  11. Cars 2

    With a bit of research, it looks like Cars made about 5 billion in merchandise, while Toy Story 3 made around 2.4 billion. So yeah, Cars is definitely the top dog in terms of merchandise, and that would easily make it Pixar's most profitable film. But 2.4 billion is still pretty amazing.

    Oh yeah, I've heard that Cars was very profitable on that front. It may well be their most profitable in terms of merchandise. I just don't believe it's the only film they can "sell the shit out of merchandise" with. Hell, I'm sure all the Pixar films actually did pretty well with the toys and stuff they created for them, even if Cars did the best.

    Put it this way; Cars is their only real franchise film in the sense that they can sell the shit out of merchandise with it. Their other films? Not so much.

    Man, surely Toy Story sells a ton of... well toys. And other stuff. I'm sure there are Toy Story lunch boxes and backpacks that sold well too.

    Shadows of the Damned is really fun so far. It feels like God Hand, Resident Evil 4 and No More Heroes had a three way and created a game that somehow manages to carry good traits from all three. It’s horrifying and gruesome but somehow silly and fun at the same time. And nobody will play it because nobody knows it exists.

    It’s also composed by some guy called Akira Yamaoka. I don’t know if that will mean anything to anyone on this board though…

    So, haven't played FFX-2 for a while, replaying to 100% for... no conceivable reason, really. Forgot how titacular and lesboriffic this game was (she says as she finishes the LeBlanc massage minigame).

    Man, I remember a while back you were saying how much you hated this game. And now you're trying to 100% it? :blink:

    I ended up seeing Thor despite not being all that interested, and ended up having a fun time. This though? I don't think I'll be seeing this.

    I'll see it, but I've had pretty neutral expectations for it all along. I think it will be an enjoyable popcorn movie. I just refuse to believe that Mark Strong has made a bad movie.

    Man, Mark Strong is great and all, but he’s been in some crappy movies. Unless you happen to be a big fan of Babylon A.D.

    I sunk a few hours into Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands last night. I think the general critical consensus was “it’s alright”, aaaaaaaand I pretty much agree with that. From the early stages I wish it was a little looser and a little more inventive with its platforming, but it’s enjoyable enough. The Prince’s narration is awful though.
