But Indiana Jones is way too popular of a brand to let it just end, right?

The “double the budget” adage people throw around is a bit of a misnomer, as the margin to profit can vary wildly from project to project. That $170m production budget doesn’t include the deluge of marketing and merchandising. It probably turned a profit, eventually, but Legacy lost Disney money in its theatrical run.

I’ve only seen the original Tron maybe twice, ever, and had zero expectations going into Legacy...and it’s barely even a movie. At best it’s an empty nostalgia play to something that wasn’t particularly great to begin with, at worst it’s a glorified feature-length video for Daft Punk’s exquisite soundtrack.

As an AMD user who has and will never buy an Nvidia gpu, FSR sucks compared to DLSS. Even FSR 2.2, the newest version, pales in comparison to older version of DLSS.

Also, fwiw, PC gamers are generally into PC gaming (at least in part) because they like the customizability, they like being able to tinker and play with…

Pirating is a moral imperative.

Unlike most subscription services, including Xbox Game Pass, which usually take an all-you-can-consume approach from a curated list of titles, the $8/month or $60/year (there also appears to be a limited time discount of $1 for the first month for everyone subscribing before July 31) Meta Quest+ service only provides…

TSS had the unfortunate luck of being one of the first big movies released “post-covid”...when rational people were still not willing to risk their health to go to the movies, and it released on HBO day-and-date, which effectively killed whatever potential it had at the box office.

No one cares...and that’s not me being flippant.

It’s important to remember that the vast majority of people are not chronically online, do not follow movie or celebrity news, and have no idea Miller has done anything (the vast majority of people don’t even know who Miller is).

Ezra’s behavior has little, if anything,…

To be fair, Jim Ryan has proven multiple times over that he is a fucking moron.

While Edge of Tomorrow—which is nearly a decade old at this point, but is somehow just as fresh and entertaining as it was in 2014...

I thought the design of Kabal was decent enough, but he’s little more than a glorified extra, and while I get what they were going for with Kano (and thought Josh Lawson did an admirable job, given the terrible material he had to work with), the character in the movie is less Kano and more evil Johnny Cage.

It’s insane, it’s almost as if that whole intro was written/directed/shot/edited by an entirely different creative team.

I don’t generally get mad at movies, even bad movies, but that goddamn MK movie is worse than bad, it’s straight up incompetent as a piece of media. The script is abysmal, the direction is amateur, the editing feels like an early assembly cut, the cgi sucks, the fight choreography is non-existent., etc., etc., etc. 

It’…

Ok...but the text that was written does, and Gunn said in the initial announcement that Morrison run was what the film will be based on.

Gunn has said he’s tried to use Ambush Bug before, but there’s some weird rights issues that would have to get figured out. Granted, that was before he was running the studio, so maybe they’ll figure them out now?

Previously, Gunn and Safran had this to say about the next Batman film, which will cast a new Caped Crusader and Boy Wonder. his is the story of Damian Wayne,” Gunn said. “Batman’s actual son who we didn’t know existed for the first eight to 10 years of his life. He was raised as a little murderer, an assassin. He’s…

Morbius 2 is “possible.”

Further refinement.

Man of Steel isn’t necessarily a bad movie, viewed in a vacuum, it’s just a bad Superman movie.

Snyder said his goal was to do a deconstruction, to start from nothing and build Clark into Superman, which...I get the inclination to take that approach after a near century of stories, and that can work for a lot of…

Fun fact: The overwhelming majority of Extended Star Wars Universe (as it existed pre-Disney, when they made the whole thing infinitely smaller) stories did not feature lightsabers.

Lightsabers are one tiny facet of many, many, many, many, many, many things that make up that universe. We don’t need them in EVERYTHING…
