    I put it in there when one of the creatives of a project outs themselves as a garbage transphobe. In this case, Gina Carano outed herself as a garbage transphobe a couple days ago.

    Good to know.

     

    I just searched this and it's really a fuss over her putting "beep/boop" in her Twitter profile??

     

    I dont see how that's "transphobic", it is just making fun of the way some people have signatures. The number of times I'm at work and I see email signatures saying "My pronouns are She/Her/Hers" like YEAH what the fuck did you think i was gonna call you, Susan???

    Its just daft and Carano is clearly making a joke out of it.

    One: Phoenix isn't exactly broke.

     

    Two: You really think Phoenix getting a 6-7 film deal with Marvel would be less than he'd be getting for a 2 film deal for two indie-budget sized DC movies?

     

    Three: It's the mirror, so it's fucking fake anyways.

    LOL imagine calling Joker an indie budget movie. estimated $200M budget for production & marketing. You're funny.

    Rowling made some valid claims about some of the transgender movement and was not transphobic IMO.

     

    But NOW she comes up with a new book where the serial killer is a transvestite man who dresses as a woman to kill other women? 

     

    I almost feel this is the most elaborate prank on us...I'm sorry....but for Rowling to go this route is so ridiculous. Come on, Rowling...you were and are largely an inspiration but this is ridiculous. 

     

    At this point, cancel FB3. Rowling, Depp, and Ezra are too controversial. Let a new director come in with a new writer and write the series. Rowling almost seems like she's intent on shitting on her legacy.

     

    THIS is the hill you choose to die on, Rowling? What a shame...so pointless. All the valid reasons she had just flew out the window.

    Her gender is clearly important to her. She is allowed to write about subjects she feels passionately about.

  4. No one will know what cut the director takes. Its all speculation.

     

    Personally I doubt that "Warner Bros deliberately tried to lose money with Tenet because they gained money back from Nolans cut", that seems unlikely.

     

    WB have various reasons / incentives to release Tenet at the time that they did.

     

    Just speaking my mind here but if Tenet ends up with $350M then that's pretty good and not much less than I thought it was gonna gross pre-COVID.

    As many others have speculated, IMO its likely that WB expected that Tenet would underperform at the box office so it got released now and can take the hit under the label of "Covid caused it to lose money".

    Why do you think the situation will be any better next year? 

    Because this whole thing will be over at some point next year when either: 1) vaccine is widely available; or 2) everyone has already caught it

     

    Vaccine IS coming, just don't know for sure when. I personally think a dependable, safe vaccine will be made by the end of this year. Others think it will take longer etc.

     

    But regardless, can delay the movie till next year, or 2022, whenever doesn't really matter tbh. My point is the same .

    Captain Marvel was also a prequel, just because it’s set in the past doesn’t mean Black Widow won’t set up things for the future of the MCU. 

    Uhh... Exactly my point..

    Captain Marvel (2019) had jack shit to do with Endgame. It was a back story.

     

    Forget the Captain Marvel film exists and Endgame is the exact same film. 

     

    Don't pretend for a second like the people who watched Endgame without seeing CM (over half the audience) didn't understand Captain Marvel when she was introduced in Endgame...

    Give it time and the box office will transform like Optimus Prime. Few people know that theaters are open. Lockdown going for 6 months has caused behavior changes by consumers to be much more permanent. What we REALLY need is multiple high profile films in a relatively short period of time. The combined advertising and interest in them will really jumpstart things. 

     

    Vaccine + Death on Nile, Black Window, and Bond in a 4 week span will be very helpful. 

    You think a coronavirus vaccine is going to be out by the release date of Death on the Nile? In 5 weeks time?

    Exactly Iger and now Chapek have reiterated many times that streaming is their number one priority and while this may be sacrilege to say on a box office forum Falcon and the Winter Soldier and WandaVision are much more important to Disney right now than Black Widow. If it was Endgame sure they’d wait that out until market conditions improve but I’m getting the sense that one of the MCU shows needs to drop around the end of the year or early next year (particularly as they will be in Latin America in November and are starting to rollout in SEA right now) and they may just have to put out Black Widow however they can for that to work. 

    Black Widow is a prequel. It doesn't matter if it's released today or in 3 years time. Obviously there will be some small connections to upcoming Marvel shows/movies but Black Widow is the one single MCU film which isn't actually constrained by its release slot.

    You do realize that most of the west coast is burning right now, right? That people’s homes are burning, that people have died, that the orange sky means we’re all breathing some of the worst air in the world right now? 

    No, I didn't know that. 

     

    I'm looking now at a news article about it. That's a lot of fires. I'm sorry to hear that.

     

    Is this just because it's been a really hot summer in America or for other reasons?

    Mulan is gonna be the far and away bigger financial bomb...it's already used its prime secondary revenue stream DOM, whereas Tenet still has somewhere to go to make more money DOM after theatrical...

     

    Although the fact that Tenet will exceed Mulan's BO in China - there's peak 2020...

     

    Disney should be kicking themselves for not releasing mulan in cinemas. Honestly pathetic.

    I didn't claim he isn't Pakistani. I explcitily said "Pakistani-American"

     

    And I think he is American citizen now and not more a Pakistani than some one like Sundar Pichai is Indian.

    so what? You can have dual nationality. you can be of one nationality and move to another country.

    but I get it. Kumail has appeal to american audiences. A Hasan Minhaj have more chance to get the role than actual Indian actor, but ironical move to cast Pakistani-American actor as Bollywood star, in reality Pakistani artists are banned since last 4 years.

    Why are you claiming that he is not Pakistani? He is Pakistani.

     

    You go on about this all the time Jat. What is wrong with you? I might as well say that you're not an Indian because you are here on an American web forum!

At 18, he moved to the U.S. and enrolled at Grinnell College in Grinnell, Iowa, where he graduated in 2001 with a double major in computer science and philosophy.[2][12][13]
