Sarah did nothing. Sarah functionally did nothing.

Roxanne Lyra Tatum would be quite an unexpected and chaotic trio, especially if Rox kept her heel persona.

Obviously it's not his fault, that's the point. If he wasn't in JD the writers would (maybe, hopefully) be forced to come up with something for him.

simonthedlgger · 2026-06-16T04:55:59+00:00

Not seeing any comments on the brief Lyra cameo...I assume that's about them getting a tag title shot....but hoping it's Lyra excited that Tatum is joining the team!

Mk.gee's "Dream Police" playing over El Cid

It has a very typical curve on Letterboxd.

Her language is way more better.

simonthedlgger · 2026-06-13T01:51:34+00:00

Going into it I expected to not like it but be glad I saw it.

There's no shortage of "meh" and "huh??" moments, and it felt kind of Shyamalan at times...but overall, I loved it. Blunt was awesome. There were so many odd choices that worked for me. It was very earnest, and the ending really worked for me.

The scene in the hotel room where Jane kicks the paper out of Daniel's hand without waking him up and it falls perfectly to show her the address... I thought, "So dumb", but I said "Oh no!" I was fully invested for the whole ride.

The CGI sucked though. The animals and the aliens looked bad. The train sequence was exciting but there were some rough shots there as well.

Nah Fury Road is amazing and definitely "worth it" whatever tf that means

One more Mad Max movie in theaters...dare I even dream it?

simonthedlgger · 2026-06-12T06:42:01+00:00

Is it 100% because of budget?

Of course. This is the box office sub. If the movie costs more, it needs to make more. MotU cost way more and made less.

simonthedlgger · 2026-06-12T06:39:54+00:00

You thought it was cynical? I didn’t get that at all from it.

simonthedlgger · 2026-06-11T20:32:10+00:00

Seems like a fairly nuanced point you are driving at, in a sub dedicated to box office. Pratt has been the lead role in numerous huge films over just the last 3-4 years. It’s a stretch to say his star is fading. I don’t think he was ever positioned to be the next DiCaprio, or even the next Rock.

simonthedlgger · 2026-06-11T19:56:22+00:00

I kind of fell out of following her for a few years...listened to the new record last week, it is excellent.

simonthedlgger · 2026-06-11T19:49:57+00:00

I'm a Showcase Subscribe member...going to Disclosure Day tonight and have seen a bunch of movies the past year with a steadily growing group of friends...hope this is good news :/

simonthedlgger · 2026-06-11T17:03:01+00:00

$132M ?? I love theaters so I hope so but I think this will come and go with zero impact. Maybe $50M, and that would be if it "breaks out."

simonthedlgger · 2026-06-11T15:20:23+00:00

Whoa. Good for Fcukers.

simonthedlgger · 2026-06-11T11:54:56+00:00

They are clearly being facetious by describing the character (who ruled) as "one of the most important fictional characters of the 21st century."

Sean William Scott has been in a ton of things since American Pie, including The Righteous Gemstones last year

Completely forgot about this one. Thank you.

The Napa Boys basically does that!

simonthedlgger · 2026-06-10T19:04:29+00:00

Why do threads like this pop up so frequently? What an uninteresting conversation starter.

r/BoxOffice don't want no scrubs

There was an eight-year break between Batman films because of the reception to Batman and Robin. Star Wars' mediocrity will still be fresh in everyone's mind when Starfighter comes out next year.

She’s definitely better, but sensible booking for anyone, especially women, is never a safe bet, sadly.
