The trailers were underwhelmingly meh.  This concept only works in 2019 for porn parodies.

PP2 made a bunch of money because the first one was awesome.  She did not direct the awesome one.

This is the problem with Hollywood’s current approach to many big budget films for women...

One of the comment people here (Batista Thumbs Up) had a pretty good reply in the last Newswire post on this. Basically, nobody cares about Charlie’s Angels as a property - the only reason the 2000 movie was even as a successful as it was, was because two of the three leads were super-stars at the time (and this made

Only other movie she’s directed was Pitch Perfect 2, and I didn’t see anybody watching that and praising her direction. It was a bad movie. Maybe producing and acting’s more her thing?

The trailers made it seem like it was forcibly “for women” rather than being a good movie with women in it. It looked bad in every respect—awful music choices, unfunny retorts, bad action, unclear plot. In contrast, take Atomic Blonde, which has a kick-ass female protagonist that didn’t need to constantly remind us of

The marketing for this movie sucked. The promos were all the same: overstuffed with characters, a lot of dialogue that doesn’t mean anything (and difficult to hear in the first trailer), incomprehensible plot, no significant set-pieces teased. There was nothing to grab you and make you think this movie could compete

Was Charlie’s Angels ever really for women though? I thought the whole point was that it was super male gazey. (This is a genuine question; I’m too young to have seen the show.)

That’s kinda true but on the other hand Spider-Man is actually a good property whereas Charlie’s Angels was only ever ‘meh’ at its best. 

This isn’t making electric cars cool, it’s just diluting what the Mustang is.

Would you be super “scared” of the hyperbole headline then?

How about the mistake of buying a series of websites and then somehow through complete incompetence and malice flushed their popularity down the toilet?

Who gives a fuck about what Cardi B thinks? Where’s Ja????

NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR BONER

That definitely plays a factor. Its pretty easy to read too much into the performance of this and all apologies as a prelude to a suicide note, but nevertheless, it makes it seem all the more heartbreaking and sad.

That the album came out after Cobain’s death gave it such emotional resonance. You feel like this is a man calling out desperately for help.  I guess it’s also important to see it as a performance, recorded well before the actual suicide and the events leading up to it.   

the cover of “where did you sleep last night?” from this is musical perfection. glad that kurt turned down an encore, stating that he could not outdo that performance. 

A police officer couldn’t open the doors because the handles were retracted and bystanders watched helplessly as the car filled with smoke and flames,”

Why not just break the window?

This is a very sad story. This lawsuit will be thrown out.
