Lmao twitter reactions will be gold if it passes Oppenheimer 😭😭
Oppenheimer isn’t even the highest grossing R-rated film.

To be fair, if trying to hide a group of people dislike for something isn't censorship (especially as they likely do this to protect companies), I'm not sure what it could be called.
Not saying the decision to hide "dislikes" was necessarily bad. I could just see why it's called censorship.
It’s not like they removed the dislike button. People are still free to dislike videos. It’s just no longer visible to the public.

I used to be against YouTube’s decision to make the dislikes private, but looking back, that was probably one of the rare occasions where they had the right idea.

Is every CBM this year going to have their threads derailed into a Taylor Swift discussion at some point?
-
This thread is somehow a bigger shitshow now than it was before the trailer dropped.

I'm pretty sure they changed all this after the exacerbation at Gaza. And it's not like every character that makes it to the movies is faithful to their comics counterpart so don't see what difference it would have made changing her name (unless there's some unknown Sabra fanbase I'm unaware of)
I mean that I don’t know why they’d even go through the trouble of adapting such a controversial character if they’re gonna radically change her anyway. Might as well have not even bothered in the first place.

It sounds like they’re completely removing Ruth Sabra’s connections to the IDF. Frankly though, this does beg the question of why they didn’t just have her be a different character entirely.

So the scoopers were off by a single day. I’d like to think Disney did that on purpose.

This debate has gone on longer than I would’ve ever imagined.

I’m guessing this will get a trailer in the Fall, followed by Thunderbolts in December and Fantastic Four with the Super Bowl.

I wonder, if Cameron ever loses interest or is otherwise indisposed, unable to film parts 4 and 5...
Which of the current directors would be best equipped to mimic his style? Here i am not asking about people's favorite directors who would leave their own mark on the movies. But someone so good at mimicking Cameron as a director that most people could not tell the difference.
Personally, even though i have a few imperfect ideas, (kosinski, cuaron) i don't have a name who'd be a perfect fit.
It seems like the simple choice would be Robert Rodriguez.

Ah yes, the old "rap is crap" crowd definitely is a liberal type.
Also, not a single word of Kanye in the portion of the song used.
Never denied that conservatives have a long-standing stigma against rap. I just thought they were willing to make exceptions for the rappers who say what they want to hear.

I legitimately find it very hard to believe that this many people organically and independently hated the trailer music that much. Either people are seeing comments and piling on because they feel that's the natural critique when doing a post, or there's some sort of active conservative coordination against it. But I'll say flat out I do not believe regular viewers including many on this board saw the trailer and thought "wow bad music" until they read the comments here and felt they were supposed to say that.
Wouldn’t conservatives be more likely to like the song, given that it’s Kanye? Or do they hate him now?

One of those High Tech Billoniaire famalies.
Oracle is one of the founding companies of the modern high tech world right up there with Micorsoft and Apple, though they like to keep a lower profile.
The geeks everybody laughed at in High School back in the 60;s now control the universe,
That implies these “geeks” even went to public high schools.

Hopefully this simply means that they’re gonna wait a little longer to release it. Releasing it less than two months after the previous movie was always a weird idea.

Well, that sucks.

What the hell is going on right now?

Why would anyone think putting a Kanye song in your trailer is a good idea in 2024? It also seems distinctly hypocritical coming from Paramount.
To be clear, I’m not saying this will negatively impact the movie. It’s just a bafflingly tone-deaf idea, given all of Kanye’s controversies over the past few years. Then again, I suppose Paramount is pretty good at not reading the room.

That’s earlier than a lot of other big studio movies this year. I guess they’re pretty confident.

Well, Skydance did also hire John Lassetter, so I guess it tracks.

This is definitely the movie of 2024 that I’m most interested in following the box office for.

The Ellison family is very rich. Buying Paramount is like a morning coffee for them.
David's father Larry is a co-owner of Oracle, which has a net worth of $400 billion now. Paramount is valued at $8 billion.
Ah, one of those billionaire families. Lovely…
Well, at least it wasn’t Sony.
-
How much money did Skydance have that they were able to essentially buy a major Hollywood studio?
Anyway, one would hope that this will be the last of these big Hollywood mergers, but that’s probably too optimistic.

Do I need to watch the second film in order to watch this?
I wouldn’t say you need to, but it does tie-in with the second film in certain ways.

This is still filming? What is going on? Yeah, I know, strikes and all, but they ended back in November, and they were filming before that.
