“definetely won’t be a bomb”

Dude’s got a Thanos-sized brain.

So you want good movies, like Oppenheimer (and Barbie for that matter) to fail... to teach the studios not to make good movies?

And for them to lose so much money that their corporate stranglehold on cinema breaks, and the medium thus becomes more diverse, egalitarian, and interesting?

I get that this article was probably written weeks ago to be released with opening day, but we already know that at least as far as opening weekend goes, it looks like Oppenheimer is about to overperform coming in at $50 million and 2nd place when just a week ago it was being predicted it would do $20 - $40 million…

Black Panther has people buying out theaters to take their class or church too.  This movie literally has a website where anyone can just give money to buy tickets for a theater.  Its a bit different

Its weird, I feel like this movie has crossed over from just QAnon crazy to just a “conservative” movie now. The QAnon DNA is still there. Both Ballard and Caviezel are pilled for sure.   But I see a lot of trolling by just right wing haters saying “The left just can’t handle how well this movie is doing” while…

You didn’t actually have to pay to watch this garbage movie, you Qtip sucker.

“Communist”

He doesn’t seem particularly interested in saving “cinema” broadly anyway. More like saving a specific type of action movie.

Based on “facts”

Donations, mostly. I mean there were tweets online how theaters were sold out and only a few people where in the theater.

Co-sign. He’s become one of those people who has been so famous for so long that it’s hard to see what’s left in there of a recognizable human (see also Will Smith).  I enjoy the hell out of his work but there’s no denying he seems like movie industry AI.

Can you imagine the dirt that Katie Holmes has on him? There’s no way he agreed to zero custody unless he had something major to lose.

“advocate on behalf of stunt performers (a segment of the guild famously near and dear to his heart).” What weird assumptions this piece makes. Cruise does not and has never truly cared about stunt people, he mythologizes the craft but if he really cared he wouldn’t try to do his own stunts and let trained stuntmen do…

He chose his weirdo cult over his child. Having a child you don’t have any contact with is one of those things that very clearly indicates that someone is a piece of shit on a fundamental level.

Doesn’t a “strike” imply that you stop doing something? Because I can’t remember the last time Tom Cruise did any actual, you know, acting.

Tom Cruise seems like such a nice guy.

“The last remaining guenuine movie star?”

How does Tom Cruise still get so much attention? Is it literally that he made a sequel to the dumbest movie of 1986, so we’re going to ignore the cult stuff and pretend his face naturally looks like that?
