Oh hey, I just made a video on Dune 2! Link Below.

Will Robert Pattinson be the DCU’s Batman?.

Superman also has a chance to outgross Batman domestically because Summer weekdays are FAR stronger than march weekdays. If Superman drops around 50% this weekend, $350M appears locked.

Superman's Opening Weekend report:.Domestic - $125M: Great result. Not a home run, but a solid double. Legs were always the more important factor, but this is a win. International - $90M: so looks like Superman is primarily a North American IP.

*cracks fingers.So the Texas Chainsaw Massacre famously doesn't show any of the gore, Saw really doesn't get super gory til the sequels, if you're gonna put Terrifier on here, put 2 for the bedroom scene, and where is Peter Jackson's Braindead??? Above all, that should be N.1.

The worst thing about No Way Home is how studio and empty it feels. Strange and Peter talk on entirely empty streets, every fight is so clearly done on a soundstage. It feels incredibly fake and lifeless visually.

ITS BEEN 8 YEARS SINCE A DC MOVIE OPENED ABOVE $100M?!.

Here's the thing: RJ used his credit off of TLJ to make Knives Out, one of the only new IPs to be made in the last 6 years. Off of this he got $100M to make 2 sequels for Netflix and KEEP the rights. Its in his best interest, financially and critically, to make new stuff.

It’s hard to remember that the first Wonder Woman was beloved and IMO a great film. That’s how terrible 1984 was, it killed any and all enthusiasm.

virgin MCU villain: I believe in a righteous cause, but I want to achieve my goals easily so I'll just murder some innocent bystanders and be surprised when the hero defeats me and saves the status quo. Chad Lex Luthor: I'm upset I'm not god so everyone else will suffer.

One other thing I loved about Superman (2025): Lex Luthor was just fucking evil. I love me a good complicated villain, but we've all seen too much shit to just pretend that the people killing the world have anything but spite in their hearts. There are a Million Luthors out there

So many of our Blockbusters, both from now and from 10-20 years ago, are centred around such naked aggression, an adolescent urge to just thrash out, that it robs their stories of meaning. Both of these movies have great stuff in it, but now I only think of their vapid rage.

I rewatched Redlettermedia's review of Man of Steel recently, and THE single best point they made was how both it and Star Trek Into Darkness had scenes featuring their iconic heroes beating the villains to a pul with their bear fists. That really has been on my mind lately.

It is not a perfect movie, yet instead a movie about the importance of imperfection. It is earnest yet offbeat. insanely topical AND timeless. We are in a world of constant cynicism, and in that world, the most punk rock thing to do is to be honest and pure.

Jurassic World 4 and M:I 8 had fantastic set pieces in spite of their less than plots. Here the narrative and spectacle are in such harmony throughout the entire runtime. I wasn't on the edge of my seat, but I was consistently wowed by the imagination. Act 2 Prison Break MVP

Superman feels like the first proper Superhero film of the current era, a Blockbuster that has more in common with Barbie than Man of Steel or Avengers. It is both the most weirdly prescient Blockbuster in ages, that also has monkeys on computers making mean Superman tweets.

This article is 12 years too late and for the wrong Superman reboot.

My thoughts exactly. Also like Spider-Man 1 it’s elevated by recent real world events.

RT @ballfartmonkey2:

Man of Steels numbers were great in 2013, the DCEU only started to bleed with Justice League. What matters is that the movie opens solid (above $100M), holding well and garnering good will. Only caring about Box Office records is a cancer for this industry.
