MikeRose Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Universal projected Neighbors to open in mid-high 20 millions. Box Office Mojo was more bullish on it, predicting 41 million. Reality decided to make them all look stupid (and Universal will be quite happy about it) by opening at 51 million. As projected by everyone, TASM2 collapsed down a lot to $37 million, and really didn't even put up a fight. Word of mouth killed that movie. I liked it, but I wouldn't recommend it to a non-super hero type friend and that's where the market is, not with the fanboy geeks like myself.

Burgundy LaRue Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I'm not a Godzilla fan per se, but it seems that when he's on the screen, G causes major havoc and looks good doing it. Most critics seem to have issue with the human side of the story, but it doesn't appear to be much of an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antacular Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I'm guessing that's an hour block of the half hour Godzilla cartoon that ran in 1979 and the Globetrotter cartoon at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antacular Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 UP FROM THE DEPTHS, 30 STORIES HIGH~~! Fowler, I've been inept at detecting your sarcasm before, so are you whitewashing '79 or have you never seen this masterpiece of television? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranesi Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Goddammit. I just want to see the pilot where the Globetrotters get shipwrecked on a seemingly deserted island (for let's be honest, the seventh of eighth time) and discover a species of alligator people being controlled by their former equipment manager. After they've been captured and each tied to a different coconut tree dangling over the alligator pit, Sweet Lou manages to shimmy a coconut off the tree and Curly dribble/bounces it off his head creating a wave of vibration that he hopes will free him..but instead awakens Godzilla. The line "That's one crazy green turkey!!!!" is spoken and answered by "That's no Turkey, you Turkey! That's a Kangaroo!" Godzilla rolls his eyes. ...anyway, blah, blah, blah...Godzilla fries the alligators but he's being held prisoner by the equipment manager using a magical idol that allows him to summon Godzilla at will. blah blah blah...Globetrotters steal the idol, passing it back and forth while the remaining alligator people helplessly try to catch it...Godzilla is free...headquarters burned. and in gratitude, Godzilla offers the Globetrotters a ride back home to America on his back. When they get off (at the statue of liberty of course), Meadowlark give the idol to Godzilla, but as he's swimming away, he twirls it on his snout and flip passes it with his tail to Twiggy Sanders who spins it on his finger. Godzilla and the Globetrotters have an unspoken agreement that they will only summon Godzilla when it is really important. Godzilla give a thumbs up and swims away. Curly asks "I could go for lobster...is that really important?" "No" Meadowlark scolds him "Well, it's important...but not Godzilla important." They laugh. We are informed that up next Speed Buggy encounters a race of shark people... you are stoked. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antacular Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I used to think you were original, but I'm pretty sure that's the exact plot to one of the Godzilla episodes, just replace Globetrotters with whatever the crew of the ship that was used.
