Yup. I couldn't finish Birds of Prey either. Capt. Marvel I reluctantly finished but I wasn't invested in it like I was with the movies previously. A quarter into the movie (at the theater by the way) I would get up and go to the restroom and then get up and go get more snacks, because the hallways, the bar and the concession stand was more interesting.
some of those scenes were so poorly written, its like you could hear the writer's meeting as it progressed in the movie. "ok now make everyone sing on this planet". "why sing?" "i dunno, because its wacky, we want more wacky. now put Brie in a crazy outfit, everyone will be on the floor laughing when she peeks through the tassels"
After so many shit films coming out of Follywood. I'm really starting to lean toward letting AI write the stories and getting rid of the unoriginal, boring, cockwallets in the writers room. Skynet can do it's thing as long as it writes good fucking movies.
I said this in the strike thread, where people kept saying AI wasn't good enough. Yeah, well, human writers are also pretty shit. Can AI really not do better? I'm pretty sure it can handle making crappy reboots and sequels to 40 year old movies.
Hollywood has warehouses filled to the rafters with excellent scripts. They will never get turned into movies, because streaming has killed blu ray sales. Movies would make their profit on blu ray sales, without that, all they have left is blockbuster mentality. This is why all we get now are sequels, prequels, remakes, reboots, and cape shit.
looks like the second most loved actress in Hollywood, Rachel only brought in 44 million in BO for Hunger Games.
hey, i just watch youtube videos and the occasional movie/TV show that is being talked about here. sometimes i actually go to the theater to see a movie, but usually its just high seas stuff.
if they can get RDJ back, they can get anyone back. if they really want to. GotG 3 was the only Disney movie that didnt bomb in theaters this year and it barely made any money. there was no highpoint for the company other than they made other studios more money by driving their core fans away.
I'm almost 100% positive they brought RDJ back because they think it will save the franchise and alleviate some of that "fatigue". Oblivious that people aren't burnt out on superhero movies. They're burnt out on BAD superhero movies and bullshit narratives and forced deep throat agendas.
The problem I had with GOTG 3 was the debbie downer story line. I love me some Rocket, but that backstory could have been cut in half and made the film less depressing.
