Like the Golden Compass before it, everyone's just ignoring it until Disney's rights expire and another studio can option it and do a more faithful version.
@@blackphoenix77 Harrison Ford is probably the only popular movie actor that treats acting like a job and not like a lifestyle, the most outspoken about it at the very least
Daniel Craig is probably the one angriest at Covid-19 because you know they’ll drag him out eventually for another press tour when it’s released, via streaming or in cinemas.
Honestly I feel after Indiana Jones and maybe even blade runner all of the films he played in just kind of didn’t live up to what he could’ve done. It really seemed like he didn’t care about acting, which is disappointing because he does so well in Star Wars and Indiana Jones.
I feel like every time studios say "This will save cinema" or "This will re-invent cinema" less people show. People are afraid of change. It should be "This will exactly the same cinema!"
If there’s one important thing Quibi did was help illuminate to a lot of people how dumb investors truly are and they can seemingly be convinced by any dumb idea if someone just is good enough at warming them up.
One thing I've noticed since Daniel Craig's plenty of time to die movie was delayed is that all the Bond movies have been generously making the rounds on Netflix, Hulu, Amazon prime and I'm sure that they are hoping we all remember Bond to want to see the movie.
I used to work for QA testing in video game development, and it is terrible. Way too many dudes didn't do their work and thought it was just playing games and getting high.
It’s funny when Downey junior was on rogan he said he wanted to move on to more prestige roles in movies and not just be known as iron man, then goes and pulls bagpipes out of a dragons ass
@@christophergammon6670 Paycheck? His janitor who wipes his garage floor don't need a paycheck. The guy's drowned in that MCU money. He should just do smaller movies now.
Man I have to say I also forgot about that 007 movie, one day I get spammed with ads for it every where constantly, and then it stopped, never thought about the movie ever since, just now I'm like "Wait that didn't come out?"
People forget how dead theatres were after the end of the MCU. I worked at a theatre for about 18 months until it closed, and that Jumanji movie with Danny DeVito was the last movie that had a consistent population, also Sonic The Hedgehog did well, but not as well as Jumanji. Jumanji usually had at least 40 people in it almost every time. We closed in April in Minnesota, but January-Close, a “busy” movie had maybe 20 people in it.
Underwater was a decent movie but where I live it was only playing in one theater and we have about 18 theater complexes here which shows they didn't even pretend to market it.
What is interesting is that Dolittle became the highest grossing movie of 2020 in US. I just saw Rhythm section on Amazon prime and it deserved a better Reception because it is actually a decent raw gritty look @ what takes to be a Assassin in a more grounded real world.
Ok so I watched Tenet twice in theaters. Once in Dolby. Once in imax. In Imax I could hear all the dialogue perfectly.( Nolan prefers shooting in imax) In dolby however the sound of everything else overpowered the dialogue so my first watch of tenet was very confusing.
Why is there CGI for every single animal in movies now? Even bugs! You need CGI for a small bug to walk into someone's hand?! Jesus Christ, I can't suspend my disbelief when they're using fake bugs. My boring everyday life has actual bugs in it, so no, I'm not paying $10+ to see obviously fake bugs. Thanks for making the real world seem amazing by comparison, lazy mainstream filmmakers. Also, yeah, every Christopher Nolan movie needs subtitles. Some emotion would be fantastic as well, but that's probably asking too much.
Yeah I don't understand that - CGI has gotten so cheap that it's basically outsourced now. Before it was used as a tool to enhance movies and now it's being overused to do stuff that isn't even necessary, like Nick Fury's gun in Far From Home. That's why I find Quentin Tarantino films refreshing to watch. When you buy an expensive hammer everything looks like a nail.
You can't really say that Tenet was a "Bomb" of 2020. It only did bad in box office because of the bloody pandemic. The movie would have honestly done better than Inception in box office if they didn't release the movie during a global pandemic. I was surprised how dead Theaters have been this year. I went twice and both times during a Friday/Saturday and it was a ghost town in the Theater. Which was great for getting the best seats. There is a reason all the studios moved back ALL their important movie for 2021/2022, Tenet was the test for a pandemic movie and it failed.
Oh you're say tenet was a bomb of 2020 look I'm know this is 2020 is bad really bad. Have closed theater and Warner bros announcement movie slate 2021 on HBO max because tenet didn't make money. Now Christopher Nolan pissed off Warner bros. he say the worst steaming service
Back in 2006, Google bought RU-vid for 1.6 billion dollars. I cannot believe someone would waste 1.75 billion dollars or streaming service that was nothing.
