  1. Met up with a crotchety uncle who mentioned seeing this. I had to laugh when he said he actually got up to complain to the theater manager half an hour in because he couldn’t hear any of the dialogue. “There’s nothing we can do,” the manager apparently said, “that’s how it came to us.”
  2. Paul Mescal is shockingly good at picking post-breakout projects. I wonder if that will hold true of Gladiator 2.
  3. I was gonna say... good luck trying to out-extreme the last third of that movie.
  4. The actors in this must be so happy they don’t have to do promo. I can’t imagine how boring it is giving that many interviews on a superhero movie.
  5. It’s amazing how much discourse these live action remakes generate when they’re always shit. There has never been a good one, and yet they’re still so talked about.
  6. Spain the better team but sad they’ve copied the diving tactics of their male counterparts. An absolute plague on the sport that fifa just ignores.
  7. Still haven’t watched NWH. I’m sure it’s fine but I just can’t be bothered for a 2.5 hour SNL sketch.
  8. I subscribe to the school of thought that says there are no movie stars anymore. This is akin to Robbie starting a SH smash and then her next few films doing just ok. And that’s fine. It’s the new reality of Hollywood. People want characters and concepts more than stars.
  9. Yup, the RT binary system is flattering its reception. Usually it’s MCU films that get that benefit.
  10. A newish one, but yeah. I know, I feel sorry for my son too.
  11. I rewatched it as part of a Disney binge with my son. It still looks incredible but it’s really boring. So. Much. Singing. I can’t even blame its age because Pinocchio, the follow-up, is one of my favourites.
  12. It’s from a segment of the original novel when Dracula travels to London. It’s a shame they fucked it up because it’s a genuinely unsettling part of the story that’s worthy of its own (good) movie.
  13. Wasn’t gosling paid 20m for barbie, or was that just a made-up figure I read somewhere?
  14. So Nolan could make 180m from Oppenheimer. Between his previous earnings and the rate at which he makes big movies it’s not impossible that he’ll become a billionaire at some point.
  15. I swear I’m just saying this as an observation rather than making a point about its quality (I’ve not seen it), but I’ve still yet to hear a single person mention it offline. It’s like the movie exists in a parallel universe to mine.
  16. Mufasa feels like Disney just threw a dart at a wall of characters, hit him and thought “fuck it.” my only mild curiosity concerning the project is whether they do the whole (massively misjudged) realistic looking animal routine again.
  17. I had no idea the first made over 500m, though I guess the budget wasn’t exactly small. It certainly never felt like an expensive movie.
  18. needing ‘likeable’ characters is a very infantile way of consuming fiction. It’s even more infantile when it’s non-fiction.
  19. the LotR is an interesting one because upon release it was generally agreed that RotK was its (hur hur) crowning achievement but many now consider it the worst, and I’ve no doubt it’s due to its excessive cgi and overindulgence in a type of spectacle that hasn’t aged well.
  20. Holy shit at that spider-man domestic number. I hadn’t been following it at all.
  21. Nice to see this do well in imax, and a good riposte to idiots who think only action movies warrant the format.
  22. Love how Oppenheimer, a film about a communist sympathiser expressing grave concern at the US military machine, escapes the woke accusations.
  23. Read a tweet saying Lena Dunham will direct lily collins in a polly pocket film and I’m too tired to check if it’s real or a joke.
