Indiana Jones - Destined To Flop 

Hell ya! If Disney was a boat, it'd be the Titanic- but sinking wayyy slower.

@@Goats_ Or the "Titan"...

I always go to Clownfish TV for my Daily Dose of Dismal Disney. ;)

I'm sad. I was born 1952, I remember Disney Movies every Sunday night with Walt being your favorite charming uncle and the REAL (suspending disbelief) Tinkerbell. Then a fun movie, sometimes a series like those about 1920's paperboys / detectives. Ahh, Tink, where are you now?

Drinker just explained what Quinton Tarantino said This is the worst era of movies since cinema began and fuck superhero movies this craze is only been been beaten by the Westerns craze of the 40s to the 70s. But some of those were quality films and classics.

I don't know why she survived under them...why they didn't shit can the bitch years ago...

Imagine directly working with Stephen Spielberg for decades and the whole time thinking they could do it better.

Murland

Imagine directly working with George Lucas for decades and not learning a damn thing.

​@@masondegaulle5731Underrated comment.

When he took a drink, not knowing but reasonably confident that it was right......fucking gol

now the final image is a washing line. Now let that sink in lmao.

You think Disney wont make another ? Seems bolted on to me at this stage. Unless Ford dies first.

@@daviddines479 not after this bombs hard. How this cost $300m is beyond me.

@@purefoldnz3070 Well I hope not for multiple reasons. It is obscene that this is listed as a 300M cost. Then again I dont really beleive that. As Drinker implies with his notions about creative accounting. Not arguing the toss, as much as any movie ever costs what we get told this did cost 300M. Its just fucking ridiculous/offensive.

JOKER was Amazing. A top Notch Film

Joker movie was shit and good. Shit in terms of Joker great in terms of movie. You can remove Joker and put a unnamed individual not in DC universe but in regular universe and it would be a great film. Nothing changed. However not a lot of people would have gone to watch it there fore it TOOK Joker name as hype to gain that massive success. Knives out is a better example, bullet train another one, parasite also. And they did it without existing IP to hype it.

@@TheXSkitzoI feel the same exact way. Shoe horning the DC universe into the Joker story was unnecessary. The movie could have stood alone without joker or Gotham or Bruce Wayne etc.

@@TheXSkitzo Joker is basically a comic book *Taxi* *Driver,* *King* *of* *Comedy.* It only gets praised because of Phoenix.

District 9 too, holy fuck that thing is mythical to anyone between 30-40 yrs old, like holy shit, member that film?

If you go back in time you should NEVER try to contact yourself, causality loops et all.

@@skudzer1985 if I went back in time I wouldn't leave that's for sure

1980s Self: Then tell me "future boy" , who's producing Indiana Jones in 2023?

Between star wars, back the future and indian jones and much more I can't remember the 80s seems to stand out when it comes to new ideas and creativity of movies and shows than I'd say there was a boom period for scifi movies and series shows that ran from the late 90s to about the early 2010s other than though there really hasn't been anything I like since than though there's been a few exceptions such as the Gotham series show which ran for 5 seasons and the Man in the high castle.

Same. I made the mistake of watching Crystal Skull. Learned my lesson.

& there are only *3* seasons of Arrested Development

Kingdom of the Crystal Skull wasn't as bad as the redditors want you to think.

Nah, Last Crusade was the weakest of the four. Raiders is near-perfect; Temple of Doom would have been on par, but Steven Spielberg's wife was annoying. Crystal Skull was pretty good (albeit far weaker in the second half). Last Crusade wasn't very interesting.

@@mournblade1066 Bro hook me up with what ever you are smoking

Just like how Star Wars ended after 6 movies

Wait what? What about 1989's The Last Crusade? Harrison Ford was fantastic in that movie!

@@DachshundDogStarluck19 yes, he was. I think the point is that there was a two-year break between Mosquito Coast and Last Crusade, so it can't be counted as part of the ten-year streak. It's still my favorite of the trilogy.

Yeah and and let's not forget how the "virus of unspecified origin" only made it worse. Between the mega-inflation, the economic turmoil, the destruction of key education and medical infrastructure and the housing crisis, who really has time to waste over 3 hours and over $30 for one activity?

It's not a problem. Gone with the wind (1939), about four hours long. Amadeus (1984) three hours. And many more. Forest Gump (1994) three hours A Wolf of Wall Street (2013) three hours Dances with wolves (1990) four hours The Green Mile (1999) three hours, Schindler's list (1993) three hours. Sometimes, it can be even four hours long film, and the audience will be thrilled. It's about the quality of everything. Acting, decorations, screenplay, custumes, makeup, camera,... If it's a masterpiece, it's a masterpiece. If it's a crap, it's a crap. A good movie can be short, can be long, it doesn't matter.

@@DeadManWalking-ym1oo Even T2 won four Oscars.

@@miroslavseda9136 You named exceptions. Any point you have attempted to make is meaningless.

@masterlinktm You aren't able to predict in most cases in advance if the film will be a flop, or a hit. But, if you have good actors and actresses, screenplay, costumes, camera,... you very likely will earn at least the budget for the film.

100% agree. Its actually fun.

@@AchtungEnglander It's the only popcorn worthy thing about Disney these days! 🍿

Rome didn't fall in a day, and this is more entertaining then their products.

Well same thing was said about little mermaid but it's already approaching $500 million it's June not December 🤷

yeah but they have so many different sources of revenue its basicly impossible for them to fail at this point. They could literally all of their movies flop, and theme park and merchandinsing would still keep them afloat.

Indy.. was a good man with a good heart. May he and the franchise rest in peace 😢

His last deed will hopefully be the downfall of KK

Indiana Jones was one of many amazing icons and now he has been reduced to a husk, and it pains me to see him like this.

If this is Nick from THS... I hope all is well brotha

He was so many people’s absolute favorite character. How could this be what they do to such amazing things

More importantly, there is no singular vision. You can only get creativity when there is a singular vision.

Then they just need to go bankrupt... which they will if their products keep losing money.

Forget men over 50, forget misogyny, forget “the message”. Virtually all of these idiots flunked Storytelling 101. Give people a protagonist they can engage with and root for, before to expecting people to waste two irretrievable hours of their lives and their hard earned money to watch a protagonist they are hoping will be killed in the next five minutes.

@@kathychatterton5623 “the message” is why they have their positions. All the people that don't go along with “the message” are "let go."

It's crazy how they don't even know how to do what they're trying to do. They only know how to spend, it seems like. Hence why, in order to earn back more, they spend more. They think they're playing it safe but in reality they're putting all their eggs in one basket; They're doing exactly what they're trying not to do, which is gamble on projects that might not be successful. "Safe" is no longer safe.

Being talented doesn't make him less of stupid clown

After him lashing out at fans in multiple twatter meltdowns i have zero sympathy for him. Also, he went out with all the bullshit either on his own decision or by freely agreeing to someone other's. He could have smelled the flop in the making and walked out, he didn't, now it's HIS film, HIS fail and probably HIS career graveyard. Good riddance.

The drinker is a treasure to behold

Indeed he does, however probably wise to remember never call a Scotsman british...

How cringe you made this up for likes !

maybe you’re working with Vee but he’s speaking in broken English as a disguise

Because the Drinker is a living legend.

their goal is pushing an agenda, not making money.

Maybe not. According to Doomcock, and his Hollywood spies, Iger has told that Vile Bitch, that if Indy 5 doesn't turn a profit, she's out on her wrinkled old ass. He's tired of throwing good money after bad, and not seeing a return on it. Disney's stock is lower than WWE, right now. I check WWE because I own it, and it's doing very well for me. I check Disney, so I can laugh at them. So, our most important task now, is to make sure this movie dies a horrid death, at the box office. It may be our last chance to save Lucasfilm. If there's anything left to save.

