The most profitable film of the year was basically a feminist screed.

Godzilla making #3 in what was seemingly a limited release is nice to see. 

happy to see people showing out for godzilla that was a ton of fun.

It’s made over $30 million more than Killers of the Flower Moon, so by your metric The Marvels was a better film than Scorsese’s latest.

Yeeeeeaaah, that’s what storytelling needs.. more bureaucratic oversight.

All of the MCU movies have extensive reshoots though. I could’ve sworn they even bragged about it at one point. Last-minute reshoots were highlighted in all those articles about how bad crunch is for Marvel’s VFX vendors. It’s probably why these movies cost so much money too, which is why they need to make so much…

Maybe it was, maybe it wasn’t. It was certainly more than 3 YouTubers (whoops, misread your comment); many reliable commenters here who saw it said it was a lot of fun. I’ve seen negative reviews that agreed that it was a fun movie, but that the flaws outweighed the positives. But even if it WAS bad (again, an opinion…

True, we need to encourage articles like this (and the interview with the actor who played Napoleon in Bill & Ted) because they are more interesting than the latest gossipy “celebrity X may have done something bad/said something stupid” article.

Oh, come on. A beautifully-written, carefully-considered appreciation of a movie the writer clearly loves, and these are the comments it gets?

I’m sure this conversation did start pre-strike, but the timing seems purposeful.

Nah; it’s his story, his characters and his world, and he was pretty heavily involved in the production even if he wasn’t on “set” much; it’s true that Sellick unfairly went largely unrecognised for years (until "Burton did nothing" became a cliche internet "truth bomb"), but Burton absolutely is the creator of it,…

Let me fix that headline for you:

To be fair, Spider-Man was always going to be a fan favorite. He’s been a fan favorite for half a century (ditto Black Panther). But I mention this in another thread - the Russos were a great example of a journeyman directing team. They had some panache, they clearly worked well with the studio brass, and their…

Except for Goldblum?  He is fantastic as Grandmaster.  His smile and little eye movements when he talks about how old he is are perfect.

I get the complaints, but I felt like L&T had a more solid story underneath (even if it often had tonal clashes) while Ragnarok’s felt very thin as it made way for the humor.

I think the issue with HBO Max hurting the HBO brand was less that adding “Max” tainted the brand, and more that nobody knew the fucking difference between HBO Go and HBO Max and HBO was really vague about what the distinctions were. Originally if you had an HBO subscription, you ALSO had a streaming on-demand…

Just MCU films. So not Spider-verse, which was amazing.

Xenk refusing to step aside to avoid a rock in his path is still one of the best jokes I’ve seen in a movie for years.
