Octopus Overlords

Well, an Egypt that must be located in a Scandinavian country.

That issue aside, it sure does have a lot of CGI.

Everyone knows that the ancient Egyptians build the Pyramids in Egypt because that's where they stayed for the winter - rest of the year they lived around Stockholm. But obviously you don't want to bring a winter's worth of grain with you on the winter trip.

It's just common sense, really. Kind of embarrassing that I have to spell it out for you.

You've just now made me realize that an ancient Viking Egyptian would be the coolest damn thing to ever walk this Earth. Well, other than a Tyrannosaurus Rex with cybernetic implants and a laser eye. But that one is just out of reach of current technology.

p.s. I still predict Gods of Egypt will be more entertaining and historically correct than Exodus: Gods and Kings.

That's amazing!

The Crow was fun.

That's all I got.

Based on the trailer, I expect this movie to suck. Really really bad. And not because of the lack of racial diversity. It just looks bad.

I'll likely steam it sometime while I'm exercising. But I don't think I'll go out of my way.

With or without drawn butter?

Dammit.

Er... with?

Saw this yesterday and the trailer looks awful. This movie is going to bomb hard.

Yonda lies da totally Greek temple of my fadah.

Well, Clash of the Titans (remake) made $493M worldwide and Wrath took home $305M. Both did most of the business overseas. If they keep it fun and don't go wild with the budget, it could do ok. We might not be the target audience.

"Sorry for all the whiteys."

Diversity? The problem wasn't diversity.

Officially bombed?

Production Budget: $140 million
Worldwide: $40,382,577

I know it's only been a week, but still not a good start.

My wife loves stuff about Egypt, and she has no regard for bad CGI. When this trailer came on, I saw her eyes just light up and I turned to her and said "NO. JUST NO."

I know I'm really a terrible person, but I like to think I'm protecting her from herself.

There goes my respect for foreigners.

I actually enjoyed the movie. I think Ive watched it twice now.
