The problem with the movie started with the long opening flashback to the race. It reminded me of the podracer scene from The Phantom Menace.

Aside from series enders like End Game, no popcorn...

I just don't get the lack of 80s music. Maybe Patty Jenkins wanted to avoid making "the 80s" too much a focal point, but if that's the case why the widescreen shots of an 80s shopping mall? Why the...

Of course it was! The only point of this movie was to be a bridge movie. We all know this movie didn't matter. There were no stakes. The 80s isn't the setting for Wonder Woman stories they are going...

I'm curious to see as well. I feel like people stuck around with the Marvel movies despite so many of the latter half being mediocre because they were already invested and wanted to see it to the...

I thought it was pretty terrible. What's worse, my non comic book fan wife thought it was really terrible. Studios are really messing up by putting out these mediocre super hero movies where nothing...

Getting tired listening to Chris Nolan as the voice for the status quo.

Just get over the theater exclusivity already, it's not going to work. Sure, you can hold off all your movies until covid is over, good luck with that. Or, release them online. Experiment. Not...

Does HBO Max have the streaming rights even before PVOD (Amazon, Apple, etc.)? They couldn't put it on those platforms for $30 or whatever?

Just to be clear, the time from which a movie goes from theater to VOD is usually like 6 months at least. Some times longer. And that's usually a paid VOD service like Apple TV or Amazon. The time...

People said this when Universal first announced they were going straight to VOD. Now look what happened. The other theaters will follow suit, they have to.

Right, those movies are now competing with Netflix and Amazon and Apple movies that are released now on a weekly basis. Some of those are actually very good now. I would have gone to the theater to...

This is a huge win for consumers and for Universal. People gave Universal a lot of crap and said they were putting themselves in a bad situation, but it was always a negotiation tactic. Now this is...

No. WB figures they can make more money hawking their content out to various other streaming services than they can make from people subscribing to their own service(s). So who knows where these...

It certainly feels like a disaster. It's like they took everything you should do when launching a streaming service and did the exact opposite. Here's some things you'd do if you launched a...

What is wrong with you people. :P The X-Files is The X-Files

I think you're overestimating the "want to participate in an event" thing. I don't think most people want to hang out with strangers in a theater. They do it because they have to.

Sure, people...

I'm going to fix WB's branding problem for them:

Content


HBO - Prestige TV and award winning documentaries
Warner Studios - Films
Warner Animation - Animated TV and films.
Adult Swim -...

WB's problem is they always hedge their bets. So instead of having 1 holistic streaming service they have a half dozen (or more). Instead of having a roadmap for their franchise films they...

I can see a small number of theaters staying around as a nostalgia experience, sure.

WarnerMax Studios, there fixed it.

Why in the world are they so obsessed with the HBO brand name. It's not even the prestige network any more, lost that to Netflix.

Warner Bros used to be...

I got it for the discount. Has very little content. Looney Tunes is the best launch title they have. Searched for several movies that JustWatch says are on HBO and Max had none of them.

I'll keep...

Why would people return to theaters when instant VOD is now a thing? Universal already announced it, others will follow suit. Theaters only advantage up to now was their exclusivity window.

Adam Sandler used to be the biggest star in comedy. Yes, it's a step down to now being doing Murder Mystery on Netflix (which I liked!)

Saying it's a step down doesn't imply that it is shameful to be making movies for Netflix. It's 1 step down, not 5 steps down. He could be making movies for Crackle or Hallmark.

Martin Scorsese...

I used the term cinema for a reason. Of course he's still making movies. There are several steps down the ladder before you wash out the back of the business entirely. Going from big budget cinematic...
