and Extraction is still in the top 10 movies on Netflix. 

 

next month there is a movie with Chadwick Boseman. MCU actors are ruling streaming!

 

 

If the ratings for I Know This Much Is True are great with its tepid reviews I'm gonna attribute it to MCU goodwill as well.

 Some of Disney Springs will reopen on May 20 but the parks and hotels will remain closed.

Once upon a time, yes. Looks like the free option was discontinued in 2016.

lol could either Hereditary or Midsommar be considered at all underrated? The former seems to have left a more lasting impression than the summer blockbuster (Ocean's Eight) it opened against two years ago.

Do you think the big-screen experience risks been eclipsed by digital distribution?
 

 

Not at all. Of course, we’ve seen that the platforms are the perfect model for the lockdown. But when Avengers broke box office records to become the most seen film in the history of the cinema, did everyone say the platforms are going to die? Since the beginning of the digital era, we’ve been asking the wrong questions. Cinema on the big screen has lived alongside cinema ‘outside the theatres’ since the invention of television. One day, there were more TV channels, then DVD and now the platforms. They exist side-by-side perfectly well. Why does the press spend its time announcing the decline of the theatres when it’s not true. And why do they say we’re opposed to the platforms. Cannes is happy about the existence of the platforms. They have a brilliant production policy, nourishing themselves and nourishing the history of cinema and the artists. The only thing we disagree on is the fact that films that play in Competition have to be destined for a theatrical release. But you need everything: theatres, small screens, films and series.
 

But this digital society, this digital civilisation, is not real life, where energy circulates, where we confront our ideas, our opinions, and talk about subjects which animate and impassion us. What are we watching at home in this moment? Lots of cinema movies. The need for fiction is necessary. Before cinema carried this alone. Let’s imagine for a second a situation which is the opposite of what we’re living now: a computer virus wipes out all our computers. What would the result be? People would immediately rush to the theatres, the hundreds of millions of spectators of the post-war period, before the arrival of TV, would return. Sadly, we’re living the reverse. The cinema is out of bounds while televisions and the platforms are the only means available to watch films. It’s a shame because we had a fantastic 2019. But we’ll be back more strong in 2021.

@MCKillswitch123 How hard did it bomb? How badly is Nuno Santos screwed? And will he last until 2021? 

 

Also, the Valentina case wtf. CM TV even had pictures of the place where they found the body.

Did you actually see the show? It was a fucking trainwreck   It was a festival of memes, some of them are still trending on Twitter LMAO

 

But ratings wise, on LIVE alone, the first 2/3rds did 12% rating and the midnight portion totalled 8% / 24%. So it actually didn't bomb hard. That being said, it was a disaster, so I don't know if Nuno Santos will hold on for much longer. And Cláudio Ramos' career is absolutely doomed after his nightmarish performance.

 

As for Valentina, CMTV was just disgusting as usual. But this case is monstruous to say the least. I just don't get it... how can anyone do that to a kid, especially a father to his own child?
