lmao at jeff sneider leading the woke brigade. did someone at disney not return his call?

July 4 in Russia. The cinematic event of the summer.

Onward travel. Onward rush. Onward trajectory.

such modesty.

You really need a stable system in place that's either like MoviePass except it works or substantially cheaper theater tickets for non-blockbuster fare.

Glad some sanity was restored in this thread over the last few pages

I wouldn't put it past Disney to do Aladdin/TS4 double features tbh. (Their May releases almost always have unnaturally good holds on the June weekend when something from Pixar comes out, although most of those May films have been PG-13 blockbusters, making them less of a direct competition). After the next two weekends it should be a smooth sailing.

> complains that critics aren't validating the audience's tastes > states that critics have a responsibility to be honest and independent

Tried reading the reviews to find out?

how could anyone fuck up that premise?

Ad Astra called, said it's sorry but that spot's taken.

Saw Wick. Good stuff but the downtime alotted to mythology was a lot more entertaining in the second one, here the movie doesn't so much pause as stop when that stuff has to happen. Weird structure too, there-and-back-again rather than constant escalation. All the best action is in the first half, although it's a pleasure to see Dacascos and the Raid dudes.

Wonderful movie. Funny, immensely empathetic, and honest about the difficulty of just getting through the day without being defeatist about it.

The culture of a "breastaurant", the day-to-day experience of working in one, the relationships between managers and workers and between all of them and the clientele (and, in this case, by extension between women and men), and the position capitalism puts working people and particularly women in.

@baumer what if I believe Endgame doesn't pass 845?

the fully CG humans, food and Paris are going to be G R O U N D B R E A K I N G

But Rorschach. What if we take MORE stories that were expressly designed to work best (or even at all) in animation... and just don't give a shit about that?

They don't do that anywhere other than in your imagination.

Good call. If they all happen three non-embarrassing nominees is already better than what we had in 2015 and 2018.

Banderas and Di Caprio our first two contenders people have actually seen.
