  1. People complaining about the Aliens made me laugh. Reincarnation and ghost spirits in a box is fine but aliens is where people drew the line? It got the most stick for that despite being more realistic than the others
  2. But Spielberg got so much shit by a bunch of idiots after that last movie that he probably thinks he's too old to deal with all the toxic fanboys when the movie doesn't live up to their unrealistic expectations. I wouldn't bother either if i was him
  3. But acting frightened is just one of the basics. It seems everyone is jumping the gun because they like this actress, everyone seemed to be praising her before the film was released. Personally i was more impressed with the horror in Tom Hanks' face at the end of Captain Phillips than I was with the main actress in films like US or Hereditary. You can say it's not true but it's just my opinion and I'm not seeing many oscar nominations for these movies so I'm clearly not alone here.
  4. Performances in a horror are not subtle so really not as impressive or impactful as an actor nailing a drama.
  5. Maybe governments don't want to do everything in their power to contain a virus as it may go against some people's human rights.
  6. Yeah Spielberg hasn't made a great crowd pleasing blockbuster in years. I like Mangold as a choice. Spielberg should make more movies like Bridge of Spies
  7. The Irishman hands down How can it get better reviews than Wolf of Wall Street is beyond me. Seemed like a movie they ccouldn't be bothered to cut as they knew it was going straight to Netflix
  8. Personally I think Zack Snyder is actually very talented on a technically side, he just can't be trusted to add any narrative ideas to his films. Working with Disney would be good for him as they tend to micro-direct their movies. I'd be interest to see another Zack Snyder blockbuster with a good screenplay and him kept on a tight leash
  9. This. It baffles me how people think having Ricky is a bad thing. He made the shows funny and memorable
  10. Providing Mel Gibson doesn't take it from him
  11. Is it unheard of? Avatar, Black Panther and BR were in the same boat. If they have to choose between popularity and a golden statue, popularity should win every time.
  12. I spent just as much time on this forum downplaying Endgame's performance when people claimed it was more impressive than Avatar's so that argument holds little weight. It's also fine to disagree with posts if we feel people are over exaggerating just how shocking it's success really is.
  13. But surely if you know your film features the most iconic villain in the biggest genre in cinema right now and it's going to be made for a tiny budget of 50m you'd think they would take the risk and finance the whole movie? I don't know how financing works but maybe they have to co-finance all their films to maintain a healthy relationship with other companies? If they just pick and choose every film maybe it would rub the other suppliers the wrong way knowing how much profit they are missing out on.
  14. If you were in charge of a multi billion dollar company would you let Joker stand on it own? Or maximise profits?
  15. Because IM3 came off the success and hype of the first Avengers movie where-as Civil War came out after the disappointing Age of Ultron. Civil War turning things around was a bigger shock to me than the Jokers performance today.
