The situation isn't really similar to JD and AH at all, but I guess since it's occurring close in time, it makes people think of that. It will probably amount to nothing but I've seen like 3 different semi viral tweets about Brad and Angie and with negativity being thrown his way. I don't really know the details of what he's complaining about but he should probably let it go lol.

lol idk the details about the cases but I've seen 2 different us weekly articles in a week about Brad and Angie that i can only assume are from Brad's PR teams because why now lmao? I know twitter isn't real life but he really needs to cool it. 🤷♀️Brad is well liked but twitter is already trying to start to form a hate campaign against him lol.

I disagree somewhat with what you said about Titanic being "reviled and downplayed". Sure it was made fun of, but that's mostly because it was a romance movie popular among teenage girls and not a male oriented action movie and people make fun of and mock anything that's popular among girls. If Avatar was made fun of or joked about a lot today that's one thing but before this trailer I feel no one really TALKED about Avatar. Titanic had much more impact on the cultural zeitgeist than Avatar imo. But you actually might be on to something about the somewhat cynical nature of the film that paints no hope for humanity being a factor in the movies perceived lack of impact in popular culture and younger audiences. I know nothing about the plot but you're right that Cameron incorporating a young male human character is an extremely smart move.

Mmmm I disagree Not including movies where the character's name is in the title (Indiana Jones, Superhero movies, Harry Potter, etc) There's Jack Sparrow, Neo, Tyler Durden, Sarah Connor, Hannibal Lector, Kevin McAllister, Elle Woods, Ellen Ripley, Vito, Scarlett O'Hara, all the OG Star Wars characters... I would say anyone who has watched those movies remembers the character's name. I'm not saying it matters that people don't know the characters 'name in Avatar (even though funny enough that's the one thing I do remember from Avatar) but I think a major factor in whether a character's name is remembers is if the story is more character oriented vs plot driven. (also how many times their name is said in the movie lmao. )

Are you sure about this lol??? I'm highly skeptical of the awards hype this is getting based on what I've seen. I love Baz but his style is a bit divisive and it's not like he's known for getting stellar reviews. I somewhat agree with the rest of your assessment though. But I see this making around 250 - 350 million WW which would be good for this. (hopefully the budget isn't outrageous lol). This will definitely do better internationally than SOC because Elvis is not a black rapper and is more of a globally known figure. Also this will probably get some love from older audiences. However it's definitely not breaking out to Bohemian Rhapsody's levels. Queen's songs are still pretty ubiquitous among young people. They were able to just sell the movie based on the songs and Rami's strong performance. I don't really understand why they didn't play more of Jailhouse Rock or even Can't Help Falling in Love in the trailer. Those are the only Elvis songs i would that are close to the ubiquity of Queen's songs. I kinda understand why they used Unchained Melody as the main song but that's not even his song and I don't think his Indianapolis performance is well known among young people. Freddie's Live Aid concert was much more well known.

Obviously the trailer was going to get some attention. Literally everyone saw the first movie and the 13 year gap between the movies give it a sense of nostalgia. It obviously won't flop but I'm prediction like 400-450 domestic. It doesn't have the novelty of the first, and I stand by the fact that the first did not have much impact in popular culture in the years following its release.

Kinda looks like a video game to me lol. I don't see anything really revolutionary in the visuals. Hopefully the story is good

I don't mind them but they are usually very paint by the numbers. I know Baz can be controversial but I do hope he brings some of wackiness and theatrics to the movie. I hope they find time to depict the black talent in rock and roll and R&B during that period. It seems B.B King plays a somewhat prominent role in the film based on the trailer (and the casting of Kelvin Harrison Jr.) and they have actors cast Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Little Richard, Arthur Crudup and Big Mama Thornton so I'm hopeful they will explore some of that.

I'm not going to get into a debate of the morality of grooming (or sleeping with) a 14 year old when you're 24 I'm just genuinely curious on how they will depict it. They show him kissing Priscilla in the trailer so I'm assuming their romance is in the film some capacity . Usually in in these musical biopics they show how the singer meet their love interest. Will they skip over how they met? Age her up? Or will they actually depict him starting a relationship with a 14 year old? I can't be the only person curious lol.

I know Nolan is probably stubborn about releasing in july but if i were Universal I would move this to the fall. Like a biopic about the guy who created the atomic bomb that's costing hundred million dollars coming out a week after Mission impossible, a week before Antman and the same day as Barbie. This doesn't scream summer movie imo.

I'm already seeing some hype for this on social media with Austin Butler's GQ article. I see it being a decent hit tbh. Probably get mediocre reviews though. Like I'm thinking Great Gatsby or Bohemian Rhapsody critical reception. I'm just interested in how the black characters will be portrayed in the film.

This seems premature to say, especially since there is no indication Ezra is getting anyhelp. What if they get arrested again on more serious charges? A girl on tiktok is alleging they abused her when they dated (although gave no details). What if ex-girlfriends start coming out with serious allegations of abuse???
