Came here for this.

Uptown Saturday Night and Let’s Do It Again are fantastic comedies featuring, as noted, a refreshing and unpretentious Black POV. But there’s a big unfortunate reason they’re not talked about much today.

Is Big Train not well thought of?

Maybe the difference between film and digital?

Incredibles 2 seems more on the money, with its expanded cast of would-be heroes. But again, “overshadowing”?

I was going to guess DEADPOOL, but is it “meta-X-Men”? As far as I can tell, it’s objectively X-Men, with a meta perspective. I was thinking the writer must mean something like MYSTERY MEN or THE SPECIALS, except they came first.

I’m out of touch. What’s the “meta-X-Men movie making fun of X-Men movies” that supposedly overshadowed the franchise?

Asider from DUNE 2, the only current trailer that interests me is Lanthimos’ POOR THINGS.

I feel that in an age where the bottom line is what the stockholders think, a public perception of failure overcomes any actual, quantifiable success.

Yes, apparently “Miranda Sings fame” is the kind of fame where I’ve never heard of the (person? band?) in question.

You don’t get any of those Harry Potter scores without THE WITCHES OF EASTWICK.

The only good Holocaust joke:

No argument there. But it’s fascinating that Knight’s nepobaby actually turned the company back into an industry leader (artistically if not financially).

It’s evident from CLAYDREAM that Vinton kinda screwed himself. And Knight gave him plenty of warning.

Come on guys, MIKE AND DAVE NEED WEDDING DATES.

The movie gets itself into all sorts of conceptual trouble. At one point it’s specifically laid out that Wade isn’t “water,” he’s a “water person,” implying that none of the characters are actually... elementals... since they exist apart from the elements they represent. Also, municipal water management plays a big…

Obligatory “TURNING RED Was Awesome And Not About An Anthropomorphized Bureaucracy” post.

I don’t think anyone views JOHN CARTER as part of this conversation, even if it was Pixar.

Pixar needs to grow out of its “house look”. They do keep improving the quality of their environments and the expressiveness of their characters and I love ever-advancing technical developments as much as anyone, but in the meantime the Spiderverse movies have exploded the idea of what a CG animated aesthetic can be.

Still, this didn’t stop families going to MARIO BROS.
