Yep. Not just number one, but remember that it got knocked out in only its second weekend, then fell to third last weekend, then jumped all the way back to the top.

Yeah, it’s not a “superhero fatigue” thing (again) because five of the last six Marvel Studios movies have all crossed $340 million-plus in the US alone (and the one that didn’t is the solo hero with multiple movies who draws the lowest money in the stable, Ant-Man) and Spider-Verse is going to triple in the US what…

I went because of Keaton but I’m 37 and that’s actually on the young end of being a fan of Batman 89 (I had to double back to it as a kid). As we saw with Terminator Dark Fate and Doctor Sleep bombing on the same window a few years ago, at a certain point, these “nostalgic” properties are just “old” and “what is this”…

I really enjoyed it but it had a lot of factors going against it that combined like a Justice League team up to take it down. Heck, of that $87 million, $22m was from its opening Thur/Fri; that is a crazy front-loaded haul.

“Hey Shadow, long time no see!”

AHAHAHAAHAH

Theyre coming to my area (SF) on January 6. Hopefully that’s a much less interesting day than past January 6ths!

You’ve pretty much hit on why Cars never worked for me.

Pretty much. There’s a reason they just got handed an order to do follow-ups to Inside Out and Toy Story. Theyre not gonna be original, but theyre gonna make a lot more than Elemental. 

I’m trying to think of the last time Pixar character design blew me away (WALL-e?). Even their most recent classic in my eyes, Inside Out, the character designs of the emotion is probably the least inspired thing about it. 

And no Julie Warner popping out of the cold water =(

100% agreed. Pixar movies look way too homogenized now, and it feels so uninspired next to something like the universe of Gwen Stacy with the watercolors and pastels in the background shifting with the mood. 

Hell, you can basically go back to Treasure Planet (which also came out around Titan AE, which single-handedly shuttered Fox’s once-promising animation studio), where its monumental failure was the first nail in Disney’s 2D coffin.

Fans are weird sometimes.

One of the reasons the remake of GBA Ribbon Road is one of my favorite courses

I attended a taping back in 2012 (sadly didn’t get called up but I got on TV a bunch and they played Plinko!) and it was not just great fun but Drew was a terrific host. Instead of hopping off somewhere during segment breaks, he would stay on set and do Q&A with audience members.

Next June

Especially since the movies found the humor 007 lost along the way in its last few outings.
