All the trash comedies that came out in the early ‘00s ruined comedy. Studios started making ‘Scary Movie’ knockoffs that were trash, audiences stopped going to them so studios figured comedies don’t make money anymore and stopped making them.

Pretty much this, that studios consider anything less than a 100%+ ROI is the issue.  That and the creative accounting they do to also claim just about every movie they make is a money loser.

He said, as comedy movie Barbie now tracks 1 billion dollars...

Again for the people in the back: There’s no money in small profits!!

it’s funny because his conclusion (marvel movies negatively effected studio comedies) is basically true, but his reasoning that people would rather see a 200 million dollar spectacle than a relatable comedy is, IMO, false.

Are you serious? They bid way higher than SpaceX. Boeing’s bid was actually higher than buying seats on Soyuz. They got greedy, billed a ton knowing they would get a contract anyway, and then got lazy and stupid and instead of delivering years ago are now bleeding money because they ran it as a cost plus program. This…

Maybe they shouldn’t have lowballed their bid to get the contract. It’s common practice, low ball the price then try to get more money when the actual price is billions more.

Wait, he was in demand after Prometheus? What’s next, Michael Bay to adapt The Three-Body Problem on the strength of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen? Tom Hooper to remake West Side Story after adapting Cats?

You know in Trainspotting when Renton and Sick Boy are having the conversation about great artists who have it but then lose it? I feel like Ridley Scott could easily fit into that category. While his films are still great on a technical level, I don’t think anything touches golden era Scott. He arguably peaked with Gl…

Pretty sure the result of this alternative timeline would have meant that both movies would have sucked instead of just Covenant, so I can’t share the sentiment.

Of all the celebrity woe-is-mes this has to be the most unecessary. Practice some gratitude, man.

James Woods isn’t just an unlikeable protagonist. He’s unlikeable period.

But I thought he was “franchise Viagra!” People are bored of Dwayne. I DO think he’s a genuinely good person, but when folks like John Cena and Dave Bautista are out-acting him, he gets upset and shifts the blame. When a project he’s been pushing for, like, 15 years shits the bed, he gets upset and shifts the…

All of his ballyhooing didn’t get him a movie but it’s gotten him some attention in the press. Mission accomplished.

I could see how these scans could be potentially useful for all kinds of media, but each actor should retain ownership of the scan. Use it any way you want in WandaVision, since you already paid them to be in it. Want to use it in Agatha: Coven of Chaos, though? Better pony up, at the usual rate. If it stops being…

“I was only coming onto Breaking Bad as far as I knew for that one episode, but there’s no accounting for taste, and the fans took a fancy to me,” he said.

When I was younger I fucked up my Spanish and called Hector, Uncle Tio. Rest of the family really laughed at that, Uncle Uncle. But the name stuck and up to Better Call Saul we we’re all just calling everyones favorite bell ringer Uncle Tio.  Fare thee well Mark Margolis.

I would have included Val.

I just watched The Golden Boy on Max. That was pretty damn revealing.