That is not what the grapevine is whispering. KK's survival may be tied to the success of this movie, and two of her biggest allies within the company, the CFO and the Diversity political commissar, have left or been fired. These were the women that brought down Chapek. KK has shown immeasurable skill in surviving Disney political intrigue, which is probably her only skill, but there comes a time where every politician either throws in the hat or gets ousted from power, no matter how good they are in palace intrigue. And even if she did, Disney is flat out of money to finance her shenanigans. They've got Comcast gunning for them and they need every cent they can get to survive the Hulu assault.

That's the best part.

agreed. they'll never dump KK b/c she's a woman; and she'll always get paid.

This right here is exactly why I started making more of a point to buy concessions when I go to the movies. There is something undeniably magical about the theatre experience, and if buying a soda or some popcorn helps keep that magic alive...... Well, I will have a large, please.

That's why I stopped going to the movies entirely. The shameless extortion of charging $20 for 15 cents' worth of popcorn kernels and a little syrup-water just makes me sick. Your 'business model' is not my problem in the same way I don't care about keeping Wendys in business by paying $300 bucks for a hamburger. Apparently millions of other people feel the same, since the whole movie theater concept is just about as dead as the roraty dial telephone.

Precisely, kingdom of the crystal skull and dial of destiny don't exist👍

@@AbrasiousProductions Exactly

my favorite star wars movie is the most recent one: revenge of the sith.

Heck if they had burned it everyone else's money would have become worth a few fractions of a percent more and would thus have been a better investment.

The question you should be asking is. Was this a Movie review or. A rant or just another person telling us something that means absolutely nothing.

​@@Rodney0Browni think it's so bad that he decided to use it ss yet another example of the rehash and reboot phase of Disney/LucasFilm.

@@Rodney0BrownDid you watch the damn video? He may have overdrawn some points but he really made a statement with it 😂 Edit: He pretty much relied on the fact that we already know what to expect from the movie review (rightly so) so he’s getting an important point across before we forget lol

Depressing as hell so far!

I wonder how much of that is really hurting Disney. The studios have a way of distancing themselves from the production by making each movie a separate company. Then they earn money with the distribution fees. And then you have tax write-offs and whatnot.

Just curious What are the names of those 8 movies?

​@@gianpaguiligan1358Just look up what their last 8 movies released are, dont be lazy.

Thing is where the fuck is the money coming from? What business is viable after losing 1 billion in the last 12-24 months ? How much of the family silverware do you want to gamble on the next flop ? I guess as long as the creatives get their 1M paycheck thats all that matters right ? The bankers can make us all pay for disneys failure. After all its our fault for not paying the increasingly expensive cinema ticket price to see everything they churn out twice.

@@nogoodgod4915 It's the responsibility of the guy making the statement to back up his findings. : )

And it still looks great. I rewatched it a couple of days ago.

They havent lost the plot, they are just following an agenda from the rulers.

It's all about money laundering.

I really wonder where all that money is actually going these days. It certainly isn't going to the people who are on the front line working on the film.

I wonder (((who))) could be pocketing the money, and then also collecting the loans...

I always watch one, so I don't have to watch the other one.

ALOT more, since enthusiasm for the releases is at a solid ZERO

...Until those filmed books become franchises and cinematic universes then we're back to square one again.

It’s not that they are dumb. It’s executive hubris. I’ve a title so I’m “auto-great” in all I say and do.

Thousands, really? They used to write good books out of which they made good movies, but I don't know that there are really that many good books anymore.

It’s called Anime…

They’re not dumb. It’s intentional.

the same B movies that would be considered waycis and sex cis today

serials both raiders and star wars were made so that audiences could experience what george and steve experienced as kids when they saw the serials in the theater

When I saw them in the theaters originally, I knew that, and that they were stories like I would read in the old pulp fiction and science fiction magazines. (the kind i had to hide from my mother!) ... Light entertainment, thrills for the sake of thrills... escape for the sake of escape. Pull up the popcorn and soda pop "I'm just making this up as I go along!"

..flying wings and Type VII Uboats....YUP cheap stuff indeed 😛 ^EDIT: YES-yeeees....we never saw it fly. I KNOW!

