Unfortunately it seems that the Daily Mail were first on the scene, but this is probably the best piece of journalism that rag has ever put out.

Regardless of Batgirl’s quality, they wasted easy marketing following Brendan Fraser’s Oscar win, plenty would have watched since that was to be his next released project.

If the filmmaker decided that a sex scene should be in their film, it’s not wasting time. You may feel that you have wasted your time, but that isn’t the same thing.

You can always tell them to put their phone away you know.

‘Run(a)way’ maybe?

Okay, but as I said, they will have to cater to non-fans to ensure financial success. Unless they plan on giving this a modest budget, the performance of almost every superhero film this year is proof that casual moviegoers and non-fans are essential to box office performance. 

Silence is also fantastic.

If they want this film to be a financial success, then they literally do have to cater to non-Star Wars fans. 

From what I understand these shortlists are decided by Academy members from each category, and VFX artists weren’t exactly pleased that reportedly 80% of the VFX artists that worked on Oppenheimer went uncredited.

I dunno, I’d say it’s far closer to fifth than third. Crystal Skull has its moments, the only really memorable part of Dial is the last 20 or so minutes, everything else is rote and pretty bland. As bad as Crystal Skull is, at least it’s not boring.

How is The Bear a comedy while Slow Horses and The Curse are dramas? All shows are a mixture, but Slow Horses is definitely more comedic and marketed as such, and The Curse has a very particular style of comedy, whereas The Bear aims more for ‘Prestige Drama’, especially in season 2.

The first film ends in a duel between Paul and a member of the Fremen, they use Crysknives. Most, if not all the battles in Dune (2021) are done using bladed weapons.

Since Endgame I’d argue the world destroying stakes have been fairly minimum. Far From Home, WandaVision, Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Black Widow, Shang-Chi, Hawkeye, Moon Knight, Love and Thunder, Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk, Wakanda Forever, Werewolf by Night, and Guardians 3 all had a range of smaller threats or…

Ugh, I forgot these were slideshows now.

I don’t doubt Gosling will be nominated, but until Killers of the Flower Moon Supporting Actor was RDJ’s to lose. Now he has serious competition from De Niro, not to mention any other breakout performances yet to come (a la Andrea Riseborough last year.)

Part of the reason the budget was so large is likely because multiple actors would have demanded a higher salary to account for a lack of profit participation, given that this is produced by Apple and they probably wouldn’t have finalised the distribution model during pre-production.

This also isn’t the first time Marvel have just lifted a scene from a future project to use as a post-credit scene. The one that jumps to mind is Ant-Man’s post-credits using a scene from Captain America: Civil War, but I’m sure there are a couple of other examples.

The earliest example I can remember off the top of my head was the final trailer for 2015's The Man from U.N.C.L.E.

If five separate women accused my best friend of rape and he was then found guilty of raping two of them, I wouldn’t side with my longtime friend and I certainly wouldn’t do anything to try and get his sentence reduced. But hey, that’s just me.

Ah okay thank you for the explanation, that’s less insidious than my original thought that Herb was inflating comments to show higher engagement.
