Funnily enough, I watched it today at the cinema. Excellent movie even though I find Craig's whole character bizzare. A renowned detective called Benoit Blanc who has a Kentucky accent but says his name with a french accent. Maybe it was supposed to be a joke but nobody laughed. Other than that I can not really find a big flaw.kater23 wrote:I never want anyone to fail but quite honestly I hope Knives Out is the fail of all fails.It just looks like a ripoff of Clue(which-heh! Tim Curry! And(my name is) Michael Caine(a prize for anyone who gets that reference without googling it)

Re: The BJMDDS General Discussion Thread......
I just mean it’s not a particularly anticipated movie with no draw about the story I don’t expect it to make $350 million at the bo & $10 million home video like Murder on the Orient expressKristatos wrote:According to the-numbers.com, it only cost $40 million to make, so I'd be surprised if it didn't turn a profit.Omega wrote:I think knives out wipe probably flop, but then I thought murder on the Orient express wouldn’t get traction either.
What knives out has against it is the director. I doubt anything much will come of it . Nothing Craig has done outside of bond has any real success.

Re: The BJMDDS General Discussion Thread......
I think it should appeal to much the same audience, and the fact that the story is less familiar might be an advantage in a whodunnit. And I'm not convinced that the animosity towards Rian Johnson among hardcore Star Wars fans really transfers across to Mr and Mrs Joe Q Multiplex.Omega wrote:[ I just mean it’s not a particularly anticipated movie with no draw about the story I don’t expect it to make $350 million at the bo & $10 million home video like Murder on the Orient express

Maybe, I just don’t think his name as director means anything to the general public . I don’t think stars drive movies any more either.Kristatos wrote:I think it should appeal to much the same audience, and the fact that the story is less familiar might be an advantage in a whodunnit.

Knives Out sounds similar to the Peter Falk murder mystery spoof Murder by Death.
Re: The BJMDDS General Discussion Thread......
I get the impression that it's a murder mystery with a lot of humour, rather than an outright parody.Capt. Sir Dominic Flandry wrote:Knives Out sounds similar to the Peter Falk murder mystery spoof Murder by Death.

Re: The BJMDDS General Discussion Thread......
Watched the first episode of His Dark Materials(free on Apple TV right now) and liked it much more than the film with Cregg.
First of all, it’s rated TV MA(mature) which means they are going waaay darker than the film did.
Second:James Mcavoy is a much better Asriel.

Re: The BJMDDS General Discussion Thread......
Seriously? I don't know if the Apple TV version is an extended cut, but I'm up to episode three so far on the BBC (episode four tonight at 8pm), and there's been nothing in it so far that would warrant a restrictive rating.kater23 wrote:Watched the first episode of His Dark Materials(free on Apple TV right now) and liked it much more than the film with Cregg.

Re: The BJMDDS General Discussion Thread......
They may cut it for transmission in an 8pm slot, when kids may be watching. What was in the version you saw that would earn it a TV-MA rating?

Re: The BJMDDS General Discussion Thread......
Honestly?Nothing. The only things that come right to mind are the polar bear battle(much later in the story)and the kids being separated from their daemons(also later in the story)and they’re just slapping a general MA rating as a CYA thing?

Re: The BJMDDS General Discussion Thread......
I guess it's a case of "report back after you've seen all the episodes". Certainly, it's being marketed towards a family audience over here.kater23 wrote:Honestly?Nothing.

Re: The BJMDDS General Discussion Thread......
Doing some reading around and am more confused than ever. Just google His Dark Materials and rating, and you’ll see what I mean.

Knives out did well in early market release, from what I hear the director does another bait and switch most of the big names are barely on screen.

Re: The BJMDDS General Discussion Thread......
Showbiz 411 has shared an awkward encounter they had with Craig at a private screening and Q&A of Knives Out. The outlet wrote of shaking hands with the 51-year-old star and seeing if there was any truth to those rumours that Adele would write and sing the No Time To Die theme.
A very coy Craig replied: “Adele? Who’s Adele?
“You’re not getting anything out of me!"------------------USA Today interview: "We’ve got an amazing story and something that's going to be 'surprising' for people."
