My buisness model??

Wow, no mention of the Batman issue? That is a good portion of the THR article this articel is based on.

The THR article addresses this.

I am much the same, watched Capaldi but disliked most of it. We watched the chibnal era, but it was not “must watch” for us in the way everything up to Capaldi was.

Yeah meant ROS, sorry!  No Brain gud.

“The trick is to make them charming and entertaining enough, so you can easily enjoy watching them do stuff without caring that they’re bad people (or still feeling sympathetic to them). Good villain protagonist stuff.”

For me, the only parts that really SHINE are when Ledger is on the screen. He captures something really unique in his take on Mister J.

Most people have never seen the original medium stories. Her journey started in 2008, and has been, until recently, entirely animated.

It doesnt need to be a jumping off point, but it sure as hell needs a way to onboard viewers who have gotten into Star Wars again because of the Mandolorian.

I think it has a lot to do with the post covid box office malaise. Even stuff like Transformers is now doing: “It’s the movie version of this one Cartoon from the 9o’s that most people didnt see but the fanbase wont shut up about!”

Well he is right that it is strangely absent from any of the places you would expect it.

Yeah that it is so late in the year is really werid, but then BBC has been dysfunctional about Dr Who pretty much from episode 1 onwards!

They’ve been pretty consistant that the specials will start airing in November 2023, havent they?

I still think the problem with Keaton is simply that the key demographic of movie goers (18-35) have no connection with his Batman at all, if they even knew he was one.

OP’s Statement: “Nolan has never asked his mainly white, mainly male core audience to care about women or other cultures the way Tarantino does (if from a very white male perspective). All of Nolan themes are extremely stereotypically male and nerdy: crime drama, heist film, revenge, hard sci-fi, WWII, Batman, etc.”

They are now very affordable, so it is the perfect time to Buy.

Yeah, it started as:

But QT is still making “Mens movies for MEN!” and the gaze he uses is still a very unquestioning White Male. It is absolutlely baked into the genres he references and clearly loves.

Fincher was definitely in the running, but I think Tarrantino still works.

Its not whether they overlap, its that peak Kubrick was 64-80, with his best stuff being in the 60's and very early 70's with Strangelove, 2001 and Clockwork orange. Obviously he made important films all the way through, but his peak time was that era.
