You’re describing going to the movies. That’s not the same thing as movies.

I say if any mainstream director has earned the right to have a weird-ass passion project film that might be a commercial flop as potentially his last hurrah - 60 YEARS after his directorial debut - it’s Francis Ford Coppola. Even a fiasco from Coppola would be better than many so-called successes. 

People who were old enough like Rudd’s character remembered. Kids didn’t know. Ask kids today about anything that happened in the 80s ..or like what us a rotary phone ...they don’t know that stuff man. That made sense to me. 

There was no Sigourney Weaver,  only Zuul.

I’m assuming the real answer is A24 - either they wanted it set in the States to sell tickets

The thing about fuckers like Gervais, Chapelle, John Cleese, Rob Schneider, Tim Allen, and others that are always spouting this bullshit about “cancel culture” and “wokeness”, is that their whole schtick is “We should be allowed to joke and mock anything, everything, all the things, without limits”. And then they the…

Really nice, down to earth movie. Glad I stumbled across it on Amazon.

I think Murphy’s right that Barbenheimer will never happen again, but you can bet your sweet tush that Hollywood is gonna try their darndest to make it happen every time a pair of stylistically differing movies come out near one another.

I think it;s super hard not to sound like an asshole. H’wood is so competitive for moenyh, projects, reecognitioon that ya just have to relentlessly sell yourself and hype yourself to get the projects you want. It eventually seeps into your persona;.

I had no idea they were even married!

Also, make it more human. Think part the reason The Marvels failed is that they are too powerful.

I’d also love to see them reboot it. Maybe actually have a plan this time instead of winging it and getting really lucky.

This and I think alternate realties and time travel are always a long term mistake in these sorts of franchises.

Isn’t that exactly what the Pattinson Batman movie was? He spent the whole movie playing detective (who strangely never actually solved anything or thwarted any part of the villain’s plan) and the villain was just trying to flood Gotham. I actually really liked The Batman since it was so much more grounded in reality…

I was hoping the new Pattinson version of Batman would play more with the idea of Batman as a detective. I’d imagine that approach would bring in a villain whose ambitions aren’t in the world- or universe-domination level. A less powerful villain would also mean a less powerful and maybe more vulnerable, and human, her…

Are you crazy? Audiences don’t want relatable characters, they want energy beams! MOAR BEAMZ.

I’m incredibly bored watching characters shoot energy beams. I miss the early days when Iron Man’s suit had to make power compromises and fired rockets. I get that Marvel feels like they have to keep upping the stakes, but you’re right, all the universe destroying stuff somehow just feels so inconsequential.

Nothing at all is changing right now. It takes a massive ship like the MCU 4 years from a new idea, to the time it is actually on screen. And that number is before there were strikes.

I just assumed it was Kraven, but that might just be because I always get him confused with Aaron Taylor Johnson. (It would also line up with “Marvel-y”.)

If an actor asked me this question as a filmmaker, I wouldn’t be the least bit offended. I’d reply, I want you in this movie because I need x, y and z and I think you’re the best guy to give me x, y and z in this particular part, and thoroughly explain why. I’d prefer it, as I know they aren’t just taking the part for…
