Yeah. People seem to forget that aspect too. 

 

I didn't mention it because I don't know how big is the percentage of white latinos in USA.

 

I've understood Americans tend to imagine Latinos with a non-white look. So, white latinos may not be so common in USA?

It’s common Latinos with white skin in USA, is just that USA won’t perceived them as white anyway

 

Racial discussions on USA seems very different from any other place. I’ve seen a lot of people saying Rebeca Andrade wasn’t black this week lol 

[ThomasNicole]

The drama is 100% real he’s shady as hell lol

Trap is such an oddly structured movie. I wouldn't be surprised by a large drop this weekend given how little anyone seems to care about it.

Even though he's primarily famous for being an actor, he's developing a fairly impressive resume behind the camera between his first movie being a low-budget hit (Five Feet Apart made nearly $100M worldwide against a budget in the single digits) and now his follow-up (edit: third movie actually - his second, 2020's Clouds, went straight to streaming) approaching blockbuster-sized numbers. Curious to see what he does next, even if it means grabbing the first tentpole paycheck that comes his way.

Don't really comprehend what problem the average moviegoer may have had with Trap. It's a pretty appealing/entertaining thriller 

I'm a Shyamalan diehard. I'll even go to bat for stuff like Lady in the Water. But even I didn't like the movie all too much. It's just way too silly and convoluted, even for M. Night.

Kevin Feige has a plan and he already has the best comic book of the 21st century on the case.

 

 

This is a crazy packed month for comic books. And not joking, I could see Avengers x Aliens being a thing in the next 10 years.  

 

Black Panther vs Predator comes out this month too.

White Hispanic may not be perceived or self identify as “traditional white” but they are not uncommon. Close to a quarter of Latino/hispanic population in USA are white. And if you include mixed white Latino/ Hispanic, that % can easily go up to 50%. In one or two generation when this white start speaking English natively or less culturally associated to their origin Hispanic culture, they aren’t that different anymore to the traditional white.

Ooh I didn’t realise Cuckoo was that small of a release. Only 1,503.

Aww that film was so sad! 

[ThomasNicole]

I was expecting double for Cuckoo lol

 

But I though it was a wide release. Still, if it does ~4M in semi-wide it’s a very good performance

Clouds was one of my favourite movies of 2020. Super emotional, thought he did a good job with it. I am a bit biased, especially then, as my childhood friend was dying of a brain tumour at the time, but almost every single beat in that movie felt authentic, and worked really well for me.

The budget for Borderlands is 130m.

 

There are very few video game properties that would warrant that budget imo.

 

The only ones that come to mind are Fortnite, Minecraft, and maybe Zelda.

Didn't it have a hellish production involving tons of reshoots (it originally began filming in early 2021, after all)? That would explain it.

The trades are reporting on it now:

 

Tl:dr Blake commissioned a separate cut of the film in postproduction from a Deadpool 3 editor, insiders insist multiple cuts are normal in post and everyone agreed on the final cut in the end. They're just not interacting with Justin now in promo appearances or on social media for...reasons! LOL

Yeah there were reshoots during Cate's awards season for Tár and she got papped in her Lilith getup. It was kind of funny to see, since she was campaigning for her third Oscar and Borderlands was clearly going to be epically terrible. Also it was a bit meta if you're familiar with Tár.

We are finally witnessing the end of Lionsgate I have foreseen 10 years ago.

They'll make a fortune  next year with the Michael Jackson movie

Thats awful. Her and Ryan give off a sweet persona, but I’m surprised she’s getting away with this shitty behaviour.

That’s what she gets. Good response from him. 
 

If you try and take over, do secret edits, bring your husband in - do it yourself next time.

At this point I'm not surprised when just about any celebrity turns out to have done a bunch of horrible stuff. I'm especially wary of people who seem to put a lot of importance on their or their relationships public image.

 

There are certainly a few celebs who genuinely are good people, so I don't judge people when all there is is tabloid rumor, but I wouldn't say I really care much for any celebs at this point. I just sorta wait until it turns out they're a secret serial killer or something
