Is playing Lois Lane in a Superman movie ( where you basically get to scream help me a lot while men around you are punching down CGI buildings) REALLY a bigger role than headlining an emmy-award winning show?

hmmm...if that’s the case, I wonder what the reason is why I never see anyone carrying around a PS5 to play games on the train or an airplane.

That’s actually a good point. However, I’m trying to come up with any episode of the new Dr Who runs that did a historical episode without a side of sci-fi baked in. There has to be one example, right?

same. I’m probably up to 50 hours....never heard of these darn things.

Yeah, the actors in Whitaker’s run were enjoyable and fine. The “revisit historical points in Earth history” stories were pretty good, but the science fiction-based stories for the most part were pretty bad...and it felt like there were three in a row during the first season that were essentially the exact same story.…

I now wonder how well WW84 would’ve done in a theater instead of being banished to HboMax at the height of the pandemic. Me and my wife were all set to go see it when it was going to come out just based on the goodwill of the first 90% of the first movie. ( the last 10% with the Ares fight scene is just awful and…

I doubt it. 99% of the world doesn’t really follow the daily lives of actors once you below a certain level of stardom. Ezra Miller is no where near the Tom Cruise/George Clooney level of mindshare. Most people wouldn’t be able to tell you the actor’s name in the Flash. Heck, it wasn’t until recently that I found out…

“A bunch of people died, which created all these other regulations and safety units for Hollywood films, but have things really changed when some people are getting under paid to do cgi" seems like a horrible these-things-are-no-where-similar take.

I completely believe that anything as visually kinetic as these movies are, that it is almost impossible to storyboard everything out; so much of these films are based on seeing the final rhythm, and then going back and re-editting shots, which in an animated film means “turn the content engine back on”.

Suddenly, the idea that Indy has turned out to be actually the villain who goes around stealing magical artifacts in order to stave of his own mortality in his old age interests me.

I was under the impression that the entire run of Next Generation was essentially a secret trial.

Having watched both Clue and Ghostbusters 2 originally in theaters, and then attempted later via vcr/dvd/cable broadcast, they are both mediocre movies at best. I’m fairly certain that they fall into that category of movies that have raised to cult classic status by a few internet memes by people who have actually…

This feels like a bad example, given that Miles Morales was never THE Spiderman, he was an alternative universe Spiderman, where you can just make up any type of Spiderman you want, without any care of an actor appearance. A better example probably would be if they straight up replaced Tobey Maguire with a young…

Thankfully the Skywalker saga is finished, the big secret is that this is completely all new and starts the 12-film Organa saga.

It’s very weird that a company like Disney would approve of something like this that is going to be dated looking by the time it comes out. Case in point:

Yeah, you’re right...it’s not like the last 6 or 7 movies were released during a locked down pandemic where the movie industry is still struggling to get people used to return to the theaters. It’s all due to Synder’s genius.

Comparing box office results ( especially opening weekend results) to movie quality is a fool’s errand, at best.

The secret there is that not many people have Peacock. If you are getting a streaming service for kids movies...you are already in the Disney+ camp, not Peacock. 

On the other hand, people haven’t learned the scam tactics of needing to buy this year’s Madden, either, with just slightly tweaked graphics and stats. Or needing to buy car customizations in rocket league, or whatever.

Sequels are safer and easier to market, and to sell to the people that control money. so in that sense, they are a lot less riskier. I would agree that “creatively valuable” is probably very dependent on what you want to sequel to be.
