PS- interesting side-note. Why is the multiplex not showing the Wes Anderson movie? That has to be relegated to art houses? Really?

Wes Anderson movies are art house movies with a seemingly niche audience. I would assume that means that they don't historically do well in the box office, especially when compared with historical "blockbusters." Too bad (for theater owners) today's "blockbusters" are all flops, but they still have the studios pushing for screen time with possible contracts saying X amount of screens for X amount of time.

I found every Wes Anderson project that I have tried to watch an utter bore, yet I would rather watch a one of them, than Indiana Jones 4 or 5.

then it should have focused on Roswell more and less on fucking up Mayan history. there were no interdimensional cake eaters there. at least work with the Aztecs who were very close to where Roswell happened and they disappeared mysteriously. there was a story there.

It was supposed to. Frank Darabont had a script submitted but it was shot down I guess by Luca$.

They are artsy fartsy films, but they are also funny and entertaining. I guess it's not for the people looking for pure spectacle and escapism. I like stuff that makes you think about it afterwards. Sometimes WA does a really slow burn and those films can get boring at times. But a film like Life Aquatic is just action and hilarity throughout.

This film has to make a Billion to even break even. Let that sink in.

And supposedly there's a rumor that a bunch of turmoil is going on at LucasFilm. Latest rumor is KK's email has been shut off and her calendar has 2 week's paid vacation on it.

I don't like or care about the characters nor do I like his sense of humor. The best I can say about Wes Anderson is that they are all very beautifully shot films.

but is it Steelbook worthy? Xarpolis ?

Nope. I would have to watch it and if I liked it, then consider a steelbook. I have done neither of these things, so I won't. And then the collector in me would make me go back and buy the Steelbooks for the other 4 movies... Pass.

100% copium rumor

What a shit film. No real plot. Mostly dumb chase scenes. Flat characters, the woman is annoying, charmless and ugly.

Was there even a single moment of actual funny in that overrated piece of garbage? One actual laugh?

the new rumor is she might not get fired, but she will be demoted and Lucasfilm to be split off into different pieces. film and streaming or some nonsense. only thing we can do is keep treating her films like the shit that they are. Indy 5 is comin along nicely. its not even doing better than The Flash.

Are these companies held hostage if you're a woman or minority? There is no way she can continue to destroy IPs (are any left now to destroy?) and keep her job. This is insanity. Yeah, I know, welcome to clown world. But there has to be a breaking point sometime.

Goatface · Jul 1, 2023

i hope she is made lord emperor of all things disney

Women are highly protected in those exec jobs unless they really screw the company over. It has to be getting to that point with Kennedy soon.

Soon? She has cost the company billions in revenue by destroying extremely valuable IPs. I can’t think of anyone single handedly causing so much destruction to a publicly traded company and remaining in power for so long.
