  1. This is going to be just as shrugged off as the Whitney movie was. Definitely way too soon and there's no nostalgia given what a bummer her life was, it's not like you can't find images or footage of the actual Amy in her darker days with a quick Google search.
  2. To be fair, these movies definitely lack the obnoxious attempts at humor that made those flicks impossible to endure at times (and are automatically better because of it).
  3. I think Godzilla Minus One proved it is possible to make a Godzilla/King Kong movie in which the humans can add to the experience, instead of subtract (which has been the main criticism this entire time of the Hollywood produced movies, despite - or perhaps because - they've been attracting rather overqualified actors for the material). Who knows, maybe they've just been hiring folks who just don't have a movie of that level of quality in them, I dunno, that's for someone else to argue over.
  4. Hunter Schafer is quickly becoming a genre queen. The fact Euphoria is likely never returning at this point after too many off-camera setbacks doesn't seem like it's negatively impacting (and is perhaps serving as a plus to) the careers of the stars.
  5. Didn't the final Michael Bay Transformers movie drop its embargo right as the movie was starting on the East Coast?
  6. This is timed specifically to promote this movie so it looks like that was a false rumor. I would've guessed that if this had gone without any press tour it would've been so that Barrera and Radio Silence wouldn't be fed a series questions about a franchise they're no longer involved with (for now?).
  7. Given that the studios behind the original movies (WB and Lionsgate, respectively) had no problem letting them go and how long it's already been since those movies came out (8 years and 6 years), it seems pretty obvious streaming was the only way The Accountant 2 and A Simple Favor 2 were ever getting made when the diminishing returns were written all over the wall.
  8. GLAAD gonna have a tough time choosing Movie of 2024 between Godzilla x Kong and that Paul Mescal/Josh O'Connor movie that'll probably break the Internet. Call Me by Your What? Carol Who?
  9. Nice! Dig that we're getting all these re-releases at the same time.
  10. Let's be real: "woke/wokeness" has become the go-to term for the fear-peddlers to prey upon the gullible with, since the word "woke" can mean a lot of different things as opposed to the real words they actually want to use that carry a loaded history and would result in their self-inflicted cancellation (and the self-pity that tends to entail instead of learning a lesson and trying to become a better person). But one way to look at it is that Peltz's freedom of speech means we also have the freedom to mock and laugh at him along with others of his ilk, both for the nonsense that comes out of their mouths and when they cry wolf over being made fun of (something that often happens with conservative pundits whenever they're spoofed on SNL and in other media over the ridiculousness that comes out of their mouths, more secure individuals simply wouldn't even acknowledge the parodies).
  11. We all predicted Leo's power alone would carry Killers of the Flower Moon to an easy $100M+ total last year and look how that turned out heh. I would definitely err on the side of caution of having vastly overinflated box office expectations for a filmmaker who has always had a much more limited amount of financial success over a decade-spanning career.
  12. tbh Aladdin 2 was likely the biggest casualty of The Slap by a long shot, though it actually happening was an iffy proposition to begin with (the '19 movie was almost three years old by the time of that Oscar ceremony and Disney would've had to anticipate diminished returns after seeing what happened to the untimely Alice in Wonderland and Maleficent sequels).
  13. It's definitely had a much longer shelf life than most expected (or it probably should have had). This news dropped earlier today at the same time the trailer was released:
