Well, we did have Mickey One way back in 1965, so I’d say that we’re way overdue for Mickey 17.

Continental, you say?
imagine going from the heights of ‘we are making a 70 million dollar franchse film’ to ‘sorry, your movie is so bad we are deleting it and it will never be finished or seen, because we want to recoup the money through taxes’.
Squadrons was good, but that multiplayer-centric game came and went in a flash.
Had they developed a full length singleplayer campaign with it, I think it would’ve ascended to great.
It was a $20 million dollar tax credit. It covered less than 1/4 of the money spent to carry the movie to where it was when it wax axed.
I enjoyed it, but it was pretty clear that it was cut way down from something bigger to make its release, and the pacing and character development suffer for it.
People are too fixated on the use of the word “traumatic,” I think it could be traumatizing to be publicly humiliated and rejected on such a large stage. The Batgirl cancellation will be mentioned in their obituaries, as that’s likely to be an all-time famous unreleased film along the lines of The Day the Clown Cried.…
Look at me with a straight face and tell me Pan’s Labyrinth isn’t good.
“On The White Lotus, Aubrey Plaza steals the show”
The director’s tally seems to put Dielman at no.4—that pick is hardly lacking in consensus. Chantal Ackerman’s had a rise in esteem since her death, sure, but tastes change.
I will listen to arguments that stories about black soldiers no longer (and never should have in the first place) need white central figures like Shaw. Ebert said that in his review of Glory.
But I’d counter with this: Because Ferris Bueller and Westley from Princess Bride agreed to be in a movie, Denzel got an Oscar…
“…which appears to have been crafted by someone confused by the difference between “scary” and simply “wet.””
I think it’s a fantastic film. It’s not “easy,” but I’m not sure what makes it “unwatchable,” really. I’ve taught it for a few years to second-year college students, and while they’re often put off at first by its run-time, most of them end up really loving it (it generates great essays). They’re film students, sure,…
Glass Onion was playing at the theater near my house (one of only three in town showing it). My Monday night screening was almost sold out. They actually added a screening for the next day because demand seemed to be so high. It seems like they could’ve at least kept it around for a second weekend without blowing…
“Wawkin’ in a Winta Wondaland!”
How does this not make the cut? Start over. Add Beebo.
When Kara got some “ Ice cream!”
It almost seems like Disney had little faith in the film and didn’t want to spend additional advertising money on a movie they expected to land with a thud.
John Carter is underrated.
