Leaving a ton of funny money on the table by not making The Miniature Husband

That popstar biopic with the CGI chimpanzee made an awful lot of money

At the movie theater I saw an enormous poster for the Michael Jackson biopic on the IMAX marquee and it kinda just left a pit in my stomach at how disgustingly successful the Jackson estate was in burying this. People denied the evidence of their eyes and ears because they couldn’t let go. Pathetic.
cartoon shit
i just wanted to point out, maybe its a small thing to some, but the credits for Speed Racer IMAX said Lily and Lana Wachowski..... which swelled something within my heart 🥹

2015
The New South Wales government, without consulting the NCPIC, tried to shame the youth out of smoking pot with a moaning sloth, portrayed as a loser for getting high. The campaign backfired; it was universally ridiculed and drove traffic to a namesake pro-weed site.
[writing draft of Michael Jackson biopic featuring $15 million of child abuse allegation scenes] this is going to be great
"...the estate considered producing its own documentary in the wake of “Leaving Neverland” before settling on a biopic as the more effective vehicle to bolster the brand."
But seriously do not watch or spread the leak, you're insulting the already struggling people behind this film otherwise
I think we should never stop discoursing about this until the people behind these choices stop being this stupid
this is a perfectly stated embodiment of how so many filmmakers have come to see the artifice of film as something to hide and in doing so paradoxically makes their movies look and feel incredibly artificial
ohh ok
Thankfully, Showcase was careful as to not play a Minions & Monsters tag before our screening of the 18-rated horror film Lee Cronin's The Mummy
I literally love that I got to see The Mosquito Coast on 35 as part of a Peter Weir retrospective then a Blank Check episode as part of their Peter Weir retrospective drops two weeks later and half of it is talk over boring Disney pop culture
This dropping just a few days after Bullock tried to convince us to make peace with AI...
New Heidecker crossing over to InfoWars is *my* Deadpool & Wolverine
It seems that good just might prevail after all.
Avatar: Aang, the Last Airbender, a film without an official release date confirmed, in Letterboxd’s ‘popular this week’ tab
An unreleased film that got leaked due to poor studio management and security just broke into the ‘popular this week’ on Letterboxd. Well, David Ellison, now you’re going to *have* to put it in cinemas
Seeing it Friday!
And it is good apparently! What have you got to lose, David?!
The Lee Cronin’s Mummy (that’s the title in the film) Evil Dead Rises too close to the sun. Worth it to see Lee go all out with grotesqueries and cinephilia, yet this can neither hit the right level of bad taste, stand on its own terms nor avoid all of the orientalist trappings its premise suggests.
