Lol. Where the fuck did you hear that bullshit? Not only is adapted far more stacked than original, Gerwig or anyone else on the production can’t choose shit. It’s the writer's branch that decides the placing ultimately, regardless of campaign. In this case, the simple fact that the titles literally say "based on…

Oh boy, pity anyone that has to submit a screenplay to you. Jesus Christ, you’re pathetic.

Except the viewership for Hot Ones can vary wildly depending on the guest. It’s hardly gonna break records with what’s-her-face on and it would have minimal impact on the box office.

The first movie isn’t about how eternal life is awful. It’s about how eternal life without normal pleasures is awful. That’s the literal curse in the title of the movie. The Fountain of Youth would have presumably been all the positives, none of the negatives (I honestly cant remember how it actually shaped up in the…

Last weekend was not a photo finish. Not even close, as Barbie was way behind. WB overestimated it by a couple million, but I suppose you people can't be bothered using facts.

Movies don’t completely disappear from cinemas when they become available on PVOD.

Even ignoring every other point you wrongly make...the highest grossing WW2 movie is Dunkirk, another Nolan flick, that has nothing to do with America. It also has plenty of action and is half the length of Oppenheimer. After that you have Saving Private Ryan and Pearl Harbour. All in all movies that can be sold based…

No. But Nolan is famous for not doing a million takes, and always coming in under budget and ahead of schedule. This is how he does it.

The first was a fairly hard PG-13, with some good scares and visuals - at a time when Blade had come and gone without ever breaking out big, and the standard for superhero movies was fairly cookie-cutter action. With how far the boundaries have been pushed - and DC themselves having done a few R-rated comic book…

You should rewatch it. It was a good 5-10 years ahead of its time. It’s dripping with atmosphere, it’s a lot more methodical than “superhero” movies were at the time, the cinematography and aesthetics are quite a draw and, despite having a lot of exposition and world-building, it never gets bogged down.

I love Ragnarok. And I completely understand why the reception is worse than that. This is Ragnarok dialed up to 12. Thor is downright moronic in here (whereas in Ragnarok he was lovably dumb at times, but he never comes across as incompetent or Simple Jack, which he absolutely does in this, especially in the first…

I found it “meh” as I left the cinema but the more I think about it the more I think it’s outright bad - possibly the worst of the MCU. The jokes don’t land and the ones that do get overused to the point where they become annoying.

I found No Way Home to be near-enough atrocious, held together by nostalgia and little else.

Easter...

OK. Can you now tell us about the moon landing, and the Nazi-led Ukrainian WMD programs?

Meh... Not really the best comparison. New Mutants was completed, and Fox made it very clear some productions would continue if they were in development (see Free Guy, West Side Story, Avatar sequels etc) while others would be cut and entire divisions would be shuttered. Hell, Spies in Disguise was released - because…

Indeed. I very much felt that, if you plopped Batman into Dark City, he’d be right at home, because that is very much how Gotham feels at times.

The Batman is set in “year 2". If this is a prequel, with his rise through the Maroni and Falcone organisations, then there would be no Batman.

So you were happy to carry 3 charged batteries with you, but now that you can’t do that, you prefer complaining about the good ol’ days instead of carrying a portable charger?

Editing being cut is insane, especially considering how often it goes hand-in-hand with Picture, for nominations, if not outright wins.
