with a parasite! also hey Tarantino got the Palm Dog.

Doesn't Banderas' win disqualify the movie from winning anything else. Or at least the Palme

They awarded screenplay, director and jury prize already so it's either the palme or grand prix now.

I'm also angry he didn't consult me tbh.

I'm sure 100m in the original question also means "100m or more".

idk. but post-Black Panther nothing would stop him if he did.

Concepts can still sell. See A Quiet Place, Get Out, Crazy Rich Asians. And concepts + right/recognizable people can definitely sell (Gravity-Interstellar-Martian, The Revenant, Us, etc.)

Tarantino. Cameron could obviously do it if he wanted to. Abrams, Coogler, Wan could also presumably leverage their massive recent franchise successes to get originals financed.

Naturally. Doesn't make it any less exasperating. (It's almost as if capitalism sucks.)

Night at the Museum 2 was the biggest PG-rated memorial day opener until now.

Hollywood put itself into that corner. Nothing actually stops them from creating, promoting and encouraging the audience to be interested in something original and exciting, except for their own fear of not making as much money doing that.

I know it may sound crazy but how about... not remaking stuff

The Other Side of the Wind, Buster Scruggs, High Flying Bird, Private Life, I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House

Live action The Wild. For once there wouldn't be any gap in quality cause even in live action it can't be any worse.

I can't believe I'm about to say this but at least the Transformers films were made by a fucking madman who you couldn't mistake for anyone else. This is what Disney has wrought. I'm defending Michael Bay

week 5 no

Drug War, the first Raid, John Wick 2.

It shouldn't even be something we have to forget. It's a non-issue. If the director of Jackie Brown, Kill Bill and Basterds had thought his new story would be improved by more dialogue for the main female character, I'd think he would have written some.

not wading into twitter to confirm but I'm gonna guess N word, feet shots, Weinstein association, Polanski comments, etc.

Post 2000 would have LOTR at the top.

you said it

I'll take Herrmann, Goldsmith, Morricone all over Williams.
