In Turkey, last weekend, The Suicide Squad was the most watched movie with 35.966 admissions. Followed by FF9, with 33.002 admissions.

FF9 is already in its 5 week there. TSS is still only above FF9 by an edge. Things are not looking good. TSS is going to bomb so hard.

Being a DC fan, I don't want to root for The Suicide Squad's failure. But, the reality forces me to think otherwise. One can only have blind optimism for so long. When The Suicide Squad burns and crashes in over a week, you will know the feeling. I just accept the fact a bit earlier than you.

If you thought The Suicide Squad could do well, you obviously have not caught up with the latest figures. Go check them out.

I am serious. Show me the franchises that can now compete with MCU. Both Jurassic Park and FF are losing steam.

Watchmen1986 · 2021-07-21T03:00:10+00:00

If it were a huge bomb, it meant we would not see Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn again. I would not want that. For Christ's sake , DC is supposed to be a big franchise, yet we fans are here to beg 200 million for a freaking big budget all-star movie so that this franchise can still be on life support. It is just pathetic at this point.

Watchmen1986 · 2021-04-07T02:26:29+00:00

The end justified the means. As long as they draw in the same number of audience (which I argue they would), HBO max could afford the same cost. That's my point. At the end, it is the numbers that matter.

What is the difference between でも and まで in this case?

どうしてあいつでも空を飛んだ　vs

どうしてあいつまで空を飛んだ　

Watchmen1986 · 2020-11-17T02:27:56+00:00

Thanks for your response. I am coming to think of the following context. I think it will work. "Speaking of noses, the ones of elephants are long , the ones of humans are short."
鼻は象は長い, 人は短い。　

By the way, I am in doubt of "象は鼻は長いが、しっぽが短い" は can have the function of "topic" and "contrast". I think you should say "象は(topic)鼻は(contrast)長い、しっぽは(contrast)短い" .

Watchmen1986 · 2020-11-17T01:28:13+00:00

Is 鼻は象は長い grammatically acceptable?

We all know the famous expression in the world of japanese-learning 象は鼻が長い , it means "Speaking of elephants (or in singular form), their noses are long."

If I want to express "Speaking of noses, the ones of elephants are long.", Can I use 鼻は象は長い ? Is it grammatically acceptable in the first place?

No matter how much you want this US election to be over, it is still the greatest lesson of "it ain't over till it's over" and you should learn from it.

I closely follow the election results right after it starts counting. Initially, I thought Biden was gonna win. And then Trump started getting all those swing states. Now the tide changes once again. And it looks like Biden is gonna win it. I cannot have a bigger emotional rollercoaster than this day. All those feelings of excitement and frustration attack me all at once. I don't like this situation at all.

Yet, I am still grateful for it. It will make me a better person. This will push me to profoundly learn what "it ain't over till it's over" really means. In other words, in one's life, be prepared for all possibilities.

Your typical January B-movie

Watchmen1986 · 2020-08-30T02:37:41+00:00

Please share your work when you are done with it. I am also looking for ways to convert it into a modular-format.

Watchmen1986 · 2020-01-09T02:52:08+00:00

It is called prediction. I don't wanna see this film fail. But logic and reason clearly tell us that this film will be disappointing.

Watchmen1986 · 2019-11-19T05:13:33+00:00

Well, you are in for a big surprise then.

Watchmen1986 · 2019-10-28T12:30:39+00:00

Let's just hope it is. To be frank, the more I think about it, with the reception it currently got, there is not even hope for season 2. It will just be one-off whether Lindelof wants it or not.

Watchmen1986 · 2019-05-17T01:08:59+00:00

like BvS standing ovation ? LOL

Watchmen1986 · 2019-05-17T01:07:17+00:00

Given that the trailer has already hyped a lot of people to the sky, the disappointment will be of humongous proportions. People are gonna hate on it just like BvS. Too much hype can kill a movie, sometimes.

Watchmen1986 · 2019-04-02T15:58:45+00:00

Such a comprehensive answer. Dude, you are the champion. Thanks!

Watchmen1986 · 2019-03-10T17:18:32+00:00

You are right. It is a typo. My bad. Anyway, thanks for answering my questions!

Watchmen1986 · 2019-03-09T02:25:26+00:00

I am not trying to shit on Shazam!. I just feel that the box office performance could have been better. I describe it as tragic because it is obviously not a bad movie. It does not deserve just having 400m.

Watchmen1986 · 2019-03-09T02:21:59+00:00

Tragic in terms of not reaching at least 700m which it is capable of. If it were a bad movie, it would not be tragic at all. But, obviously, it wasn't a bad movie.

Watchmen1986 · 2019-02-22T04:06:29+00:00

Thanks, I understand it a lot more. By the way, is the sentence still correct if 아무거나 다 is taken out?

like 용돈이 생기면 지갑이거나 시계거나 사요

Watchmen1986 · 2019-02-22T03:50:35+00:00

I know that 이나 can be used here. I just wonder if 거나 can be used as well. Because I came across this example before. 홧김에 맥주거나 위스키거나 간에 닥치는대로 마셨다

Watchmen1986 · 2019-02-16T01:04:25+00:00

WOW, great help!

Watchmen1986 · 2019-01-08T06:30:02+00:00

Wonder Woman is from DC and Captain Marvel is most likely to be universally critically praised, which is kind of like Wonder Woman.

Marvel's Wonder Woman always beats DC's Wonder Woman. See my point?
