Title: SAN ANDREAS (2015) Post by: major jay on May 09, 2015, 12:57:32 PM I'm not planning on seeing this in theaters, but the trailers make me think it could be a cheese classic. If anyone goes please chime in with your thoughts. I get the feeling this one may be a winner. :smile:

"I'm supposed to be too mature for disaster movies, but we might make an exception for that one!" Title: Re: SAN ANDREAS (2015) Post by: messedup on May 10, 2015, 06:16:14 AM I could really dig a fun cheesy big budget disaster movie right now and this might be it.

Also- notice you never see this stuff happen where there are no skyscrapers to knock over. A one story hut falling in on itself looks like an inconvenience to the owner. Trump tower goin' down...that get's folks attention. Title: Re: SAN ANDREAS (2015) Post by: Trevor on May 12, 2015, 08:42:47 AM I wonder whose FAULT this film was? :wink:

A strong American economy means a strong American dollar. A strong American dollar means more expensive exports. More expensive exports means we are now running a trade deficit with the rest of the world (i.e. at the moment we are importing more then we are exporting.) One exception to this are American films, and while they will not single handily turn the trade deficit to a trade surplus, they should put a significant dent into it. Looking at the trailers, I saw, including the two mentioned, before I saw "Avengers : Age of Ultron," I actually began to feel sorry for the foreign film competition, as those films advertised, including the two mentioned, are just going to steamroller (IMHO) the foreign competition with a combined international box office gross of over 1 billion dollars (again, IMHO) between now and the end of the year. I'll also be interested in seeing whether . . . Right now the "Avengers" holds the record for the biggest domestic opening weekend at just north of $200 million. Any of those films, for which I saw the trailers before the main feature, including those two mentioned, can top that figure. Anyway . . .?! We shall see what we shall see. |
