You're a bad man.

The lack of hype for Inside Out 2 just has me bewildered though. It's not like last year with Barbie, which also netted a similar haul at the box office, and even if you weren't planning on seeing it, it was hard to avoid the hysterical hype around it.
 
Even without the "Barbenheimer" cross-marketing gimmick, I think we'd still have been easily exposed to it. But for Inside Out 2, I just can't get my head around the BO tally and its lack of hype... anywhere. Not on social media, TV or radio advertising, outdoor advertising, YouTube ads, print media, or anywhere else in the public conversation, as if only people with special private invitations saw it, and all remained hush-hush about it.

I'd only just heard of this movie yesterday when I read a Top 10 worldwide box office post on X, and I had to look it up to find out whether this thing was real. What kind of Hollywood accounting racket is this where movies just manifest out of nowhere and net a billion and a half with no hype whatsoever??

You're a bad man.

Why attack LLL? Aren't they our friends now?

I just hope they don't reissue Damnation Alley after what I just paid....

You're not going to pay any attention to these reports of the "Shadow"...
 

I saw that movie, The Net, with that girl from The Bus.

Many of us in this forum actually do. That's many more than "nobody".

Said who?
And this is not even about filmmaking, it's about music presentation.

Nobody will ever notice that. Filmmaking is not about the tiny details, it's about the big picture. 

Sorry, I meant 2002
 

America peaked in 1989

@Unlucky Bastard I see you just reacted confusedly to this six year old post of mine, and I wonder if this was the bit you took issue with? For what it's worth, after Intrada's most recent remastered expansion of Extreme Prejudice, the score has increased in my estimation and I enjoy it much more than Not Without My Daughter at this point.

I can understand that entire list to an extent, with the exception of Congo and Bad Girls. Though I don't think either one should be on a list of his greatest works (I certainly wasn't suggesting Bad Girls as a score that would make your top 10), to my ears they were both very solid scores with some wonderful highlights. I did share a 9+ minute suite of Bad Girls when I recommended it (albeit ranked #4 out of 5) further up in this thread -- do you not like *that* material? If you didn't, I don't know why you bought the album!
 
Not Without My Daughter is a "meh" score to me, but I also kinda don't understand the extreme hate towards that score. I mean, the movie is offensively racist and I guess the score suffers by being associated with it, but I think the music has its moments. I'd rather listen to it than Extreme Prejudice any day, and that score seems to have many more fans which I have trouble understanding.

Why can't you just answer the question?

"ManyYyYy..."

Rowling isn't doing any favors for the coming series by announcing her involvement, but Francesca Gardiner (besides working on Succession she executive produced Killing Eve and His Dark Materials) and Mark Mylod (besides Succession, he directed The Menu and six of the best episodes from the latter half of Game of Thrones, all rated 8.3-9.1 on IMDb) both have an impressive track record, so this news makes me pretty optimistic.
