I was just gonna say this. People love to play revisionist history now with it, but the first film had lots of competition and people said it was gonna get destroyed. Years later people say "the competition was weak" and that's why it did well. Looking back,between December 14th and 25th you had: Into the Spider Verse Mortal engines The mule Mary Poppins Bumblebee Vice Holmes and Watson Welcome to marwen The Favorite Mary Queen of Scots That's a wide, diverse slate. I recall Mary Poppins especially being proclaimed early as the one that would sweep the season.

In fairness, that's far more to do with James Wan than WB. And he packed his bags and is gone now. -

I love the Conjuring universe. I wish we got 1 every year. I miss having a yearly horror franchise. -
He said Ben affleck was wanting to direct a film for him and then Ben flat out said publicly he wasn't interested. Either Gal or Gunn is lying about the wonder woman stuff. Gunn said actors would not play multiple characters, but hired fillion for green lantern after already playing a character in TSS. I can keep going.

Went and saw Strays tonight and sadly got hit with my first bad audience experience I've had in years. I go every week to the movies so that's a pretty good deal to not happen for so long. Sure people will talk a bit or take out a phone once in a while but its never been anything sustained through a movie to be an annoyance to ruin the movie. But tonight there was a group of girls in there 20s, and they were chit chatting and playing on their phones and not paying attention. They weren't being overtly loud or obnoxious so I chose to ignore it. Unfortunately about 15 minutes in a group of guys joined them and they all got loud, obnoxious and horrible. Just completely disrespectful. It went on for about 10 minutes before I had enough and yelled at them to stfu, I paid to watch a movie not listen to them. Told them the next person I hear talking or on their phone is getting my drink on them. They mostly shut up after, but 2 of the guys came into my row and sat near me. I figured they were gonna approach me after the movie but nothing escalated thankfully. Didn't really get to enjoy the movie much because I let my anger get the best of me and felt like I had to be on alert in case they pressed the issue.
