That ending had my whole audience in tears.

@Firepowercan you PM? Or anyone else. Thank you kindly.

Venom was the most fun I think I've seen him have on camera and by all accounts he loves the role.

I watch a lot of older films from the 20s to the 50s and a lot of them are under 90 minutes. Some are just an hour. A lot of modern movies are needlessly bloated. Feel the same show about tv shows tbh. Some of them have about 6 or 7 episodes worth of plot but have 12 episodes. But, in reference to Venom 2, well if it's a few less scenes of Michelle William's sleeping through this, that's fine by me. I dont think this films quality would improve by another 30 minutes. Gimme 90 minutes of woody and hardy being hammy I'm fine with that. Wasnt expecting much plot from this.

Short run times are fine by me. Cut out all the fat that nobody cares about. If you don't have 2.5 hours of story to tell for the love of god stop padding it with scenes that add nothing. People whine if your movie is 90 minutes and whine if its 180. Apparently only films in the 120-160 range are okay.

I'm sure she would be cool with a person doing a stereotype of a chinese accent. Oh wait. She said that is bad. Huh. Weird.

Guess she should slap on some black face too while she is at it, complete the character. She is a rapper after all that makes it okay.

I'm astounded at this ignorance.

Latest hate trend? She has been called out for this for literally years since she first rose to fame off the back of her offensive caricature. Don't confuse you just hearing about it this week with reality. It's not cancelling someone to want them to apologize and address the issue. Its really tired claiming having legitimate criticism of someone as cancelling them. Nobody is cancelling her. Her career is doing just fine. They simply want her to address the issue.

It feels like WB buries every film nowadays with their tepid and underwhelming marketing campaigns.

So what or who were the rings signaling to?

I just hope Rock actually attempts to act and play the character in this instead of just being the same version of himself he is in every movie lately. I want to see Black Adam.

She is doing it for a pay day and is putting in zero effort. It's a modern Bruce willis esque performance.

Eh, I think if you adapted agent venom or went and made a full out horror film with an R rating you could make a good venom film. But, a lot of times venom was very campy in the comics so these movies fit that.

Angry depp stans?

The fact its low to mids 80s off a film premiere at a festival lends itself to it going to drop. That's the crowd that eats this kind of film up.

Maybe theyll have a complete band to compliment that octopus on drums this time.

I still cant wrap my head around that delay. Went from having little to no competition for weeks to releasing the same day as Halloween and last duel and a week before Dune. Make it make sense Sony. The rumored January delay I could have understood at least. Get the trailer in front of no way home, ride the wave of its success. But nope.

You love when people use fake minstrel black accents to get famous and then ditch the accent when it's not needed because they dont actually talk like that while loudly proclaiming they wont do minstrel accents for asian characters because that would be bad without a hint of self awareness? Cool cool cool.

I will add on another note despite my feelings about the film. My gf and I got there a little early and a younger chinese teen was there by himself a few seats away and started excitedly talking to us about the film. He had strong reactions throughout the whole film and chatted us up after and he adored it. It was a cool little moment and he was so genuinely happy.

I dont think WB knows how to market anything anymore. They went from being of the best if not the best at it, to being inept.

Thought this was just okay. Was a few legitimately great fight scenes sprinkled in the first 2 acts but I thought the drama and plotting was glacially slow and tedious. Awkafina is a triple threat. Terrible rapper, terrible actress and terrible person. She has it all. I find her irritating and this was no different. Worst part of the film for me. The 3rd act for me was great. I wasnt expecting it to be that since I went in pretty blind. It elevated the film for me. Maybe for others it won't work but for me I loved the grandiose mysticism and creatures. Pretty middle of the pack MCU film for me. 6/10

Seeing the movie in an hour. The worldwide number seems not good. Will be curious how the legs are.

Yeah I never understood that one being rated so low either. Solid movie and Kevin Bacon is damn good in it.

A good 4K disc blows away any 4K streaming. But not every 4K release is like that, in fact a lot of them don't so I see why some arent interested. I've found older films like Blade Runner have gotten the biggest bump in 4K. Apple TV+ has the best 4K streaming I haven seen though, its damn good. I think my 4K disc collection is around 100 now, and I would say about 25 of them are ones I cant imagine not watching in this format again. But that leaves 75 that I felt didnt make a significant difference lol. But its definitely diminishing returns for most people. EDIT: I'm actually up to 134 4K discs now.
