the people of Nanking were civilians. The people of Japan killed 200,000 of them

Terrible movies make money all the time. The first two Charlie’s Angels movies were big hits because the studio advertised them at everyone. For the Banks version, the studio was seemingly afraid to market it at men, and the movie suffered for it.

Yeah, those 5 year olds who got a nuke dropped on them really had them coming. Serves them right for being born in a country with a bad government.

Not only that, but in just two weekends Barbie has unseated Fast X and is now the #3 movie of the year, and beating Guardians of the Galaxy for the #2 spot seems almost a certainty. The only question is if she’ll do it next weekend or the one after, which depends mostly on how well people turn out for the Ninja…

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 really liked the whole thing about her secretly being a mutant who’d lived multiple lives, it added a lot to her character. But now it all seems to have been forgotten and she’s just kind of generically evil.

I just want to know why he went back to the 90's costume with all the pouches. What’s even supposed to be in the pouches? More sunglasses?

It was pretty upbeat for a while, there. The mutants were actually winning for once.

Well it looks like Forge, their primary mutant inventor, has been busy working on a “city of the future” concept, while Orchis’ people have been working on “kill all the mutants” technology. Basically, the mutants lost because they’re not total assholes who devote 100% of their resources toward hurting others.

Immortal X-Men has been doing a great job of challenging Charles’ beliefs without killing millions of mutants, too.

Well, look at it this way: Sony just delayed a bunch of movies, some for nearly a year. Most of these movies are completed. The delays are because they are worried the strike will leave them without enough content to release next year, so they have to push stuff back. If they really thought AI writing would save them,…

Given that the first two movies both suffered delays without a strike, I’m pretty sure this would have happened to the third as well. Across the Spider-Verse was pushed back 13 months from its original release date, and by all accounts Beyond’s animation is even more complex.

This makes Elon look much cooler than he deserves, honestly.

To be fair, I also have $8,000 AND my dignity.

But then you won’t be able to rewatch stuff like Willow...oh, right.

there were a fair number of writers and actors who welcomed Netflix’s upfront payments in lieu of residual payouts initially

They could call it “Star Conflict.”

I’m kind of surprised this wasn’t sent straight to Disney Plus.

They released the highest-grossing film of the summer, Guardians of the Galaxy 3, which has made eight times more than Sound of Freedom. Their only real flop this year was Indiana Jones, and even that mess is on track to end up with around $400 million.

Because some genius at Disney thought “Barbie? No one’s going to want to see that!”
