No, that title is awful, and Dracula is not cool in 2023.
Once vampires started sparkling they were pretty much ruined.

I think its a combination of Oppenheimer not ticking enough boxes to be on that crowd's radar and just being a historical drama with casting reflective of the time period(1940s America was overwhelmingly white, 89.8%).
The Last Duel is another one from a few years back that somehow managed to avoid getting a bunch of 'lol go woke go broke' youtube videos hurled at it despite being a mega-bomb and that movie absolutely lampoons systemic patriarchy and misogyny(though not in a cheesy or stupid way).
These youtube guys seem to be more interested in established franchise IP's they perceive as 'going woke' or big flashy movies aimed at everyone they deem as 'woke' or 'problematic' which I think Barbie certainly fits the bill for them.
Bigger targets are easier to grift off of.

I can't think of anybody whose public image has crashed and burned the way Musk had. From the "Real Life Tony Stairk" to a comedian's punch line in a little over a year.
The "pedo guy" thing was longer than a year ago, and I would peg that as when the slide started.

Yep, no PLF and very limited screen count for Spidey 1 compared to more modern standards.It's difficult to compare pre and post digital distributed films. Pre-digital, theaters were limited by the number of prints they received for how many screens they could play a film on. Post-digital the only limiter is contractual obligations.
It gets even more out of sync when you factor in the reserved seating and pre-sales of today. Now theaters can know days or weeks in advance what to prepare for, where before it was much more guesswork.

Still the best blockbuster of the year for me, right there with M:I. And yet both of them disappointed at the BO, and that is really disappointing on a personal level.
Both movies deserved better, but at least with MI they can point to things that cant be blamed on the movie itself.-

Yeah moving it back was a very very wise decision.
The MI folks really should have taken note.

But who knew Barbenheimer was going to be what it was when they chose the dates?
At the very least, they should've known they'd only get 1 week of PLFs.

Wonder if MI:7 releasing the week before Barbenheimer is gonna be like when Hellboy 2 released the week before TDK. Whoever scheduled that should be (metaphorically) defenestrated.

B+. Maybe a little long, but Ford and Waller-Bridge were both good, and Williams still has it. Also, I chortled early on when it panned through Indiana's apartment after the flashback and I saw Mutt died on the way back to his home planet.

An actual public test screening, and not just family/employees?

I hope not because that movie was trash
Yeah, any comparison to a Matrix film that's not the first one isn't a compliment. Fortunately, Spider-verse is really good.

what are you talking about, it's been 6 years since the last one lol
Their general awfulness (Bumblee not withstanding) transcends space and time, so it's understandable.

I can't believe we've circled around to "trailers need to have more spoilers and give away the plot of movies more"
Better than the ridiculous heights Spoilerphobia reached, though. Remember when saying TFA was good/bad was considered a spoiler? Comically absurd.

think I heard some critics mention that to their surprise the family core isnt actually there
It's not Fast n Furious where family is every other word in the script, but it's not nonexistent either.

I feel that way about Mad Max Fury Road. Not arguing it was bad or boring, just could not get into it, no matter how many times I tried
I do not need to be convinced why I’m wrong, just wasn’t for me
If I taught a film class, I'd probably use Fury Road as my go to example for Show, Don't Tell. I don't know if it's a masterpiece exactly, and that term gets tossed around so much it's practically worthless anyway, but Fury Road is pretty damn close.

Loki isn´t even close to be a worst MCU projects. In fact it´s easily on of their best.
I'd rate it upper-mid tier, but yeah not even close to their worst. I think they should probably stop with the Rick and Morty writers, though.

How much humor is in the movie? I tend to like more serious comic book movies, so I'm not sure if this is for me. I did like Dr. Strange 2 though.
Bout the same as the other 2 Ant Man movies.

Gilroy and Dieog Luna both felt that the originally planned 5 seasons was too long and that they couldn't do it, so instead of five seasons with each covering a year up to Rogue One, season two will now have four three-episodes arcs each covering a year.
Yep.
SixTwo seasons and a movie is all we're getting.-

I find it funny musk is a super villain while bezos single handily destroys small businesses around the world in the shadows.
They're both really bad. Also, Bezos isn't "shadowy."

I imagine Denzel would be a one-off like Blanchett or Bale.

Get a generation or so removed from a big war, and folks seem to forget. Might even happen faster now with how sanitized war has been presented in the US since 'Nam. Then you get dumbasses doing things like taking picnic baskets and opera glasses to a battlefield to watch, or saying "over by Christmas," or "we'll be greeted as liberators."
