Thank you Sir, one of my favorites from my Universal box set

In my opinion, its less of a genre fatigue and more of a "fatigue of mediocrity"

No one would be complaining if what disney was pumping out has been high quality, but it isnt.

Realistically, it comes down the piss poor management on behalf of Kathleen Kennedy for Star Wars, and Kevin Feige for Marvel. Really out of character for someone like Feige who shepherded 23 films averaging a billion dollars each in a row..

However my theory is Bob Chapek really fucked him over by mandating content for Disney+ in the wake of Endgame becoming the highest grossing feature ever.

You and thr guy next to you in the theater having shit taste or short attention spans isn't much of a comment on the movie.

I watched it and I walked away thinking to myself "I need to lose some fucking weight before I end up like this poor bastard"

> Look at Bohemian Rhapsody or The Greatest Showman. Bohemian Rhapsody made almost a billion dollars, The Greatest Showman 450 million, La La Land made almost 450 million and Little Women (2019) made 200 million. Those aren't action movies.

And all of these came out during the "superhero era" so....what exactly is it you are trying to say???

I felt very similar about the ending. I consider the ending to have pacing problems. One board room meeting and whammo >!she's in another country starting over.!<

"By thst logic no one has ever give a bad performance"

Most actors aren't performing someone putting on airs and giving a performance. Something tha actually is comparable, for reference, is Mark Ruffalo in Shutter Island, playing a psychiatrist pretending to be a cop. It seems like Ruffalo is awful in the movie until you find out what's going on.

My girlfriend and I just didn't get the hype around this movie, but then she went and got high and suddenly she REALLY understood the hype.

I wonder if it was "inspired by" Johnnie To's Mad Detective?

Supply and demand would occur and one or two super hero films would show up.

"Apparently".

They will continue churning out the only scifi/fantasy films on the market until they are no longer profitable. They don't have a reason to carve out a niche because no one is competing with them.

They can starve out the competition. They don't need a plan - yet.

These varied responses are interesting to me. At the end of the day, its just a movie... There are all kinds of movie themes these days but I don't think I have seen the kind of adverse reaction or suppression of any other genre, especially in this so called "movie" (not "non religious movie") sub reddit who's stated goal is: "The goal of /r/Movies is to provide an inclusive place for discussions and news about films with major releases." Since Jesus Revolution is in the top 10 opening weekend grossing films for 2023 (number 3 last week) you would think there would be a bit more openness, or at least normal conversation that could happen among fellow movie goers... I don't think any other theme gets this kind of reaction but maybe I am wrong... For those willing, just food for thought...

>They need to take more risks with original IP and create something new.

they tried that and we got the Last Jedi

This is one of my favorite movies. I could watch it over and over. Everytime, you would see something different. And Robin Williams as a gay gentleman is awesome!!

*Tollywood not Bollywood

Sure, why not? It's either what people want, or malicious compliance.

But I'm not talking just about indies. Even the average mid-budget movie made money pre-Covid. Look at Bohemian Rhapsody or The Greatest Showman. Bohemian Rhapsody made almost a billion dollars, The Greatest Showman 450 million, La La Land made almost 450 million and Little Women (2019) made 200 million. Those aren't action movies.

And that's ignoring that even into the 80s and 90s, you had films like Erin Brokovich, When Harry Met Sally, Big Daddy and The Sixth Sense in the highest grossing films of the year. It wasn't always just action films all the time making the most money.

Given how low a24 films actually geoss, not sure they'd be doing animated film much of a favor. RLJE, who often distribute to Shudder have branched out more into animation in recent years, picking g up Spine of Night and Mad God.

i thought andor was brilliant and i hope it inspires other showrunners what's possible in storytelling.

Gee, maybe they shouldn’t have tossed 25 years worth of EU material out the window just because they could.

Some of it wasn’t very good, some was excellent, and most of it fell solidly in between.

It’s like they sensed we were getting tired of Luke and Leia and Han saving the galaxy all the time and were clearly setting up to pass the adventures along to the next generation.

I made a choice to not start reading any of the new continuity expanded material when it started coming out. I’m glad I did.

"That's brilliant!"

"I know"

God.
