dovescowbell.Sorry! Had to do it.
Oh, and the trailer was okay. Nothing special. Although I am intrigued by what little it showed of Harbor. It looks like he will be a fun character.

This is chick-flick extraordinaire, along the lines of Mama Mia, but with a greater theatrical history. I think it will do Greatest Showman numbers at the very least.

Even if you are joking it's very weird you said this considering, Rachel Zegler, the lead is Colombian and polish and David Alvarez who plays Bernardo is Cuban. Unlike them Ariana actually is Puerto Rican.
I agree, it is weird that I said that. And your response to my weird post is weird. The whole conversation is weird. That's the point.

So they couldn't cast a full-blooded Puerto Rican actress to play this part? Hollywood racism persists.
SpoilerI'm kidding about that, btw.

That "#WhateverItTakes" mantra is so weird. Whatever it takes to... help a multi-billion conglomerate film break another record? I can get wanting it to take the record, but phrasing it like it's an obligation for the fans feels pretty gross.

What I understand she said: it’s not okay what happened in the past but we are not going to fix it by only hiring minorities for all major roles (the pendulum swing). And I think that’s correct. She is not saying that it (prevalence of minority actors) is happening right now nor that they shouldn’t get all the roles they deserve.
Correct. And thanks!

Aquaman is an intensely stupid movie, with what should have been wondrous world-building moments, undercut by said stupidity. But it's still engaging, as well as fun and beautiful. I don't know how Wan managed that, but he did. And Momoa strutting around in the traditional Aquaman duds is worth the price of admission alone. Numbers!

Yes, go and rewatch it. Edith is about the pinnacle of Tony's AI system, IT, communication, and the control of global satellites and weaponization of drones etc etc. BARF is the subset about hologram. Beck was involved with BARF only, that was why he had to get help from other Ex-Stark Industry employees in a few other areas e.g. William Riva with the drones/weapons. But certainly all the ex-employees combined were still far behind what Tony managed to achieve in his later life. Thus the need for a convoluted plan to deceive Peter to give away Edith.
NUH UH!!! Just kidding. Fortunately, I have tickets to see it again tomorrow. If I learn that you're right, I'll buy you a cupcake. Only thing is, I'll have to eat if for you.

EDITH is not his technology, B.A.R.F is.
EDITH is based on BARF, which Beck accused Stark of stealing from him, before summarily firing him. At least that's what I understood from the heavy exposition during Mysterio's victory party. I'll have to watch it again to be sure.
-
I don't believe for a single second that Beck is dead. He's the master of illusion and EDITH is his technology. I think he tweaked EDITH to have it tell Parker that what he was seeing, a dead Beck, was real. Beck will likely be phase four's, and maybe five's, Loki.

The MCU will make sure that the X-Men arise from the ashes of its firey demise.

Rocketman coming out (pun intended) on the first weekend of Pride Month makes crazy sense for its first-month legs.
That, actually, does make sense. Thanks!

I don't understand why the respective studios decided to release Rocketman, Booksmart, and even MA during the summer. Those movies seem more appropriate for October - March than competing with tentpoles and blockbusters. I get the whole counterprogramming realm, but the current release dates really make no sense to me in the grand scheme of things.

This doesn't seem like a movie most would want to see in the theaters during the summer. Maybe they should have given it a February release?

I have a serious question for those of you who understand the ins-and-outs of tracking box office earnings. Endgame's opening weekend introduced us to uncharted territory by defying the "no movie can make 300m in it's OW" framework. With that being the case, can we really use the traditional understanding of a movie's legs when judging Endgame's week-to-week performance or is some sort of paradigm shift in order?

Using your definition style, Endgame is another routine outing of people and creatures with impossible physical abilities to save the world from its greatest threat since the last time using a deus ex machina to give them a chance so as not to make it seem like a carbon copy of the previous film. In fact, that summary can be tweaked just slightly to describe just about every superhero movie.
LonePirate, I don't engage in enough conversations here at BOT to consider myself accustomed to how members typically communicate with each other, so I am legitimately baffled by your response to my post. My post had nothing to do with Endgame or any other superhero movie, but everything to do with how off-putting I considered Long Shot's trailer and, by extension, was agreeing with whomever I quoted that Lionsgate did a miserable job of promoting the movie.

I'm sad about this beating Titanic and Avatar, but we are in the era of the cbm and sequels. Long are the days where an original movie broke records. It is what it is

It would've been nearly impossible to open anything this weekend but Long Shot's marketing was atrocious.
Movies like Long Shot aren't my cup of tea, but if they were, the trailer would have done nothing to entice me to see it. It left me with the impression that the movie is another routine schmuck-and-out-of-his-league-beauty-fall-in-love story with a loud sidekick thrown in to make an unfunny movie seem like it's funny.

That bolded part in spades! They should have made a comic book version of Bonnie & Clyde.
