It seems like concern trolling because a lot of the debates reads to me as people trying to make Little Mermaid's performance worse than it actually is. Trying to say that its legs actually aren't good because X, Y, and Z and the like and that because it didn't hit certain expectations, it's automatically a failure. When in actuality, the film is doing fine and will be fine. It all screams trying to look for something that isn't there, especially when we've never done this with any other movie until right now, for some reason. Very peculiar. And sure, maybe me stating this all as concern trolling is a little harsh. But I have to be harsh as a mod. Otherwise, the message won't be clear.

True, but this whole VR/metaverse stuff just feels like a novelty and not something that's gonna catch on. Even when newer models come out and the costs come down, they're still gonna be like a thousand to pay for at worst and it's all just for flashy stuff I can already do and will give me a headache and motion sickness. Like you look at what they want to do with Disney+ and it's basically saying, "Watch Encanto, only with a million unnecessary screens shoved in your face while you're watching". Like...what's the appeal here?

Who's ready to be stupid?!

Moderation We are not partking in this Little Mermaid "is it a hit or not" concern trolling nonsense anymore. Regardless on how you feel about the movie's performance, it's just derailing the thread and nobody's going to listen to each other. So please stop this now.

Man…do you guys want to be disappointed?

He would have been PERFECT as Harold Hill from The Music Man, and I'm baffled Hugh Jackman got to that part first.

Re: TLM merchandise I work at Target and while I don't know any specifics, our Little Mermaid toys and merch do seem to be selling a lot. The shelves dedicated to it are frequently empty, while the ones for the new Transformers, Guardians 3, even Spider-Verse are still relatively full. It does seem like the merch is a big deal, and Disney Princess has always been a hot commodity since day 1.

Well, if you use the Report functionalities, that means at least somebody on the staff will be aware and look into the issue. And if you think that is insufficent for whatever reason, then @ me specifically, or another moderator, and I/they will take care of the problem if they think it's an issue or not. And speaking of, I have threadbanned both 21C and Willowra for their trolling and conspiratorial nonsense. While 21C's post was reported, it would have been better if you did the action or just tell a moderator the problem, instead of being all "WHY IS NOBODY DOING ANYTHING". We have lives and jobs outside of this forum and we can't be here every waking minute, especially when last weekend we had to deal with another controversial release re: Little Mermaid.

Just wanted to remind people here that you have one month left to submit a list for the Top 100 Warner Bros. Movies countdown. It's already very exciting so far with just 11 submissions, but your vote is needed to make it even better. So don't forget it!

We are now officially one month away from the WB countdown submission period. And while we have a decent amount so far, at about 11, we still need tons more to really make this list an exciting one. Your votes still matter, as just one placement can cause a film to go from #84 to #58 just like that. So please try to submit before it's too late. 21C@35MM-18@3jp@4815162342@75Live@8wombi7@A Star is Orm@abra@abracadabra1998@AdrianL@Alex

I've been around the block long enough to know who are new posters who want to learn and don't know any better, and others who seem to exist just to troll. And this G Doss fellow seems very much the latter. Almost all of their posts consist of "grr Disney bad" rhetoric, crying how every Disney movie is an epic bomb int he making, all designed to get people here in a tizzy and angry. We've gotten that quite a bit for the past few years and we don't need this crap here anymore. The choice quote from their first post that got them their first warning ever. They also tried to accuse a user for lying when they said a showing for Little Mermaid they were going to was sold out. That is asking to start a fight, because why would anybody lie about that? Simply put, there is nothing that indicates to me this G Doss fellow is interested in the box office world and really just wants to be a troll. Maybe they will change their tune when they are back from their suspension, but we can only hope.

Moderation I didn't want to have to do this, but you left me with no choice. @G Doss has been suspended for two weeks for reaching 10 warning points and directly disobeying moderation orders. As an aside to everybody else, when a staff member asks you to stop something, you stop. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.

Moderation @G Doss if you continue this nonsensical trolling, you will get warning points. And since you are at nine out of 10 already, that means you are suspended for two weeks. This is your last chance.

So like 118M or so, right? Cool stuff.

Denzel's winning too! Can't forget him. Just quietly doing his thing and not bothering anybody. I respect that.

I mean...I wish I could see what you guys see with Wahlberg. I think the only roles I've liked him in were Pain and Gain and Ted.

Isn't the budget inflated because it was supposed to go to streaming first? I think that was why Air cost 70M even though it's mainly just people talking in an office.

Boogie Nights would probably be my favorite if they got literally anybody else to play the lead except Mark Wahlberg. And this isn't just me saying it because of him committing hate crimes. He's just an abysmal charisma vaccuum of an actor, even in good movies. It's hilarious when you see him surrounded by all these acting legends in The Departed and he's just being his usual boring, stiff self.

Speaking of Sony sequels, I was going to bring this up earlier when the movies were mentioned, I've thought recently about how COVID really killed all the momentum and development time for Jumanji 3. Because if we didn't have COVID, we would have gotten that as Sony's 2021 or 2022 holiday season release. But because COVID caused a huge logjam for Dwayne and his 43 million productions in development, they kept getting pushed back because he had to film Red Notice, and Black Adam, and that Amazon Christmas movie first. And now that he's getting his Fast and Furious spin-off and Moana remake fast-tracked, we're probably not getting another Jumanji movie until like 3 or 4 years from now. And by that point, it will be like Night at the Museum 3 where nobody will care anymore. I dunno. Just find that kind of stuff interesting to think about.
