While I definitely want Bill Hader (and Kaling) to return, I see both sides of it. I can understand Hader wanting a reasonable raise for the sequel and I can understand how Pixar doesn't want to pay him more because losing him won't have any effect on the movie's grosses.
I have to question the sanity of people mentioning when AI is being used in a project like this. Those two letters strike fear in the heart of anyone who actually likes art and it creates an instant bias or suspicion of it. People freaked out when the 'new' Beatles song was going to use AI as if...
Yeah, I don't have complex taxes but I still pay to have them done each year simply because I'm afraid of making a mistake and ending up in jail. :laugh:
After that, he went on to True Lies, Titanic and the Avatar movies so I'd say that that roll has yet to end. There's certainly movies of his that I like more than others but there's not a dud in Cameron's filmography.
Agreed. I'm not particularly bothered by what has been done to Aliens but to me, there's no difference between degraining Aliens or erasing the snake reflection in Raiders Of The Lost Ark or adding a dinosaur to Star Wars. A change is a change.
Releasing The Phantom Menace against The Fall Guy probably seemed like a decent idea (it's May 4th that weekend, Star Wars is always popular) but I think The Fall Guy is gonna take a bigger bite than Disney expected.
That's the best one but the Joe Dante It's A Good Life is fun too. Even with the dark cloud over the Landis segment, that one is still better than the Spielberg segment. However, my understanding is that Spielberg shot his after the accident on Landis' segment so he was stuck in the contract and...
I like your optimism but unfortunately, I think the only people who care about this are the ones who have continued to buy discs this whole time. I'm sure these movies are doing amazing numbers for catalog titles in 2024 but the industry knows that, outside of the original Star Wars trilogy...
It's actually the second remake as there was also a TV movie version in the late 90's or early 2000's. As someone who owns them all, you're fine missing them. :laugh:
Even when I was young, I was out of step with what was popular and I've heard maybe five Billie Eilish songs so what do I know but I think she's popular as a performer because there's a truth to her singing her songs. She's certainly not going to come out like Elton John or Freddy Mercury and...
Absolutely agree. This isn't meant to be a backhanded compliment to Butler but with Elvis, I wondered if maybe that was a case of the right actor in the right part so it worked well but to me, this performance proves that Butler is a fantastic actor. I'm sure that he will be working with big...
Never say never but I don't believe that article and I've never heard of that site. Why would Disney put out Star Wars movies against the Planet Of The Apes (which they own) or Furiosa?
But yeah, if it actually happens, there will be people wondering if it's going to be the original versions...
Agreed. They could make a string of movies that are better than what they've previously done and it's still not going to capture the public's attention the way that it did because it's not new anymore. That doesn't mean that they can't make good movies or that they can't still have hits but the...
I understand that you're broadly correct on the topic and I'm just being a broken record (no pun intended) on the topic but why did they make a huge deal out of this release and have months of extra lead time yet still screw it up? The whole point of the early announcement should have been to...
Or they're coming back as is reasonable to expect today. I don't know the specifics but I'd bet that football is probably the only thing that can reliably pull 20 million viewers in the modern TV ratings landscape. Yes, it's nowhere near where it used to be but the world has changed.
