So if Christopher is Papa Nolan, what does that make Jonathan? 🤔🤔🤔

Maybe I'm missing something here, but I didn't expect much from Candyman even back in 2019. Peele's name aside, Candyman was never that popular of a horror series to begin with (I never even heard of it prior to this new movie's announcement) and while I think the film looks good, nothing about the trailers make me think it was going to be some massive breakout. When the trailer dropped, more people were talking about Nia DaCosta's name not being credited on the trade's headlines than the movie itself IIRC (which I fully supported and was all for I might add), so I don't really think people were buzzing that much for the movie itself. Could very well be wrong though, and I'm rooting for it regardless

Genuinely amazed they went so hard on this for an M&Ms commercial

A pity. Tully and especially Young Adult are phenomenal. Young Adult in particular has quickly become one of my favorite movies of all time.

Wish I liked this more than I did. Rebecca Hall is astounding and the sound design is incredible, barring one obnoxiously loud music cue that gave me a headache. But while the screenplay isn't bad, and there's some good scares here, I don't think it gels as well as it should have. The film ends with the main theme supposedly being about depression and it doesn't feel like it earned it? By the time we get to the climax, I was thinking to myself, "oh I guess that's what the movie is about?" It's also weird how the mirror world is implied to be metaphorical and as if it's really happening? If it was one or the other I would have been fine, but it felt like the movie was trying to have it both ways and it's just kinda weird.

What the heck was taking Disney (and also Lionsgate) so long?

I saw a bunch of Gen Zers dunk on Girl Meets World a couple months ago, and it led me to these clips How Disney Channel executives looked at these scripts and said to themselves, "yeah this is fine to air" will forever baffle me

I mean, I'm sure somebody here will find themselves watching this for some reason

There's actually a very solid amount of Mandarin throughout the film. I'd say like 15% of the dialogue is Mandarin? I know that doesn't sound like a lot, but there are still a couple scenes where no English is said at all. It's actually kind of nice to see from what is still a Hollywood production.

I'm also ditching the "First X Days" stuff for Black Widow, as it'll get things more convoluted. Either way, the big fan rush has finally died down, but both current comps should continue to rise, as Shang-Chi closes the gap and because TSS really sold poorly up until the reviews dropped later on in its sales cycle.
