Except that’s not totally true, because Netflix did almost single-handedly kill the home video market, which was lucrative enough to cause movies that bombed in the theater market, yet make bank on VHS/DVD, etc. sales, to get sequels that would make money both in theaters and at home.

You know, you’re not wrong. Back before you could pick seats ahead of time, you would always see stragglers who had to settle for the extremely close front-row seating. Now? That section is almost always empty at pretty much every movie I’ve seen for almost a decade. It’s to the point where I wonder why they even…

May our attention spans continue to regard her for as long as Dory’s would.

I, for one, am shocked that the creative force behind such bloated, over-long vanity projects as Wyatt Earp and The Postman would overplay his hand and severely misjudge how much general audiences would want a frontier fable that’s so sprawling it requires four 3 hour+ instalments to tell it all!

Well, then, you’re pretty much guaranteeing Trump’s gonna win. Somehow, his party is still united behind him. The term “thick as thieves” comes to mind.

The way the headline was worded, I thought this was literally a showcase for a cover of “Falling Slowly,” or something.

It’s because it was produced by Ben Folds. As was that whole album, Has Been. It’s insane how good that entire album is.

...It’ll be like that Spaceballs cartoon show.

Oh, ok. That makes more sense. You know, it’s funny, I never noticed that divide before, but now that you point it out, it does feel a little like an Old Guard/Young Blood dichotomy.

Yeah, I got mixed up and was still talking about Smile with that comment. Saying Possession owes anything to The Ring or Smile would be patently ridiculous.

I got mixed up and thought they were still talking about Smile. Can’t possibly tell you why upon re-read. And thanks to Kinja, can’t go back and correct it. Ah, well.

I am perplexed by your comment. (Re-reads the chain of comments leading up to it...) Ohhhhhh.

Yeah, it had a great concept, but definitely felt like warmed-over leftovers from The Ring and It Follows.

This is a bad idea. You’d think people who were familiar with Possession would know there’s just some things you don’t fuck with.

I apologize for differing with you, but Myers and Sandler were on the show pretty much the same time. Myers was from 1989-1995, whereas Sandler was 1990-1995. That’s only one year where they didn’t overlap.

It’s funny, a lot of people say it wrong. I find it mildly amusing, but it’s one of my wife’s biggest pet peeves. Glad I could be of help!

...unless you’re Mike Myers, for some reason. Which is very odd, because apparently the two get along decently well. They just don’t ever seem to cameo in each other’s movies.

Psst! FYI, it’s “all of the sudden,” not “all the sudden.”

Dear GOD, can we PLEASE be done with the “dramatic trailer version of an iconic song” trend already? It actively sucks any enthusiasm I might potentially feel toward a movie the second I hear that exact same slowed-down, ponderous intonation of iconic lyrics, all set to the exact same drum progression as every other…

Yeah, I’ve been ruminating on my rant ever since, and I do recall other movies that people said were too dark at home as being perfectly fine in the theater. Heck, even these screenshots are subject to it: against the white background of this website, they’re practically unreadable. Transpose the exact same screenshot…
