Edmilson 7,474 Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 That was... surprisingly good! This trailer alone was better than the awful Bill Murray live-action Garfield movies of the 2000s. I loved Garfield ever since watching Garfield and Friends on Cartoon Network before going to school, which only made the disappointment of the 2004 movie feel even worse. Anyway, speaking of that animation, I'd love if this new movie contains some references to Orson's Farm (or U.S. Acres, as it is known in the US).

Quote “Garfield does not have a job, Garfield does not go to school and every day is the same. Nevertheless every Monday is just a reminder that his life is the same old, same old cycling again and for some reason even though his life is pretty much the same every day on Mondays specifically, awful things tend to happen to him physically.” https://www.huffpost.com/entry/jim-davis-explains-why-ga_b_6094892 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Cieply: Movie-wise, The Most Exciting Part Of The Year Is Behind Us Click-bait BS. (Unfortunately, it worked, since I clicked the link.). Guy bases his entire argument on the notion that nothing’s coming up this holiday season that rivals Barbenheimer, then lists a half dozen movies that are collectively more interesting and appealing to audiences than those two pictures were. Unless he equates “exciting” with box office, which is disingenuous to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,375 Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Sandra Bullock was born in 1964. If she was playing a character her own age in Oceans 8, how can that character be a child in 1962? Clooney was born in 1961 so it's kinda wonky too. I guess they're rectroactively saying both characters were older than their actors to make this setting work...

Edmilson 7,474 Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 I like the first three of them, even though I admit they're the big responsibles (along with the bad reception of Die Another Day) for making action (and especifically espionage) movies way less fun and entertaining and way darker, more realistic and paranoid. I wonder what happened in the alternate universe where the big buzzy "this ain't your dad's James Bond" spy movie of 2002 wasn't The Bourne Identity but rather xXx.

Glóin the Dark 1,223 Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 I prefer The Bourne Ultimatum - it being the best and purest exhibition of the series's main selling point, which is the virtuosity of its action set-pieces. When I want to see humans doing human stuff there are countless better options. I didn't much like Jason Bourne, though, so another instalment isn't likely to interest me much. In fact, even though I thought The Bourne Legacy was alright, I'd prefer it if they had just left it as a trilogy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmilson 7,474 Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 On his new blog, Scott Mendelson kinda summed it up what can we expect from the big studios next year (aka the year after the strike): Quote Beginning with Wonka this week and continuing into 2024, Warner Bros. Discovery is aiming for a full-throated theatrical comeback, with or without the likes of Aquaman 2 next week and Joker 2 next October. In a year when strike-related delays have created a movie schedule vacuum that could be worse than 2021 – three underperforming MCU movies are better for theaters than just one MCU movie – WBD could be a by-default box office champion even if they don’t have anything resembling a Barbie-sized mega-smash. They are closing out the year with three big holiday releases and then will offer eight major theatrical titles (Dune 2, Godzilla x Kong, Bong Joon Ho’s Mickey 17, George Miller’s Furiosa, Ishana Shyamalan’s The Watchers, M. Night Shyamalan's Trap and both parts of Kevin Costner’s western epic Horizons: An American Saga) between March 1 and Aug 16. Counting, uh, #AquaWonkaPurple, that’s eleven movies over nine months. They’ll close out the year with Beetlejuice 2 on Sept. 6, the Lady Gaga-starring Joker Folie a Deux on October 4, the David Zaslav-greenlit Robert De Niro-starring mob flick Alto Guys on Nov. 15 and the animated The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim on Dec. 13. Comparatively, Disney has – for the entire year -- five Fox flicks (The Auteur, a prequel to The Omen, sequels to Deadpool and Planet of the Apes and an in-between-quel in the Alien series) plus Pixar’s Inside Out 2 in June and the Barry Jenkins-directed Mufasa: The Lion King at Christmas. That’s one reason the Mouse House will release the three Pixar films that went straight to Disney+, Soul, Luca and Turning Red, into theaters early next year. With Elio, Snow White, Captain America: Brave New World and Thunderbolts sent to 2025, Disney proper is almost taking the year off. Paramount has just four films between January 12 (Mean Girls) and June 28 (A Quiet Place: Day One), with the original fantasy If and a Bob Marley biopic in between. However, they could end strong with Gladiator 2 in November and Sonic the Hedgehog 3 in December. To be fair, Sony has a decent-sized slate, including three non-MCU Marvel movies (Madame Web, Kraven the Hunter and Venom 3), Bad Boys 4 and Ghostbusters: The Frozen Empire. Universal -- this year’s market share champion thanks to The Super Mario Bros. Movie and Oppenheimer, along with breakouts like Five Nights at Freddy’s -- has its usual deluge of movies big (Twisters) and small (Lisa Frankenstein). Comcast – saving theatrical (partially to boost PVOD) since Come Play on Oct. 30, 2020! https://scottmendelson.substack.com/p/wonka-and-dune-hope-to-launch-a-year Disney's schedule looks pitiful.
