I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

The Rock seems obsessed with showing the movie was a success and Jorge cant stop telling us otherwise.

The Rock was my favorite when I used to watch wrestling (at age 13, the only appropriate age to watch wrestling)

Is that Black Adam movie just The Rock going around beating up mercenaries? Why would anyone watch that? What's the drama?

Speaking of Warners / DC, I liked this bit from the story around the future of Wonder Woman 3
De Luca and Abdy spoke to Jenkins first and communicated that they didn’t get the treatment, didn’t think it was the right direction for the franchise and asked Jenkins if she would consider pitching something else for the IP in another direction.

According to one insider, Jenkins refused and let De Luca and Abdy “know that they were wrong, that they didn’t understand her, didn’t understand the character, didn’t understand character arcs and didn’t understand what Jenkins was trying to do.”

To underscore her point, according to the first insider, Jenkins sent an email to De Luca that ended with a link to the Wikipedia definition of “character arc.”

Good for her. Wonder Woman 1984 is one of the worst movies ever made but I'm a fan of filmmakers standing true to their vision

Yeah it was bad.

Also Patty might consider another job tactic as she doesn’t have the ww3 and the Star Wars movie anymore

Yeah kinda interesting tact to tell the people giving you 200 million to make a movie to keep their notes to themselves but who knows maybe her scripts are hills worth dying on.
