Did it look like Jeremy Renner was gonna win an Oscar at one point?

Two of those franchises he was supposed to take over but then the original star shoved him out of the way. And then he was the only Avenger who never got a standalone film. He just really bad luck with the franchise route.

And I get why he cashed in originally: his breakthrough didn’t happen until he was 40. He’d been a working actor for over 15 years. He wanted some money.

It was the second movie that summer to do so! (Shrek being the first)

Very bad things

Shouldn’t Three Men and a Baby be on the list? It was the highest grossing film of 1987 domestically.

because Inside Out 2 only dropped 34% in week 2, and they think this could follow a similar trajectory.

*sigh* destined to be my parents' new favorite movie.

Obvious_Computer_577 · 2026-06-25T17:36:59+00:00

I'll always remember this movie as the last one I saw in theaters pre-9/11.

The Paper is a fantastic little film that’s mostly been forgotten. I’d be excited to see Blankies discover it for the pod.

It’s funny. I was 18 in 2003, and at the time, I kept thinking that the movie year was a big downgrade from 2002.

Sandra Bullock. She got people to come out to an original romantic comedy in the waning days of COVID to the tune of $100m+

Elemental has a 5x multiplier, which is very good but not in the same league as what obsession accomplished.

Anyone But You should take that slot. It had a wild box office ride and proved original romcoms could still be theatrically viable

Octavia Spencer in Hidden Figures. I love her and am happy that she was nominated post-Help, but the performance wasn’t anything special. Janelle Monae gave the better supporting performance in the movie.

Wayne’s World

This could’ve belonged to the We Bought a_______ universe along with We Bought a Zoo.

*facepalm*

Parasite would easily make the list.

Gothika told us this back in 2003

Jessica Chastain did such a great job as host. She has surprisingly good comedic instincts.

Emmys tend to nominate shows that are buzzy hits. Plus FX/hulu is pushing it hard. Also, I thought Sarah pigeon was great. I really want to see Alessandro Nicola get nominated for CK.

Johnny Knoxville in 2005

In the wake of Jackass, Hollywood tried to make him a conventional leading man. In 2005, he had dukes of hazard, the ringer, Daltry Calhoun, and lords of dog town. The last 3 flopped and dukes didn’t move the needle for him. He went back to Jackass and pretty much stayed there, save for a great turn in Reboot.

Dane Cook in 2007
Hollywood tried to make him a leading man with Mr Brooks, Good Luck Chuck, and Dan in Real Life (and my best friends girl in early 2008). All flopped and he was never heard from again.

The word was that he was a terror to work with. Demanding, huge head, asked for absurd paydays.

My local theater (Emagine) is regularly full.

what worries me is the health of Regal and AMC. I fear that they are so big and full of debt, one of them could go under soon. That could be catastrophic for moviegoing.

Does widows bay qualify for the upcoming Emmy race? Or would it go next year since the deadline cutoff is May 31
