Actor states the obvious about the effects of capitalist factory-produced franchise content. Come back tomorrow for more radical ideas!

Sixth Sense still holds up if you know the ending.

The Rise of Skywalker did more damage than any other film has to any other franchise. It is truly terrible in its awfulness.

Agreed.

As someone who has met him several times (he’s a Philly guy, doesn’t live far from me in ‘burbs. A very good friend of mine works on all of his movies)- this dude has the Midas touch. After those well-publicized big studio debacles, he started pretty much self-financing his own movies. He made an absolute fortune doing

No, you guys aren’t commenting on lack of proofreading.

although judging by the end credits, which mention “principle photography,” it still wasn’t enough to hire a proofreader.

Surprise, surprise. Shitty premise makes for shitty movie.

You can always watch the relevant episodes of Marvel Studios: Legends to get the background of the character, if you aren’t interested in watching an entire series or movie.

That’s why I was legit interested in the Batgirl movie; a ground-level superhero in a homemade costume is EXACTLY what this genre desperately needs more of right now

I’m definitely in the superhero fatigue camp, but it’s more the quality than the quantity. Especially with the MCU, all these movies look and feel exactly the same. I know that’s by design because it’s a shared universe, but god I find it so incredibly boring. It’s always actors standing in some Atlanta warehouse with

It totally was, without WandaVision, her last appearance was at the funeral scene in Endgame where she and Hawkeye mourn Black Widow and Vision by the lake at Stark’s funeral. And at that appearance, she seems pretty okay (look I know people can hold it together on the exterior while hurting inside, I’m just saying

I’m probably gonna upset the really hardcore comics nerds around here, but I think one way to stave off some of the superhero fatigue is to do more movies like Captain America: The Winter Soldier in between the GotG and Quantumania acid fever dream movies.

it may not literally be true, but it certainly felt like that to most people. it might not be a problem if you’re completely unaware a tv show exists, but i imagine there was a gnawing ‘there’s more information here i should know’.

I’d like to see the MCU lean into more stuff like Werewolf By Night. A fun, hour-long romp that barely had any ties to the larger continuity.

I am not a Star Wars guy, but Andor is a major course correction. Disney’s Star Wars properties have mostly been pablum (not surprising given they’re for kids), but Andor actually delivered a tightly structured story that deals with the societal implications of space Nazis.

The rumor has been that the first scripts were disasters and that’s why the writer / director were replaced.

the man who allegedly laid beneath his ex-wife’s car to prevent her from bringing another man her special salad dressing. Or maybe the oversaturation of celebrity gossip adds something to Sudeikis’ portrayal; after all, Ted, too, is an extremely Divorced Dude. Life imitates art, etc. etc.

I knew this headline and article was click-bait bullshit as soon as I saw it and yet, here I am.

I’m assuming the fun cameo that you won’t spoil is the cameo literally spoiled in the trailer