I'm a movie theater guy, and there are things I really wanna see (Tenet) . But I'm also not going to buy a first-run movie to watch on my average-ish, not-home-theater TV with factory speakers. Until we start opening some movie theaters back up, *everything* is going to be a bomb if my movie-going dollar is any indication. But I think (read: 'think', not 'hope') what we're going to see for at least another year is comic book movies aimed at home release and streaming service originals. if theaters are dead then so (in my world at least) are films.
The thing that blows me away about QuiBi is this: do you know how many fucking people HAD to have explained to the creator that it's a terrible idea? EVERYONE i know had the same exact reaction when they heard about Quibi (including myself); it was immediately "That's a terrible idea. That's just like a worse version of Netflix and RU-vid". Surely, several people along the way had to have explained to the owner that it wouldn't do well, and presumably he pressed on anyways, determined to squandered a billion dollars.
I distinctively remember Christopher Nolan *insisting* that Tenet needs to be watched in theaters, and now he's throwing a fit that HBO Max is going to start doing same-day streaming releases so they can still make money
@James&Maso.... Long time listener, i just want to give a shout out to your video editors. Your podcasts are enjoyable as is, but whoever you have editing your videos are very good at translating your humor to the visual medium. I know benfromcanada is one, but whoever else there is, i want to say i see you and respect you! Bravo
You guys were saying maybe charging for a movie like black widow would have worked for them... But they DID charge for black widow when it was first released (at least here in California) on Disney plus it was 20 dollars to watch for a couple months. I waited for it to be free before finally watching it.
Because it didn't bomb. Just because you didn't like it (and tbf, I rank Birds of Prey as the worst DCEU movie to date) doesn't mean it didn't make its money back on streaming.
@@motodog242 and where exactly did they state that making the money back later on as a rule that determines whether or not something is a bomb this year? If anything they mentioned several times how this was a factor that could take place but wouldn't affect their list, such as Tenet. They mentioned how it is likely that Tenet will, or has, make its money back through streaming but it did fail at the box office upon debut and therefore it is on the list. BoP is no exception from this rule and did fail upon release (precovid even) and therefore should be on this list.
Remember my Grandad telling me to watch Call of the wild because it was so cool and the dog looked amazing. One look at the trailer and I made up my mind to never watch it. Don't have the heart to tell him how fucking bad this movie looks
I'm not really sure what Nolan did wrong with Tenet that made him miss his goal of bringing people into the cinema. It was everything I loved about Inception doubled and thrilling graphics non-stop. Sound mixing can't be the only reason for that, so maybe it was the genre or the way too high expectations he started with.
I believe I would be prime for targeted ads for the new mutants.... I saw a trailer whenever that first was released (7 or 8 years ago?) and the only references I heard of the film since then was from you two... clearly they need to hire you guys to keep everyone informed.
I honestly expected a lot more from the Corn of Coblin origin story. It's the only MCU movie we got this year too. I hope they do him justice in Spider-Man 3.
People hold their phone in portrait mode while watching it in landscape. Portrait mode videos are the bane of my exis didn't but people do persist in holding their phones that way. I think quibby thought they could accommodate more properly. A good idea but not good enough. Because the answer is to just turn your phone sideways and watch it in landscape mode. And people won't even do that.
Given the circumstances, Tenet was far from a bomb. Hell, I would say that it did very well given how there were no theaters in many big cities, including LA and NY. Tenet made over $350 million without digital, so the final number will go up.
Why so then fuckwits and Peta could cry about all the stuff they made the dog do, besides you can't actually train a dog to so that it always does what you want when you want....At best you have a 50/50 shot of getting a dog to do what you want and then there are the conditions you want to put it through.
When the marketing started for Quibi, it sounded like a executive visited the dentist office and flipped through a PEOPLE magazine and offered contracts to everyone that had a photo on the even numbered pages. When reading further, it read like it was an exec at a talent studio simply handed out other people's money to his wife's friends and then gave his wife a huge contract to narrate an animal show. Lastly, the premise seemed odd. It was built for people to watch shows while they are commuting to work. But, the vast majority of the population doesn't take the subway, bus, or uber to work. They drive themselves. I know COVID19 will be to blamed. But, Quibi has existed for years for free....as RU-vid.
