Why would they continue it? Leadership aside, the movie didn’t make money. They’re not gonna spend another $200 million on Black Adam 2 when no one showed up to see Black Adam 1.

The fact that you think the average writer lives in a freaking mansion might be the most hilariously naive thing I’ve read in ages.

I love when dummies think it’s the writers who are responsible for the same old ideas being produced when in fact it’s studios who greenlight movies and TV shows. Studios hate originality and demand rehashes because they care about profits not creativity. It was the studios that wanted a Barbie movie. It was the…

From the sound of your comment, you don’t have any new ideas or fresh viewpoints to provide.

Even without the strike, all of the animators quoted in those pieces about the bad labor practices in the last Spiderverse movie said that they were positive the next movie would not make its scheduled release date.

It should be noted, spite also made music better, (one upsmanship in particular) and we are seeing how blah the industry is without it.

Spite films? Larry David would approve.

At least Se7en remains largely untainted by it. If anything, it became slightly less fictional.

I see the incels have found this review.

Man I remember when one of the renditions of this film featured I believe Amy Schumer and I'm sure that version would be slightly differently received.  Its amusing and surreal to see the guy who made Marriage Story and the woman behind Lady Bird working on a Barbie film but boy am I glad they did.  Guess those Lego…

I'm pretty sure "ahead of its time" is the general current critical consensus on that movie, yeah. 

After reading this review, I wonder if Josie and the Pussycats was too soon for this world because that had some great biting satire.

You seem triggered

Because the reference to a famous Japanese novel doesn’t really work outside Japan because most non-Japanese haven’t read it (I have, actually, in translation). And while the movie shares some elements of the novel, such as a protagonist who has lost a parent and is unsure of their place in the world, it’s not really…

Your ex probably isn’t a public figure like Mr Hill is, though...

She’s a surfer and she’s not allowed to surf with men or post photos in a bathing suit? Are you kidding me? That goes way beyond boundaries. He’s asking her to change who she is so he doesn’t feel insecure.

Oh for real, this Indie Cred thing is all bullshit. Christopher Nolan wasn’t called a sellout when he made his first Batman film. Now he has all the clout he needs to make the films he wants to make, let her have the same thing. 

I know right? It bothers me to no end that this media-focused outlet continues to write about one of the few major shows airing new episodes right now.

I’m generally not a fan of the whole nepo-baby discourse because I personally think its reasonable that if you grow up around actors, you’re probably going to want to act and may well be predisposed to be good at it, and it’s dumb to be mad that rich people are born with connections others don’t have.
