None. It's just scary as all Hell. -
Ready Player One felt like Spielberg making one final hurrah in the sci-fi/fantasy/adventure genre that he defined so iconically from '75 to '93 (as both a director and producer). It absolutely worked for me. After The Fabelmans, I have a gut feeling he's going to retire.

Watch Threads (1984).

Only thing that annoys me about latter-era Spielberg is how critics/pundits will every-so-often say "HE'S STILL GOT IT, YOU GUYS!" Uh. He never lost it to begin with? Oh and I couldn't stand The Post.

Several years back, my li'l niece (now age 14 - queue Saving Private Ryan aging gif) watched Jaws. She was absolutely mesmerized... until the shark appeared. That broke the reality and she could never come back. On the other hand, my sister showed her E.T. and that had her from start to finish.

We get too hung up over differing opinions. Acting like someone's opposing taste in their entertainment (like their politics) is a war crime. We can agree to disagree without being childish about it. My three favorite films are Excalibur, Dawn of the Dead (1979) and The Wizard of Oz. If you don't like those, that's perfectly fine. Nothing wrong with that.

Us Pepsi people had to grit our teeth at that.

They didn't cover the Nixon meet up or his dying on a toilet. Zero stars.

Its funny. Elvis has been selling out on weeknights here. I know this because my best friend and his wife have been trying to go this week to no success. Don't have the heart to spoil it.

Yeah something feels very off. Don't sense any excitement two weeks out compared to Us or even Get Out with it's glowing advanced word.

Luhrmann said it isn't going there next month and the fact is this was always more of Kilar's baby. Zaslav clearly isn't as beholden to HBO Max.
-
Or pretending The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was good.
-
I would add Elvis and Black Phone to that list too.
-
Never understood that $500M talk for Dominion in the slightest.
-
Why do I get the feeling this is headed for a Snyder level drop next weekend?
-
To me, it's the Goddamn cyncism of the whole project and how happy I was to see audiences see right through it on Day One.

Where are we thinking for Nope?
-
Bigger question is does it top The Batman?

Weekly Thread 6/20/22 - JWD $8.5m, TGM $8.0m, LY $6.8m

Fuck it. Going $40M for Elvis and $25M for Black Phone. Why not. -
I wouldn't lose any sleep. But no.

No reason to think Turning Red wouldn't have held it's own while The Batman was dominating. Will forever maintain the latter would have done the exact same business it did while the former would do $210M-$230M.
