Year-End Box-Office Drawn-Out

... FIGHT TO THE FINISH ... 
(of 2018) 
!!! 

THE TWO MARIES... 
cancel each other out, 
really! 
_______________________________________


There's always 
''Three Marys'' 
though... 
________________________________________

But then there is 
that buzz floating around - 
BUMBLEBEE 





--- silly Tinseltown, though; 
haven't they heard that 
CARS POLLUTE, 
ROBOTS ARE EVIL and 
BEES ARE DEAD.

And we will die with them.  


But that's another story. 

Onwards with the MOVIES: 
what about those 
MORTAL ENGINES... eh 




... well ... 
That one was dead in the water 
right out of the gate as well! 

But speaking of water...











How is THAT for a perceived to be 
perennial "fifth wheel" --- EH! 
none of the above competitors 
(Mary Queen of Scots, 
Mary Poppins Returns, 
Mortal Engines, 
Bumblebee) 
and none of the other 2018 rivals 
for both cash and great honors 
(Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War, 
Welcome To Marwen, 
that atrocious Venom 
or anybody else you would care 
to make a mention of here...!) 
can touch this film: 
AQUAMAN 
is, without a doubt, 
head and shoulders above 
ALL of those productions 
AND ALL SUPER-HEROES EVER 
PUT TO FILM --- 
for the sheer splendor of its 
ATLANTIS! 
And the directorial prowess of 
James Wan! 
And its incomparable cast 
which includes so many notables 
surrounding Amber Heard's Mera 
and Jason Momoa's Aquaman: 
Nicole Kidman, Willem Dafoe, 
Dolph Lundgren, Patrick Wilson, 
Temuera Morrison, Otis Dhanji, 
Djimon Hounsou, Graham McTavish, 
Sophia Forrest, Natalia Safran, 
Randall Park, Michael Beach, Ludi Lin, 
John Rhys-Davies, 
Yahya Abdul-Mateen II 
and Julie Andrews...!!!



AND WAIT UNTIL 
DVD AND DIGITAL SALES 
START COMING IN, TOO...!!! 

You may snub it for Oscar contention, 
Academy STIFFS - 
but you better not be giving it 
to a Marvel instead 
solely based upon sheer 
box-office tally 
or alleged 
"social significance" 
either! 



 AQUAMAN 
has changed 
super-hero movies 
and the industry 
FOREVERMORE - 
not anybody else! 



Isn't it too bad 
STAN LEE 
isn't alive to see it 
happening either... 
hmm?

And I would be remiss if I did not take this opportunity to once again... bash journalism mercilessly - while championing the blogging cause (just a tad) somewhat merrily!

Look at what this so-called journalist, moronic New Yorker without a clue, alleged film reviewer who is actually financially compensated by that RAG called the New York Times actually wrote about this film...

“Aquaman” is so much like parts of “Thor” and “Black Panther” and “Avatar” and so reliant upon an ancient British legend that you don’t know why the people who made this movie bothered.

Wesley Morris

The NYTimes

Well, MORON... I mean, MORRIS...

They bothered because this was LONG OVERDUE.

They bothered because this should have COME FIRST... ACTUALLY!

They bothered because this is about ATLANTIS - not Arthurian myth, as you infer... idiot!
Arthurian influences permeate its mythos, sure - but then Thor pilfered unabashedly Norse mythology and I didn't see any complaints there...!

(Then again, it is true, I never bothered to READ YOU...!!!)

And you dare to mention those two in there - Thor and BLACK PANTHER - just like any other pea-brained schoolboy nincompoop of a Marvel ZOMBIE that limped off the pike...!!!

Did they have FABLED ATLANTIS... mermaids... THE VITAL OCEANS... a fabulous redhead and a fabulous Nicole Kidman in those... HUH?

DID THEY HAVE JAMES WAN???

MORRIS...
You are an incomparable idiot.

And a perfect example why people should do away with traditional news feeds such as the "NYTimes" ALTOGETHER...!!!

You are not reliable for mere film reviews

How in blue blazes could you be deemed reliable for more important information regarding what is really going on in the world...?

YOU FILTER THE IMPORTANT NEWS AND PASS ON TO THE MASSES ONLY WHAT THE ESTABLISHMENT WANTS THEM TO BE INDOCTRINATED WITH...

Just like your tainted so-called review is biased to the max and vilified with an obvious EVIL RAT PAYOUT...!!!

You know who the evil rat is....
COME ON...!!!

Blogs... are above that!

Bloggers and vloggers alike - say it like it is!

And there are no fake news here!

;-)

And so, when supposedly unbiased journalism is not to be relied upon for a fair (and actually cultured, informed, astute) assessment of whatever it is that they are reviewing...

Can we be surprised that the damnable AMPAS is so very politicized... manipulable... corrupt, in fact?
