    They didn't form the right connections and/or didn't capitalize on the right opportunities :popcorn:

    Like you mentioned, Blake is very popular amonf certain demographics and I think most people recognize her from something. I don't remember any girl in my class who didn't watch Gossip Girl. It faded towards the end, but Blake definitely went for opportunities that gave her more exposure. She also did Sisterhood of Traveling Pants, which is what I first saw her in.

     

    The only other actor from Gossip Girl that I think is deserving of a break is Leighton Meester. Her Blair Waldorf made that show, but unfortunately she ended up doing that Monte Carlo movie while Blake did The Town. And now she's on a TV show I think. Maybe that's what she prefers though...

    Sony must have something good to get these awesome actors (Tom, Riz, Michelle) interested. At least I hoping it's good.

     

    I get that some people are apprehensive about linking/not linking this (and the other Sony movies) to the MCU, but I don't really see what the big deal is. Sony has the rights to these characters, so it's expected that they have stories they want to tell with them and want to make money too. We can't expect them to pay Marvel to do everything for them. So I'm optimistic about this movie and aside from the production delay, everything about it sounds great.

    Unless they get talent like Lord and Miller, it'll be trash.

    I'm thinking more like Emoji. So sub 10%.

    I'm not sure how much RT will matter for a movie like this. Emoji Movie still did pretty well despite its score. Again, they have a built in audience for this and as long as they keep it tied with the show (which it appears Ninjago didn't really do), it should be fine. I'm not interested in it, and likely won't see it as the only kid I'm around doesn't watch/like TTG.

    So the films more dumb forgettable fun in a year where a lot of movies could be labeled that? Okay...don't know why critics are blaming the film for that.

     

    Exactly. The first one was fun but mostly forgettable outside of the church scene. If this one is similar to that, then it should be fine. It'll likely fall to the same or lower RT rating. I guess when a movie unexpectedly breaks out, people tend to give it a greater credit than it deserves and hold the sequels to ridiculous expectations.

    Hod do you recognize someone who doesn't like or care for superhero movies ?

    Their favorite superhero trilogy is the Dark Knight : best Trilogy Evah Bruh !

    I love most superhero movies and do consider the Dark Knight my favorite superhero trilogy lol. I think there are enough comic book adaptations that people will gravitate to what they like. Fans of the MCU like their movies for what they are, as you stated. And fans of other superhero movie universes like those movies for what they are, as different as they are from the MCU. There shouldn't be one way to adapt comic books, variety is a good thing.

    Jennifer Lawrence Reveals Why She's Taking a Break From Hollywood

    I assumed she meant that as a joke since she has to promote Red Sparrow in a few months anyway and will likely be in Dark Phoenix. Isn't she relatively quiet when she's not shooting/promoting a movie?

    I'm still planning on seeing this, and I haven't read the spoilers. The divisive reactions makes me very curious about what mine will be. Hopefully I'll finally get my MoviePass card at some point so I can watch mother! before it leaves the theaters.

     

    Also surprised to learn that Drive had mismarketing/low CinemaScore. The trailers didn't seem misleading to me and I felt I got the movie I was expecting, which I loved. Hopefully mother! will be the same.

    The Upside (Intouchables Remake) | Jan 11 2019 | STX picks it up | Bryan Cranston and Kevin Hart. Neil Burger to direct.

    I didn't know this was being remade, but Kevin Hart is not who I'd expect to be cast as the caretaker. And I wonder why the release date is so far away if the movie has already been screened for critics.

    Spoiler

    “The Upside” isn’t a serious or credible treatment of the disabled, just as it isn’t a serious or credible film about bridging the racial divide, because, like “The Intouchables,” it turns its based-on-a-true-story premise into clichéd and synthetic handkerchief-soaker. But Hart gets to open up into a rangier performance that adds sincerity and heart to his manically funny persona, which still gets plenty of latitude. And after a series of grim roles post-“Breaking Bad,” Cranston rediscovers the mischievousness that he hasn’t accessed enough since “Malcolm in the Middle.” He can only move his neck and his face, but he plays Phil with a disarming glint in the eye.

     

    So little has been done to update or refresh “The Intouchables” for American culture or a new audience that “The Upside” has no integrity as a separate piece of work. The casting alone is all that’s keeping it from sinking into a cynical act of franchise burnishing. That may be enough for the Weinsteins to return their investment, but Hart and Cranston deserve a better vehicle than this used model.

    Projector scene was good but I thought Richie in the room full of clowns was well done. 

    The projector scene was the scariest. The clown room was more creepy than scary. I kept waiting for the clowns to move and It wasn't as bad. Was peaking through my fingers for both scenes though.
