JUST AS I THOUGHT BEN AFFLECK'S 'LIVE BY NIGHT' IS CRAP!!


BEN Affleck’s new movie, Live by Night, as I thought bombed at the box office in the US on the weekend just gone.
The movie which is about a group of Boston-bred gangsters who set up shop in balmy Florida during the Prohibition era and face off against the competition and the Ku Klux Klan, earned a shocking $7.2 million in 2,471 theatres.
Live by Night was Affleck’s directorial follow-up to the best-picture winning Argo. Written, directed and starring Affleck unfortunately, it cost $120 million to make, though rebates and tax incentives lowered its budget to roughly $87 million.
But critics said Live by Night [due out in Australia on January 26] was a step backward for Affleck, who spent much of his publicity campaign fending off questions about his plans to direct a stand-alone Batman film for Warner Bros (I hope not). The studio, which declined to comment, estimates Live by Night will make a meer $8.9 million over the four-day weekend.
I've been saying for the last two months that it would be undeniably crap, and by the sounds of it so far I was bang on the money unlike Affleck.

WHAT IT WOULD COST TO POWER THE DEATHSTAR!!

Image
Creating something as powerfully destructive as the Death Star takes one thing above all: a ridonculous amount of money. As if building the iconic weapons wasn't a cash draining enterprise in and of itself, keeping the lights on is a feat that surpasses nailing an exhaust port with a torpedo, while using the Force. Destroying a Death Star is fairly easy, but paying $7.74 OCTILLION just to make it work day by day is extremely difficult. Ovo Energy crunched the numbers, and came to the conclusion that the $7.74 octillion cost for operating the Death Star would be around what's required to feed, quarter and launder all stormtroopers on board. On top of that, the cost factors in the usage/recharging of the Death Star's powerful planet destroying laser canon, as well as jumping into hyperspace - because having that much firepower and that many grunts aboard a craft that can't move or shoot is utterly useless. Seriously that money though I can't begin to fathom ...

#AmazonTvSeries #RobertDeNiro #JulianneMoore - NEW TV SERIES BRILLIANT READ - I said a few a years ago to look out for Big name actors appearing in TV SERIES and boy was I right, I think personally it was ever since the likes of walking dead and game of thrones started back roughly about 6 years ago making huge success and since we have seen famous faces popping up everywhere on our tv screens especially the past couple of years with stuff like stranger things, westworld, and to many more to list and here is another one, Back in August, it was announced that #DavidORussell was looking to develop a TV series starring #JulianneMoore and one of my favourites ever #RobertDeNiro. Now after months of stirring buzz in the marketplace, Deadline reports that the show is headed to Amazon and received a two-season commitment. While details of the series are unknown, it was previously reported that it might be a “crime/cop thriller that may be set in the 1990s.” For now, all we know is that ...

HERE'S MY 15 MOVIES THAT WILL SURELY LEAVE YOUR INSIDES FEELING NUMB!!

Image
Ok now being a man I'm somewhat sceptical of doing this list, but I watch anything and everything and I also have a heart and these films pull at my heartstrings so if your having "one of them days" (Which we all have mind you), Whip out the ice cream and get depressed. So on that note, here is my top 15 gut-renching films for you to cry to. 1) The boy in striped pyjamas The son of a Nazi befriends a Jewish prisoner in a concentration camp and disaster strikes when he finds himself on the wrong side of the fence. Really kills your insides and destroys your soul. You will be sad for days. 2) Kubo and the Two Strings  One of the most beautiful films I have ever seen. From start to finish such a warming/loving story and at the heart of it a young boy who is inspirational. Personally for me I cried several times throughout so this earns it second place. 3) If I Stay  All I'll say is prepare to feel broken and emotionally numb inside. 4) The imp...
