I don't know if Fx are dead, Japan made an amazing Godzilla with cinema surround sound. Hopefully they do another Godzilla because Hollywood products are terrible these days
Japanese can put politics into a movie but it is more subtle, does not bash you with a political message
they in Japan export the movie to Western cinema and also somehow did it at a 16 million budget versus Hollyweird's 220 Million + budget with odd nasty weirdo political messages put into movies

Oh. I see. You're just spamming the boards with your bullshit today.
You're sure that you're an adult, right?
*yawn*

Smile was good... mostly. Not pleased with the last 15 or so minutes of it. It was a lot better when they didn't show the monster.
I think I'll add Smile 2 to my list of movies I'm not looking forward to in 2024.
Here's what the director said about it:
Director Parker Finn admitted that he didn’t always intend to make a sequel. He told ComicBook.com: "For me, I never want to retread and just do something I've already done again. "I'd wanna make sure it was surprising and different and not what people were expecting after the first one."
Good luck to you, buddy. I think you already ruined the first movie with your ending to it. Don't have any idea how you're going to recreate that feeling from the first 4/5ths of the first movie after that.

This movie could lose $400 Million for Universal.
$78.15 Million for Argylle now, with less than $5 Million over the 3-day part of the "holiday" weekend, and only $600k on cheap seat Tuesday.
We're only on Day 19, so it's still early in the run. I haven't been tracking the international take on this at all, but it seems to be almost a mirror image of the US box office plus a few points.
It's probably close to $90 Million by the end of next weekend worldwide.
If this flop gets 2 months in the theater before it is yanked, it will crack $100 Million... barely.

My dad was visiting my brother and their two choices for a movie were Argylle or Madame Web.
He asked me if I thought Argylle was worth watching or not. He really does like supporting the local family owned theater down there whenever he can. I told him they should go and see it. Though the audience scores aren't particularly high on it, the critics hated it and that's probably a good thing. And I also told him that reviews for it were pretty confusing and all over the map on this one, with people from both sides dunking on it for a myriad of reasons.
But despite what some of the regular hate-baiting YouTubers that I've called out several times here before have been saying, I didn't get the feeling that this movie was woke and it wasn't ruined with DEI agenda points.
So they went and saw it last night. They enjoyed it. He said that I was right and it wasn't woke at all. Though it's not going to make his list of favorite movies or anything, he said that it was worth a watch. He's a fan of Sam Rockwell too, and thought he was the standout character in the movie.
It's a shame that Universal screwed up so bad by paying $200 Million for their first two movies in 2024. I don't know exactly what went wrong in the case of Argylle, but even if it only cost Universal $100 Million to make it still would have been a financial disaster for them. Even at only $50 Million it likely would have lost Universal money.
The actors are getting paid way too much. Plain and simple.
It's time to stop that.

Saw poster for Quiet Place, the First Day. I think I am interested. Gotta look more.
Not sure if The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare was mentioned hre yet, but it was a wonderful film. Better than I had a right to expect.
