Yes.

Jonah Hill (Superbad – the guy on Rampage’s left) looked REALLY uncomfortable when Rampage turned to him during the carjack scene story. Kinda funny.

And, I don’t care what people think: I’m totally in for this film.

Jonah Hill makes a lot of gay related jokes. Smart move on his part keeping his mouth shut this time around.

Stop being likable, Rampage. I want to dislike you for your cockiness and excuses.

by MMAInFeRioRiTy on Jun 18, 2010 11:55 AM EDT reply actions  

If there is one thing you can’t attribute to Rampage, its cockiness. He talks trash, but isn’t an arrogant boastful person as far as I could gather.

by jawz10 on Jun 18, 2010 12:54 PM EDT up reply actions  

Ok, replace cockiness with bullying.

They're still -$60 million on paying for their production budget...

…and that’s not to mention the marketing budget which must be off the charts.

I looked at the budget for the a team movie, and I’m like WTF why and how would you spend 110 mill on an a team movie.

by kanodogg on Jun 18, 2010 12:16 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions  

with international box office, dvd sales, cable rights. if its not a complete bomb hollywood blockbusters always make money

by pandaboy99 on Jun 18, 2010 12:58 PM EDT up reply actions  

A) That was including the international box office,

and since the primary appeal of the movie is the tie-in to an American TV Show, I dunno abou that, and
B) Never say always.

Wait, that doesn’t sound right…

But the old A-team series is huge in large parts of the world. I very much grew up to it in Sweden. A-team and cross-country skiing was what we had on TV during my childhood.

by Sventsh on Jun 18, 2010 3:58 PM EDT up reply actions  

Those were complete bombs vs A-team which was not a complete bomb, so you proved my point

Actually, Waterworld ended up breaking even. Speed 2 was profitable counting overseas.

However, Battlefield and Pluto Nash are two of the biggest flops of all time.

by Bob Loblaw TX on Jun 18, 2010 3:53 PM EDT up reply actions  

They released the movie

at a terrible time. It had to compete with the new karate kid movie when it opened and the week right after is toy story 3. It’s definitely still possible for them to make a profit but it’ll take some time

by av1o3 on Jun 18, 2010 11:29 PM EDT up reply actions  

anyone seen the movie?

It was actually really good. Maybe I’m a crappy critic, but it was action from beginning to end & pretty funny too.

by woodson28 on Jun 18, 2010 12:46 PM EDT via mobile reply actions  

Yeah, but how did it compare to Army of Shadows? That’s the real question people want answered.

Filming movies seems to be much better than getting punched in the face. Who wouldnt do a big hollywood blockbuster?

That fat guy next to Rampage looks really nervous.

Rashad wishes he had that kind of personality!

by PipRocks on Jun 18, 2010 2:08 PM EDT reply actions  

personality is not an effective fighting style

by kanodogg on Jun 18, 2010 2:55 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yeah?

A s—t talking, dog barking, excuse making, bully with a record is something to aspire to.

It’s wolf howling, not dog barking. DMX is dog barking. Racist can’t even tell black people apart.
