KA took in 1.5 mil bring its total up to 45 mil this weekend

 

[Rumpy Bulge Dubz]

not bad, I'm proud of how well its done considering the piss poor marketing/promoting.

 

[LegendaryCaleb]

heck yes im proud too
im hopin the sequel gets the marketing it deserves so it could possibly perform better at the BO

 

[Drz]

Yeah really hoping for the sequel myself. I'd love to see Vaughn do a story where super villains start trying to wreak havoc, infact i'd prefer to see Vaughn do it. He'd prolly do it in a more optimistic silly over the top way compared to Mark Millar's grim dark over the top way. Ah well both will be cool i bet.

 

[Reek]

anyone ever find out what song is playing when

Spoiler

kick-ass and hitgirl fly off with the jetpack at the end

 

[VenomVsSpidey]

john murphy said on his fanpage that was called "flying" also composed by henry jackman

 

[LegendaryCaleb]

so...are we not gettin a score cd? or what?
cause i want it pretty bad...

 

[dark_b]

i like the movie very much.

the scene that threw me out of the movie was over teh top acting of Cage when he was burning.

i think no matter what kind of tone you have in the movie when something really serious is happening dont make it funny. if you take it serious then the dramatic scene will have an impact on teh viewer. i think they failed there.

everything else right now feels right and good.

 

[Rumpy Bulge Dubz]

^that was one of the best parts of the movie, if Cage hadn't delivered those lines the way he did it would have been worse. Cage and Chloe MADE that scene what it was


SWITCH TO....ROBINS...REEVVEEENNGGEEEEEEEEE

 

[dark_b]

I'll agree that at the end of the day the most important thing is the actual quality of the film. Transformers 2 was awful and it was the second biggest movie of 2009.

I like talking about boxoffice numbers though and I won't apologize for that. Regarding that EW article, when ever a movie does disappointing numbers to the person that liked the film they always rant about how boxoffice doesn't matter. Say the same thing about flicks like The Dark Knight when they do alot and I'll be in your corner and not call you a hypocrite.

thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaank you.

thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaank you.

finally

 

[dark_b]

one question.

did the main character and girl had sex when they were outside of the comicbook shop?

 

[Spider-Man '92]

I get the impression that they did, given the actions they were making.

 

[VenomVsSpidey]

so...are we not gettin a score cd? or what?
cause i want it pretty bad...

well, now murphy said that it's still happening...he's waiting to get the master tapes himself too

 

[dark_b]

I get the impression that they did, given the actions they were making.

even for a R movie i was suprised to see *********ion in the beginning and a sex scene with two teenagers next to trash.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Yea he was giving her a right seeing to... the lucky bastard.

 

[dark_b]

one new complaint that i forgot. i didnt like how they mentioned the show Lost.

i dont have a problem with myspace,youtube,DMC for promotion. but Lost will not work in the next years.

 

[Mr. Earle]

I loved Kick Ass. Its one of my favourite comic book movies.

i think you are way wrong on that one. 'Lost' will be remembered just as long as 'Kick-Ass' will be, if not having more chance at cultural immortality. and it is *the* show that people want answers for, even people who stop watching the show often cite the fact they were impatient for answers, it was the perfect show to make that kind of gag about.

i think the Lost joke 3 weeks before the finale wont work not that peolpe wont remeber Lost in general.

either way, you missed the point of the joke, who cares if the lost finale is just around the corner, what has that got to do with anything, lol, the movie obviously takes place sometime before lost is finished, the joke will never get old. and what's with the grey face? jeeziz, i would see a bar of soap about that situation, once you get that grey off, then brush your teeth, and you will upgrade to this guy..
then, maybe, you will loosen up and appreciate the joke without thinking about it too much.

I think the best purpose of the Lost joke is that it really identifies the film as being a period picture. It is a movie that showcases the here and they now, and doesn't necessarily take into mind how people will view it 30 years down the road. Take something like Space Jam for example, the only people who will really appreciate that movie are those who lived in that time, or rather, know what happened in that time.

I thought it was more to do with making it feel more real world by bringing up the mundane pleasures that *are* very important to geek types like Dave, and would flash through his mind as one of the things he'd miss most if he died.
The 'period piece'element is a cool side-effect of that I think, we can all look back years later and say, 'yeah, remember how much we were into lost back then until we found out in the last episode it was just a polar bear/human hybrid's hallucination he had on a mushroom trip while taking a shower, and even then, that was just a dream another polar bear was having when it fell asleep in the bath, which was in turn just some guy who had eaten too many fox's glacier mints and couldn't get to sleep without thinking about polar bears while having an rem freak out wide awake sleep deprived alien abductee like, frozen yogurt frozen limbs frozen limbs, can't sleep ate too many mints will the polar bears please go away i can't sleep...hallucination, that happened one night? yeah, that wasn't funny at all, why did we continue to the end of that?'

 

[Spider-Man '92]

Yeah, I get what you mean by the real-world aspect, I'm just saying from the outside aspect.
