There is a goon who has a really funny anecdote about smoking with a group of friends and a boomer came over to them and talked about how much weed he used to smoke and asked if he could join. Goon and friends warned him that he likely smoked less potent stuff, which the boomer dismissed, then after have a few goes they got into their car and promptly drove into a parked car lol

The Hunger Games prequel took in a pretty underwhelming $44 million at the box office this weekend domestically. That's less than half the opening weekend of the final film that game out in 2015.

I think we've really hit a point of franchise slop not being enough to attract audiences any more. I'm not saying we're hitting some amazing heyday of original cinema. However, while Barbie, Oppenheimer and Mario are all adaptations, also, none of them is a sequel. They all represent a very singular "event" in what they were selling that wasn't just the same reheated trash (I actually really dislike that Mario movie, but in the context of Nintendo having been so reluctant to license their content to this point, it is novel) The sequels that WERE somewhat successful were ones where there's still a decent amount of goodwill for the franchise i.e Fast X (tho waning, many feel it jumped the shark) or Spider man animated and not connected to franchise-building slop, other than Guardians 3, which is relatively self contained, actually has an authorial voice from James Gunn and is pretty unrelated to continuing content from the Disney+ streaming assembly line unlike the Marvel films that flipped this year I don't think we're quite back in an old cinema renaissance but I DO think there's glimmers of hope in that audiences seem to be getting a little more discerning about Pavlovian responses to franchises and want something with a distinct perspective, even if it's not necessarily arthouse

It's been like 8 years since the last Hunger Games movie. I know this prequel novel the new film is based on was written after the original movies came out, but to me the HG franchise has been pretty dead since last decade. I remember when the second part of the finale was released there was a lot of discussion even then that the franchise was already kind of done.

I mean it's like Harry Potter, or even LOTR to tie this to the earlier Hobbit conversation. For the vast majority of people, the series ended so they dipped when it was over. They enjoyed it while it was going on, but they don't care to see the secret story of Dumbledore's long lost brother or the winner of the previous Hunger Games or whatever.

What's the plot of the new Hunger Games film anyway? I thought it was going to be about the first ever Games but from the trailer it seems like it's been going on for years and it's just about the younger version of Donald Sutherland's character - why should we care about him again?

The depiction of civil war in the last-half movie was deemed distasteful coming off so soon after the Paris attacks. It's easier for a work to play down any parallels to a real-life tragedy that happens close by if the creators choose to toss in an orc or a robot into the mix.

It is basically telling the story of how the Hunger Games became what they were by the time of Katniss. Going from just throwing 24 kids into a sports arena and watching them kill each other to a massively popular piece of entertainment. The movie does kind of suffer for being a condensed version of the book so some of the stuff (especially in the back half) doesn't really get enough time to breathe.

It also only cost $100 million (how loving nuts is it that thats a nothing budget it the current blockbuster landscape) so when all is said and done it'll probably turn a profit.

Professor Shark posted:I cannot wait for the 30 connected films poo poo to die I really do feel like their arms were too wide for The Marvels. The best I've heard from fans was that it's a good story for the characters/a solid Kamala Khan story, and like, I just can't imagine doing the homework of watching the Ms. Marvel show just to feel some little payoff from this movie. This Thanksgiving is either Wish, The Marvels or Trolls depending on what my nieces want to watch as the family thing (pushing for Trolls) so it's not a super fun box office time. I always thought people were kind of exaggerating how much trouble it was to enjoy the "cinematic universe" aspect since there weren't all that many connections and usually they could explain them with a sentence, but now it seems more true for about half of the releases.

Its output of content really increased ever since Disney tried to get into the streaming game. Its basically a repeat of when it made way too much star wars stuff and everybody lost interest.

Yeah, I can't overstate how numbing it is to look at the slate of Marvel stuff I'm supposed to watch. I haven't even finished the second season of Loki when I loved the first season. It just feels like doing homework you know you can't possibly finish in time.

It doesn't help that the Marvels just seem like incredibly generic knockoff superheroes out of context. Like there's no pitch for them I can see. Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Captain America, they all have concepts that are interesting in a vacuum as a pitch to someone who's never heard of them!

Other than the next spider-verse film is there any marvel movie that people actually seem excited for? Used to hear people talk about them endless, but now fortunately no one seems to be bringing them up. Sure with the writers strike there's been a pause, but it does feel like after endgame and the last guardians films people just started feeling like it's all done, and Marvel are going to have to actually try again to get people to start caring about them again on mass like they used to.
