    Yeah, this is clearly feels like it was written by Damon Lindelof but I really, really enjoyed it. The politics of the movie is pretty unsubtle and nowhere near as complex as Lindelof's other recent work but I think don't they really care. The movie indulges in its goofiness and works really well as a gory and hilarious movie than a political satire. Betty Gilpin was also great in this. Really fun time.

     

    Edit: Want to make it clear. The movie has a lot of people talking politics in it but it isn't a political movie.

    Is it true that it pokes fun at both sides of the political spectrum? I heard that said about the film a long time ago.

    I honestly think that studios will start making a lot more smaller movies and then releasing them immediately to streaming (as there will be a lot more people waiting for things to come to streaming and physical media now anyways). Also think we will start seeing a lot more Disney+ tv shows. If studios want to keep their universes going that may be the way to do it. Just release tv shows of the universe on to streaming platforms. The days of billion dollar films that they can throw everything at are going to be gone for quite awhile and may never return.

    That last sentence is such a sobering thought.

    The median american married couple with children tend to be among the richest entity on earth:

    That paid way more to see Avatar in 3D and pop-corn when well into a recession. Significantly more than half of them are millionaires.

    Makes sense. These days if people aren't significantly well off they pretty much can't afford to have children at all. I know several of my married couple friends would like to but just can't so they're on strict birth control.

  4. Oh man, what a wonderful movie! Discouraging that it's doing such average business. Yes, COVID-19 is a big part of that but we could see early on that there wasnt much hype behind this one.

     

    Chris Pratt is hilarious in this! Guy is born for voice work, in my opinion. Also, as per usual, Pixar hit it out of the park with with the heart and themes. I was fighting tears almost as much as I was laughing.

     

    All around it was a great time at the theatre, especially under the current circumstances. Add that on top of other stresses in our lives these days and this movie was just what the doctor ordered for my girlfriend and I. Glad we went!

    And I Still Don't Believe.....

    I mused about it opening bigger than ICOI but legging way less. Upon further thought I'm not even convinced about that. ICOI seemed like a one off. Who knows though? This isn't a movie that you can really predict with tracking. Loads of church folks could randomly show up on opening weekend.

  7. Finally watched The Lighthouse last night. A24 really is the best studio in the business and Robert Eggers is a master! Needless to say, Pattinson and Dafoe deliver an acting clinic as well. 

     

    I hope Eggers just keeps on doing period horror films. Not only am I interested in the period settings but I love that he digs right into it with his research and preference for authentic costumes, props, landscapes etc.
