This has been bugging me for a while, but why are Luis' photos so oversaturated and weird-looking? Is his computer being weird with downloading images?

@Empire Who's your plug?

FYC The 1950s Okay this is 1949, but dudalb reminded me of this, so might as well share it here. It's a great story with twists and turns anchored by the wonderful James Cagney, who portrays a layered and complex figures with a weird past and a ton of mommy issues. Just a great, pulpy thriller with tons of excitement and fun. Another hilarious musical comedy, with a lot of great songs, a hilarious story, a great cast, and a ton of gayness. Gayness is always good. Elia Kazan is my favorite director of all time (even though he's a traitorous piece of shit), and this is a good reason why. It's a wonderfully angsty tale about how much the world sucks and how parents just don't understand, with James Dean showing why he was such an icon of 50s culture and how much we lost due to his tragic death. It's all about piousness, independence, and identity all at once and is beautifully directed. Yes, all of James Dean's movies are getting FYCed here. This is obviously considered a classic, but I've seen some dissenting opinions that this is too melodramatic and over the top, which...well, there's a reason for that. This perfectly captures the intense emotions and angst-filled rage of teenagers. Who think they know better or don't have a clue what to think and just want answers. Answers that nobody can give. It's all anchored by three expert performances and a touch of gayness. Which is always good. With this all-star lineup, I knew this would be a banger. But this took me by surprise in terms of how much I loved it. It's a three-hour family epic very similar to 80s TV hits like Dallas or Dynasty. And within all that time, it allows for so much. Not just a showcase of the beauty of Texas, but also the film focuses on a thrilling love triangle, compelling family drama, and fascinating insights about prejudice, white-Hispanic relations, capitalism, and toxic masculinity. All of this in 1956. Shows just how great films about these important topics will always be around and have always been there, no matter what annoying Internet people whining about "woke culture" will have you believe. And this is one of the best at this. RIP to my man Pedro. ✊ Everybody here is likely more familiar with Hitchcock's other WB films like Rope, Strangers on a Train, and Dial M for Murder. Well this is probably my favorite (haven't seen Rope, so can't confirm). It's a real story about a man framed for a crime he didn't commit and it does well in making you aware that this is very much the case. We know that Henry Fonda is innocent. And since Henry Fonda's persona has always been the kindhearted everyman, we sympathize with him right away. And it's here we are shown all the frustrations and ineptitudes of the judiciary process. How easy it is for the system to wrongfully punish the innocent, how little disregard they have for the people, and how the few who do survive frankly get it from sheer luck. It's disturbing to see a film from the 50s be an exact perfect parallel to today's world, but it makes it an important watch and a necessary one to show that the issues we face from the cops have always been around. ACAB This is another major favorite of mine from Elia Kazan. Starring Andy Griffith pre-TV show, this is basically if A Star is Born if it was even darker. It's a film about power and fame and how it can corrupt innocent people. How desperate people are to stay at their peak of popularity and love, which ironically can lead to their downfall. It's so prescient and shows just how masterful Kazan was tackling subjects that are relevant and powerful and timeless. Add on a great Andy Griffith performance and this is a huge banger. Give this one a watch pronto.

Okay. So this means it's probably not gonna happen. So why are we handwringing over nothing?

I feel like every time I see this dude, it's always to post the most random rumors that never actually come true. So like...why are we paying attention to them?

Don't think I noticed any of that stuff. Last I saw was this blog post where Guardians had 6.7% unaided awareness. https://thequorum.com/this-week-in-unaided-awareness-some-good-news-for-barbie/

Okay

So sorry I didn't get to this earlier, but I've been swamped with work all day and didn't have time to get it up in time. I hope you understand and will still post regardless.

Only 12 out of 31 MCU movies have 90% or higher reviews on RT. That’s less than 40%. So cool it with all this hyperbole, alright?

So at 46% awareness, it has a 75% chance of 60M, 50% chance of 90M and 25% chance of 100M. And at 6.16 Interest, that would be an automatic 100% chance of 100M. Awareness has been the more reliable of the two in terms of defining an opening weekend, with Interest being more of a "this is how likely it will reach a certain Awareness threshold". So I don't think a 100M opening is going to happen just yet, but I see 60M as the floor so far, with 70M+ more likely.

I mean I'm super bullish on it, but I do agree that Shawn's projections would still make it a great success. Just because it doesn't hit my super high-end stuff doesn't mean the film's a failure.
