Super Sweet Movie Discussion Thread

The only big theater movie I've liked since Top Gun was Bullet Train, and Day Shift on Netflix was a fun time.

I can't really think of any big budget movie other than the new Black Panther I want to see this year, and even that is kind of "meh" after Thor being boring.
 
COVID just hastened theater's downfall. Streaming would eventually kill theaters. Even as streaming companies charge more for their services, you'll still see people staying home to watch a movie.

Devotion will be in theaters for Thanksgiving. I'm looking forward to that; it looks promising and worthy of the big screen.

Agree. We do have a decent little AMC here that charges 4.99 for 1st run matinee and 5.99 Primetime. It stays busy! Down the road, they charge like 18.00 per. I personally will not pay 18.00 for a ticket and 10.00 for some stale jujubees to go to see shitty, woke movies.

I don't know if it's a covid hangover, or streaming services are soaking up the talent, or what, but cinema must be in the biggest slump ever.

I've seen extremely little on streaming that would indicate a sudden influx of talent. If anything, the quality has been steadily dropping (just not as fast quickly).
 
Chris Pratt on Terminal List, Kate Winslet on Mare of Easttown, John Krasinski in Jack Ryan, Jeff Bridges on the Old Man, Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans in the Grey Man, Michael B Jordan Without Remorse, Mark Wahlberg, Jason Bateman and Laura Linney in Ozark, Spenser Confidential, Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence, Don't Look Up, Ryan Reynolds with a heap of Netflix releases in the last couple of years, one of them with Dwayne Johnson and Gal Gadot, Scarlet Johansson's Black Widow along with all of the other Avengers series stuff going straight to Disney +, Adam Sandler, when did he last do a cinematic release? Nicole Kidman and Melissa Mcarthey in Nine perfect strangers, Kidman, Witherspoon and Dern in Big little lies, etc etc.
Personal opinions on their degree of talent besides, they're all traditionally cinematic performers.
 
Paramount has been running "Major League" almost on a loop for the past week or so but I'm not mad. Despite being as old and awesome as it is, that movie seems to get better almost every time I watch it.
 
Saw Black Adam last night. Thoroughly enjoyed it. If this is the starting point for DC Films going forward, I look forward to what's to come. Especially with James Gunn in charge of creative side. For Black Adam's first outing, they threw a lot of VFX heavy, action scenes, at it but it still felt balanced.
And to be honest I was just going to see Superman on the big screen. lol
