    I never bothered to see it, although I want to now, but how come Moana did far less than Frozen at the box office? When reviews were even better? Didn't capture young girls hearts like Frozen did? I am rewatching Frozen, and damn this is a great movie. I love the little details in the movie, like showing Anna and Elsa have faults/ supposed "oddities" despite being princesses. 

    Moana has become a monster since its theatrical release. Its run has been reminiscent of The Little Mermaid.

    Popular Opinion: Tim Burton lost his spark & became box office poison after Alice In Wonderland

    I rewatched Sleepy Hollow this week and was really stunned at his ability to craft such an interesting interpretation of colonial New England with such rich characters and a genuinely scary antagonist. I don’t know how he has evolved into what he’s shitting out these days.

    Not even Judy Garland at the tail end of her life? I know Judy's singing from her MGM period exclusively, but watching the movie it was easy for me to imagine Renee's voice as a Judy whose powers had been winnowed down by time and abuse. 

    Three years before her death: 

     


    God...she was sensational.

    Great expansion for Judy. My audience yesterday was super old so that's a good sign for legs. @WrathOfHan you have been warned.

     

    Renee's performance in it is the real deal though. Movie will likely have strong staying power just for the WOM surrounding her performance alone.

    Really? The moment she started to sing...I was out. That was not Judy Garland.

  5. TLK soundtrack is bombing. No one is buying/streaming it.

    NEW RELEASES: WHERE THE BATTLE IS

    At this point it appears that Ed Sheeran will repeat at #1 in his second week, and Beyoncé's inspired-by set, Lion King: The Gift, will battle a resurgent Billie Eilish—now approaching her 17th week—for the #2 spot. As for Disney’s actual Lion King soundtrack, so far the film's explosive box office has not translated into mega-streams and/or sales, but we'll keep a close eye on the situation. That said, Bey's Gift is #1 at iTunes and the official ST is #4.

    Beyoncé - Lion King: The Gift (Parkwood/Columbia) 50-70k total activity, 13-18k album
    The Lion King (Walt Disney) 17-20k, 11-14k
    Nas (Mass Appeal/Def Jam) 17-20k, 5-7k

    Gotta admit when I opened this thread and checked the last few pages I was expecting Marvel discussion but not Richard Madden and the debate about whether he's a star or not being at the center of it all. :lol:

    Ugh I’d let him allllll up in my center.

    Glad I wasn't here for AOU, people must have been losing their fucking minds over a not-as-good sequel with no novelty opening to 92% of the predecessor. 

    One poster in particular made that weekend thread a nightmare. Plus, every thread after it.

    Friends was I think the most consistently watched content on Netflix so it's a money maker for them.  The most attractive thing about HBO MAX is their back catalogue (or MGM's film back catalogue)  but at a reported $17-18 a month it's the most costly streamer on the market.

     

    Meanwhile Netflix it losing quite a bit to the studios setting up their own streaming services and a lot of the new content is meh or cancelled too early.  Still, I have 200 things on my "list"   But, it's not looking to be a hard choice to switch to Hulu & Disney + later this year at a lower combined cost.

    Friends was #2 for 2018. The Office was #1.

     

    DC Universe will most definitely dissolve into the new HBOMax service. The shows on that service will be able to live on, thank goodness.
