Whenever I'm feeling particularly anxious or depressed, this is one of the first songs I go to.

I'm of real mixed emotions here. I totally understand why latino/a folks want this film to succeed, there has never really been a film to this scale to feature as predominantly a latin-american cast as this one, and that's certainly a big moment. I have a latino friend who is going purely for how big a moment it is for representation of his culture and I get it.

However, so much of the complaints about how iffy the film's likely performance I've seen really border damn close to just complaining about the strike "ruining" things for people (like we didn't all know this film had 'potential bust' written all over it for a long time now) and studios' plans. And frankly, while I certainly hope for more latin-american representation all across film, I also think that trying to save Warner Bros Discovery from their own disasterous decision is counterproductive to wishes of future good quality and original programming

Not the first nor last time Nico Rosberg is guilty of being a total ass.

This exactly. Just because the charges dismissed against somebody doesn't mean the internal investigations didn't make it clear they'd be better off without his influence, and it also doesn't mean the person is innocent of being deeply toxic and likely to run into issues again, it just means a prosecutor wasn't willing to risk anything other than a clear win as so often happens with these types of cases.

I really tried on the Ms. Marvel series but it was not for me and I knew it by the second episode, and Captain Marvel was one of the most formulaic, underbaked films of that Phase. Maybe it is just because Guardians being done means whatever strong investments I once had in the MCU are fading away because it's all just too much of the same, but really nothing that screams out to me that this will be enjoyable though I will ultimately see it (a couple friends and I see every MCU movie despite most of us being super burnt out)

Was coming here to basically say this, that religious epics were once a source of great filmmaking in classic Hollywood.

I can't blame people for staying away from The Flash, the moment they decided not to ditch Ezra Miller I knew I wasn't gonna pay a dime to go see that movie despite Keaton and the role it plays in resetting the DC Cinematic Universe. Which isn't to mention that the trailers didn't do much to pitch more than a fairly mid-superhero movie coasting on crossovers, which sooo many people are burnt out on these days.

I really liked the film Booksmart, which is kind of like a genderswapped Superbad, definitely worth a watch.

Was coming here to mention Gore. It really isn't very often you see a politician of any stripe show a genuine sense of humor about themselves, and willingness to just get a little silly.

Huge, huge fan of grindhouse and exploitation films. I'm primarily a classic horror guy in my orientation, so a lot of my grindhouse favorites tend to be like early slashers (TCM, Black Christmas, Halloween), early Wes Craven films, Italian giallo imports and low budget Roger Corman-produced films.

That said everything from blaxploitation to ozploitation produced a lot of gems too.

Kind of wish there was an alternate career paths for filmmakers with vision than to get plugged into the Disney machine. Lament the death of the mainstream, mid-budget drama.

Straight up didn't know that existed, but apparently a lot of other people didn't either.
