The first one was decent, except the baby subplot was so stupid.
We know the monsters have been on earth more than 9 months. Was the pregnancy by choice? Was one or both parents a religious fundamentalist who wouldn't consider abortion? What if the baby cries and they have to choose between killing it or everyone dying? So much you could do with that but instead the resolution is just "a mattress over the trapdoor". Apparently that wasn't an option before.

I saw the sequel, don't recall much about it. A prequel might be a cool as a spectacle.

Movies are probably dead, but now we can say for certain that cable and broadcast TV are 100% dead:

Warner, Fox, Disney to Launch Streaming Sports Joint Venture

Variety posted:

It�s a game-changer.

Fox Corp., Warner Bros. Discovery and Disney are set to launch a new streaming joint venture that will make all of their sports programming available under a single broadband roof, a move that will put content from ESPN, TNT and Fox Sports on a new standalone app and, in the process, likely shake up the world of TV sports.

The three media giants are slated to launch the new service in the fall. Subscribers would get access to linear sports networks including ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, SEC Network, ACC Network, ESPNews, ABC, Fox, FS1, FS2, BTN, TNT, TBS, truTV and ESPN+, as well as hundreds of hours from the NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL and many top college divisions. Pricing will be announced at a later date, but the companies will likely set a monthly subscription that is more than a consumer would pay for a standalone regional sports network, which costs $20 to $30 per month, and less than a larger digital programming package such as Hulu + Live TV or YouTube TV, which cost around $75 to $80 per month, according to a person familiar with current discussions.

The new joint venture, currently unnamed, is seen as a way for Disney, Fox and Warner Bros. Discovery to gain back some of the lucrative affiliate fees they have lost as their cable subscribers have cut the cord and moved to streaming outlets as their primary source of video entertainment. The new venture would pay its three corporate parents for licensing rights, essentially creating a new distribution partner.

[...]

The concentration of top sports under one roof would be significant. Between them, ESPN and Warner Bros. Discovery have most rights to the NHL and the NBA, while Fox, WBD and ESPN control at present the majority of rights to Major League Baseball. Only the NFL would enjoy a large presence with entities that are not a part of the joint venture, with �Sunday Night Football� at NBCUniversal, �Thursday Night Football� at Amazon and a package of Sunday afternoon games at CBS.

Disney, Fox and Warner Bros. Discovery would continue to control rights and the new entity would not create its own content for the service, according to the person familiar with the matter. And the start-up venture would never compete with its parents for rights deals, this person says.

The announcement of the new business comes as Disney has been examining strategic alternatives for ESPN, which is pushing into new digital venues while its longstanding cable-based subscriber base has been eroding. Disney has been in talks with various sports leagues, including the NFL, about getting more involved in the ESPN business. Those discussions continue, according to the person familiar with the matter, and are independent of plans around the new joint venture, as are discussions around launching a stand-alone ESPN direct-to-consumer product.

Live sports is the only thing even close to profitable for the old TV and cable networks. If they are fully surrendering them to streaming, they might as well just admit that they won't be broadcasting at all a decade from now.

It's also that making profound stuff is hard and not easily compatible with commercial motivations, and so the shallow crap of yesterday now has to be quick to keep people from dumping it. Phones have ironically set people free to not suffer being bored.
No wonder crap entertainment gets frantic trying to hide what they are

The big unanswered questions is if they will continue following the Wonka/Color Purple (2023)/Mean Girls (2024) strategy of hiding the fact that it is a musical from the audience until they actually see the movie.

That seems incredibly dumb but what do I know

I'm not going to see it in theaters but knowing it's an adaptation of the musical (which I haven't seen) I'll probably watch it eventually whereas otherwise I wouldn't have any interest in a soft reboot of mean girls or something

As with most things its probably a combination of factors, but I think one of the big ones is that being outraged on the internet is a communal sport now. It's a fun thing you can do with your friends and bond over. If there ever are any sparks of media literacy, what are you gonna do? Spend a bunch of time thinking about what they're trying to say and point they're trying to make and consider if that's a good point, or are you gonna assume the worst so you can have fun being real mad about it with your friends?

Make sure she saves the planet by enacting universal healthcare, vaccination and masking policies, a 90% tax on the ultra-rich, 100% renewable energy and universal basic income, which is why the Imperial forces blow it up for being a utopia and dangerous to Imperial values.
