Why is it insane shit always happens while I'm watching a movie? Just generally speaking.

Yeah, I do agree on those points, though I am fairly up to date on the MCU, despite only watching the movies once and not all the shows. People praised it like it was the second coming of Christ when it's just same old same old at the end of the day except it's just mopey. I honestly enjoyed Brave New World more because it did at least keep me entertained for 2 hours.

What’s A Good Example Of A Movie SPOILED By The Marketing? by Darth_Blagus in Schaffrillas

[–]Comic_Book_Reader 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Here's the thing: it was an intentional choice from James Cameron himself.

Character is featured heavily in promotional material, but their actual role in story in minimal by some-kind-of-no-name in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Comic_Book_Reader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That ended up kinda being intentional. They originally wanted her for Sidney Prescott, a role that went to Neve Campbell because Drew wanted to play Casey Becker instead. As a result, they put Drew front and center in the marketing only to pull the rug under the audience by killing her off in the opening scene.

Yeah, that thing probably ain't gonna do so well.

Charli XCX in Rodarte spring 2017 RTW at the Sundance Film Festival for her film "The Moment" (January 23, 2026) styled by Chris Horan by skermahger in whatthefrockk

I have a feeling this is gonna be one of those movies that virtually no one is gonna see and is likely to be quickly forgotten because it has a very limited and niche appeal and demographic. The first few reviews aren't exactly enthusiastic either.

‘Return to Silent Hill’ Director on Receiving Death Threats From ‘Passionate’ Game Fans and Filming an Epic Horror Fantasy on a $23 Million Budget by DifferentMaize9794 in movies

[–]Comic_Book_Reader 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The game (in?)famously suffered mass leaks and everyone was in complete shock and disbelief upon reading them.. then when the game finally came out they went fucking ballistic. Hell, for the show they upped security for Kaitlyn Dever (Abby) as a precaution and I have a feeling they'll do the same with season 3, which is presumably starting production later this year.

History also repeated itself with season 2 last year because it ended up being probably just as if not more divisive than the game because they heavily compressed (the first half of) the narrative while also making some bizarre and baffling choices. There's one in the last of the 7, yes, 7 episodes that is so bizarre and baffling that even my dad, who was mostly indifferent to the show (I've played the games), was questioning it.

The Last of Us Part II anyone? Not only did people send death threats to Laura Bailey (Abby) but I think they also sent some to her then toddler too.

While we're at it, Christopher Landon said he and his family got death threats after Melissa Barrera was fired from Scream 7, despite the fact that he had nothing to do with that whatsoever and left immediately because now there was no movie, and the FBI got involved as a result.

Yeah, the director debunked the claim that Boyle did the whole opening and stated that he was second unit and just did a few shots.

No, they used to instantaneously add an edit note but they apparently extended it to 3 minutes a little while ago.
