BAH GAWD

Okay but like Joker and Black Panther were still socially and politically conscious features, which helped give them legitimacy as highbrow fare, and were both two of the highest-grossing films in history with significant box office milestones that made them the events of their year. The closest thing a Barbie movie could have from a "social" perspective, from what I can see, would probably be mocking its toy commercial existence a la Lego Movie and maybe a few feminist ideals, but I doubt it'll be anything super dramatic or profound, and more just satirical, funny gags. And I doubt it's making a billion dollars. I love Greta Gerwig too, but I feel like you guys are setting yourself up for disappointment if you honestly think this has any Oscar chances.

...cannibals? Really?

I'm seeing Northman on Tuesday with some friends at work, and I'm already prepared to be the only one who likes it and dealing with my buddies complaining about how they didn't get the point and that it was super boring. Funnnnnnnnnnnn

Moderation @PenguinHyphy your beef was cute the day before, but we're not starting this stuff again. Don't even try.

No. But this is a gut feeling than anything else. I can not prove that it will happen, and I am sure that I could be completely, totally wrong, but this is just what I'm feeling just on indifference from studio executives and their desperation to push more and more stuff on streaming, even in spite of Netflix's current woes.

You're right, it did kill its legs. But the studios don't care about theatrical anymore. And while I'm sure Papa Feige will try and convince them, I'm still fairly confident, 50/50, that Doctor Strange 2 and Thor 4 and the like will get 45-day windows. We'll all cry about it, but this is our future, and we'll have to deal with that. Sad but true.

Sorry, we're still a PG-13 forum at the end of the day. And we really shouldn't scare the forum normies here. 😕

I'm sure there are a lot of Sonic fan artists who have OnlyFans for all those deranged Sonic sickos out there (and oh boy is there a lot).

They put Encanto on streaming for 30 days. Death on the Nile was 47 days. They'll probably do the same thing for 90% of their other movies. Don't even try with this stuff.
