Thats not a movie that editing can fix.

Nobody ever brags about having seen a shorter cut.

Can’t we just leave things alone?

I hate this movie so much it made me skip an entire decade long film universe.

What in the long history of James Cameron in general and "Avatar" in the specific made you believe that releasing one of those every other year was an attainable goal?

I’d take Ang Lee’s weird auteurist vision every day over the cookie-cutter factory-produced drivel of any of the current Marvel movies.

If you don’t understand what the “worsening economy” means, let me explain it to you:

The worst thing to me is that it’s not even usually that! Sure, there’s the hookers and blow, but most of the cash just goes into holding funds, just making numbers bigger to make them bigger for that one person. At least the blow gets money moving into the economy!

The conspiratorial part of my brain can’t help but see all the media hype around ChatGPT replacing creatives happening at the same time as the writers’ strike and not think, “Are we really waking up to the dangers of AI or are the news outlets (owned by the same people who own the studios) just scaring everyone so

*them

The bigger surprise, for us, is the Avatar stuff. Those coming every other year seemed totally attainable but now there are three and four-year gaps?

If you’re an heterosexual man.
I’m pretty sure women think more of him as a “face I want to sit on” and that’s one of the reason he gets a lot of slack.

You could also just like, pay your writers and give them fair deals? But I guess delaying all your massive movies makes sense, too.

With all the hype around AI these days, I think we’ve kind of forgotten that AI has been used for straightforward tasks like this for a quite a while.

After "Solo"'s infamous struggles trying to open five months after "The Last Jedi", I'm going and calling it that one of those TBD Star Wars is getting moved so we're not getting two a year.

I don’t care what anyone else thinks. I like the Beatles. And I think they’ll have some longevity in that people will listen to and continue to be inspired by their music. 

Agreed. I like both films for wholly opposite reasons.

Pretty surprised about Superman & Lois getting a season 4. And honestly, 10 episodes isn’t all that “abbreviated” from the usual 13 episodes. I guess Superman is close enough to a godlike savior figure for the new CW brass to let him continue.

I love Solaris, it’s definitely worth multiple viewings. The Soderbergh remake is also surprisingly good in a different way. 

I would add Buckaroo Banzai to this list. First time it just seems weird, second time you see the humor of it all.
