Company CEO: “What’s the first thing you think of when you read the name ‘GATE’?”
You can make a compelling and stylish mystery TV show/movie on a shoestring budget. I recently re-watched Brick (Rian Johnson) and while that movie isn’t a political thriller (it’s a mystery), it’s still super stylish and has some really intriguing cinematography. And those guys made that movie for like $400 grand.
The show just looks bland as hell.
I went into this movie expecting time travel, and ready to hate it, and I didn’t? I expected a really lazy “It’s a go anywhere, anytime” time travel device, that would allow Indy to travel back in time to fight alongside his younger self and save Shia LaBeouf from going to Vietnam. That would have sucked.
But will Threads have the magical interactions you only see on Twitter? On Twitter I know if I come across a popular tweet, the first replies will always be from a ‘MAGAWarRoom2024' account arguing with an OnlyFans model about how the Earth is flat.
Me watching a Zack Snyder movie: “Huh. This has some pretty cool cinematography. Wow. This cast spent a lot of time in the gym. Okay, why does this shot need to be in slow motion? Alright, who thought that line was a good idea? Who wrote this script? Okay, I’m being cynical. Let’s just try to enjoy the action. Hold…
Disney executive #1: “Here’s this $50 million, straight-to-streaming kids movie about astronauts. It releases on Disney+ in a couple of months.”
We’re halfway through 2023, and the most entertaining thing Xbox has released all year are court transcripts of their lawyers throwing tantrums because Sony won’t let them buy Activision.
Why does LEGO film all of these promotional videos in a West Elm Wayne Manor?
I hear that BlueSky needs more time in the oven. Its features are really basic, it can’t handle large volumes of users, and invite codes are hard to come by...
Republicans: “Porn is bad, and it shouldn’t exist, and anyone who consumes it is going straight to hell!”
I do wish they had waited until after Secret Invasion wrapped-up before releasing The Marvels’ trailer. Secret Invasion has a big “Anyone can die, including major characters” hook to it. They killed off a prominent MCU character in the first episode. So it wouldn’t be unreasonable for viewers to worry that Fury might…
The fact that this all went down on the first day of the month reenforces the “Musk isn’t paying his bills” theory. Had this all happened in the middle of the month, or if Elon had given everyone a heads up a couple days beforehand, like it was a planned outage, I might give him some credit.
This is such a weird-ass project. So you’re Disney, and thirteen years ago you release Tron: Legacy, and it’s a pretty good movie. Its story was nothing new, but the production design and soundtrack is still chef’s kiss. The movie doesn’t exactly light the box office on fire, so they’re apprehensive to make a sequel, b…
I’ll be honest; I got nervous about a James Mangold Swamp Thing movie back when the early Dial of Destiny reviews first dropped. But I saw Dial of Destiny last night, and it was fine. I walked in expecting an offensive train-wreck of a film, and it wasn’t terrible. It feels like most of the film’s shortcomings, of…
Be quiet, Microsoft. Everything you’re accusing Sony of doing (paying studios for console exclusivity, keeping DLC exclusive to one platform over others, etc), you have also done in the past.
I think the rumor is BS. Maybe they had a rough animatronic armature, whose proportions roughly equated to Hillary’s body, but there’s no way Disney had a finalized Hillary head sculpt which was hastily altered at the eleventh hour, to become Trump. No way.
I love how there’s this new industry where world-class martial artists will allow themselves to be filmed getting their asses kicked by insecure billionaires.
