saw transformers last night on Imax. The first one I think had a stronger story, but this one definitely had better scenes with the big robots, and Optimus Prime kick some ass.
Definitely some slow scenes though.
My girlfriend really liked it, and mentioned how there was a love story for the girls that watched it.

@Iron Knight
I have heard that ticket sales for HP are outselling TROTF before it came out officially, so your wish may get granted. So far, HP is at %97 on rottentomatoes. Black Dynamite also comes out this week; if I get one of those free passes when I go see HP, it may be a double-header for me.

Bruno has an internal multiplier of 2.1 so that bodes for a final box office tally of 60-65 million (and that’s being generous) so it will collapse next weekend and probably be down 60-70%. This will definitley NOT have a bigger second weekend than Borat…ALthough Borat did expand significantly in it’s second weekend.

My wife and I are going to see TROTF tonight…See what all the hullaballoo is about…

Harry Potter WILL OWN next weekend. I predict a gross between 120-130. Having already seen the film I hope it tops Transformers because it’s really a much better and funnier film

I just knew TROTF would make this type of money, even though it’s not all that great. I’ve talked to many people about the first movie and the idiotic humor and lack of plot just isn’t enough to shy them away from the stellar effects and action. Expect more of the same, unfortunately.

I did think Borat was funny but too gross to buy. The trailers for Bruno just turned me off; there’s no way I can see myself spending any money on this.

Hopefully the bruno will crash this next weekend. As a mature film attendee, those types of “films” do not interest me one bit. Glad HP is finally here this coming week!

@Ken J, you’re talking about Bullock? Haha, yeah I get the same way. Especially after Demolition Man I just see her as a clutz. I know she is smart and has strong opinions but I cannot help it as well.
Is she still hooked up to Jesse James?

There’s a heart of gold in there somewhere. Oh wait, that’s still metal!

Every time I see you avatar, Ken, I think, ‘Tin man, needs a heart.” (Just joking.)

Ah yes, I know, I’m weird, for some reason a person’s personality actually affects how I actually see them. I know she’s attractive, but everytime I see her face, the first thing that pops into my head is “dumb airhead” not how she looks… Can’t help it…

That never bothers me…lol.

You know, I’ve always seen her as an airhead, and because of that can’t really find her attractive. Not saying she is, probably just how some of the characters she has played have portrayed her, but once that image is in my mind, it’s hard to ignore it, lol.

It’s interesting that in the UK Cohen tried switching from Ali G to Bruno and Borat and no one liked them. Somehow he found someone to give him the movies to make.
Now he’s done all three, he might have to try something new.

The Statham thing sounds cool, especially with Considine. One of best actors in Britain if you ask me (not that anyone did).

Bruno was hilarious in my opinion… I’m so going to buy the blu-ray for the extras. Hopefully TF2 makes alot more money as well…

I don’t wanna see “Bruno” simply b/c I think Cohen is overrated and not funny at all….even “Borat” was funny to me.
