[quote]when you allow them to rent the movie two weeks after its theatrical premiere (looking at you, Fall Guy),[/quote] Sure, but people didn't know it would be available on demand 17 days after opening before it opened. The studio decided that after the lackluster opening. Your point stands ...

[quote]whenever I hear writers complaining about being short staffed I always remember that Woody Allen wrote Annie Hall by himself in 4 days[/quote] And then totally scrapped not just the script but the entire premise of the movie, after shooting the damn thing, entirely reconstructing what he s...
[quote]PCU has been blackballed for years on streaming... And we all know why...[/quote] Because it was bomb that was forgotten instantly by almost everyone that has really expensive music rights that would need to be cleared. Seems very likely that 20th Century hasn't felt incentivized to deal w...
[quote]All these are on Archive.org. I've watched them all there within the last year.[/quote] Mallrats is available for and rent and purchase everywhere. Ernest Goes to Camp has been available on Hulu within the past year. These aren't being hidden from us. ...
[quote]you publicly announced it's all connected so people would watch. No intention to connect and shoved DEI down our throats[/quote] What? It was all connected, just like they said it would be, and it became too much homework for everyone. You missed or ignored a point just so you could ma...

[quote]I’m simply citing history with Wreck It Ralph as a fair comparison.[/quote] Why is wreck it Ralph 2 a fair comparison? What do the movies have in common besides being under the "animation" umbrella genre? Different studios, different styles of storytelling. Wreck it Ralph 2 is in no way a ...

[quote]Oh wow, go from being the leading man in two hit movies to a TV show a decade later. Interesting career choice.[/quote] Hackers was a bomb and Trainspotting was a popular indie movie that was financially irrelevant, and wasn't seen by many people until it was found much later on DVD. H...
[quote]I once gave a biology test with the answers written on the board and only 1 kid passed. I gave a history test with the following question: The Pilgrims came to America seeking ________. One kid wrote "attention".[/quote] If your biology test was about pilgrims, you're probably a pretty s...

[quote]Hell, William Munny had a black partner 3p years ago and Hell on Wheels had a black railroad chief of police to go along with the black track crew.[/quote] These are unrealistic? You know you can Google things, right?...
[quote]Nevermind. I get it now.[/quote] Do you? You've stanned for Perlmutter in multiple threads, and you just ignore that his legacy as a marvel executive is putting toy sales above ALL else. He cheaped out on creative talent for the comics, resulting in perceived dip in quality and a very real...
[quote]What a bunch of pussies! And they're wearing masks outside.[/quote] In the two videos you guys have been reposting, the demographic most consistently and visibly wearing masks is the cops......
[quote]The talented people that built and guided the MCI to greatness, no longer run things[/quote] [quote]Dr Doom requires nuance and subtlety. He requires a writer that can actually conceptualize what a genius level villain can do.[/quote] Well, the talented people that built and guided the MC...
Lol. They still sell the toys, dude....

re: How would you rank these 5 movies:

1. Zone of Interest 2. Dunkirk 3. Oppenheimer 4. Imitation Game 5. Hacksaw Ridge ...
[quote]The tweet that sent me to the article actually had that quote.[/quote] Yes. And that quote is in the context of her saying it made for an extremely awkward first day of filming a movie. Which makes sense....
[quote]Exactly. You signed a contract and got paid and now you want to bitch. That is fine, but I don't care. At all.[/quote] The article is her talking about how it was a really difficult scene to film on the first day of shooting, but that it was ultimately a fine experience and that the scene ...

re: Have protests ever changed a mind?

Posted by Jay Are on 5/2/24 at 12:47 am
[quote]I just don't understand having a protest at a random college town for something that is occurring 6,000 miles away. If they want to protest, go to DC where policy is made.[/quote] The college protests didn't start as a way to change government policy, though I'm sure the students would lik...
