Film 📽️ THE CINEMA LOUNGE

[Shinobi Shaw]

2004 was a giant year in movies and especially in music.

Word. The year Usher dropped the Confessions album and when Pitof blessed us with this masterpiece:



The MCU could never.

2004 was a giant year in movies and especially in music.

Gaming too. GTA: San Andreas and Halo 2 came out two weeks apart from each other.

I've always been fascinated by the small bits we've gotten into the ''real'' Tom Cruise going off script. The amount of delusion, darkness behind his eyes, the anger. Ti's even more fascinating to see his fake 'public persona'.

Arrow Video continues to rule.

This makes me want to play that Warriors video game from Rockstar that had no business being as good as it was.

Code red, Letterboxd is down, I repeat Letterboxd is down.

Ben Affleck continues giving us memes.

This dude is so goofy

That's gotta be for another commercial, right? Any Dunkin aficionado knows they provide big bags for large orders like that.

I saw elsewhere that its suppose to be for a Superbowl commercial, but to quote Battinson, I just don't know. His commercial with Ice Spice is better than most recent DC/marvel flicks tho.

Can't wait to rate Batman TAS

People on Twitter are upset that Charles Melton was snubbed by the BAFTAs for May December. Meanwhile my reaction to that whole movie:



I don't know, maybe I hyped it up in my mind that something really shocking was going to happen in it and it never did. I guess that's where my mind was at after watching Poor Things, Saltburn and Beau Is Afraid leading up to it.

 

[Kane52630]

I really liked May December but I wasn't not wow'd by it like everyone else.

David Ayer name is nowhere in that promo for "The Beekeeper' ... Is his name really that tainted now? Didn't even know it was his movie till I saw someone mention it elsewhere.

Also, I'm skipping that Bradley Cooper ego stroke. Not interested at all.

I think they put "From the director of Suicide Squad and Fury" in the trailer and on the poster instead of his name because his name was never recognizable to begin with. Frankly it probably would have been better if they had just put "From the writer of Training Day" and left it at that.

Out of all the franchises under WBD’s roof, I can only see Cruise fitting into the Monsterverse and maybe Lethal Weapon.

 

[Drizzle]

I didn't even realize that Cruise had a...*ahem*...fallout (thank you) with Paramount. I know Dead Reckoning's release was messy but him going to WBD is a surprise to me.

 

[Kane52630]

I mean you gotta think about it, he was the top gun actor over in Paramount until they ran into some risky business over handling the release schedule. They were so focused on the color of money that they didn't even think about the barbenheimer phenomenon. Listen, Cruise is a legend and I think the studio thought he had all the right moves but they should have been firm on telling Cruise he should move the release date. But now they have all this collateral on the budget and the failing box office. The movie should have been born on the fourth of july, not a week before barbenheimer. Cruise is now far and away from Paramount and heading back to Warner Bros it only takes a few good men to talk him out of it but Paramount has their eyes wide shut and they didn't expect him to leave. This was pretty much a perfect storm cocktail of events. And now Tom Crusie has sent Paramount back into oblivion of obscurity. ...
