It’s worth noting that the original Avatar, Black Panther & Knives Out were also nominated for PGAs (they didn’t exist in the 80s when the original Top Gun was released). For an example of a superhero movie that was nominated but whose sequel was not, there’s both Wonder Woman & Deadpool. All three Lord of the Rings…

I think Hildur isn’t eligible for an Original Score Oscar for Tar, because they used so much existing music and Lydia’s own composition is unfinished. But critics (perfectly justifiably!) like Tar, so they awarded her for that rather than Women Talking. Hildur did provide a lot of non-score sound (that’s her hitting…

The budget appears to have been less than 200 million, so it’s still a very profitable movie.

If a film isn’t actually good it won’t stick around long. An underperforming sequel may slash enthusiasm for future installments. Last year’s Jurassic World: Dominion, for instance, reunited the original cast of Jurassic Park, only to waste them on a poorly constructed retread of tired ideas. The film wasn’t just bad,…

I’m only interested in watching the original pilot written by Josh Friedman and directed by Scott Derrickson.

Foreign language films get remakes for people who want to watch in their own language. There will be plenty of people who will watch this rather than the games.

I’m somewhat surprised the apparently French director didn’t get a Francophone for that role.

It’s particularly funny for Miguel Sapochnik to accept the award for House of the Dragon when he already quit the show.

This is AV Club, not i09.

We do, in the very comment in which you deny that’s the case.

Angela Basset won Best Supporting Actor

Stephanie Hsu wasn’t nominated by the Globes. Although even if she had been, I would still pick Condon.

Producer James Wan also has a story-by credit on this film. I don’t know if Gerard Johnstone will be the one who directs the sequel, since Blumhouse sometimes changes that up, but Wan himself got to direct the first two Insidious & Conjuring movies before handing off each franchise to others. James DeMonaco directed…

I was under the impression M3GAN was inches taller than Violet McGraw.

The makers of M3GAN certainly don’t believe no one should make any more killer doll movies, since they’re going to make a sequel.

Yes, but I would have been a kid when I saw that.

I say Banshees should win Best Comedy, Best Actor and Best Supporting Actress. It was the best film of 2022 that I saw.

M3GAN is targeted at kids watching TikTok videos.
