The Cinematic Motion Picture News Thread

I saw it, it was not good. But it had a few fun elements, namely Pierce Brosnan and a few of the action scenes. It was better than Black Panther 2 at least. And it has the most annoying kid character in the history of cinema

D*mn. There are a lot of those to choose from.

I have zero interest in seeing this. Less than zero, almost.

[Jorge]

On further thought, this kid character was slightly less annoying than the kid from The Babadook

Don't watch it, it is a waste of time

[lennytheweedwhacker]

Okay, I won't. What is one of your 3 favorite kid roles?

Despite one of the most aggressive marketing campaigns in recent memory, Black Adam stands to lose Warners $100 million theatrically: https://variety.com/2022/film/box-offic ... 235449487/

was it that agressive?

[Jorge]

Super aggressive. Black Panther's was tame by comparison. Maybe 'cause I was in the US during its release, but the Black Adam TV spots and billboards were everywhere

[lennytheweedwhacker]

I'm sorry your experience in America was tainted by that.

seemed very pale and normal here. I only kinda thought The Rock was behind it too much, with twitter and instagram but thats about it.

[BurtReynolds]

I think The Rock being the biggest movie star today says more about the state of movie stars than The Rock. Is anybody at home thinking "oh man the new Rock movie is out!"? No. No they are not.

[Ello Sailor]

Of course they are. Idiots and children love that guy.

[Jorge]

I think it's easy to fall into that kind of thinking but yes, I am certain there are some people out there going "oh man, the new The Rock movie is out"

[tragabigzanda]

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. 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.

[Ello Sailor]

You should help him kickstart his rap career.

[VinylGuy]

He has a weird career I guess? Not sure how many of his movies are actually box office hits.

[Ello Sailor]

Bozos love the Fast and the Furious movies. How many of those did he do?

[BurtReynolds]

Yeah but people aren't watching Fast and the Furious movies because of The Rock.

[lennytheweedwhacker]

Yeah but people aren't watching Fast and the Furious movies because of The Rock.

Ludacris.

How do you know so much about how stupid people think, Burt?

[BurtReynolds]

lucky guess
