You know the state of the industry is sad when I'm out here rooting for an alligator movie because it feels like a breath of fresh air compared to the 800th Spider-Fuck movie. 💀

ScarJo is worthless now anyway. She was always minimally talented but at least she often used her minimal talent (and beauty) in interesting movies by interesting directors. Now all she does is shitty Marvel movies. There's no point to her anymore.

What ScarJo said was true.

So she should be able to play Rosa Parks or Mulan?

It's really too bad that crawl is not going to do that while at the theater. It might be my favorite movie of the year so far. It is fucking intense and the alligator scenes are incredible. Does just the right amount of killing and some really good interpersonal relationships as well. This is definitely an old-school 80s kind of horror movie in my opinion.

It will have a long life outside the theatre. It's such a blast and the lead actress is phenomenal. 

[Crawl (2019)]

I'll use the title from one of the director's past films to describe this one: High Tension. 

 

B+

Crawl was probably the most fun I had in the theatre this year

Paramount dumped Crawl and  gave it no advance screenings. Too bad because it apparently is good

This definitely feels like the worst summer box office season in a loooonnnng time

Well yeah, an Aladdin remake we didn't need, a Toy Story sequel we didn't need, another Spider-Man movie we didn't need, an upcoming Lion King remake we don't need but people will force themselves to like, etc. 

[Midsommar (2019)]

I think I liked this better than Hereditary bc it doesnt trip over itself trying to explain the supernatural mythology. It's too long, though, and lags in parts. I also wish it didnt borrow from Wicker Man THAT FREELY. Still, I was on for the ride. B+

Anything for Midsommar Thursday?

 

(It's nice that Spider-Man is doing well, I guess more speciality divisions like Fox 2000 bringing diverse quality films will shut down in favor of some dumbass in an insect suit swinging from buildings for the 800th time.)

I just saw Midsommar.  Holy shit.  Adored it, and blows all the mediocre movies we got in June out of the water.  Honestly think I liked it more than Hereditary, and I loved Hereditary.

 

Borrows from Wicker Man a little too freely but yeah, it shits all over that Marvel garbage.

I would worry less about Ariel being black and more about Rob Marshall (a hack) being the director.

Definitely not a great hold for TS4 considering there is no completion (Incredibles 2 had the 148m opening Jurassic World sequel)

 

 

Endgame seems like its doing well. Spider-Man could also help it

Wait, there's another Spider-Man coming out? What in the name of fuck? This is so sad.

Aladdin has basically become the real surprise winner of the summer. Looking headed for a $325M+ total at this point.

How is it a surprise? Mermaid, Beauty, Aladdin and Lion King are the most meaningful Disney nostalgia movies. Their live action remakes are surefire bets. No one grew up on/gives a fuck about Dumbo.
