Use his actual Norse title and call him “Baldur the Beautiful,” cowards.

Agatha Christie literally has her self-insert character explain that she doesn’t want to hear about how poisons actually work because she doesn’t care.

Nobody cares about that. The point of a murder mystery is to follow internal logic and have believable human motivations. Because you can’t write a mystery with the assumption that everyone is an expert at pharmacology and nobody want to sit through a tedious lecture about how medicine works.

I was impressed with how generous of an actor Cena is. He’s fun, but he’s also willing to play along to allow other actors to really shine. He’s not protective of his role as the “silliest superhero in the room,” and that makes the show work.

He nails the extreme portrayal of what a corporation really means when it says it wants its employees to be “family.” They want the loyalty, sacrifice, and dedication, they want surface courtesy, enthusiasm, and humor. But they react with aggressive cruelty whenever an employee seeks real connection.

Dune literally has the line, “There is no escape—we pay for the violence of our ancestors.”

Apparently the director (Reeves?) doesn’t want to. He was asked and refused.

I think he lit his relationship with Netflix on fire. So that’s not happening.

It’s weird seeing someone who somehow doesn’t understand the human imagination.

I don’t think it’s about being “appreciative”. It’s about giving them a reason not to cancel. Basically create they thought, “Oh, I can’t suspend yet, Knives Out is next month!”

I don’t entirely know, but one of Netflix’s goals is to combat churn. So they’re not only seeking new subscribers, but constantly trying to have new exciting things on the horizon to keep people subscribed. Maybe this was the one they had scheduled for Christmas. The week in November certainly got the buzz and…

Seems believable to me that it would fail - I never understood why they’d do a sequel in the first place. But then I don’t understand the appeal of plenty of movies/tv shows...  The reviews have been positive, so maybe curiosity will bring people to theaters?

I mean yes. But considering it was a movie involving children and child/young actors, any push to have the characters be realistically emaciated/thin would be grossly unethical. 

Yeah that’s the point. People saw Dr Strange for Wanda and the numerous cameos that they used heavily in marketing the movie. So I’m not sure what you’re talking about. 

Well he also alienated everyone internal to the company and fired popular rivals. That didn’t help. 

Not really. Plenty of these small movies can’t open with string per-theater averages.  They’re important to know if and when the movies go wide. 

Calling multiverse of madness “a doctor strange sequel” is silly. That was the movie they went all out selling with a bazillion cameos from as yet unseen new characters. 

Presumably Okoye and the fact that all the world’s super powers were destabilized and barely taking care of their own business, let alone contemplating going to war with Wakanda?

Wasn’t it Queen Romana who was the ruler during the Blip? They reference it during one of those news segments. 

Everyone I know who bothers to have an opinion on this is wavering between “amused” and “guiltily looking forward to the gossip.”
