    The Marvels (2023)

    This isn't really uncommon (hell, Spielberg famously filmed all of Schindler's List while Jurassic Park was in post production), but it also really isn't uncommon in Marvel movies, especially non-Avengers movies. She's quoted as saying she knew it was a Kevin Feige Production, and there is a...

    The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes (2023)

    There were talks just before release that it may even be 3 parts, but that was before the strikes and the fact that part 1 under performed. But also Black Adam flopped and killed the DCEU and The Rock wants back in, so it could be anything at this point.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Sounds like that is the plan.

    Killers of the Flower Moon

    You'll probably enjoy it better as a 2 parter, which I think breaks out at about 2 hours and 90 minutes. If you stop when Jessie Plemmons first shows up, its pretty much a perfect break between Act I and Act II, cause the movie is formatted much more like a stage play than a traditional movie.

    Marvel Universe stuff

    yeah basically. it can be a number of thing, but yes, large amounts of back story for characters and the world and everyone's motivations; maybe some set design principles, etc. A lot of things the audience will probably never see, but can be referenced by writers to keep things cohesive. Some...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    This also came in conjunction with the news that Marvel never had showrunners or show bibles for their shows, so they were just hoping everything turned out ok from episode to episode with just oversight from the top, but no consistency on the ground. Additionally, they wrapped this...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    I think its just more likely that she invited her girlfriends, one of whom invited her husband, who in turn invited his boyfriend. However, her as a Dazzler cameo or just a song like Celine did would be pretty funny.

    MTG thread

    Judging by the demand and price increases of Baldur's Gate cards following the release of BG3, if Larian had hit their original target, that set would have been much better received at launch. It's a good set, with cool cards, that was lost in the shuffle. And now with the game coming out...

    Snow White (2024)

    Can't believe someone who spends so much time in the movie house doesn't know what Paddington 2 is, the movie that for the longest time held the record for most RT reviews with out a negative (nearly 5 years and like 200+), though Leave No Trace may over take it soon. It was even a joke in...

    The Covenant (2023)

    I think it was in theaters for like 45 minutes, and was released digitally less than 3 weeks after. So it may have done well for Amazon and Vudu, we'll just never really know unless they tell us so.

    Ahsoka

    Technically, these kind of are aimed a consistent set of age groups, if youre a person who has been watching Filoni Star Wars since you were a child. If you started watching Clone Wars when you were 6 or 7, you'd be nearing 20 now. Everyone here has been old from the start, but Filoni is...

    Ahsoka

    Didn't Disney release a list of like 8 episodes of CW/Rebels to watch so you didnt have the watch the whole series, just learn who Ahsoka/Ezra/Sabine etc are before the show?

    Writers Guild Strike 2023

    I think the lawyers are lawyering now to make the agreements into a legal contract, and then they vote next week. But the pickets are over and they are allowed to go back to work, unless for some reason the Union fails to vote to ratify, which seems unlikely as every thing I have seen about it...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Its been long enough that I do agree that this is different than Disney's usual "Add a suffix to a show and say its season 1" changes to fuck their writers, producers and child actors, but those shows were still made by Marvel under the umbrella of Marvel TV, which is now folded into Marvel...

    General Gaming News and Discussion

    Rami was on dropped frames this week, and he is basically the indie game guy, having gone from dev to now doing mostly consultancy for helping people get their projects going. He basically said if they had gone the Unreal route, even if they went 6 or 7 percent, most studios would have just...

    The Flash (2023)

    I think there is a non zero chance (and potentially even a good one) that she ends up being the Gunn Supergirl. He hasn't cast anyone else, and it seemed like he was looking, cause the actress posted she was still in the running for more appearances as Supergirl. She was the only part of...

    The Flash (2023)

    This sounds about right, since the movie was in some stage of production for roughly a decade (Ezra was announced in 2014), and if you count the production they did that eventually went on to be the CW show, a little bit longer than that even.

    TAYLOR SWIFT | THE ERAS TOUR (2023)

    I dont think that article you linked mentioned this, but she fully bypassed the studio system for this movie, and when she tried to sell it to them, the streamers all low balled her. So she went directly to AMC, negotiated a 57/43 ticket price split. I think the amount the movie cost her to make...

