So what's everybody's Sunday plans for National Cinema Day? My viewing is going to be American Graffitti. First time I've seen it, and I'm quite curious to see what George Lucas created before he destroyed the world.

There's going to be nothing to show this Christmas at this rate.

I mean he's still a massively successful producer on tons of projects and has his own production company. He may not get a big-budget deal, but there's no reason he can't go back to his horror roots.

Ah yes. March. The famed dump month where no big hits ever get released. Like I'm mad I have to wait a few months, but this is easily the best date possible, especially since WB/Denis cares more about IMAX than they do Oscars. Second part is right though. Kept telling you guys capitalism would kill us faster than the virus will.

Feel like with Aquaman it's just better to get it over with, especially since you're farther away from Superman: Legacy. And honestly a March date for this is fine? It's still getting Spring Break money, Easter money, and still tons of IMAX play until Godzilla X Kong. Doubt Snow White or Ghostbusters will have the bargaining power to make IMAX say no to more Dune play.

Man shutcho ass up 🤣

Said this three years ago, and it’s still relevant

Thank you. Really needed to make that change. But you know? Like...Wonka's staying. Color Purple's staying. My babies will both be in movies this Christmas. It's fine. It's all fine. Everything happens for a reason. It's fine.

This is going to be a dreadful few months with tweets and articles like this every other day.

Life is good again.

Dude...it's The Exorcist. What are you even talking about lmao

lmao no thank you

The Telegram chat has surmised that this almighty, super special guy who has incredible access to everything and seems so high up on the food chain in Hollywood is just...a guy who owns a movie theater. It all checks out, since he goes to CinemaCon every year, he often talks about how "epic" walkups are for movies, he sees movies in advance, which is common for theater owners who show stuff to their staff. Plus, no self-respecting distribution/NATO executive, especially one supposedly so high up on the food chain, would ever spend their free time on a forum run by an autistic furry and Steve Rogers/TCM stan. Nor would they ever spend their time arguing with random people on Twitter about their hatred for labor strikes and streaming services. His hyping up for movies he's seen is also funny since he basically likes every movie that comes out. Almost like he's doing this shit to get people to go to the movie theater he owns/company he works for. He was out here talking about how amazing Death on the Nile/Fantastic Beasts 3/Lightyear were and that they were destined to be big hits and shut up for thinking otherwise. And uh...well. At least with Erik Davis, he's the CEO of the most popular movie ticketing website and is generally considered a chummy, likable guy to hang out with. Funny too how he then backtracked on Lightyear specifically and how Disney putting gay characters in their movies will cause them all to tank, which is...definitely a choice to say on a forum that's run by and features a ton of LGBT posters. Very, very interesting indeed. So really, EC's whining about the strikes (did the same for IATSE) is just a sad, strange little man piss-scared that he's losing his entire livelihood just like that. Which normally I would be sad about...but I also believe in a little thing called karma. Ohhhhh well.
