The problem isn't that the first Uncharted bombed. The problem is that the first Uncharted was terrible. It would be like if they made a sequel to Last Airbender. Just because people saw the first movie doesn't mean they would see another one. And Sony knows that.

Don't know if this is a hot take or not, but I will always say Magnolia is PTA's best movie. It's both tight and loose and messy and deliberate all at once and it's easily the most fascinating world he has ever concieved. It's a rare case where the film school nature of it gives it a ton of charm.

Holland Spider-Man is so frustrating, because everything about his performance and personality in a vaccuum is what I want out of Spider-Man and I feel the other guys didn't capture (though Garfield acting circles around the other two in NWH was hilarious), but then they got rid of the working class/"hero and regular guy" balancing act stuff that always made him so endearing as a character and it kind of ruins everything? Having him be Iron Man's apprentice arguably helped make his character stand out from the other versions, but it's just a pet peeve I can't really get behind...and also Jon Watts sucks. This is why Spider-Verse is the perfect package. Captures that working class energy, while also having great performances and great writing and great direction. Really, why do we need all these other movies at this point? (This is rhetorical, don't answer this lol)

I love that he has a wolf fursona as a stand-in during his pick-up artist meetings. PTA lowkey predicted Nazi furs and it's kind of hilarious.

...like he said, if it's not Spider-Man, it's a red flag.

Not really a huge fan of him, but it will always annoy me how he and his agents keep forcing him into action movies and thrillers and dark, twisted stuff when he clearly has major theater kid energy and would do well in lighter material. Like he was a contender for Wonka and he would probably do solid in the part.

I'll be your producer and get Timothee to play Peter Parker LIKE HE DESERVES TO BE

It legit looks like a Nick Jr. show put onto the big screen. I did get a laugh when this played in front of my screening for Little Mermaid though and they had that "people love mermaids because people are stupid" line. I have to imagine that was intentional on the marketing team's part.

They didn't direct the movie.

Do we want Shia back tho?

This included rewatches, so he probably watched a good number of movies he really liked again.

Fair bit lower than Beau’s 35.3K Friday average, but that was more fan-driven and had some Q&As IIRC. Hopefully things are more stable and we might get an average on par? I dunno, extrapolating limited releases like these are hard.

Funny. I was told that Europe were appalled at Ariel being Black and that they hated how Disney made it American and political. Strange 🤔

Moderation Not the Star Wars thread.

The whole "nobody puts big movies the weekend after Memorial Day" opener is very, very silly. There's always been a big movie on that weekend as long as I can remember. @AJG Deadline Anthony strikes again!

Oh absolutely. The first Spider-Verse has some of the strongest post-theatrical longevity I've seen in a recent movie. For a good while, especially after it hit Netflix, I've seen my Animation Twitter, CBM Twitter, Meme Twitter, and just GA Twitter mutals all talking about this movie and gushing over it for years on end. Even the Film Twitter weirdos who hate everything Marvel and hype up vulgar auteurism love Spider-Verse. It's inane. That's already happened. Mitchells vs. Machines, The Bad Guys, Puss in Boots 2, that new TMNT movie. They all copy the Spider-Verse artstyle and the filmmakers have all stated in interviews that Spider-Verse was a huge influence in the art direction. With that and so many movies copying its multiverse premise, this is probably the most influential animated movie industry-wide since arguably the first Shrek movie. (note I said industry-wide. Something like Frozen was influential for Disney specifically, but not the whole industry IMO)

I mean I guess it kind of counts, but it's a weird gray area where it goes either way, while Mermaid and Verse are more definite. But sure, I guess we can say 3 in a row.
