As BO openings dwindle, I wonder when the influencers will consent to simultaneous cinema & streaming openings. Of late there have been many movies I’d have bought full-price outright on release day - but they weren’t available, and I’ll not enter a cinema any more. Thanks to delay between cinema vs streaming release, I may as well wait a bit longer and get it cheaper (while watching what I likewise waited for, cheaper).
3D is the only remaining reason for paying for a cinema showing, and the only really compelling (considering >$30 one viewing vs <$20 owning) 3D titles were Avatar, Beowulf, and Christmas Carol.
When Hollywood makes a movie these days then the whole point of the movie is to push their agenda.
No Thanks.
Ford v Ferrari
No "wokeness". No SJW nonsense. No token pandering. Just real men being real men driving really fast cars in the mid 1960s. Real men who love their sons and are married to loyal wives who support them.
Yes, it features Matt Damon playing Carroll Shelby but if you can get past that, it's a great film, the way Hollywood used to make them.
Maybe Hollywood needs Harvey to go back to pre screening the talent...Too soon?
Too many of the remakes are just mimics of the original — similar script, similar plots, similar catch-phrases and spoken lines, etc. The same with series movies.
Where they cannot come up with new originality, they gloss over with supposed-to-impress computer generated graphics.
If anything shows a modicum of success, the industry floods us with mimics and rehashes.
A dyke and two brownies.
Two words: Kristen Stewart.
Can’t act. Dumb as a bag of hammers.
Didn’t even know they were making a Charlie’s angels reboot.
Seems like th studio knew this was a bomb and didn’t spend a dollar on marketing
Guess what. Women don’t like that “woke” shyt either. Aside from the tiny percentage of total loons.
Someone in Tinseltown wanted to get rid of Elizabeth Banks.
It is going to sink like a stone and will be gone from theaters by the day before Thanksgiving. Even the NYT's reviewer said it was a stinker.
What works?! Good storytelling with engaging actors performing well. What's so hard about that? But film makers today are more concerned with wokeness. As Louis B Mayer said, 'if you want to send a message, use Western Union.'
“Elizabeth Banks-directed-written and produced”
Total Trump hater.
What a shame for her. *smirk*
Reboot #1 was campy. Reboot #2 was #MeToo woke.
“Garsh, Mickey...why are so many new SJW, fem and gay movies doing so gosh darned bad? I just don’t get it... “
Get woke, go broke.
Make money with good old fashioned conservative valued films is all they have to do.
But... they are not learning.
Go woke, go broke.
5th franchise proving “go woke go broke”.
Terminator
Ghostbusters
Godzilla
Men in Black
X-Men
Social justice is in the process of killing Star Wars.
When it comes to TV, the black remake of “Charmed” has failed, and they’re killing Doctor Who.
Hollywood needs to hire writers who are NOT butt kissers of the white liberal ‘elites’ running Hollywood.
Hollywood’s been making movies for the 2% for a long time - and people are sick of being preached to
AND at by phony garbage ‘elites’...
