    It's insane.  Don't ever forget that weeks before TG2 was released, some people at Paramount put out a hit piece on Tom Cruise trying to get him to relent to putting TG2 and MI7 &  MI8 on Paramount+ after 45 days and to stop asking for additionl budget on the final MI movies.  

     

    Cruise, in his infinite wisdom, refused.  If he didn't refuse and caved, then TG2 likely makes $300m less WW and same with  MI:7 and MI:8.  It was nearly a $1b mistake.  

     

    Having long, sustained and adjustable windows for theatrical is the best way forward.  Anyone who can't see that at these studios by now needs to get shit canned. 

    The new South Park Paramount+ special has a rant about the people working behind the scenes of these subscription services. It was pretty funny.

    What a dumbass.

     

    The movie barely had any hand guns at all! 

     

    The reason why there are so many mass shootings in America is not because of any film - it's because of the amount of guns available, the gun culture, and the gun lobby. More and more guns are being bought which is why mass shootings happen every other day in the US. It won't stop until there is a massive surge in gun control. 

     

    But dear God, the fact that person had the gaul to try and make that comparison is just mind-boggling.

    Absurd. Mass shootings weren’t even a thing until the ‘80s, and they didn’t become a “thing” in schools until the ‘90s. 
     

    That a “gun culture” and “gun lobby” suddenly became a thing in the 1990s is ridiculous.

    I don't know where you all went to school, but the release MR was FAR from a pop culture moment (it made $57m total domestic, Mummy and Pearl both beat that in less than 3 days). The film did have outstanding staying power, not just at the box office but in general pop culture Without Baz's flare and the team up song, it would have been DOA. MR's long-term industry influence is felt much more strongly in the string of high profile musicals which were taken much more seriously in the years that followed.  Joel Schumacher's attempts to w/ rip it off with PHANTOM OF THE OPERA a few years later w/ a hint of Zorro being the most obvious rip off attempt.

    Phantom didn’t have peak Christina Aguilera on the soundtrack HENNY

    I think it's time JK realizes her disgusting comments have clearly tarnished her brand and she needs to do a George Lucas at this point and just sell Wizarding World to Warner Bros Discovery.

     

    I mean these movies were garbage but it's clear as day that her being attached to them has effected people wanting to support anything Potter related. 

     

    That's why people also are hesitant about Hogwarts Legacy despite Rowling having nothing to do with that game at all.

    Ain’t nobody give a damn about her opinions on anything.
