I've written about #boxoffice for decades, but this still needs to be said: A film flopping on its opening weekend does not negate your enjoyment of it, nor should it impact your desire to see it. It is not a retroactive critical consensus nor is it an affront to you personally.

I know the Internet likes to pretend that #ChrisPratt is the final boss of Hollywood, but he's really downright terrific in #GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol3 . It's probably his best blockbuster-y performance to date (give or take his self-critical duel role in LEGO MOVIE 2).

@BrettRedacted Honestly, I'd argue Damon has a long history of giving thoughtful performances that somewhat blend in the background for the purpose of giving his co-stars the spotlight.

Many of the films being pulled off of Hulu and Disney+ were supposed to be theatrical releases, but they went to streaming amid COVID or because Disney didn't want some (formerly Fox) films to go to HBO Max first. And now they are being indefinitely disappeared.

None of these things were caused by Disney. A studio is not responsible for how their competition reacts to their respective successes and failures.

Daily remainder: Because of Disney: 1) SS and JL were reshot and the entire universe was changed. 2) Dark Phoenix was reshot and New Mutants will never come out. 3) Amazing Spider-Man’s universe was destroyed. And you kids are still surprised why Scorsese despises MCU.

#JohnWick4 is, at least from a technical pov, one of the greatest Hollywood action movies ever made. It's visually gorgeous w/ stunningly complicated & creative setpieces. I honestly don't know how they safely did some of these scenes. It's a towering artistic achievement.

#AvatarTheWayOfWater should be at around $881 million worldwide tomorrow, so it'll sadly have to wait until mid-week to pass $900 million and (horrors) its third weekend to pass $1 billion global. It has already earned more overseas ($602 million) than 'The Rise of Skywalker'

The notion of Warner Bros shifting to 20-25 theatrical movies a year is a net positive. You cannot make 25 DC, HARRY POTTER, LOONEY TUNES, MONSTERVERSE andCONJURING movies a year. By default, we're going to get some (maybe many) old-school *movies* amid the tentpoles.

Total arbitrary pettiness, but I will chuckle if Apple wins a Best Picture Oscar before Netflix.

I like THE IRISHMAN a lot. I like many DC and MCU movies. I'm also quite fond of the likes of US, HUSTLERS, BLOCKERS, LITTLE WOMEN, etc. This is because I don't encase my self-esteem within a movie or franchise. Unless you come for MEET THE ROBINSONS, then I will f***ing cut you.

Can't believe this still needs to be explained, but being in opposition to the actions of the Israeli government (as of Nov. 3, 76% of Israelis wanted Netanyahu to resign) is not inherently antisemitic any more than was being against Bush's post-9/11 "war on terror" unpatriotic.

Short take - Disney got greedy and Sony realized they'd rather have 100% of their biggest franchise, even Feige-free SPIDER-MAN 3 and SPIDER-MAN 4 earns less worldwide versus co-financing (50/50 as requested by the Mouse) with a studio that already has most of the cookies.

Raimi is a villain because he had Scarlet Witch breaking 100% bad after a TV show where she broke 83% bad. The Russos showed respect by chucking the first two major not-just-a-love-interest MCU female superheroes off the same cliff in two consecutive movies so men could be sad.

Say what you want about the Russos, but they handled every single character in their Avengers movies with a ton of care. Raimi didn't even watch Wandavision before Doctor Strange 2, how do you expect him to understand all the characters well enough for a Secret Wars movie?
