RT says 65% on Public Enemies, which means I won't be parting with $22 to see it in theaters.

Twenty Two Dollars!?! Where are you seeing films? :eek:

I assume she is referring that she has to foot the bill for her boyfriend as well.

Now, that's funny! The real movie trailer for the 2012 film portrays it as a serious disaster movie, so it naturally lends itself for some major spoofing!

Public Enemies? I read only a couple of reviews, but it seems like a perfunctory biopic and yawner.



On the other hand .... Johnny Depp.



Toss-up.







2012 would indeed be better if played for laughs, but I'm sure that's how it will be taken in any event. Gonna have to plunk down $22 for that, because ePiC DiSASteR on that scale has to be seen on the biggest IMAX 3-D screen available.

I have a TON of AMC Gold passes and no films playing at an AMC I want to see. I can throw one or two at Depp.

I've got to love that an overly serious summer disaster movie starts with a pretty stupid factual error in referring to the Mayans as "mankind's earliest civilization."

It wasn't even the first "great" civilization since the Egyptian pharaohs had been going for about a thousand years by the time the Mayans were starting out.

Stupid to care, but helps establish the expectation bar.

Ok, I'm with you here.

Yeah, I prefer factual accuracy in my movies as well. If they don't want to deal with accuracy, don't make a movie based on things that can be fact-checked.
