I think they’re mostly just your reactions, Eric. Oh, sweet, naive, Ben…. :P You don’t REALLY want me to dig up a dozen or so pre-release YouTube comedy variations on the theme of “Oh, look, grown-up Andy’s going to take his toy cowboy doll with him to college, bet that’ll make him popular with the...

Well, we weren’t requesting a Soul 2, if that’s what you’re asking…

Hopefully this sequel will be more Toy Story 2 then Finding Dory.

And, as long-awaited audience-request sequels go, more Toy Story 3 than Incredibles 2.

Ask anyone why they didn't go see Elemental, and you get the same "The trailers looked too lame and generic!" Uh-huhhh..... So, not like: - "An old guy? Who is this movie for, anyway?" - "Oo, talking cars! My 5-yo. Hot Wheels fan would love that! :roll:" - "Oh, I get it!--He's a superhero, and he's ...

So that was…okay? Quite entertaining, but much less engaging than the first two. Everyone kind of felt off in their own movie, and Rocket pretty much literally off in his own movie. It all felt disjointed but still kind of blended together, although very much felt like a coda or addition to what we...

Just so bizarre that Cameron is putting all his eggs in this one basket. They may make a mint, but these are not great movies. This one in particular is just more of the same, without much or any of the innovation of the first I just lament how many great Cameron movies we are missing out on while ...

Just getting through Guardians 3 now (yes, the fact that I can't get around means I've now caught Bob Chapek's Disease, and I now don't bother with most Disney, Pixar or Marvel until they hit streaming), and it's tonally all over the map. Because Rocket has to moon around as a persecuted martyr for ...

In the works . (again) Wonder if watching this will make you just as angry as playing it? :lol: Some people play chess, some people play Monopoly. 8) One involves abstract strategy, the other involves real-time financial survival, and profiting off other players' greed. Anyway, "Again" is the keywo...

But...they've already introduced the Multiverse in time for Dr. Strange 2, what other reason do they have for keeping the series going after it got ratings?

As for cutting movies in two, The Three/Four Musketeers and Superman did it first as pre-planned, pre-shot sequels in the 1970s, Back To The Future Parts II and III in the 80s. Tis not a new thing. No, but other producers besides the Salkinds doing it does seem to be rather exclusive to the 80s on ...

\And you’re behaving as though Across the Spider-Verse is being viewed as some kind of failure. It isn’t. At all. Doing your post in rhyme doesn’t change that. (beats Dacey over the head with a heavy wooden lesbian owl): NO! NO, NO, NO!! NO!!! :evil: Let's try it ONE...LAST...TIME. Slowly, and care...

Okay. For ultimate clarity, we'll try the Random House "I Can Read" version, by Dr. Seuss: To release a sequel an audience would like, One must remember to beware of a strike. Because sequels have put studios in a bit of a stew. Instead of just one, they now want to make two. You can't make just one...

Not sure about DVD sales in Japan, but when VHS arrived there, the industry was so corporatized that VHS was ONLY available as rental, and sell-through Disney or Ghibli for the home didn't even exist until the studios teamed up in '99. Because of that, Laserdisc was widely available for home sale, a...

Yes, and such a big hit that they made Across a huge, complex two-part story, with Beyond the Spiderverse wrapping up the saga in late 2023......er, okay, maybe '24. Spring '25 at the earliest. Just be glad it's not Deathly Hallows. :P (Please read more carefully before knee-jerking, Lumina, or at l...

Absolutely no surprise Spideyverse 3 got pushed back…it hasn’t even finished being written (as a final script), let alone voice recorded.

Another lesson about trying to serialize hit franchise movies so that you "know what you'll be releasing next year".
