I felt that way reading the synopsis but the trailer got me. I like the idea of Hitler as Hobbes the cat.

I assume that's the studio's idea. I'm sure there was a caveat about marketing due to the reactionary nature of present times.

Is that the girl from Leave No Trace? Awesome.



This looks fantastic, and I am positive that Disney wishes they had nothing to do with it. I'm sure they want to get all the big projects started at FOX prior to their purchase out the door pronto (Alita, Dark Phoenix, Ad Astra, Jojo, etc), and cancel everything else that's not late in development.

Alita's already out...? It came out right before the Disney deal. In fact, the Disney deal is why it took a while to come out on Blu.

There was a new research report recently that showed a huge fuckton of people cannot identify satire when they see it. It’s not just a small minority.

I mean, I'm aware, but the deal hung over Fox and all their decision making for like a year, and considering that Alita is only now finding its audience I think it's fair to say that it was undermarketed, possibly on purpose in order to not compete too heavily with Captain Marvel.

It reminds me a bit of Boy, in that it features a young protagonist who is confronted with some harsh truths that force him to confront his beliefs and views. And heck yes, I'm on board. I also never expected to see a Maori play Adolf Hitler, but I guess stranger things have happened.

The CEO of the last company I worked for (a middle sized indie film distributor in Germany) thought that The Death of Stalin was a serious drama depicting the incompentence of Russian politicians in that era. He just didn't see the comedy at all.

Lawrence looks perpetually sweaty and out of breath. I wonder if he still refuses to get out of his trailer if it's not parked on the road because he won't walk on grass.

I thought Martin seemed alright at the beginning but by the end of the trailer he was way off. His timing, his puffiness, his face.

Also, seems like Bad Boys 4 is already in pre-production, so they're banking on this. I don't think Fresh Prince is the draw he used to be. 97-07 was his decade, now he's just in poo poo after poo poo, though I loved MIB 3.

It's one thing if he doesn't think it's a satire but to not think anything in the movie is funny is next level.

It's a story I heard about him years ago. He also had a box of underwear delivered to his trailer once a week because he would only wear his skivvies once, then throw them away. But TBF, if I was rich as gently caress I might do that too.

I've heard of others doing the underwear thing and from decades back, professional athletes and people living on the road. I have to imagine that practicality extends to action movie star.

Bush league sound guy on that production for sure. This reminds me of when friends try to make their own feature-length film on a shoestring budget and can't figure out why it looks so amateurish.

The answer is you have to pay for sound. Yes, it's important, Brandon. Yes, your whole production is ruined, Brandon.
