Tired: placing value on the box office

Wired: placing value on the word of mouth

[Hater Hunter @haterhunter450]

Cope, loser.

Your precious Forgotten Island got the box office fate it deserved by using it as a punching glove to Hoppers and Hexed.

Ya got what ya deserved.

And when Hexed does more than Forgotten Island and Wildwood combined, the joke will be on you.

And honestly, I won’t feel sorry for you.

And why is the word genocide in quotation marks?

Mark Ruffalo Goes Scorched Earth on Paramount-Warner Bros. Merger, Calling Out the Ellison Family’s Complicity in Palestinian ‘Genocide’ https://t.co/rESwZUd9C0

[Cinema from the Spectrum @CFTSDotCom]

Lol. Of course Ellison did.

[TheWrap @TheWrap]

#Exclusive: A Paramount spokesperson has decried Mark Ruffalo’s anti-merger post as “antisemitic” and “a bridge too far” after the actor linked the Ellison family’s business ties to Israel’s military conflict in Gaza.

"The scale of the world increases with more backstory of the in world franchise itself, with Easter eggs scattered throughout to delight fans of the franchise. The more tame violence, not so much."

OK @HertzBarry. We need to pull on the Palaise with a trunk full of your books. Vin will appreciate the hustle.

"The Pitt makes its central idea clear over the course of the season: working in the ER is a constant test of endurance."

This movie feels as craven as the tour Joe Jackson wants to put together for the sake of Michael's brothers.

You mean to tell us that the same man who made a movie that encouraged finger pointing at the screen would be pro-AI? Who'd have guessed?

If you have zero idea what people like us are looking for, then maybe the problem is you.

[Jones Vibes @jonesvibesonly]

We’ve legit lost the plot. I honestly have zero idea what people are looking for these days but there needs to be a major shift in criticism. The movie I saw was well written, well directed, beautifully shot, insanely well performed and the sound was amazing. Are we “film” critics or not. We’re supposed to help paint the picture of what an audience can anticipate and this score is not even close to that picture, objectively.

[Diego Crespo @thediegocrespo]

A great concept artist and always a pleasure to chat with at conventions. The man responsible for a decade and a half of design work. He deserves better.

[Angelo Muredda @amuredda]

I would think it’s more offensive to say “In 10 years the art that you do will be replaced by machines” than “The art that you do is somewhat esoteric and expensive for the average person” but I guess that’s the beauty of actor brain — always keep them guessing

To say this is the #1 sci fi movie in decades ignores that we also had Nope this decade.

[Fandom Pulse @fandompulse]

Project Hail Mary writer Andy Weir on social commentary in books:

"I dislike social commentary. Like… I really hate it. When I’m reading a book, I just want to be entertained, not preached at by the author. Plus, it ruins the wonder of the story if I know the author has a political or social axe to grind. I no longer speculate about all possible outcomes of the story because I know for a fact that the universe of that book will conspire to ensure that the author’s political agenda is validated. I hate that."

"I put no politics or social commentary into my stories at all. Anyone who thinks they see something like that is reading it in on their own. I have no point to make, and I’m not trying to affect the reader’s opinion on anything. My sole job is to entertain, and I stick to that."

"To that end, I also don’t talk about my personal political opinions publicly. I don’t want readers to even know, honestly. I don’t want that in the back of their minds as they read my stuff."

Is this why he has the #1 sci-fi movie in decades?

[Cinema from the Spectrum @CFTSDotCom]

Extremely sad news. The world of cinema has lost a truly singular artist in Shozin Fukui.

We encourage you to watch 964 Pinocchio to celebrate his legacy.
