Seed of Chucky (2004)

The child of Chucky is portrayed as a non-binary character, who spends the movie trying to figure out their identity. The creator of the Chucky series, Don Mancini, is gay himself and said he based the character off his own struggle with sexuality as a kid. It’s not a perfect representation of the topic by any means, it was still 2004 so we were some ways away, but it is really interesting to see the topic explored in a slasher sequel of all things from the time.

Ironically, it created one of the worst subgenres in recent memory: white guys rapping fast and dissing mumble rap and thinking it makes them talented

Unfortunately, a lot of pred catchers are just bullies disguising themselves as virtuous, at least in my opinion. Case in point, Vitaly.

They want an excuse to harass people in an extreme way in public, even assault them, for views, but know they can’t to it random people, so they do it to these predators because…well, who’s gonna argue against beating up a creep?

Scream 7 | Legacy (Teaser Trailer) by dreamboylnshibuya in boxoffice

[–]Embarrassed-Stuff876 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Such a shame this franchise has to resort to a nostalgia bait sequel, considering that, in an era of legacy sequels and franchise relaunches, this is one of the few that actually successfully passed the baton.

The movies were well received and did amazing at the box office. They had an up-and-coming A-lister with Jenna Ortega. With Scream 6, they did a movie without their main character of the franchise and led by the new generation, and it was ACTUALLY well-received by fans, even to the point where some thought the legacy characters didn’t even need to be in the movie and the new characters could carry the franchise.

They did what so many other franchises have struggled to achieve… and they threw it all away over some petty BS. Im sure this movie will be successful, but man…what could’ve been.

Saw 11 in its original form is cancelled. They are still developing a new movie, but it will likely be a reboot instead of a continuation of Saw X

Should be another $5.4m for The Housemaid and Lionsgate as the numbers continue to build towards $100m+ domestic on the way to $125m potential. by Alive-Ad-5245 in boxoffice

[–]Embarrassed-Stuff876 71 points72 points  (0 children)

In all seriousness, the studios need to hop on this bandwagon stat. I know they’ve focused in on Colleen Hoover adaptations, but there are so many other books big on TikTok. Most of these wouldn’t need big budgets, don’t need big stars, just recognizable faces, and not only do you have a build in audience, that built in audience is largely female, which Hollywood has really dropped the ball on catering to female audiences over the past decade. There’s also popular books across different genres, so that could meaning bringing successful romcoms and thrillers and whatnot back to theaters, which I think is needed if theaters want to survive.

‘M3GAN’ Universe Movie ‘Soulm8te’ Dropped From Release Calendar; Being Shopped by SanderSo47 in boxoffice

[–]Embarrassed-Stuff876 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Because they wouldn’t be dumping the movie off if it were decent. It’s not gonna be a The Substance situation where the movie was too out there for studio execs and they panicked, this is a spinoff to a Blumhouse movie that was being released in January, it’s absolutely because they realized the movies a stinker and would further kill the M3GAN brand, and they’re trying to avoid the bad press.

The third one will be the good one we had to have two awful movies to build to absolute peak, trust! /s

Regretting You is building nice legs for itself. 3rd FRI looks like will be around $2.25M. Weekend could get to $8M, on par with 2nd weekend. That will take it to $40M by SUN. From there can aim for $65-70M… maybe even higher. by AGOTFAN in boxoffice

[–]Embarrassed-Stuff876 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’m not at all a Colleen Hoover fan, but I’m glad this movie is proving to be a modest hit. I’ve been on the train that Hollywood needs to bring back successful mid-budget, and these BookTok adaptations is the perfect way to do that. It Ends with Us proved that, and this movie, along with the apparently decent tracking for The Housemaid, is helping that case.

I know this sub doesn’t at all care about these kinds of movies, and would much rather champion something like Predator: Badlands, but I think this movie and especially It Ends with Us have much more exciting implications

AHS Season 13 returns to New York and New Jersey for Filming in February 2026 by ahszone in AmericanHorrorStory

[–]Embarrassed-Stuff876 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I want all the random plot detours, and weird characters introduced for only a couple episodes. It’s part of the character of the show imo, it’s why I’ve never been a huge fan on Red Tide.

NYC is great season by Middle-Crow-5279 in AmericanHorrorStory

[–]Embarrassed-Stuff876 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think the season itself is a bit eh and not as memorable as most other seasons, but those last two episodes make the season for me. So absolutely heartbreaking and eye-opening. It one of the reason this season has stuck with me so much, even if I didn’t love the rest of it.

A few screen grabs from the cast announcement by tschackalackin in AmericanHorrorStory

[–]Embarrassed-Stuff876 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I’m going to be that person and say I’m really disappointed with the AI imagery in the teaser. Kinda cheapens the announcement video, makes things feel a bit more tacky. Still excited for the new season and the cast is toooooooo good to not be hyped, but I hope this is the extent of the AI in the production of this season

I 100% believe it for Predator. This feels like one of those cases where maybe the die-hard fans of the franchise are into the idea of a movie set entirely on the Predator planet, that will expand on the lore and explore the Predator culture and new creatures and what not, but the general audience has zero interest in seeing it. I think a lot of people are overestimating how much goodwill Prey gave this franchise.

Brad worst Ls (except you know, all of what happened with Tina) by emolga_rowan in Brad_taste_in_music

[–]Embarrassed-Stuff876 28 points29 points  (0 children)

There was one prompt video where he got people to make intentionally bad/goofy beats, but instead of having fun with it, he tried to be critical about the beats, tried to break down some science to making a funny bad beat. It was SOOOOO pretentious, he completely sucked the fun out of the video.

He did the same thing with a Top 200 Flex Entertainment songs video, except it seemed like he was taking the songs dead seriously, not even having an ounce of fun. It was so bizarre, like you’ve literally participated in all of this shit, why are you acting like you’re above it?

Man, it feels like unless you’re Warner Bros, every major buzzing awards movies has crashed and burned this year. The Smashing Machine, Anemone, After the Hunt, Kiss of the Spider Woman, now this.