    The Flash (2023)

    Also cost less than The Flash

    Ahsoka

    I like that the line around this from SAG/WAG is basically "either they are grossly under or over reporting how well shows are doing, and we want to know which", and it feels like Disney is some how doing both here.

    Immortals of Aveum

    While they probably had some embedded numbers punching them up, they were probably legit, cause I think all 751 of those concurrent steam users were all sponsored streamers and their larger communities (plus front page time). Now no one is being paid, no so one is streaming it.

    No Hard Feelings (2023)

    almost certainly not, just from how the scene was shot. Also one of the funniest scenes in the movie. She also said it wasn't, for whatever that is worth. She had been nude before for red sparrow, so its not new to her.

    Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon (FromSoftware)

    I missed the tetrapod on my first (and second) run through of that mission, and did not need to kill the AC for it to count as complete (cause I had already killed him in prior runs), so it does not seem to need to actually get them all in one run.

    Dune: Part Two (2023)

    Another thought, after the way they released the first one, and now this delay for a completed and marketed movie, I wonder if Villeneuve ends up in the Fuck WB club with Nolan

    Dune: Part Two (2023)

    WB moving the movie they already have multiple trailers for, an Empire cover and photoshoot coming out today, among other marketing, but still have not moved Aquaman 2, which may not even be done yet, has got to piss off the theaters. I wonder how this plays out for the release in March. Movie...

    Ahsoka

    Dave Filoni loves him some wolves, also the two not-Jedi's surnames are Hati and Skoll, who are the two wolves who chase the sun and moon prior to ragnarok. So probably not a coincidence they were added to the mural; either for plot reasons, or just cause the dude just finds wolves fascinating.

    Blue Beetle (2023)

    Had a free night, so I went and saw this. Only one in theatre. Not that this is a high bar to clear, but this was easily the best DCU movie since The Suicide Squad, and probably top 5? (Again not a high bar) It's definitely not a traditional origin movie, but it also doesn't treat the...

    OG Eldraine did have Belle of the Brawl and Lovestruck Beast, they are just dipping into the well the other way now.

    The Last Voyage of the Demeter (2023)

    I can't imagine letting how much a movie made influence my feelings on it. This forum still has a Dredd 2 thread a decade later; and that movie also made about 40 bucks on its opening weekend.

    Barbie (2023)

    I actually wonder who made more money in their capacity as an actor. I would wager most of that windfall is from her role as Producer. She is the one who picked Gerwig and Baumbach, and also got WB to sign off on everything they wanted. And let us not forget that the WB execs who were sure...

    The Meg (2018)

    In layout of the movie yes, but not in scope. Meg 2 definitely cranked it up a notch. Actually probably like 2 to 3 notches.

    The Meg (2018)

    This movie was about as dumb as you would expect for a End of Summer Blockbuster (In that good way for me) These movies both make a lot of money in China and are also financed by a lot of money from China (if that wasn't obvious from all the Chinese actors and dialog in the movies), and the...

    Disney's Lorcana (trading card game)

    Youre right, cause it is and I was wrong; I misremembered and in my head it was 16 cases, but it was actually 6 (i dont actually know if its 4 boxes per case, but I shorthand that in my brain when I need to remember box numbers), they are getting 24 boxes.

    Disney's Lorcana (trading card game)

    Unless your LGS is different than the few I know, the September restock is a whisper of a myth. My LGS is one of the largest for product, and are getting like 64 boxes for wave one, and like 24 in the september restock. Boxes, not cases. This is a store that for most TCGs would get around 1000...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    Because its what the Larian guys said on Dropped Frames when they were talking about release day and they mentioned originally wanting to release earlier. I don't know or really think its going to really blast Steam, but I assume that is why Steam releases most AAA games between 10am and 1pm...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    The size and no preload is why its not a midnight/early euro release, which Larian wanted (being a Belgian studio). Steam is afraid its going to absolutely destroy their servers and want it to have all hands on deck for that.

    Haunted Mansion (2023)

    yeah, I know, and was mostly joking, but only mostly (hell, I went and saw Talk to Me this weekend). Most of the year round horror stuff is smaller and/or indie things. big budget tends to land in the fall, near or around halloween. but now as I type this, I realize that if they go roughly...

    weird how releasing what should clearly be an october movie in July didnt work.
