The Board’s problems with Chapek wasn’t his policies.  It was his personality and management style, which caused him to lose the support of Disney employees, executives and stockholders.  His brief tenure has been one PR disaster after another, capped by surprising stockholders about the 4th quarter losses.  If Chapek…

Line of the episode - ‘four for dinner’

Based on context, I think the writer specifically meant movies that incorporate the pandemic as a plot element/acknowledge it, or ones that exist because of the constraints put on productions in terms of testing, crew size, location, etc. Not just any movie that came out during the pandemic.

Big Fish?

What Cousin Olivier said. And that as a result he announced that he wants to take a break from acting for a while, spend time with his family, and think about how he wants to handle this.

To be pedantic - no it wasn’t. At it’s peak, we were getting 3-4 Netflix shows (most with 13 hour long episodes each) a year and 20+ episode seasons of AoS (40 minutes without commercials). If you watched all of that stuff plus the MCU movies, you likely watched more Marvel content back then than you are this year.

I believe once D+ launched, Feige went on record as saying the shows are as much a part of the arc as the movies are.

Her vaccine comments were years ago and not repeated. And it’s not like black people have ANY REASON to question US Government vaccination.

Read the Deadline article - they worded it correctly. DS2 had 20% more at same point in time (Wednesday before debut) which means it likely had around $56m. It ended at $85m. That may seem like a big jump but it actually makes perfect sense that a good amount of people would make the decision to buy tickets a day or…

I thought he HAD stopped being in things to take over parenting duties to let his wife go back to work. Did that hiatus end already?

I’m assuming the $85 million is the TOTAL advance ticket sales for Dr Strange but the article is comparing Black Panther and Dr Strange at the same point in time, meaning there are still a few days to add more ticket sales. So Black Panther’s $45 million is being compared to ~$54 million for Strange with two days…

Saying “Chadwick Boseman isn’t a good actor” is like saying “Harrison Ford isn’t a good actor.” No doubt a person could make a sound argument to support that assertion, but while they were making their argument I’d be busy wishing that Chadwick Boseman or Harrison Ford were making it, because it’s entertaining to…

The thing with your argument is that it’s just about covid when this is more than that. We were shaming these idiots long before covid and will continue to after because there are worse diseases that are making a comeback like polio thanks to these morons. 

Even if Shuri gets the torch, SHE believes in science, even if her actor doesn’t.

I just disagree. Boseman was a screen icon possessed of unusual charisma and grace, and this was widely recognized before his passing. There’s a reason Boseman is the first unsnapped face we see walking through the portal in Endgame. People aren’t just grading him up as a performer because he died young. With respect…

I...don't think Strong was bragging about the role, exactly.

I enjoyed the Gray Man for what it was, but could not for the life of me tell you where that $200 million budget went.

Oh, I definitely meant it as an indictment of humanity and the AV Club and its commenters. But the hand-wringing here about Matthew Perry’s comments is just sort of comical given the reactions you normally see here.

This makes me reimagine a Canadian Will Smith storming up to Chris Rock at the Oscars

Yeah, it feels like TJ very, very quickly backpedaled this one as soon as Ryan got in touch.
