I'm not sure why anyone would come into a movie thread after it's released just to say they won't see it. Like...okay? Personally I just don't post in threads about movies I have no intention of seeing.

Drop Dead Gorgeous was a great film. Also very heavy on improv. Hmm... I'm seeing a connection here.

Le sigh.
I'm not defending very attractive people, I am saying that there are greater indicators of privilege than who gets some random free shit. If you're holding a grudge against attractive people because they get some free stuff from time to time, then you're not paying attention to the socioeconomic forces that are active in our world today, to the benefit of people who have real privilege.

Some warning would have been nice.

The difference being that I'm not personally attacking someone for their choice to not see a movie. I'm also not calling anyone that has the opinion that a movie looks bad, a misogynistic, woman hating, sexist pig.

Some people on the internet in general definitely deserve the label. But I've said from day one that if you don't want to see a movie, that's totally fine. However, there are people who have said that sexism has no affect on the reception of this movie and that's simply ridiculous.

Gotta love a thread were "males" look at a Woman being horribly attacked on social media and instead of condemning the attacks...decide in their arrogance/ insensitivity/assholery to focus on her response instead of the fuckin' fact that she's being unfairly mass attacked.
These are the kind of shitty "males" that hear about a woman being slapped by a dude and all they can do is wonder what color lipstick she had on.

Any man who's running around screaming about how Melissa McCarthy is coming to cut off his dick because of one little movie is making men look like wimps who can't put up with even a tenth of what women and minorities go through every single day. Any man who's worth his balls can look at the movie, laugh and say, "Yup, we had that coming."
Edit: Actually, it would be embarrassing for any franchise in any medium, so I take back the "kid's" part.

I saw the movie last night with my wife and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Lots of laugh out loud moments.

You might have misunderstood my usage of the word "anyone". Some people deserve the label. But there was never a blanket statement that anyone who didn't want to see this was sexist.

So I misunderstood your usage of the word "anyone" to actually mean "anyone"? My mistake.

Looking to be down about 50% this weekend. About average. It will be at just under $90m after this weekend.

Yes, I was, and no, I won't. If my presence vexes you that much, then my sticking around is worth more than all the insults I could hurl at you. kthxbye!

Not really, Friday drops are always larger, since box office is usually so front loaded and Fridays include Thursdsy previews. For instance, Avengers 2 and Iron Man 3 both dropped 75% Friday to Friday.
