That's Blockbusters.

Everyone’s on the table. I wouldn’t be surprised by some blockbusters.
Do you have a thought on who might be a possible surprise trade candidate? Possibly Jihaad

Summer blockbusters are basically a constant attempt to outdo one another in terms of make rich and handsome people wear the silliest hats possible.

You'd think that after CLAYFACE, they would see how moneyball math could work for them so they're not so reliant on $150m blockbusters, but hey...

Favorite film score of all time?
Perhaps too easy, mine is THE MISSION by Ennio Morricone.
From Giallo to Spaghetti Western...
From Malick to DePalma...
From THE THING to THE HATEFUL EIGHT...
Classics, International, Blockbusters, Morricone did it all. Incredible. BOTD 11/10/1928.

Godzilla based blockbusters only from now on

This is some bullshit.
Superman was one of last year's most beloved blockbusters.
Not to mention Clayface making bank and every DC show on HBOmax being a hit.
I hated Lanterns, but there's no denying it's success.
Even Supergirl would've done ok with a better release date.

Box office reportedly played a role in Skydance’s decision to remove James Gunn and Peter Safran from DC Studios.
• ‘SUPERGIRL’ was a major box office failure
• ‘SUPERMAN’ made $618M, but Skydance felt it lacked “pop culture impact”

I love how Gillian Anderson was treated/expected to be just another Hollywood ingenue starting out, but she’s actually this total weirdo who’ll do the strangest parts in the tiniest things while still winning Emmys and popping up in blockbusters. What a great path.

It makes you think why most VFX heavy blockbusters have to go through so many layers of approval. Cut the red tape and go directly to the filmmaker.

Because profitability is measured in actual dollars, not multiples. There's a finite number of theatrical windows per year. Godzilla minus Zero will likely make $100M domestic, on a budget of $18M. That's awesome but like...that's a lot less *in absolute terms* than modern blockbusters make.
A corporate entertainment story I’m fascinated by is why Godzilla Minus Zero (budget: $18mn) Everything Everywhere All At Once (budget in today’s money: c$35mn) or Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die ($20mn) have not resulted “maybe we should do better cost control” from the big Hollywood studios.

why a movie poster from a romcom from the mid-80s looks so much better than most posters from blockbusters today?

Though superhero blockbusters are "four quadrant movies," their roots lie in stories that were crafted, primarily, for kids and teens. And when you are growing up, you deserve to read and see things that provoke thought. Spider-Man 2 did that for me.

The kids are alright…
The Rise of the Gen Z Cinephile
Teens and 20-somethings are flocking to blockbusters, indies and classics alike, buoying U.S. theaters. Covid isolation and social media have a lot to do with it.

in the span of like 2 years the dcu has had proven success at doing big budget blockbusters, mid budget film, live action TV streaming shows and animated shows, with only one flop in that time, which is kind of an incredible feat
also very funny to see the spin happening in real time. a week ago clayface was looking like a pretty decent mid-budget success, today it's a bomb. lanterns was one of the biggest hbo streaming shows, but today it "didn't capture the zeitgeist"
literally no way in hell does DCU survive yet another reboot lmao. might as well just pack it in now

I remember reading that Stargate and The Mummy were two of the last blockbusters to use an ocean of extras instead of CGI, and maybe I'm being delusional but I reckon you can tell watching them.

I first saw it when I was 10-ish? Definitely around the time where we went to BlockBusters (RIP to the homie) nearly weekly

I'd argue this extends beyond blockbusters. I ding American films far more for sloppy filmmaking than Asian countries.

And you can make memorable and unique action films. Bollywood is pulverizing Hollywood in this regard! Even ridiculously bad movies like Saaho remain exceptionally memorable cause they swing so much wider. We're just not making blockbusters like that over here.
