    I love Charting with Dan (and usually Roth, but sometimes Lon).
    The supposed controversy of First Man and its flag planting, as well as one moment where you referred to the weekend's numbers as "American Box Office" reminds me of a point that always interests me.
    Canadian Box office numbers are always buried inside the "Domestic" numbers. It seems odd, but its quite hard to find separated numbers for an entire Country, let alone its regions. We have a different currency, a large Francophone community and we have some different cultural sensibilities. All of which could change the outcome of various box office results. Add to that, the fact that some movies don't have the same distribution up here as they do in America (mostly an issue with Streaming, to be honest, but I know that Goon released here months before its little run in the US).
    For example, when discussing First Man with some friends, none of them brought up the flag issue. We are aware of it, because a lot of our news sources are American, but we just couldn't care less about that particular prop. On the other hand, a lot of conversation centered on Ryan Gosling, since he is one of the many attractive Ryan's we've supplied to Hollywood.
    Perhaps, on a future week, when there isn't an obvious topic to cover, it would be fun to dig in to the region specific numbers. It might be hard to obtain, but I can imagine that places like Utah could have vastly different turn outs for certain movies than New York or Florida. Likewise, I'd love to see a break down of how movies by Denis Villeneuve (I love listening to you guys try to say French names, its hilarious) perform in Quebec, as opposed to elsewhere.
    Just some thoughts. Keep making the show, its one of my favorites.

    • @MrWhiteVzla
      @MrWhiteVzla 6 років тому +1

      Americans are still fighting among themselves over the players kneeling in the NFL, the "outrage" around the American flag not being planted doesn't surprise me. It's the era of American nationalism, so anything that doesn't over celebrate America is an insult to the country.
      Personally, First Man was a miss for me. As a huge fan of the Apollo program, I found the movie lacked the engineering aspect of the space race. Moreover, Armstrong was an engineer first and foremost, something the movie failed to portrait at all accounts. It also showed Armstrongs as far more isolated that what he was according to written and voice-recorded records, which disappointed me. The guy had a very dry Scottish humour that not everyone understood at times. And, of course, the Apollo 1 fire was nothing short of a joke in the way it was portrait in the movie.
      At the end, I know they tried to romanticize him as well as the space race, because that's the Hollywood thing to do. But, I think they missed a fantastic chance to shed some light on a very complex individual that overcame a lot while becoming responsible for uttering the most famous words in modern history.

If so... Is this something we consider okay? Is it just part of global economy and we endure it? Or is it something that should change? Or does it even hurt anyone?

They also show the entire world rejoicing at the accomplishment of America and let it be known that 400 million people all over the world watched live. What I really didn't like was the Cinematography. The shaky shoulder mounted cam and the weird close ups on the side of actor's faces so you can see stubble growing on top of their stubble. The weird jump zooms and unnecessary movement of the camera took me out of the movie.

      Err, but literally the point of reviews (I'm distinguishing it from criticism here) is to give you an independent source of information on if you should go to a movie?
      I went to Venom sort of on the recommendation of Dan and Roth and didn't like it much (mostly found it boring). I found that pretty surprising, as I've generally enjoyed both their recommendations before. But whatever, there wasn't much out and wanted to try the new theatre that just got finished here, so no biggie.

    Just got back from seeing First Man with the rest of my non-American family. Unlike myself, they rarely go to the cinema so I think it's unfair to say there'd be little interest in this story outside the US. Hidden Figures was also very popular here. We all thoroughly enjoyed the film but we had one issue, the cinematography. The overuse of shaky-cam & the poor contrast which made many shots appear as a blank screen left a bad taste in our mouths & caused a little motion sickness in some. In a film aimed at an older audience these will be deal breakers for many & will be the focus of the word of mouth reaction. It's sad that a film so powerful & authentic will likely fall flat as a result.
    I hope the flag controversy doesn't impact the film. I wasn't aware of it until you mentioned it & as a foreigner I can assure concerned Americans the film is plenty triumphal enough without a self congratulatory slow-mo flag planting

    It's not surprising that First Man is not a huge box office draw. It may be produced by Spielberg, but it's more of a character piece than the crowd pleases he specialized in. There's little awe or wonder because we're almost always in the astronauts shoes, cramped in little capsules........

