  1. Sony would call December dibs for Spider-Man 4 if Avatar is pushed to 2026. I see an Eternals/NWH situation then with FF4 releasing in the first week of November.
  2. Even the average alt-right rage tuber is smart enough to stick to softer targets like The Marvels and not criticize Black Panther in their gazillion anti-woke rant videos (at least not in thumbnails). The fact that Peltz went after BP too doesn't just show his bigotry but also reveals he is way out of touch if he doesn't realize how big those movies were financially and that they were the biggest splash made by Disney blockbusters in a long time. Even if I were purely cynical and just into the numbers and PR, that would be a red flag for me right away.
  3. I think Iger would have preferred to have voting take place after the surefire hits that are IO2 and D&W but the members have stayed loyal to him so far. If he's smart he should immediately nab Peltz and point out that Black Panther was a 1.3B+ movie with a huge cultural impact and several Oscar wins and how such a monumental film wouldn't have been greenlit under Peltz. Ofc he too has bought into the anti-woke BS to an extent with his "Our films have become too political" comments. X-Men '97 has the heroes literally fighting insurrectionists and that is Disney+'s biggest animated series debut since What If? Season 1 in peak MCU popularity era.
  4. This woman is the best thing to happen to the intersection between the Cinema and Fashion Venn diagram circles
  5. I wonder what songs they've included if the royalties also contributed to the budget ballooning up to 200M+
  6. I'm a bit confused as to what in the tweet contradicts this. Also Gold Derby is a legit source for early test screening reports. They're more into awards predictions than the comic book film rumor mill.
  7. The movie's set in the Red, White and Royal Blue universe, years after President Uma Thurman's half-Latino gay son flipped Texas for her second term victory
  8. Cut to D'Alessandro next week when the actual numbers come in We're told this is not a total disaster...
  9. Yeah I guess Miyazaki does have clout with Academy voters after all, even if that level of admiration doesn't extend to other Ghibli directors. Guess Howl's and The Wind Rises only lost because Were-Rabbit and Frozen were too influential to be ignored. HMC coming pretty soon after Spirited Away may have also hurt it.
  10. They threw away an almost certain Lead win for Gladstone by not giving her character more screentime and POV scenes. KotFM wouldn't have gained all the goodwill and clout if it was more honest about decentralizing the Osage in their own story so ofc they couldn't put Lily in Supporting.
  11. Twitter and I gaslit Ghibli into believing they didn't stand a chance 💀 Super interesting tho that the Academy aligned with HFPA and BAFTAs on this instead of Annie and PGA. Spider-Verse crew turned up for BAFTAs instead of Annies. Heron crew didn't turn up for Oscars. Most chaotic race ever!
  12. Non-white audiences just don't seem to care for it. It would have been so interesting if they had cast Bollywood and MENA/Turkish stars in the Fremen and Corrino roles with the exception of Zendaya. Villeneuve could have been more creative with the casting.
  13. This is dangerously innacurate shit. Even Gwyneth Paltrow and Asia Argento were preyed upon by the likes of Weinstein so it's not like nepotism is guaranteed safety against harassment. Both of Dakota's grandmother and mother were treated like garbage by the industry. She doesn't really need to put up a fake pretense of being "grateful" for being cast in uninspired duds like Madame Web. She has already made bank thanks to the 50 Shades franchise. Robert Pattinson broke out due to Twilight and that didn't stop him from dunking on the films while they were still coming out but he wasn't hated on for it.
  14. Why would a DUNE film open to 3 digits though? It's actually a testament to the BO pull of the stars in the film that it's opening as high as it is. Refreshing after so much was made about the death of star power. The exact same cast would have opened a Spider-Man film to 150M+ easily if not more.
  15. Also, man's idea of an Oscar vehicle is The Greatest Showman. Love the guy, but let's be real lol
  16. Nah we good. Snyder bros talk about it all day every day on the bird app, completely disregarding the pandemic, day and date releases on Max and the Gunnverse announcement
  17. It could be a language barrier thing too for someone like Denis whose first language isn't English (well yeah, French cinema exists too but I think he was talking in the context of international cinema connecting across borders). It's not a coincidence though that the most universally popular foreign language films like Parasite and Studio Ghibli tend to be VERY visual language heavy. Also why songs and music in different languages end up being much more popular than movies and shows that are in different languages, generally speaking.
  18. It's Sucker Punch before it was cut into ribbons too. Third time the charm for WB?
  19. Man straight up said cultural appropriation is the whitest thing imaginable
