mil with a 168mill budget not affecting Anya because "it's not her fault the market didn't take to it".

I know nothing about Twister so won't really speak to this film particularly, but online film discussions have become so tiresome. Both in terms of quality of films and what defines success because literally nothing is good enough ever and most of it is at its heart a fan pissing contest because they want everything to be a "flop" besides whatever their faves do.

I do think it's entirely unfair to compare a megahit movie from the 90's to the performance of a movie at the box office today because the environment/world/circumstances are just totally different. So I do feel like anyone that leads with those arguments is being disingenuous.

I do find it hard to claim that a movie that did $300 million domestically is a flop in a sense of that is about all you can ask of a movie domestically. I also think how to determine the success of a film has changed also, with streaming and streaming deals and etc.

There may be legitimate conversations to have though on the size of film budgets and if most of them need to be less, in light of current box office expectations.

My other pet peeve is when twitter posts a movie clip of anything out of context to say it's the worst thing they have ever seen- either due to CGI, or acting, or the writing, or cinematography, etc. And it's usually not, it's just a movie clip posted entirely void of context so other people can pretend to sound smart. See when they posted that one Challengers clip or something and twitter decided that Lucas was a bad director and the editing/cinematography was bad.

my dream fancy adult house

2-3 stories

1 normal sized bedroom for me, the master bedroom for multiple guests to share if i ever have guests (most likely family), large kitchen, average dining room, living room/gaming/entertainment room, 1 full bathroom per bedroom and a smaller toilet/sink outside.

other: gym room with a pole, attic, a crafting/work studio garage, a backyard pool, and a soundproofed dungeon with hard points.

I said I'd shut up about it but it's happening again 😭

Numbers don't matter but if you actually look at the numbers then itzy should have gotten noms lmao. I wish people could just say "I don't like this group" instead of acting as if being snubbed is proof they aren’t relevant. ITZY was being snubbed and mistreated before sneakers released lmao wbk this for ages 😭 like however much of a hater you are no one can deny 2021 mama was legendary... and they still didn't get noms that year or the next lmao. Mnet deleted that performance THEIR MOST VIEWED VIDEO FROM THAT AWARD SHOW and still won't repost it. Mnet consistently uses our girls for views but didn't give ryeji any trophy for getting 50mill on mix and max or even film a vid for Yeji's trophy. They don't go on choom anymore despite all their videos being amomg the most viewed and other jype groups still going. Clearly something is happening behind the scenes 😭😭 be it div 2 or msnake or both. This is not a gotcha moment for annoying hate masquerading as criticism lmao just stfu about itzy 😭😭😭😭

I know this is gonna make me sound like a right wing grifter but I don't understand when millennials are like 'culturally we went through so much like 9/11 and Iraq and the housing crisis etc' I'm like world war 1 and world war 2 went on virtually back to back and then there was Vietnam pretty much right after and the Korean war and the cold war during these times and the Pacific war during world war 2 and the aids crisis and crack epidemic like all of those things happened during the duration of my grandmothers life time and she is still alive today. Shit is literally always happening I'm surprised we aren't in another world war by now. Also the influenza pandemic I forgot to mention that took like 50mill lives and covid took 7mill lives. And I am comfortable making these comparisons because that's what this argument is making.

yea tumblrs ads dont bother me enough for that 2 be the only reason id pay for it? but if the tradeoff is i am the product being sold to advertisers (so the site capitulates to them) vs i am the customer paying for a service (so they need to listen to me) i like that one better

Most itt lehet szidni mindenkit is, ettől függetlenül ez az OSB, ply, faanyag, bármi árkurvulat kb minden országot megbasz, minket meg ahogy mindig, főleg. Ez, hogy jelenleg háromszoros az ár itthon még nem is a legdurvább, persze kibsszott elkeserítő, de csak nem megyünk el odáig mint ahol most pl California van: 2019-ben 11 $ volt a tábla OSB, most 75. Az idei évet engedjük el ilyen téren is…

Hát van baj bőven. Azok jártak jól igazán, akik felkaptak vagy 30-50mill hitelt építkezni és nem fix kamattal, mert az is szivárog felfele szépen. Kíváncsi vagyok, mi lesz a vége.

" DO YOU KNOW ANY ABUSE VICTIM WHO WOULD RATHER SETTLE FOR MONEY - ANY AMOUNT - RATHER THAN THE TRUTH???" I agree with your post as a whole but come on, you know damn well that abuse victims and rape victims are known to take settlements over going to court. That's how rich men handle their sticky situations, the victims' attorneys know damn well how hard it is to convict rich men.

except amber heard had the public opinion and the medias on her side when she dropped the charges. she had already sold her “evidences” to every media outlet out there, she was already planned to become “the face of domestic abuse survivors” and all. she dropped the charges because she didn’t want to go to trial, because she had no real file outside of the fire she set on the internet, and the settlement was more than enough for her.

i do agree a lot of real victims end up dropping charges against their real perpetrators and settling for money because that’s how power works, just like there are abusers dumping their partner (the abused one): as i said, these speculations are both stupid. yet i’ve seen use “but she filed for divorce!” to defend amber and declare “so she’s obviously not the abuser cuz an abuser would never do that!” it’s simple, generalizations as a whole are bad. and reductive and useless, and they certainly are not the basis of any “real proof” over who is guilty and who is not. so yes, it was an extreme example to kinda send this argument back from where it came from: it’s STUPID either way. that’s why i ended my sentence with “(since y’all are basing your judgement on bullshit questions)”.problem is, these 7mill were always presented by amber and amber’s team as a conviction from the court (which is not true) and a victory (which is also not true)! these 7mill are still something people are using to “prove” that the court convicted johnny depp and ruled in favor of amber heard and “that’s why she got the 7 million dollars, and oh, she donated it all, how generous!” these are LIES. yes she donated it - even tho she had no attention to do so before it attracted medias attention - but it was NOT the result of a conviction (if so, it would have been way more than 7mill dollars… johnny depp is currently suing her for 50mill dollars, just saying… just imagine the amount of money she could have gotten from him if he was found guilty of being abusive to her as some people claim he was).
