I blame the idiots who buy the tickets.
Is it good?
They are not supposed to stay dead. A really good horror movie requires at least three post-death reincarnations.
In the John Wick series of movies, one is not really dead unless shot twice in the top of the head.
As Mr. Movie said, If you don’t like a movie it can’t be too short, and if you love a movie it can’t be too long.
This means Robert Downey Jr. can live again as Iron man, which would please me muchly.
Bride of Chuckie nods her cracked porcelain head in agreement.
That was one thing that made Rogue One such a good movie. The heroes did their part in helping others defeat the Death Star, and then they died. No miracle rescue, nothing. Like wat has an actual cost even in Star Wars.
Or alternate timelines, like in “Deadpool And Wolverine”.
I’m binge watching THE WALKING DEAD and no one stays dead in that, either.
Rogue One was the only decent Star Wars movie made in the past 20 years.
Outside of “Revenge Of The Sith”.
In the future nobody in Hollywood will ever die. Our descendants will be watching their avatars still making movies in the 23rd century.
I was going to say I’m camping out to buy tickets for the John Wick 5 movie which hasn’t been filmed yet.
Absolutely love the John Wick movies (missed all of them as they came out but caught up last year).
Quentin Tarantino ones also favorites.
Recommend Vengeance: A Love Story with Nicolas Cage, from the Joyce Carol Oates novel Rape: A Love Story.
Will go to Ballerina soon but I now spinoffs are usually not so good.
About staying dead.
An actor in the X-Files was sadly told by fellow actors one morning “Your character is killed in the script we just saw.”
He said: “Do you mean I’m dead or X-files dead?”
That became a running joke for the people working on the show.
The Native Americans chanting and working on the dead Mulder and then getting back alive was impressive, I thought.
Ha.
You should see the new Mission Impossible movie. Tom Cruise had at least ten life and death close calls. I started laughing inside the theater on the 9th one.
C'mon, Man!
All that needs to be added is a good dose of an Elizabeth Montgomery nose twitch, and, Shazam! All kinds of characters can die to live another day.
