I don’t love Bebop without Rocksteady, but this is going to be an amazing movie regardless.

I’ve been thinking a lot about this incident and the take that resources were potentially wasted on five billionaires. I have thoughts, but no blog or anything so, I’m going to share them here.

too many 2000s comedies don’t commit to the comedy and fall apart in a mushy third act, Wedding Crashers is definitely on that list.

The full brute fury of the metropolitan police service disagrees with you sir.

Most people here are likely richer than 98% of humanity. Check your self-righteousness at the door, bud

Yeah, I would, and we should, because we’re all humans after all.

I know. And, I get it. But as someone who has volunteered with alpine and backcountry Search and Rescue for years, we don’t go looking for people based on moral considerations. At the end of the day, these are lost people and we go looking for them. Period.

Walk Hard doesn’t make this list?  Wrong list maker died.

they really are bickering over all the small things.

Disney keeps doing pointless live-action remakes of their animated catalog when they have they have the Muppets just sitting there. They could be doing Muppet remakes of both animated and live action films - Muppet Snow White, Muppet Pirates of the Caribbean, Muppet Beauty & The Beast...

Both of those outcomes lead to writers being replaced by AIs relatively quickly, though. As soon as it gets around that even Writer X thinks the robots can convincingly duplicate their output, they’re getting fired, and shortly after that, so are a bunch of other writers. It’s definitely in the writers’ interest…

The success of Spider-Man, Transformers, Guardians of The Galaxy and a few other films shows that’s not the reason. People will turn out for films they genuinely want to see. They just didn’t want to see this. It’s got very little to do with streaming.

The problem for Disney/Pixar is that it can’t lean on “well, people are just waiting for home” because Universal has had some massive animated box office hits post-pandemic (Mario, Minions, Puss in Boots) even though those too drop on Peacock after six weeks or so, so demand is there, but whatever Disney & Pixar has…
