Re: Variety: Blair Witch cast speaks out on "reprehensible behavior" by filmmakers & studio

What a shameful exploitation of three actors who earned the studio hundreds of millions, yet got compensated with pennies. :x

Re: BLADE Remake "Stripped Down" to Blade "Killing Vampires"

Evidently they're having issues with tone and style. Make a PG-13 that goes light on the horror elements and you lose the hardcore audience for this movie. But make an R rated BLADE movie only for the hardcore, and you probably aren't making big money in the first place. An R-rated Blade movie coul...

Re: BEVERLY HILLS COP: AXEL F - July (Netflix)

Got the BHC trilogy on UHD recently, and watched the sequels for the first time. Uhhhh... - Beverly Hills Cop (1984): 8.5/10 - Beverly Hills Cop II (1987): 4/10 - Beverly Hills Cop III (1994): 1.5/10 https://c.tenor.com/WlpHpZTEPL8AAAAd/bh187-beverly-hills-cop.gif Martin Brest's 1984 action/comedy r...

Re: Disney preemptively calling out the -ists and -phobes again...!

This is so bad I can't even raise my remote to turn it on, not even as junk in the background while I do this nutty "AI training" crap I'm doing on the side. I can't even "hate watch" most Disney stuff now. I've become completely numbed. It's like that scene in The Wrestler wher...

But it cost $75 million(!!).

Re: Weekend Box-Office 6/2 - FURIOSA Free Falls To 3rd Place

Pity Furiosa's doing so poorly, as it's one of the rare movies (especially post-2020) I've rolled out for a second viewing of less than two weeks after it opened.

"Tracking" and pre-booking doesn't take into account that the age range most likely to roll out for this are just gonna walk up to the ticket counter.

Re: Disney preemptively calling out the -ists and -phobes again...!

So they are saying anyone who is fussy and effete is "obviously gay". Isn't that kind of insulting to gay men? I remember my mother insisting that Niles on Frasier was gay, when Dan Butler, who played horndog, devoutly heterosexual radio producer Bob "Bulldog" Briscoe, was the o...

Re: "Kiss The Girl" lyrics changed so Eric doesn't "force himself" on Ariel

Insane post from BR.com... The Little Mermaid live action film is one of the best films if not the best Disney live action film ever. It is pure Disney magic and Halle Bailey is wonderful as Ariel. They also fixed some of the story elements from the animated version that didn't make much sense. Live...
