Strange how the announcement for an upcoming sequel to an 80s film so savagely skewers Disney's endless beatings of a dead horse with remakes and sequels (although WB and Paramount get ribbed a bit as well)

I had already forgotten she won! :lol: Forty/fifty years from now, when Saldana passes, she'll be referred to as "Oscar winner..." in obits, and people will look back at what she won for, and be like -- :oops: It's already embarrassing now! Emilia Perez was such a bad film, so completely ...

But I think it's fair to say we all have a line which taints a performer once it's been crossed -- certainly in regard to certain types of roles. It's hard for me to look at the childlike Pee-Wee Herman after Paul Reubens' "movie theater incident". It's hard to accept John Lennon waxing l...

I think everyone has at least one performer and/or director that gets on their nerves due to their personal conduct. I know I have a small handful , but will also concede that I admired some of their work (I think Mia Farrow is a very dubious woman at best and her claim that Woody Allen had his way ...

LOOKING FOR MR. GOODBAR (1977) 1/10 https://www.metacritic.com/a/img/catalog/provider/2/13/2-49192aff292f4d006b79cc96f100833f.jpg Here's a candidate for one of the ickiest, most "dirty" looking and feeling studio films I've ever watched. Diane Keaton plays the wannabe-sexually liberated h...

Hey, I'm sure the ankle-biters will be pleased, but when they grow up (hell, when they hit their late-teens), they'll look back at these live-action remakes and realize how awful they are compared to the originals. What's sadder is a lot of kids will see these first . :( In a way, the millennials a...

Hurricane (1979) 2 of 10 -The demise of the disaster movie genre in the late 70s is often attributed to the dual rise of sci-fi blockbusters like "Star Wars" and also the fact that Irwin Allen churned out one bad disaster film after another starting with "The Swarm". But it wasn...

I keep waiting for it to be added to Wikipedia's list of the biggest box office bombs....

Sure, it's just barely pushed past $200 million worldwide, but that is still less than the film cost before reshoots. So it had lost a lot. Probably more than Disney is saying out loud.

Disney's creative bankruptcy extending to TV now -- they're "rebooting" a whole bunch of old series from BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER to SCRUBS and MALCOLM IN THE MIDDLE. Absolutely pathetic. https://deadline.com/2025/05/disney-tv-studios-eric-schrier-interview-fox-animation-reboots-123637789...

Meet Joe Black (1998) -- 8/10 There is much to admire about Meet Joe Black, and I would say that it is a very good film with one major flaw. This film, concerning the angel of death (Brad Pitt) giving a dying tycoon (Anthony Hopkins) a few extra days of life so that he can find out what life is like...

His 1978 film, Who is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe, is a real gem.

The video above might be onto something with the whole fact that so many films are shot anymore against a green screen, rather than against actual backdrops, but truthfully, I think that digital itself is the main culprit. The first films ever released on digital were in 1999, and it completely took...

He had been ill for so long, and had been frank about his trials, and yet his death seems unexpected and very sad. He was magnificent in Tombstone and hilarious in Top Secret. And I treasure his vocal performance in The Prince of Egypt.

Disney is claiming a loss of "only" $115 million, but that seems dubious to me since they are predicting $100 million domestic, $125 elsewhere in the world. I doubt it will make it to the domestic figure especially (it was at $66 million as of yesterday), the release of Minecraft on Friday...
