Well if he says it's a good time, then it has to be, right?

Everything about that movie is such a wasted opportunity. A waste of a good story, a waste of good actors, a waste of good visuals. It’s a film that gets worse and worse every time I think about it, especially when Zombie CG Cushing gave us this AI deepfake bullshit that SAG is trying to stop and studios are exploiting like crazy to save money. It’s one of those rare hit movies people like where I genuninely don’t get the appeal. At all. No understanding whatsoever.

Rogue One is the rare movie where so many talented actors are utterly wasted. Like what was Peter Cushing trying to do with his part?

Reddevil, go to bed.

Though yeah, I was a huge Mr. Robot stan when I was 18, so Rami Malek was my whole personality for a while and I thought he could do no wrong. Still have a soft spot I guess, but he has really started to follow the Johnny Depp route and become an annoying one trick pony with every movie he is in. Only time he was against his annoying twitchy schtick was Bohemian Rhapsody, which was…well, yeah. Really hope he does something new and interesting before it’s too late.

Um…Riz Ahmed isn’t in Oppenheimer, honey.

I trust Erik Davis’ opinions with my life tbh

The main difference is that vampires are a more interesting concept that offers more creativity and iconography to play around with. You can’t even use the Karloff version of Frankenstein for your visual style. Stuff like Buffy, Interview with the Vampire, True Blood, Twilight, etc. also likely help keep the vampire concept alive, and thereby Dracula and his story alive Used to think that Mr. Robot was basically an angsty Robin Hood and that it would be a good show to use as a framework for a Sherlock-style Robin Hood movie. Still would be down for that, so long as you avoid the pretentious silliness in that show.

Pretty sure Jolie was replaced by Gal Gadot. Now that was a bullet we dodged big time lmao

Didn’t know Frankie was a hot topic these days, but I approve. Universal Monsters > your faves

Huh. I enjoyed Lost Daughter, so I’m curious even if I know it won’t match James Whale at all.

I know about the Del Toro one, but what’s this about a Bride of Frankenstein remake?

Pretty sure that’s the case? IIRC they were going to have a Creature remake for the Dark Universe with ScarJo. Not sure as the girl or the monster. But…well you know

Very confused how this of all movies is now Film Twitter's new meme.

If TMNT follows Super Pets's second weekend trajectory, that would lead to about a 13.3M weekend from that 2.7. Not sure if that totally tracks however with it opening on a Wednesday.

The Chip n Dale avatar is the perfect cherry on top with this statement lmao

This better get a 38/103 run to fit the series' patterns. Otherwise, cancel the whole thing

Audrey Hepburn was great, but tbh, if Jack Warner wasn't such a pigheaded idiot and gave us Julie Andrews as Eliza, it'd be a whole other story. (Although I did have problems with the Pygmalion backdrop, which granted will always be problematic. But in this, I feel like Higgins was never really confronted or combatted against with his misogyny and that his "growth" wasn't earned. When Eliza came back, it was a touch too gross for me. If anything, I think Pretty Woman handled it better, even if that one is also problematic)

#39 Batman Returns 905 points, 16 lists "I am Catwoman. Hear me roar." Box Office: 266.8M Rotten Tomatoes: 81% Metacritic: 68 Awards: 2 Academy Award nominations, 2 BAFTA Award nominations, 1 Saturn Award and 4 nominations, 1 MTV Movie Award nomination, 1 Hugo Award nomination, 1 Golden Raspberry Award nomination Its Legacy: Considered an early example of the "anti-blockbuster". Tim Burton's final Batman production. Made parent groups and McDonald's very angry. Spawned the Joel Schumacher series of films. Has a massive fan following and strong critical re-evaluation decades after its release. Features the most iconic depictions of Penguin and Catwoman. Pfieffer's Catwoman performance is oft-considered one of the greatest CBM villains ever. Matt Reeves' and Robert Pattinson's favorite Batman movie. Would actually get followed up in Batman '21 and....The Flash. Gave Christopher Walken a paycheck. Commentary: The most interesting aspect of Batman as a character and as a franchise, especially compared to every other superhero property, is that Batman and his rogues gallery are all a bunch of weirdos. Spider-Man is the relatable one, Superman is the aspirational one, Batman is the oddball. A crazed figure who uses his resources and skills in an effort to be a vigilante, fighting off people just as crazy as he is. People who have dealt with tragedy in some form and now are forced into the world of crime in order to find stability and sanity. Batman Returns, Tim Burton’s final foray into Gotham City, tackles this concept best. And that’s why it’s the best Batman movie. Yes, I said that. Michael Keaton works well as Bruce Wayne, the loner who is just sane enough between all the baddies that we are obligated to root for him. You have Danny DeVito as The Penguin, an utterly repulsive but also depressingly tragic figure who was unloved by everybody and only wants respect and kindness. And of course, Michelle Pfieffer as Catwoman, a former meek and abused woman who finds confidence after utter tragedy and is only now figuring out how to handle her new personality and strengths. It’s a film about loners and outsiders who all just want closure. A place where they can find some sort of happiness, a sense of self, somebody who loves them. And sadly, we don’t get that with anybody. A true Greek tragedy wrapped up in a gothic story full of grotesqueries, oddities, and powerful visuals and moments. It was too much for most back in 1992, with parent groups repulsed at a film that dared to feature Burton’s best attributes and qualities. But for many, this struck a chord. This was a movie that spoke to them in a way few blockbusters do. And frankly, as we continue to get more and more and more Batman movies for decades to come, all with their own personal stamp and identity, I think Batman Returns will be the one I always gravitate to. The creative peak of this entire enterprise.

#40 Edge of Tomorrow 888 points, 20 lists "Come find me when you wake up!" Box Office: 370.5M Rotten Tomatoes: 91% Metacritic: 71 Awards: 1 Annie Award, 1 Critics Choice Award and 3 nominations, 1 Empire Award nomination, 1 Hugo Award nomination, 1 Saturn Award and 6 nominations Its Legacy: Has more than one title. A legit sleeper hit that grew its following over time. One of Emily Blunt's highest-grossing films. Rumored to get a sequel or TV series follow-up. Gave Brendan Gleeson a paycheck. Commentary: Have you ever found yourself watching Groundhog Day and thinking to yourself, “I wish they made an action movie out of this”? Well Tom Cruise and Doug Liman got your back. This epic sci-fi feature wasn’t a big hit at the time, but its time loop premise and epic sci-fi action meant it was bound to have an audience. The film takes advantage of its premise to deliver a fun story that still has plenty of great twists and turns and two great lead performances between Cruise and Emily Blunt. Rumors of a follow-up, whether it be a sequel or a TV show spin-off, have been around for ages, yet that epic classic, a fun, fast-paced feature that pays tribute to both anime and video games, will always have a place in our hearts. Have you ever found yourself watching Groundhog Day and thinking to yourself, “I wish they made an action movie out of this”? Well Tom Cruise and Doug Liman got your back. This epic sci-fi feature...
