- Comment on The Black Phone 2 director describes the sequel as a high school coming-of-age film 6 hours ago:
They’ve obviously got a great angle on this from Joe Hill and, as there are two dead characters in the cast list, with a large piece of the “lore” being the ability to see dead people (I consider this a semi-official version of The Shine) I’d imagine that will be a key part of the story. He just wants to move on, study, date, see his friends, etc and yet…

Watch the first one and go with your friend to see the sequel, it’s really good.
- Comment on Is Smile worth a watch? 21 hours ago:
I wasn’t that bowled over by Smile as it seemed like another one of those “concept” horror movies, a poor man’s It Follows. However, other people liked it more and you kinda have to watch it before watching Smile 2, which is one of the best horror movies of the year.
So if you like horror, then I’d recommend watching it, if only as set-up for the sequel, which is a must-see.

But he admits a theatrical version would be “enormous fun”, and they are open to the idea.
Given the fact that the musical was a license to print money that seems inevitable but in a landscape of hostility to reboots this could be the angle a movie exec needs to make another Warriors film too.

They haven’t released any details on things like price and availability. We’ll be keeping an eye out for it though and will post when we know.

But it’s carbon capture and storage as it will live on your shelf for your lifetime and then, hopefully, raise a pretty penny on eBay so it can sit on someone else’s shelf.

I read a while back about the efforts people go to in order to keep the vinyl pressing machines going. I imagine they are cannibalising old equipment to help the last few limp along.

That’s what killed it for me. Early on.I thought they’d be OK but they broke me and I, mentally, went “well you can fuck right off with this nonsense” and then they kept piling it on. It would have been bad in a cheap fan film and I have no idea what possessed them to do it.

They have been selling off houses in Liverpool for £1 - rough area and they needed a lot of work doing, plus the Council had a lot of rules in place (so could take it back if the work hadn’t progressed far enough). It seemed a major undertaking but worked for some people.

Also people bought them many years ago and they are still chugging along, so they have no desire to upgrade.

I got to see Gladiator on the biggest screen available this week and it still packs a punch. The sequel will really have it’s work cut out to even get close.

- Comment on Why did Joker 2 lose so much money? And how on earth did it cost so much in the first place? 5 days ago:
No, it’s not terrible but could have been so much better. I think it is partly taking a beating because some fans see it as a direct insult to them for caring about the first film. I can see the point Todd Phillips is trying to make but I don’t think he realises that it has pretty much made both films largely irrelevant.

- Comment on Why did Joker 2 lose so much money? And how on earth did it cost so much in the first place? 5 days ago:
A number of films had minimal marketing because the studios knew they were going to crash and burn (Borderlands, Megalopolis, etc) but I am unsure about Joker - both it and Megalopolis have had a lot of press in the build up to their release and afterwards (often not very flattering press but still…). They’ve both had a lot of posts here so it would have been difficult to avoid.

It actually made a quadrillion Jokeroonies - it did so well that they had to invent a new currency. Unfortunately, it means we can’t compare its box office with anything else, but it definitely did really well.
