[QUOTE=Goodwell;41820775]Still one of my favorite bits. Alan's pretty hilarious. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VokAbAfTfCc[/media][/QUOTE] I must admit I also quite enjoy this. [editline]13th August 2013[/editline] [IMG]http://facepunch.com/image.php?u=423268&dateline=1371387874[/IMG]

[QUOTE=zombojoe;41821036]Can't go wrong with Matt Damon.[/QUOTE] I think you'll find you can. Bastard ruined saving private Ryan for me. Think of all the shit Tom Hanks goes through, only to find out it's Matt Damon he's come to save. Just look at that face. [IMG]http://i40.tinypic.com/3534aiq.jpg[/IMG]

[QUOTE=VietRooster2;41818234]I'm pretty sure why Pacific Rim didn't do so well in the US is since everyone thought it was a rip-off of Bay's Transformers, or just the same damn thing as Battleship. But they were so wrong, Pacific Rim is easily one of the best movies I've seen in a very long time.[/QUOTE] I don't know why, but I have heard a lot of positive (and some okay) American reviews of Pacific Rim, but around here (Denmark) it recieved really bad reviews. Some of my friends went to see it despite the reviews, and they thought it was downright bad with lots of stereotypes, cliches and overall poor acting. I don't know if it's true, as I haven't seen it myself, but I think it's a thing people can't let go here. People who care about movies apparently don't want to see just robots fighting if everything else is done sloppily.
Eh, opening weekend figures don't really influence the lifetime figures of a film. While people may have been making fun of Pacific rim for not outdoing Grown Ups 2 in their opening weekends or whatever, Pacific Rim has so far earned well over twice what Grown Ups 2 has at the Box office, which, for an original IP is pretty damn good.
