Pulp Fiction released that month but not until the middle of October. If it had been out more than two weeks, it probably would have crushed them both. Edit: Plus Pulp Fiction was on a surprisingly low number of screens: only 1494. By comparison, the Specialist was on 2522 and The River Wild was on 2153. FWIW, I projected all of them. That meme could really be expanded to be even more impressive. Also on screen that month were Natural Born Killers, Quiz Show, True Lies, Ed Wood, and Stargate. We'll just pretend this didn't exist:

March 23, 20241 yr Can’t possibly happen. Can it? https://www.ign.com/articles/happy-gilmore-2-teed-up-with-adam-sandler-shooter-mcgavins-actor-says
March 25, 20241 yr Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire was meh. Kind of a mess. Tried to do too much, too many things made no sense. The "frozen" NY portion is very brief, there is no empire it's like 10 minutes of screen time.
April 2, 20241 yr American Fiction, terrific satire that manages to stay light and tender. Roadhouse, goofy oddball action flick but somehow its engaging and unique. Watched them back to back, they made a really good tandem double feature.
April 8, 20241 yr Zone of Interest, a masterpiece, and finally I can say I definitely saw THE movie from 2023 Oscar's pack that deserved to win. A horror movie, with monsters, visually and sonically akin to There Will be Blood. my final rankings of the group: Zone of Interest Barbie Poor Things/Book of Clarence (tie) American Fiction Oppenheimer Napoleon Flower Moon Anatomy of a Fall
April 9, 20241 yr Author Saw an IMAX preview of Civil War tonight. Very unique compared to any other films I can think of, and used score and tension very well to set or shape the mood. Our guy meth Damon continues to knock out of the park as well.

Not really sure how I feel about it. I wish I could stop thinking about it. I mean, I see the brilliance in it but it’s definitely not something I feel great about. That’s probably the point. It’s obviously not a monster movie in the traditional sense but it’s not unreasonable to call it a monster movie anyway.

April 25, 20241 yr Author I booted up Draft Day as a background watch while working. This movie is absurd in all the best ways!
May 8, 20241 yr Civil War is a hands down good movie. Garland again proves he's a master at blending mysterious fog of war points of view with stylish cinema and efficient prose. There is some clear statements about why America is on the brink (fascism, nativism) but Garland deftly avoids outright controversy and ephemeral talking points. Instead he uses the setting to make a provocative movie about war correspondence and the sacredness of unbiased media.

The soundtrack is killer, no joke and Jesse Plemons might have had his best performance ever. The White House scene is something you dont want to miss dude.
