Just wondering...

Why haven't we seen any critical reviews yet of either STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS or THE HATEFUL EIGHT?

Could it be that one or both might not be the "artistic" success the filmmakers had hoped to achieve, and they are delaying the review publication dates until the last possible moment?

Certainly both of these movies are "review proof," and both will break box-office records when they do open,though Tarantino's recent anti-police comments could hurt the returns for his film.

If history is any indication, then one can only wonder if these are "flawed" films that are being so over promoted in order to create a "want to see" factor, not that one was necessary in these two instances, that any negative reviews that came out on opening day would be ignored.

Indeed, if the filmmakers were convinced that they had artistic triumphs, wouldn't they have done what producers of movies like CAROL and SPOTLIGHT have done and let the positive reviews out early?

As I said, I'm just wondering...

Sunday afternoon greetings!  I had every intention of going to Lima with Fr. Richard today, but woke up a little after 1am and heard the kitchen clock strike 2, 3, AND 4.  There was no way I was going to get up at 5:30 to travel 100 miles each way to be charming.

I've spent a couple of hours listening to THE GOLDEN APPLE and following the full score, which I've approved and is ready to go. That final duet, which Roger Stevens who produced the 1954 Broadway transfer, forced them to cut or he wouldn't move the production, is really glorious. I can see why Moross put it back into the show in the late 1970s.

I do wonder, though, why he didn't restore the complete original final scene as well.

And the gist of posts by DR John G. and DR Jrand65:  Winter Was Warm.

And of course, the parody:

Tune of “Stormy Weather”

Don’t know why
They’re all dissing on the sky
Warming weather,
Noxious waste and us live together
It warms me all the time

Such a scare 
When they harp on their despair
Warming weather,
Seems like they all get together
Complaining all the time

They sing of troubled seas, and have no patience for me
They say “Don’t warm me please,” I say “please don’t bore me”
They would rather freeze, their tone says they’ll ignore me
Deplore it even more

I’ll go on 
Talking heads speak mostly con -
Warming weather,
Can’t we all just feel warm together
Warm feelings all the time

Just wear linen and not leather,
Warm feelings all the time

That's great, Fred! ;D

I think I had read that Star Wars (at least) was not going have advance screenings for reviewers to lessen the chance for leaks.

I'm up, I'm up - man, I really must have needed to sleep - eleven hours of it and I only woke up once at nine-thirty and then fell back asleep instantly.  Interesting dreams.
