There's a Michael Jackson biopic show currently on Broadway, and the show ends with Michael going on the Dangerous Tour that started in 1992 and everything all happy, ignoring...everything that happened the year later. Feels pretty obvious, especially with the Jackson estate involved, that this is how the movie will end and will basically be a greatest hits movie like all the other successful music biopics with none of the real-life drama. I'm sure there will be tons of discourse online about them ignoring all of Michael Jackson's horrible actions, but also I doubt most people would care and just want to enjoy the nostalgia. (for the record to everybody here, this post isn't an invitation to argue about Michael Jackson and his actions, so like...don't.)

It may seem like it scored well, but you also have to recognize that having your awareness score in the 50s generally isn't very good the week of release. It can ensure a movie will do at least 10M+, 20M+, and sometimes even 30M+, but once you want to go higher than that, things get super unlikely. Only 44% of movies that score in the 50s in awareness got a 40M opening or higher, and only a third got above 50M. That's not a great metric. In fact, the only movies to get above 60M with a Quorum awareness in the 50s are Ant-Man 3, Venom 2, Black Adam, and Guardians 3. I wonder what connects all those movies? 🤔 I know it sounds great for a movie to have more than half of survey respondents know that it exists, but it's way better to be in the 60s or higher, when movies typically open above 50M or higher. There's an art to understanding this as the data gains more and more depth, though I understand the confusion here.

Just for both of your informations, while the staff are largely fine with my moderation style, they do not let me go on “power trips” and have called me out when they think I gave a warning unfairly. This included my moderation warning towards Zatt that both of you think I am too aggressive on. Although, frankly, I don’t see how I was aggressive? I told Zatt to stop his condescending attitude and fighting against Deep Wang. I was quite stern about it, but I don’t think being stern is bad? Especially when you are a moderator? Plus people were clearly growing tired of Zatt and his behavior towards people in this thread. In fact, people have found him a problematic user for months now. But when I tell a user people have problems with to knock it off, folks here say I’m a bully and power hungry? I’m getting a ton of mixed signals here.

#69 Training Day 568 points, 15 lists "King Kong ain't got shit on me" Box Office: 104.9M Rotten Tomatoes: 74% Metacritic: 69 Awards: 1 Academy Award and 1 nomination, 1 BET Award nomination, 1 Golden Globe Award nomination, 2 MTV Movie Awards and 1 nomination, 1 NAACP Image Award and 1 nomination Its Legacy: The breakthrough film of director Antoine Fuqua. David Ayer's first solo screenplay. Earned Denzel Washington his second Academy Award. Earned a television series in 2017 starring the late Bill Paxton. A prequel film is now in development. Gave Snoop Dogg a paycheck. Commentary: Jake Hoyt. Alonzo Harris. The former is a rookie cop who is trying to rise in the ranks. The latter is a seasoned veteran who has been working with the force for ages. It's an easy to digest and understand dynamic. And one that Fuqua and Ayer effectively capture, resulting in an energized and kinetic feature that is incredibly prescient over 20 years later. Denzel Washington as Alonzo Harris is one of the most magnetic and fascinating acting performances of the 21st century. A police officer who has been in the force so long and adores the power he has, we see a man who is absolutely scary and unpredictable. His morals are cruel, his willingness to go above the law happens frequently, and he has an explosive temper that could set off any minute. He's the perfect example of the abusive, power-hungry police forces filled with cops who only want the job to exert power on others they don't like. And in 2023, that concept is only more real and more dangerous. It's a stark contrast to, say, the Dirty Harry franchise a few decades ago, where loose cannon cops were considered brave heroes and saviors. Training Day is our reality. Loose cannon cops are considered brave heroes and saviors...but to the wrong people. And it hurts everybody.- 393 replies

OOPSIE I made a mistake. Swordfish didn't rank #69 on the list. Now how did that happen?????????? -
No offense, but none of these execs, in any major studio, give a fuck about the art form of film and originality. Disney don’t care, Warner don’t, Uni don’t. Every movie you see is going in the pockets of these callous, capitalist executives. So either just ignore these execs or don’t see any movie ever. Sorry
