It's about an evil sweater.

The real answer is that it’s about a spy novelist who accidentally predicts major global events through her books, so a spy agency tracks her down to figure out what’s going to happen, and chaos and hilarity ensues. I saw the trailer before Godzilla Minus One, and it looked really wAcKy and tryhard to an embarrassing extent (oh my god a CAT??? doing faces at EXPLOSIONS?!?!). But it stars Bryce Dallas Howard, Henry Cavill, Edward Norton, Samuel L. Jackson, and Bryan Cranston, so it at least has a stacked cast going for it.

Tbh Matthew Vaughn could have every actor who has ever worked in a Scorsese, PT Anderson, and Woody Allen movie (just including the pedo freak because he still gets Everybody when it comes to casting) and I'd still avoid the stink of whatever he does like a skunk just exploded after taking a giant poo poo

What about Ballerina? Action movie in the John Wick setting starring Ana de Armas. That's a good combination of words.

There's something weird going on with it because they were claiming it was based on a book by the author Bryce Dallas Howard is playing and also apparently Vaughn is saying that the trailer doesn't actually fully explain the premise of the movie.

I don't think it works for this year, but that list of movies coming out gave me an idea for the title next year: "Pentaquel Summoning Unsuccessful" I don't know why the list used triquel and tetraquel but if you follow it to its logical conclusion...

I'm seeing a lot less movies this year with the death of physical netflix.

Edit: Cocaine Bear was one of the last physical netflix I watched, it was funny.

D&D movie better than expected.

"Hey remember that game where the gameplay just felt really fun and intuitive but anything involving the plot, dialogue, and characters made you want to put a gun in your mouth? We made a movie. 🤗"

The Telltale adventure games showed you could do something fun and not too obnoxious in universe, but it takes a little creativity and the restraint to not just run a bunch of LOL totally random jokes into the ground and well...yeah. Can't imagine it being any good. And Roth remains a bizarre original choice for it, even though I'm not sure who you'd give it to.

I think that was a classic case of not wanting to give them the pleasure of a lawsuit. Better to just let it wither on the vine than free publicity.

I can't imagine wanting to explore the John Wick universe or being remotely interested in anything happening unless John Wick is actually there fighting people
Like just watch any of the many utterly fantastic Hong Kong films (esp if Sammo is doing the choreography) of the last 45 years, they're all head and shoulders above the best of Wick. Many are on tubi.

They've already unslated Spiderverse from the schedule. It's still in production but it's so far from complete, there's no date on it. There was a date of March 29 but then the writer and actor strikes happened and now that date belongs to the new Ghostbusters.

Wikipedia says Blood and Honey made $5.2M on a budget of $100K. I’m a little shocked since it was obvious slapdash poo poo without any real novelty value. Slasher movies with characters entering the public domain is probably good for a few more go arounds before people get bored with it.

Spoilers from leaked plot details the cat is a God, and BDH writing around it has affected reality, making the events of her novels come true. Everyone mistakenly believes it's BDH to blame, but it turns out it's the cat. Also, it is in the Kingsman universe.

No, after he took revenge for his dog he was just gonna go back into retirement. Then some rear end in a top hat showed up at his house and asked him to do a job, then blew up John's house when he refused. In the process of killing that guy, John broke the rules so now the higher ups want him dead. John Wick isn't exactly a defensive kinda guy, so if people are trying to kill him he's gonna kill them first.
