A lot of comedies are more fun in the theater, but how many decent comedies actually get made these days? Barbie is the first high profile live action comedy in ages.

The stock price is high at WB right now because Barbie made a mountain of cash, but the people who made that all possible are on strike now, the summer movie season officially ends on Monday, and WB doesn’t have much else in the pipeline, as proven by the fact that they’re delaying theatrical releases of completed…

The publisher’s financial health took a particularly hard hit early this year when CEO Lars Wingefors revealed that a $2 billion deal the company had planned on suddenly fell through at the last minute.

It’s still one of the funniest sitcoms ever, but the show is very much a product of the Obama years. There’s a “yes we can” vibe to it that didn’t feel unusual back then but now feels...I don’t wanna say naive but...aspirational?

I love the way anime episode titles sound like something an old timey newsboy would be shouting on a street corner.

Honestly, it may get a second season based on one simple fact: It’s produced in South Africa, and as such is not subject to the current US actors/writers strike. With production on practically every other Netflix show shut down for God knows how long, One Piece might get renewed even if its ratings are below the usual…

Eh, WW84 wasn’t great, but at least I wasn’t completely sick of the main character two minutes in, which is more than I can say for Flash.

[Studio CEO voice] You moviegoers are so demanding! “I want movies that are good,” “I want movies that don’t star violent kidnappers,” “I don’t want the writers to be homeless.” You’re just not being realistic!

I dont think anyone seriously thought that THIS was going to be the movie that turned around the fortunes of the DCEU, did they?

The irony is, given how expensive it probably was to bring Clooney in, someone at WB absolutely thought that a Clooney cameo would positively impact the movie’s box office.

There is no way they couldn’t have just cast Grant Gustin in this. He knows how to make Barry Allen quirky but likable, and it would have been the perfect capper to his years playing the character. Miller just made Barry annoying.

It seems like too small a change to make a difference. Both endings have the same problem: they trivialize the whole plot of the movie. We’re told throughout the film that Barry has to let his mom die because there’s no telling what horrible butterfly effect consequences could spring out of him changing the future. At…

When you install the game it automatically calls your boss and tells him you quit. This feature cannot be turned off.

1990 guy: Wow, crazy. But I’m sure nothing can top the massive box office frenzy I saw last year, when Michael Keaton played Batman. I mean, that was an unprecedented cultural event.

There’s no money in this anymore.

which was all accepted into the Library of Congress.

Rian made the first movie’s setup more interesting by actually injecting some new ideas into it. Whereas the two Abrams-directed films just insist on force-feeding you the same plot points you already sat through in the original trilogy, with no variance other than “the death star is even bigger now” and more CGI.

Gina can’t hunt herself, come on.

All of those movies are still better than Rise of Skywalker.
