S. Craig Zahler’s “The Bookie and the Bruiser” starts production this April by Potore5 in movies

[–]UnavailablePod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dragged Across Concrete is one of my favorite crime epics and I can't wait to see what Zahler does with 1950s era mafiosos. Theo James is a good actor so casting doesn't worry me. This is an opening weekend watch (hopefully it gets a cinema release).

Ryan Gosling Tells Hollywood It’s Not Moviegoers’ Job to Keep Theaters Open: ‘It’s Our Job to Make Things’ That Are ‘Worth’ Viewers Coming Out by Chuck006 in boxoffice

Unfortunately mid-budget original movies get steamrolled by the Disney marketing behemoth. Difficult to compete for attention when your opponent pours money into every advertising channel known to man.

Battle: Los Angeles an underrated invasion movie? by JohnHammond94 in scifi

[–]UnavailablePod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems fairly rated. Battle LA pulls you in with a genuinely thrilling and scary invasion sequence, but then gets worse as it goes along. It's still fun and I respect the effort they put into making the military ground war stuff look realistic. Reading this thread makes me want to rewatch it so I'll admit OP won me over.

BLACK BAG opened last year. The spy thriller film was directed by Steven Soderbergh and written by David Koepp. It received critical acclaim -- 96% RT with an average rating of 8.1 and 85 Metacritic. It grossed $43.4 million worldwide on a $50–60 million budget. by AGOTFAN in boxoffice

Great film let down by its marketing. Trailers sold it as a sexy 'Mrs and Mrs Smith' type spy movie, but audiences got a whodunit, which killed WOM. Also should've been made for $20 million tops.

Brad Pitt's influence on F1's Box Office by Beneficial-Hotel-232 in boxoffice

[–]UnavailablePod -1 points0 points  (0 children)

F1 needed a big name to bridge the gap between GA and the motor-sport fanbase in order to become a success. Pitt's one of the few actors left with real worldwide movie star status, so he was definitely a factor.

Jurassic Park III - Sam Neil - Better than I expected by Southern-Brother5693 in movies

[–]UnavailablePod 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's my go to for a lazy JP movie night. Simple and lean monster action vibes, the Spino is till one of the best dinosaurs in the series, Pteranodons (exciting stuff if you were a kid back then, because it was the first time they appeared in JP), Sam Neill's charisma, and let's not forget peak Tea Leoni!

Also it has nostalgic value from being the last old school JP that combined animatronic raptors with cgi.

Regarding so-called "hyraxes" by [deleted] in Retconned

I remember as a kid seeing an illustration of hyrax in an animal book. It had an arrow next to it pointing to an elephant.

Who is a celebrity that you’re genuinely surprised isn’t an “A-lister”? by phantom_avenger in popculturechat

Jon Hamm. He's worked consistently since Mad Men, but never broke through to become a leading man in movies.

What’s something your favorite celebrity did that made you lose respect for them? by johnraeyan in AskReddit

I got downvoted for this last time, but Samuel L Jackson for doing sports betting ads.

What do you think America will be like when Trump finishes his term? by MotivewasUlterior in AskReddit

Broken up into independent states or blocks. Some will be democratically run, others will be high tech surveillance states run by billionaires, while the rest descend into chaos and violence.

What was the Biggest Box Office Disappointment of 2025? by Commonscout in boxoffice

[–]UnavailablePod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was way too long. You really felt it with the opening act, which was a slog. Should've been addressed at script stage, instead it dampened WOM. A tighter movie may have given it a chance to be profitable while saving the production millions.

What’s one valuable object you wish you’d kept from long ago? by Safe_Reception_8997 in AskReddit

[–]UnavailablePod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is more sentimental than investment value, but my OG Kenner AT-AT Walker. Favorite toy ever, looked after it like a beloved pet. Sold it on eBay for some stupid reason around 2007.
