  1. China is not the world. Things are just getting started in the US and Europe.
  2. Nah, they'll just buy Warner Brothers. ETA: to the people reacting earnestly to this: yes, it was a joke (albeit a pointed one).
  3. They're not doing it/gonna do it like China's doing. Don't hold yourself hostage to fortune like Trump!
  4. China went on full totalitarian lockdown just to stabilise the spread. Most other countries aren't going to do that. This will not be done and dusted by mid-April.
  5. It's currently trending at 7 in the UK, FWIW. Obviously a busy news day.
  6. So they're really sticking with the release date, then? [insert Morgan Freeman Good Luck gif]
  7. Someone on twitter joked a few days ago "enjoy the last week of talking about anything other than the coronavirus." That also applies to box office. It's going to have a material affect on movies' revenues, it'd be crazy to ignore it.
  8. You also have to contend with the fact that the Trump administration is absolutely terrible at dealing with this. The normal expectations for a developed nation coping with a pandemic don't apply to the US.
  9. It won't be any better than the period Bond decided was bad enough to move from. But if this doesn't move I guess Disney has decided the trade-off is tolerable.
  10. How has this not moved yet? It's like Disney's playing a doomed game of chicken.
  11. Hard to argue with the pedigree of the producer, but... ehhhhhh. As a fan of the game I'm not sure what I'm meant to be excited about. It's already so filmic.
  12. I wonder if the extra 7 months will result in a tighter (or longer!) edit. What director wouldn't want to use the time to tinker just a bit more...
  13. I don't think that would have made any difference. It's an MCU superhero movie. I doubt people watching it solely to get their fill of Bond/M:I spy shenanigans. Any yes, they're idiots if they don't move it. The situation will be considerably worse in a month.
  14. Can't believe this will end up coming out almost a whole year later than originally scheduled, but I'm glad it moved back to winter. Bond movies should be a winter event.
  15. *reactive (Sorry, but 'reactionary' being used incorrectly is my internet pet-hate.)
  16. Gotta feel sorry for this film. After all the pre-production shit and delays it went through it finally releases in a major pandemic.
  17. I like Mangold but I just can't get excited for an almost 80 year-old Indy, in the same way I'd struggle to get excited about an almost 80 year-old Bond.
  18. I'm not actually convinced the original trio will make much difference. We've already had Goldblum back, that wad has been shot. However if this film embraces the dumb, all-out carnage JW1 promised but never really delivered on then it could be the best of the trilogy by default.
  19. Not the three hours some predicted but still the longest Bond yet. Hope it's good enough to justify it.
  20. Please just have linear plotting this time round. Jumping all over the place in the first season was neither clever nor interesting.
  21. Seeing Blackkklansman recently I immediately understood Nolan's faith in Washington - he has a very watchable, immediate presence. Nepotism ain't all bad.
  22. Good to see that Neo finally looks like Jesus. (And dammit, I'm starting to get slightly excited for this.)
  23. The only reason I can see anyone wanting this film is if they believe Naughty Dog will never make another Uncharted game and this is the only fix of the franchise left to them.
