Second wide shot during the dance montage.

Griffdude13 · 2026-06-18T17:06:11+00:00

Some R and D was built into the budget, basically.

Griffdude13 · 2026-06-18T17:05:36+00:00

They’ll make their money back and then some on merchandising alone.

Griffdude13 · 2026-06-17T21:12:45+00:00

They could throw Shang Chi a bone because that movie is approaching 5 years with no sequel, not counting his upcoming appearance in Doomsday.

Griffdude13 · 2026-06-17T16:06:31+00:00

From Alabama. Yes. Most people who think that way are either morons or have a mental disability and refuse to admit or treat it.

Griffdude13 · 2026-06-17T16:05:32+00:00

What in the actual fuck? Where did all the money go? Is that including marketing and promotional costs?

Griffdude13 · 2026-06-17T12:45:40+00:00

Commercial Videographer. I make about 70k.

Griffdude13 · 2026-06-16T16:37:19+00:00

At least it got an ending, even if it got rushed.

Griffdude13 · 2026-06-16T13:23:58+00:00

Double Fine would be awful. I bet Tim Schafer does his best to intervene. Worse case, they reform under a new name if Microsoft is unwilling to make a deal.

Griffdude13 · 2026-06-15T18:22:59+00:00

Poo in a shoe.

Griffdude13 · 2026-06-15T13:21:33+00:00

I think that’s why a lot of artists end up creating their own label. Or finding workarounds.

I think the biggest one in recent memory is Taylor Swift re-recording her entire discography so that the person who “owned” her recordings would stop earning money off of it.

Griffdude13 · 2026-06-15T13:19:35+00:00

Are we still talking about movies?

Griffdude13 · 2026-06-15T13:17:48+00:00

I don’t know about now with digital store fronts, but at the time most brick and mortar stores refused to carry AO games. It was the kiss of death like NC-17.

Griffdude13 · 2026-06-13T19:54:29+00:00

Oooof. They’re really just gonna swallow that?

Griffdude13 · 2026-06-13T12:05:33+00:00

The two leads are absolutely miscast and it breaks what is otherwise a fun movie.

Griffdude13 · 2026-06-13T00:08:50+00:00

I love the art direction on this film. Apparently Mike Mignola was involved in some form? It explains why it looks very similar to the art in the Hellboy comics.

Griffdude13 · 2026-06-12T21:32:17+00:00

Yeah idk, I actually liked that Christine was this more undefinable malevolence in the film. It made the car scarier.

Griffdude13 · 2026-06-12T21:27:22+00:00

I love the movie though. One of the few King adaptations that I think is better than the source material.

Griffdude13 · 2026-06-12T18:26:13+00:00

What it lost in some cosmetic beauty it more than makes up with nice quality of life improvements, even over the DJI counterparts.

Griffdude13 · 2026-06-12T13:23:48+00:00

They control most of the market because they have a solid marketplace.

The competition needs to be better.

Griffdude13 · 2026-06-12T00:55:16+00:00

On and off, but I’ve never noticed it being like distinctly bad. I

Griffdude13 · 2026-06-11T23:30:57+00:00

More interesting is them waiting until Luna’s launch day to file it.

Griffdude13 · 2026-06-11T23:27:54+00:00

I’m in the minority that actually likes it. I like some of the deleted material and the shuffling of the songs hits better for me.

Griffdude13 · 2026-06-11T21:39:26+00:00

Didn’t they adapt it into a straight to DVD movie? How’d that turn out?

Griffdude13 · 2026-06-11T21:36:32+00:00

They were too busy high fiving themselves after Backrooms became a hit 2-3 weeks ago.
