The worst Coen Brothers movie (Intolerable Cruelty) would be anybody else’s masterpiece.

Also the 70’s version of Musketeers remains the best of them.

Disney knows exactly what they're doing. the trillions dollar mega-corp doesn't give a poo poo about 'diversity' or w/e. they've run the numbers and found out the amount of money lost by chuds(lol) is in the single digit %, meanwhile the amount of liberals who then rave about it solely because they're reactionary-to-chuds(!!!!) and market it themselves for free is much more than that. it's been discussed in other threads but most modern "leftism" is just defined by being for whatever chuds(lol) are against and visa-versa.

it's an easy way to make a bad movie and still make $$$$$ on it

we've seen this poo poo play out again and again, like Eternals was having massive media-ops going on for free just saying "well its bombing because CHUDS(!!!!) hate women!" or whatever and then going out to see it three times for every time a chud(lol) doesn't see it.


in any case it's already pulled in like 200 million, by the time all is said and done it's going to be another billion dollar revenue movie. disney can just keep doing this poo poo forever, maybe throw in another astroturfed moral media panic about a tiny gay fairy or something in their next live action remake of Peter Pan that's made on a $1m budget.

The they should make a three hour sequel to the little mermaid where she has finger blaster guns, and a jaw warped by steroid.

This is why writers are going to get shitted on. Even other writers in their profession can't help but undermine the goal of forcing rich people to pay up. Any other profession would be lock step.But writers have to constantly write stuff that creates contradictory arguments as if they are making a piece of narrative fiction.

This is also why Batman and James Bond open straight into action that's not even necessarily related to the plot. It's a great way to tell action stories, it hooks the audience, it demonstrates who the character is and how they do things, and then lets you breathe for a bit with context right after the title.

they are embarrassed to be portrayed as asking for money. it reveals deep down they, or at least this guy, doesn't see themselves as being robbed, but instead like they are very publicly putting up a stink in order to get a hand out.

The messaging of striking workers is always tough and you'll see WGA members insist they are waiting for a fair deal, which is correct. The studios et al wanted to take what was theirs, and who could agree to that? only an idiot. So we will happily wait for them to get over their greedy aspirations, and then when they agree to pay us for our work, we will work.

Pete's evil plot in the Mickey Mouse 3 Musketeers is to kidnap Princess Minnie and replace her with one of his henchmen dressed up as her who proclaims loudly at the opera that Pete is the king now because that's how monarchy works

The recent movie is alright though it has a very boring Richelieu. I hope they give him a bit more to do in the Milady sequel.

Anyway I'm more hyped for the Monte Cristo movie.

the Event Horizon guy made a Three Musketeers movie with Ray Stevenson as Porthos that I want to see. The Musketeer from the weekend before 9/11 has kung fu. there's a good ladder fight in it reminiscent of Once Upon a Time in China (I think they both have the same fight choreographer)

Probably paid better and more reliably too.

Honestly, The Count of Monte Cristo imo is practically made to be a prestige TV series, considering it was originally published by chapter in newspapers at the time (like most novels from that era) it's got about the right structure with clear episode breaks, complete with cliffhangers and all, a sprawling cast of characters and occasional diversions into other characters' backstories. Easy enough to picture it being the Game of Thrones of its time.

just finished the seventh episode of beef and kind of scratching my head why netflix did this as an all at once instead of a two parter

my guess is because the american branch of netflix has decided that the purpose of two part seasons is to milk ratings not give breathing room for binges which is really annoying in this case because "eight months later btw some ominous mysterious thing happened offscreen" is like the perfect hook for getting back into a show that you havent watched for a few weeks

like i might have actually finished watching it when it was new if id known it was only a six episode commitment and i could ruminate on that while waiting for the last four

The message is, Rich people have too much power and are poo poo. And I want to live a good life and are forced to use money to do it. It's a common message for everybody, from people who work in fast food to over-worked doctors can relate to.

It shouldn't be hard, but it is because we live in a fantasy world created by writers who want rich people to have more money. We can't really scab screenwriters because they are already scabs. They don't just poo poo their bed and lie in it; they poo poo in everybody's bed.

The reasons unions exist is because a signification amount of the population wants rich people to have power, so a union has to be created for a precision strike against the rich. And the amount of money, and other stuff, are just details where the rich and unions are trying to figure out how much everybody else in the population will allow.

Those writers inability to get great paying jobs should go to show how bad they are at their craft.