  • @TepidShark

    The Star is Born backlash has already arrived. That said I did hear a very good argument that the gender politics of it are kind of messed up. Basically they said that Jackson is emotionally manipulating her and without saying what happens (though it's the same as the other versions) the ending sends an awkward message about where Ally is left.
    For me, I thought Star is Born was ok but there probably will another movie down the road that I think will be more deserving of the big awards like Best Picture.

  • @kelpklepto

    Though I liked First Man, I can see why it didn't draw much interest or get more than a B+ Cinemascore. It doesn't offer much beyond the nuanced performances and the space sequences (which are amazing, especially the moon landing sequence). I saw a group of people next to me all get up and leave halfway through the movie, obviously bored.

    Ok so I watched Bad Royale this weekend and I’m sorry guys I didn’t think much of it at all.
    The first 30-1hr mark I was quite enjoying the dialogue and they way it was moving forward it then fell and it was overdone with the acting and the scenes felt very drawn out.
    I didn’t enjoy Chris Hemsworth in this film, i was sitting in the theatre with my partner and we were looking at each other like can this end already.
    Also Cynthia Envo singing was done too much too.
    I watched first man the day before and it felt like I watched something very great.

    The original Halloween is indeed a classic. However, there is some very bad acting in that film. Especially from the other two babysitters to the point where I still can't decide which one was worse. The girl who says "Totally" a lot or the other one who does a lot of over the top whining. That being said. Donald Plesasence and Jamie Lee Curtis are great. And that final showdown with her and Michale is a real nail biter even to this day.

    This doesn’t surprise me. At all. People always complain that “there’s nothing original anymore” but yet almost every time there IS something original, nobody goes and sees it. Instead, everyone goes and sees the sequel, prequel, remake and/or reboot. And this time is just more proof. I mean, granted Venom looks pretty good and I am planning to see it, and I’m sure the A Star is Born Remake is actually great, but this just proves me right AGAIN that the sequel, prequel, remake and/or reboot just about always does better than the original film. And yet people ALWAYS get so pissy that there’s “nothing original anymore”. Such hypocritical dumbasses.

    When I called my parents and mentioned that they should go see First Man this weekend, my mom responded "God no! They disrespected the flag, that pisses me off!" So, yeah, I'd say the right-wing spin machine took a huge chunk out of that film's potential earnings, which is depressing as hell considering that the entire narrative about the flag is essentially a lie (it's very prominently shown on the moon).
    Also, just want to jump in before the ASIB backlash bandwagon Roth predicted *really* kicks in, so *SPOILERS*: I think ASIB is a very pretty movie with great performances and a killer soundtrack, but it also has really bad pacing issues and a downright troublesome depiction of suicide. I 100% expect ASIB to receive the La La Land backlash in the long wait until Oscar season, during which a lot of great movies will come out to divert attention and there will be plenty of time for Gaga or (more likely) Cooper to get in some media trouble that the Academy will want to avoid.

      I liked the acting was great in ASIB and I liked the songs. In particular The Shallows, but I didn't care for the storyline. And speaking of Beautiful Boy I thought that did a better job of humanizing an addict than ASIB did. I loved First Man though. One of the best films I have seen this year.

      A Star is Born is new country melancholy. You’re sad, you’re drunk, you’re dead. At least the dog didn’t die too. The music is the best part and the music is just good for a movie. Listing to anything except The Shallows on that album is cringe. Imagine if Adele or Beyonce were singing those songs. I love Gaga but she is not an amazing vocalist; she’s a provocative artist. Cooper is neither. I wish Gaga would go back to wearing meat dresses.
