    Let’s not conveniently forget Mr & Mrs Smith. That film was gigantic, solely on star power with her and Pitt being an on screen couple. 

     

    If you think that would've been as big as it was with Pitt and any other actress, then you need your head examined. 

    Excuse me, but everyone knows that Mr. and Mrs. Smith was successful only because of the script by child prodigy Simon Kinberg.

    Her only success this decade has been the live action Sleeping Beauty. Literally not one acclaimed or successful project in almost an entire decade. :apocalypse:

    Yeah, how dare she attempts a career as an indie director, instead of taking paycheck role after paycheck role.

    Not a HP fan? I was skeptical and then became a huge HP Stan. Read all the books, listened to all of the audio books (incredible) and watched/own all of the blur rays

     

    In the top 100 I have not seen

     

    It (remake only, saw original)

    Minions

    Fifty Shades

    Passion of the Christ

     

    Can someone tell me when the word "stan" became a thing? I understand what it means, but I never heard it until a month ago and now it's all over the god damn internet.

    It's their job as Filmmakers to know what we want. It obviously wasn't this. Maybe it's impossible to adapt this, who knows, but maybe Hooper and his team just failed horribly. 

    While I agree this film looks like an abomination, I disagree with your first sentence. The job of a filmmaker is to tell a compelling visual story. Many times that story involves challenging the audience, not suckering up to the audience.

    I don't know exactly what some people wanted though.

     

    Did you expect photorealistic Favreau-type Cats dancing like humans? I mean if people think this is terrifying, that would have been some Exorcist level business.

     

    It was either make something like this; film the stage production - which they've already done; or just not make it - and not making things apparently isn't a thing that is an option any more.

     

    And I, for one, am delighted this now exists. Seriously, imagine if this hadn't happened. What misery.

     

    I mean alternatively they could have had them just in Cat onesies, but it hardly would have helped the dancing and I'm holding out on humans in animal onesies and theme park style facepaint for the Robin Hood live action. 

    Not this movie. I'm pretty sure most people didn't want a Cats movie, in part because of how stupid it would end up looking.

    This looks like a mod of The Sims 2 on Windows XP.

    Also, I'm heading to the "Endgame" thread to brag about this, but I want some form of currency from each and every person who insisted to me that the MCU was now a multiverse, that there are now like forty-two different Steve Rogers running around, and that tHe RuSsO BrOtHeRS cOnFiRmEd tHe MuLtIvErSe iS ReAl AnD yOu'Ll sEE iN "FaR FrOm HoMe."

    Multiverse was already introduced in Doctor Strange.

     

    People keep forgetting this...

    They were talking about the Kingsmen series being the new 007 until the second film underperformed at the box office.

    There have been other successful spy franchises, but none have come close to toppling Bond from his throne.

    Hold up, you're telling me that people were declaring that Kingsman, after 1 film (that made less than 50% of Skyfall and Spectre global), had supplanted the Bond franchise as cinema's marquee spy franchise?

     

    I call BS on your narrative.

    There are certainly people who would try to find out, but how would they get the information? There were no civilian witnesses. It was a bunch of superheroes, aliens, Wakandans, and sorcerers. There is no indication as of Far From Home that the public is by and large aware that Spider-Man is an Avenger. 

     

    Iron Man died. They obviously had to report his death. Why would they mention Spider-Man specifically when there were hundreds if not thousands of people at the battle? 

    How did anyone know that Ant-Man, Winter Soldier, Falcon, Black Panther, or Scarlet Witch were involved with the last battle? As far as I know, Black Panther is still supposed to be a secret (?), Winter Soldier was a global public enemy, and who the hell knows Ant-Man? Surely Spider-Man is as well known in New York as Ant-Man was among.... whomever in San Fran. How does the public know these peeps (two of them not avengers) did anything of importance?

     

    I use these people specifically because they are shown in the high-school news report recap of Endgame.
