In my case you have it backwards: I had little interest in the film but amazing reviews may have encouraged me to see it. But they never materialised, and the clips look crap. I think many on this forum operate under the assumption everyone’s constantly going to the cinema, when in reality it’s a time consuming luxury that studios are making increasingly redundant with fast streaming turnarounds. So yes, poor-to-mediocre WOM does have an impact if you’re already quite neutral on the product.

Whatever else one can say about Nolan, he's an excellent interviewee. Well, the growth of AI in terms of weapons systems and the problems that it is going to create have been very apparent for a lot of years. Few journalists bothered to write about it. Now that there's a chatbot that can write an article for a local newspaper, suddenly it's a crisis.

I think it depends on whether they can transition the single joke (“barbie’s world is quite strange when you think about it!”) into a good story. I’d expect the first half to be constant winking and memes but the second half probably needs a bit more weight to it. We’ll see. On the whole I agree that MCU brand of self-aware humour has, to put it charitably, reached its limit. But this feels like something else. I haven’t seen marketing cut through like this in years.

First time I’ve looked at guardians’ global tally - impressive. -
Glad the cgi is getting called out. A lot of studios treat special effects like an afterthought (and treat the people who create them similarly) but it matters when it all looks like shit, and it’s currently endemic. Give your artists more time, let them be proud of their product. But you won’t, because the SH conveyor-belt of diminishing returns can’t slow down.

Lol, so I just found out Mufasa is an actual film. This shit’s getting beyond parody.
