Happy with how much healthier the box office for 2024 looks now versus a few weeks ago. Lots of wildcards to look forward to, and fingers crossed for less doomposting.

The third act kinda fell apart for me a bit. At a certain point, it practically lampshaded any criticism of weightless action scenes by have an actual weightless action scene. Rio looked especially terrible too, almost to the point where I was squinting to try and find AI elements, but I might just be getting too paranoid. Lots of fun little moments in this, but ultimately disappointing. More Godzilla next time, please.

Anecdotal, but the trailer never seems to get good reception whenever I see it, and I've seen it a lot the last few months.

The whole cast was awesome in this, but especially Bardem, who had couple of good comedic moments that really worked for the audience. Shouty Timothee also really worked, though I can totally see Clay's point about the transition being too abrupt. I think the change of Chani being a skeptic helps here though, as there's a palpable dread hanging over everything. It's a tad alienating to lose Paul's perspective at this point, but that might also be the point as well. Beyond curious what approach Denis would take with Messiah at this point. Please, please let it happen.

Interesting announcements, for sure. After-hours trading seems to like it, for what that's worth.

Kinda hard to be surprised by announcements anymore with leaks and whatnot, but this definitely counts as a surprise. Looking forward to it.

Hope you're wrong here, if only because summer could really use the boost. X was a nice throwback, and I'm definitely in for more, which is kind of crazy to say after 20 years.

For anyone into college football, what a pair of games today. I think my heart is still racing. 😁

Guess it just needed to be serviceable for people to show up, but the trailers didn't even make it look serviceable, imo.

I wouldn't think so either, but man, those market cap and cash on hand numbers are crazy. Just hoping they keep seeing some value in theatrical distribution for the long haul.

Merry Christmas to all celebrating!

Haven't been following it super closely, but some of these numbers look a whole lot better than I was expecting.

These reviews have definitely piqued my curiosity, after admittedly being somewhat let down by the trailers I've seen.

I haven't really been following it at all, but the advertising campaign seems to be picking up, and it just doesn't look very good, imo.

Really found the post-war setting interesting as well. It's not something that I've personally seen a ton of, and they did a great job with it, especially for the budget. I assume Japanese navy fans probably found a lot to like as well.
