My partner’s listening to the book on audible. It’s incredible: they’ve mashed together an old version of the audiobook with what sounds like a radio play, so sometimes all the characters’ dialogue will be spoken by one British narrator and in other chapters there’ll be many different American voices. It even has the film poster as the cover, so this is regarded as the go-to version on the platform, but it’s virtually unlistenable -
I played fallout 4 for way too many hours so I guess I’ll give this a shot. The writing in that game was often atrocious but the world definitely has dramatic potential. The vault experiments alone could be an entire tv show.

Music biopics are one the worst genres going right now but at least this one won’t be the usual rise -> fall -> rise that the others all seem to fall into. No happy ending or moment of redemption with this one.
-
I never make predictions but a few months ago I got a lot of shit from a poster who shall remain nameless for noting how spectacular this and marvels bombing in tandem would be.
-
Congratulations to the tv comedy The Bear which definitely a tv comedy
-
Accidentally clicked on page 1 of this thread where “captain marvel 2” was announced and had a real WTF moment
-
I remember the bbc website had a news story dedicated to the costume reveal. Back then, when it was much more serious and less prone to puff pieces, that was a huge deal. Man, that movie really shit the bed. It really was set up to be *huge*
-
Majors has had the fastest rise and fall of any star I’ve ever seen. When creed 2 came out I remember thinking “how is this guy suddenly everywhere?” and now I’ll probably never see him in a movie ever again
-
MoS being shit probably didn’t help
-
If that’s the reason that’s hilarious. I know no-one gives a shit about technical awards but I’m all for that level of pettiness.
-
Yeah, marketing wasn’t saving this. The DCU dies as it lived: as a flaming pile of garbage
-
“It feels like a Ubisoft game” is not a compliment in 2023 and reviews are reflecting that. The ‘reclaim towers in a map littered with busywork icons’ felt dated a decade ago. If you love it then great, but I’m glad people are calling that shit out now.
-
The original Wonka movie seems to be a cult classic in the US but definitely isn’t in the UK so I’m sure audiences in the latter will just take it as its own thing. I never saw the original but I did read the book, and the wonka in that generally finds children annoying so it’s funny seeing this new version of him that, apparently, loves them.
-
And… it’s a shame they couldn’t have made something more interesting with the IP, but there you go.
-
looks like this prediction was bang-on
-
Trouble is RDJ’s team is pushing the post-Oppenheimer ‘3rd act of his career’ narrative (yes, it’s Oscar campaigning, but still), and going back to the marvel fold actively conflicts with that. I was cynical at first but I’d be really surprised if he took the payday now, even in a few years. Evans on the other hand…
-
No-one said they were the main problem. But they clearly aren’t helping, and when even Disney is finally admitting they’re spending too much on movies well, maybe there’s light at the end of the tunnel
-
Honestly, I’m fine with bloated budgets being punished even if they’re scorcese and Scott films too. The streaming model/money pit is bullshit and Hollywood seems determined to learn the hard way.
-
flops are great fun when they’re unexpected. Tragically, we knew it was happening long before Marvels opened, and it looks like it’s happening here too
-
I’m waiting for Hollywood to gorge itself on IPs, burst its belly, and make all cinemas go out of business. Then, after that, a few indies venues will pop up again, showing shoestring budget passion projects. If they look good, I might consider possibly maybe thinking about supporting the medium.
-
agreed. It’s clear Scott just wanted to make an android film and both are at their best when he’s onscreen.
-
Definitely not a great trailer but I’m seeing this in cinemas so it doesn’t need to convince me. And yes, the title is silly.
-
whose fault is it if not the SH films people increasingly don’t want to see?
-
Is Young Avengers a name people online are using for convenience or is it the canon, in-movie description of the next lot? Because it’s a terrible name.
-
didn’t realise hemsworth was in this. Congratulations on (probably) your first non-MCU hit movie Chris!
