We have John Wick, the only good franchise

yeah Parasite's PTA is dropping fast. enough juice in the tank for one more expansion next weekend but even then it won't get to 20m without a Best Picture nod and subsequent re-expansion. still a strong result ofc and distributors better learn the right lesson from it.

Funny how something being political only becomes a problem for people when they no longer agree with the politics

tfw you're woke

T2 still got a major chunk of its impact from the pure horror tension of an unstoppable relentless force pursuing the heroes. If you're just gonna make needless Terminator movies, might as well save money by concentrating on the thriller aspect of it and using the effects sparingly and for maximum effect (but then, of course, you'd probably need an actual filmmaker who has the skill and intelligence to do that, rather than a hack surrounded by an army of producers and writers and VFX people...) I feel like watching people get chased and survive is more fundamentally appealing in this franchise than watching crazily expensive set-pieces.

Releases here on Nov 7. Even then, I wasn't actually planning on seeing it...

well then.

these are all worth your time, esp. The Pirate, The Band Wagon and On the Town

Maybe more would be if the studios cared about supporting them.

PSA: see The Pirate. Absolutely not optional

i guess it is of interest to see how full of shit they are

I dunno I'd just like for these guys to be able to make whatever they feel like making. There are some indelible things in all of their respective English-language films, and with e.g. Park I liked Stoker better than some of his Korean works. Haven't seen The Little Drummer Girl but it looked like he knocked that out of the park too.

guess the sites

I'd expect Knives Out to make screenplay. Di Caprio vs Murphy vs Sandler could get interesting. Awkwafina would have a real chance to win in comedy/musical if submitted

Don't feed the troll.

But what if it takes his first experience with Mann to finally turn Ansel into a good actor?

Nice bit of shade from him
