The execution for Shazam 2 and Ant-Man 3 are so odd to me. Their predecessors' whole appeal is small-scale, more comedic and family-oriented adventures. But then the sequels try to "epic-ify" them and give them world-ending stakes, which just alienates the fans, confuses newcomers, and then nobody's satisfied or happy. It's so dumb. It's okay to have your silly kids movie be a silly kids movie.

No? I just haven't heard his name in like 6 or 7 years and I was surprised he was still around making videos.

He's still around making videos? Why?

And they didn't drop the poster/trailer for this before John Wick, because...?

The Bourne Ultimatum comp is making more and more sense here. I love being right.

MAH BOIS

That, and also I abhor the idea of getting excited over a Chris Pratt production. But they've done touched the right buttons for me. Also I have a huge crush on Bowser, and they made him soooooooooooooooooo hot in this movie. So my thirst is also playing into my hype.

Sadly yes. I tried to be super cynical for months on this, but over the last couple weeks, I can't help but get the nostalgia feels over this coming out. I hate it so much lol

Here's a fun comparison to look at: The Bourne Identity: 27/122 The Bourne Supremacy: 52/176 The Bourne Ultimatum: 69/227 John Wick 2: 30/92 John Wick 3: 56/171 John Wick 4: ???/??? Not perfect, but you can see the parallels, especially with Chapter 4 likely getting a 70s opening. So Ballerina should do about...113M? Bourne Legacy made that much? Huh. Thought it did like 80M or something. Guess that's really good news for that spin-off nobody wanted lol

Thank you for letting me know there are DnD shows tonight. Had no idea there was yet another day of sneak previews. That's...four of them? This is just ridiculous.

We're unlocked. @scabab has been threadbanned indefinitely, and I doubt we're letting his racist ass back in here. Also we're done with this stupid "Is Halle pretty actually" stuff we were seeing here. This shit is sexist and gross and dumb, especially when she's prettier than all of y'all. If you guys could stop being weird about this silly kids movie about mermaids and princesses, that would be real swell.
