To add to this, stop buying DVDs. Blu-Rays are better ( most of the time) and your PlayStation 3-5 and Xbox One/Series can play them

this tv show finale in theatres shit is embarrassing. stay in your lane

now everyone's saying $600M on a $200M budget is a success lol, because it is. where was this energy for superman?

Maybe I was a bit over zealous earlier lol. But does Mike Jackson have the best 3 album run in music??

The first trailer for Zach Cregger's ‘RESIDENT EVIL’ has been released. In theaters on September 18.

It’s absolutely not crazy to say Stevie Wonder, David Bowie, Marvin Gaye, Kate Bush or Black Sabbath are greater musical artists than Michael Jackson. It’s just not crazy to say at all

It's interesting that A24 is not-so-quietly recruiting filmmakers like Kane Parsons, Curry Barker, the Philippou brothers, Ian Tuason -- all guys who created viral content prior to their big-screen debuts. The next generation of filmmakers will already come with their own built-in audiences because they cut their teeth creating content on YouTube or elsewhere. Everyone likes to rag on influencer culture, but not enough are talking about the positives of YouTube creators shaking up the movie business -- Markiplier among them, too. I'm sure A24 is trying to get him to make his next movie there as we speak.

Fixed it

I’ve been reading the discourse around Michael, and even without seeing it yet, I have a pretty good sense of what the issue is. A lot of critics seem to want the film to be something it’s not. They’re looking for a deeper exploration of the backstory and the controversy, rather than a more streamlined, accessible version of the story. On the flip side, general audiences often just want to hear the music, watch the performances, and have a good time. I don’t think either perspective is wrong, but that disconnect between expectations is where the divide comes from. More broadly, I think it’s a real issue that many people in my field struggle to engage with a film on its own terms, instead of judging it against what they think it should be, especially when it comes to movies that are centered around real people. I remember the same debate around The Greatest Showman, which I personally love. A common criticism was that P.T. Barnum was a terrible person and that the film glossed over that reality. But that was never the point of the movie. It wasn’t trying to be a historically accurate portrait. Instead, it was a musical about dreams, identity, and embracing what makes you different. I think this kind of mismatch in expectations is a big reason why there’s such a growing divide between critics and general audiences. At the same time, it goes both ways. Critics often champion more awards-driven films that can be inaccessible, and general audiences sometimes go in expecting something different and come away disappointed. The disconnect isn’t one-sided. This is happening across both groups.
