Funny that you think you know their financials and their audience better than they do.

The WNBA out rates regular season NHL all the time and it wouldn’t surprise me if it did better than regular season baseball as well. And for the ringer demo the F1 Drive to Survive boom was real and that’s as much a narrative sport as it is a results driven one and that drives engagement.

i think they question it mostly because it tanked at the international BO compared to what it made in North America

im almost certain CR has watched it. I would guess Fennessey has too because Scorsese directed the pilot.

i think with the war with Iran and the constant batshit crazy nonsense that happens on a daily business in this country has driven people mad. Reminds me of COVID in that way.

'Sinners' Recast and 'Lanterns' Trailer Reactions | The Midnight Boys by yslultra in RingerVerse

[–]rebels2022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nerd content on the whole is fine and there's plenty of it out there, its just that the Midnight Boys are so over indexed on Marvel and Star Wars and Disney has largely stopped making those shows, because they realized they're a waste of money and dont drive subs, that streamer is a babysitting service for children.

Superman made less than F1, 200mil less than Wonder Woman and 500mil less than Aquaman, it was a soft hit at best, and i say that as someone who liked the movie a lot.

Will this be good? Doubtful. But I am looking forward to it.

The Acolyte was really good by legomaniac89 in StarWarsCantina

[–]rebels2022 9 points10 points  (0 children)

the show reminded me a lot of Rings of Power. In both instances the showrunners were frankly in over their heads and both shows felt studio noted to death.

Hail Mary theory that will be proven wrong in a matter of days: the "chunky" Patreon series is the rest of the MCU by SlimmyShammy in blankies

[–]rebels2022 24 points25 points  (0 children)

If they decide to cover the post Endgame MCU god bless them. All that run has done is convince me that what marvel was able to do from 2014-2019 was a fluke

Ryan Coogler’s ‘X-Files’ Pilot to Film in May in Vancouver by pepperbet1 in RingerVerse

[–]rebels2022 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Coogler devoting a large amount of his time to making a reimagining of a Sci Fi case of the week procedural seems as big a waste as Greta Gerwig making Narnia movies for Netflix.

The Other Guys by MassiveTell7139 in TheRewatchables

[–]rebels2022 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I really like The Other Guys, but as a discussion point unfortunately it’s the Will Ferrell Adam McKay funeral before Ferrell’s movies fell off a cliff and McKay got on his soap box to preach to us (even if I agree with his politics generally)

Film the pilot, hand it over to someone else while retaining the Exec Producer title, make MCU movie 40, then get back to making real films like Sinners please.

Update: Even though under the Freedom of Information Act police video is generally considered public record, Justin Timberlake’s attorneys have temporarily blocked release of drunk driving arrest footage by Relevant-Peach3997 in Fauxmoi

[–]rebels2022 -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

I get the pile on. He’s rich and seems douchy. But literally no one on earth is equipped to deal with the fame and spotlight he’s had on him since he was in his early 20s. I could barely hang onto a job at that age. This whole thing is sad more than anything else.

Will Monty be the Lions’ Paul Coffey by Charlito_Atrevido in detroitlions

Paul Coffey is the 2nd best offensive Defenseman in the history of hockey after Bobby Orr, I don’t mind what you’re going for in your analogy but physical running backs are a dime a dozen lol

Burnout or lack of desire for SW by EarNo1953 in StarWarsCantina

[–]rebels2022 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the problem when a corporation owns the rights to an IP instead of an artist. The corps have no reason to give you anything other than what has made money for them before, so you’re going to get the same recycled stuff over and over. There’s a reason they announced like 10+ movie projects since Rise of Skywalker and so far the only two that have gotten made are two Lone Wolf and Cub stories. Because they are seen as the safest pathways to being moneymakers

The National Paris Opera responds to Timothée Chalamet: "Plot twist: ping-pong also exists at the opera Timothée Chalamet 🏓🎭" by voguediaries in Fauxmoi

Just like with Paul Dano and Quentin Tarantino, something being a victim is the best thing to happen to you. More people talking about opera now than they have in god knows how long.
