  • “Probably”? I’d be shocked that Disney isn’t be willing to release DoD on disc.

  • I’ll give the guys behind CinemaSins this: They started CinemaWins.
  • I think YouTube videos about movies only make sense if you’re gonna provide clips to illustrate points relevant to them. Otherwise, it’s just narcissism at display.
  • I prefer text over videos. Written articles are more accessible because you’re able to read at your own speed, or even jump straight to the main idea presented if you don’t want to read it in full. Looking at the YouTube video, it’s almost 20 min…

  • That thumbnail image says otherwise.
  • I don’t doubt Purvis & Wade had some kind of draft in progress. But that’s accumulating dust as we speak.
  • Press: “So, Eon, what’s the progress with Bond 26?” Eon: “There’s not going to be any progress as long as these strikes happen.” Twitter: “UGH! Eon clearly hates Bond, they don’t want to make any more movies!”

  • The problem with those crowds is that because there’s been an influx of strong female protagonists in the last few years that they’re perceiving Helena to be just another one of those kind of female characters, when she’s clearly not supposed to be.…
  • I wouldn’t call it a guarantee. Because we saw what happened when they tried to bring in Danny Boyle and that didn’t work out. But we’re not gonna learn about anything as long as these strikes persist.
  • He would have been good casting, but I think he’s too old at this point. Felix should be Bond’s peer, and that’s not how it’ll appear if we see a Bond in 30s bonding with a Leiter in his 50s. I didn’t even like seeing the age gap between them in …

  • bondywondy sounds like a lot of men of a certain age out there who feel threatened and insecure about the world changing around them, and so go on lashing out over “wokeism”. Feels uncomfortable watching a movie about an old man who’s reached a low …
  • I would have liked that nod.
  • It’s not fist pumping like other movies but it’s very much in tone with the rest of the film, if one can accept a more somber Indy film.
  • I once joked about how Eon should be making movies only to upset fans, because they seem happiest when they have something to gripe about, like fiddling with the gun barrel again.
  • I can sympathize with not liking story choices filmmakers make, but when one starts claiming the filmmakers set out to intentionally destroy a character for some nefarious reasons, then I think objectivity has been lost. It’s the same thing that mad…

  • I wish more movies were THAT mediocre. I don’t even love DoD. I have my own issues with it. I just think it’s bizarre how some have dog piled on it like it’s some great cinematic crime. OH NO! INDY LIVES IN A CRAPPY APARTMENT?! That’s not f…
  • I’ll never understand hate watching.
  • Wait, you’re watching it for the first time??
  • I’d argue REBEL MOON looks visually better than ARMY OF THE DEAD. I was actually surprised by how bad AOTD looked.

  • More power to you guys. I’m just glad he’s no longer attached to DC or any other IP, he can make his own original films on Netflix. I think he’s better off being his own niche.
  • Being better than TROS is a low bar. But this is coming from the same guy who made SUCKER PUNCH, so I’m not expecting a coherent story from Snyder.
  • “Mr. Snyder, why do you like skulls and axes?” “Yes.”
