The reason why that Gran Turismo beat Barbie on Friday is that the studio counted all the money it made on previews the past two weeks in Friday’s tally. That’s pretty sneaky.
Yes, but surely the Yu Yu Hakusho live action remake will break the unbroken streak of poorly received anime adaptations.
‘Reactions’ are just out-sourced press releases. Change my mind.
The only day that Gran Turismo beat Barbie was Friday which doesn’t bode well for Gran Turismo’s long term success at the box office. We will see a big drop off next weekend for it. Blue Beetle did better than I thought this weekend so maybe it can scratch out a halfway decent run.
It’s baffling to me that the studio just didn’t recast the part, because Miller is not a star, and apart from that one cameo on the Flash TV show, the last time they’d played the character was in 2017's Justice League, a movie that was not a hit. And yes, technically they were in the 2021 director’s cut of Justice…
This seems like a silly question to me. Of course the addition of one joke Clooney cameo did not affect the film reception to any significant degree.
I mean nothing short of “they re-cast Barry Allen to be someone who is not a kidnapper” would have gotten me to buy a ticket to see this in the theater.
“Bad photoshop” does not produce cars with headlights in the trunk and women with three legs unless the person at the computer is drunk as fuck.
I’m at a loss trying to explain how this horrific poster could have been released to media. The backwards red car right in the foreground is reason enough for pause, nevermind the multitudes of other errors and weirdness - did people look at this thing and go like, “naaah, they’ll never notice that”, or what?
One of my personal pet peeves about the AI “prompt-gineers” (aside from, you know, the theft of art and labour etc etc all that) is that they will “produce” a piece of work with shockingly obvious issues that wouldn’t fly past the eye of even an armature artist....and just say “fuck it, good enough. Post”
Eight…
Hire human beings/real artists, you sacks of shit.
Where were they supposed to find artists who know Fallout?
“Jesus, we told them we weren’t going to meet any of their demands, what MORE do they want???”
This is really stupid. Any competent negotiator could tell you not to make ultimatums like this.
Sarandos too. Like, the loopholes these guys find are why everyone in the industry except execs are getting paid less than they were 10 years ago, you’re not going to reason with them. Their goal is to one day have a company with only middlemen, jacking each other off and giving notes.
Why are the studio heads the ones in the room making offers? They should be sending their best professional negotiators, not the morons who got into this mess in the first place. There is absolutely no “good faith negotiation” that involves the physical presence of David Zaslav.
Studios: “We’ve tried nothing and we’re all outta ideas!”
STUDIO EXECS: Maybe, if we try another slimy, underhanded maneuver, it’ll somehow make the unions cave?
