Me and @MrPink are at this Subway and he's treating, come on over.

Give me modern day Heaven's Gate.

OG Toy Story and The Incredibles are overall my favorites but to my mind the last 20 minutes of Ratatouille is Pixar's finest moment.

Because it made a lot more money over the weekdays than those two.

It's getting released in CIS countries on that date but not in Russia itself.

Eyes Wide Shut is the only correct answer for the best Tom Cruise movie.

Anthony Hopkins was singled out for praise in every Armageddon Time review I read and given the character type (wise, beloved, morally upstanding Grandpa) it shouldn't take much for him to get another nod.

As with Titane, going wide(-ish) right away is best because it's not gonna be an audience-building WOM player. Cronenberg heads / reviews-following movie buffs already know they want to see it, might as well get what money you can from them especially on an otherwise empty weekend.

Some of us are still in our twenties, man

Triangle of Sadness won the Palme d'Or and Broker best actor for Song Kang-ho. Both are distributed by Neon in the US so will presumably get an Oscar push, although neither has overwhelming Drive My Car-level acclaim that would make them serious contenders. James Gray has now been in competition 5 times and has won nothing but Armageddon Time's initial reception seems solid enough that maybe he can finally break into the Oscars especially since for once he's got a distributor that won't bury his movie.

Shrek 2 was not Paramount. Dreamworks still distributed its movies itself at that point.

Was prompted by Liotta's passing to finally watch Something Wild. Exhilarating.

Frank T.J. Mackey: The MeToo Years.

Obviously this'll deliver on the spectacle but I do miss the relatively uncomplicated pre-Fallout days when these things didn't take themselves so seriously and didn't all have to be monuments to 60-year-old Tom Cruise fighting off his existential crisis.

- (-) Uncharted Sony Pictures $160,000 +2,553% +454% 1,253 $128 $146,802,769 85 Sony thinking they could get Uncharted to 150m

The Batman would have topped out near 375m even without the early Max release, its trajectory by then was quite clear and consistent.

Not sure if 27 pages' worth of deleted posts in this thread is a lot or surprisingly little.

Doctor Strange in the Puerto Rico of Madness.

It’s been confirmed (via a Prod Weekly listing) that Forest Whitaker, Cate Blanchett, Jon Voight, Zendaya, Michelle Pfeiffer, Jessica Lange, and James Caan will all star in Francis Ford Coppola’s “Megalopolis.” Filming will take place September 12 - February 1 in New York. That’s a whopping 6 months of shooting. Coppola isn’t messing around with his long-gestating passion project. This is said to be an epic film and production will be just as epic. The listing even has an actual plot synopsis for the film https://www.worldofreel.com/blog/2022/5/4w1cz4t4fq0vzvwbepiwoq1ca4ltsh

I lost my fucking mind from how awful Tom Burke was. Still haven't fully recovered.
