Full trailer for Netflix's "You People."

It's just as trope-y as I thought it would be, but it does have a stacked cast so... mayyybe it'll be at least a little funny? Probably not.

I did laugh at that stupid Xzibit joke and I like the cast, so I'll give it a shot. Gonna be interesting to see how far they will take the Nation of Islam bit.

I keep reading good things about Bad Lieutenant, I need to watch that one finally.

The combo of watching Mandy and Pig sold me on cage again and got me to go back and watch many of his older films.

Yeah anyone who doubts Cage’s chops needs to watch the movies listed above, but also and most importantly: Leaving Las Vegas.

For my part I’ve never seen Wild at Heart.

I quite enjoyed Wild at Heart. It’s pretty ridiculous and has Lynch portraying his love for the wizard of Oz in the open. Cage gets to sing and fight and wear a crazy snake skin jacket that apparently her picked out himself.

It's the height of the bad-but-good being a movie about Nic Cage not being sure whether or not he's a vampire.

You guys our M3GAN campaign is working. We beat Smile's Thursday box office which was the most in a horror movie since the pandemic.



I understand nobody here really wants to read about us (me) patting ourselves on the back or anything it was just one of those campaigns (and films) where everything just worked. We could have gone super campy with it and turned it into a mockery of itself but this was more of showing restraint and just gently fanning the flames of memes without banging people over the head with it.

Megan seems to be spreading all over the place. Various drag queens I follow are so excited for it.

The "yassification" of Megan was a smart thing to show off.

Originally I was trying to get my brothers' attention about the movie (they're big horror fans). Now, I'll get sent videos of some M3GAN dancers at a football game at night, and one of my brothers will say, "Gah! gently caress it, if I'm not sleeping, neither are you." So yeah, I'd say the campaign is working.

Well done!

I’m absolutely not the target audience for M3GAN but the first trailer using a creepy remix of a Taylor Swift song was pretty much the perfect way to introduce that movie and I’m glad it’s turned out as good as I hoped

It’s nice to have a movie where they seemingly went into it knowing it was gonna be PG-13 and being able to target it at young people without making it dumb as poo poo. And of course anything aimed at teen girls is gonna appeal to The Gays as well, so there’s a nice spread

I don't have to go find out, they're already talking about streaming the R cut, considering it already existed before trying to get a PG-13 version.

And yeah they wanted PG-13 all along they just went a little overboard with the kills lol

I watched M3gan and I love it. For a robot, the title character is quite charismatic and have some good lines. You don't see most of the kills but it's her interaction with others that's the highlight. I hope they get a couple more movies out of her.

It looks boring and uninspired and had none of at least the little charm the first one had (I don't think I saw the second).

Is it by the same ppl who did Malignant? As a non horror guy I'm mainly interested based on how much fun I had with that movie. You're always going to see the next movie of a movie you already enjoyed.

E2: ^^^ speaking of Ant Man, I don't really remember enjoying the second one. Maybe I'll see it when it comes to streaming