Look up "Secret of the Incas," the Charlton Heston flick which directly inspired Raiders. I think it's even on RU-vid. =^[.]^=

I agree! There is absolutely nothing wrong with keeping things low budget! Most movies that I love have simple plots and simple design. Movies like Mad Max Road Warrior is a good example because everything is homemade, many of the actors look like regular people and it has a super simple story. And yet that movie has so much charm and personality even watching it today it is more enjoyable than most big-budget blockbusters. I believe Road Warrior had a budget of 4 million

can u tell the movie's name?

I remember being bored watching the star wars movies in theaters, then sat at home and got absolutely blown away by a low budget movie called Ex Machina

​@jmontes4773 the most logical argument in my head is that low budget *requires* you to get creative, replace money with effort, and use your imagination. Modern budgets are super bloated which let's people be lazy. Farm out 90 million of CGI to some indian/Chinese firm while you sit back, pay some actors to say some things and let someone else do all the legwork for you, then cash in with a beloved IP.

@@phoenixdzk Yup, Ex Machina is excellent.

no.

@tylerhartley5031 such a thought provoking response.

If they keep at it, Disney could get sued by shareholders. And, honestly, I think this needs to happen.

Them and every other large corporation, no matter the industry.

The main shareholders (blackrock, vanguard, ect) are the ones behind it. So good luck there. You're likely funding them if you have a 401k or asset manager.

If you know who’s behind it then you would realise money means nothing

​@@davidcooper8892, Please elaborate, if you're so inclined?

As opposed to adventure cinema?

I would be curious to know if there was a time in history when Harrison Ford wasn't a grouchy Ass-wipe.

There was also a time in history when going to the movies cost only 50 cents , , and when white actors put makeup on to play Indians , so please stop

@@SirBlackReeds Is action opposed to adventure? I'd say it was action-adventure.

Bots and leftoid iconoclasts always dogpile the reviews of big, mediocre Hollywood movies that try to maintain the current cultural zeitgeist.

I personally don't think it's that bad of a film, it's just that the original trilogy sets an incredibly high bar so serious fans and critics alike will always hold this one to them. I actually recently rewatched the original trilogy and yeah, the Dial doesn't quite have the same magic, but again, the Dial is fine in a vacuum. That's probably how most of the average movie goers think as well. Then there is the budget. 300 millions is a lot to cover and you need more than "it's not that bad" to make a profit when you also consider marketing costs, etc.

When you wish upon a star ''Please make all these "bigots" stop watching our trash"

​@@CursedWheelieBinI have bottles and cans to recycle. Better use of my time than watching this atrocity.

@@CursedWheelieBinYeah your gonna see it.

@@NuclearFridge1Yeah you’re gonna see it.

And Deadpool 3 is one of the few moviesI’m actually excited about

Deadpool was ass though

yeah, if only all rhe movie producers had crystal balls and could see that something like Deadpool would make so much money when hardly anyone knew who that character was, and there were enough of those awesomely great scripts in the world, with super actors to pull off the roles, all available at the right time, then we'd get a constant nonstop stream of great original movies. why aren't they doing that?

​@@perfectallycromulent you know what he meant. The key point being that they only spent 60 million to make it, so even if it didn't do that well they wouldn't lose a ton of money, or at least make a small profit.

​@@divinecomedian2 that sucks, it must be tough having ass taste lol

Eh, the prequels for Star Wars were pretty good. But yeah, anything after the events depicted in the original trilogy is non canon in my books.

Yes, although the Godfather trilogy was only 2 movies. Remember to only watch the original version where Han shot first. Hope you still have your VHS player.

@@davidwilliam9681 I do. I'm old enough to have seen all of them in the theater when they were released, 8 yrs old when Star Wars: A New Hope was released. Changed the world. And that was a dumb argument people made. Han was a smuggler, he knew who Greedo was and why he was there. Of course he shot first.

@@abrahamthebewildered1448 this should literally be the next great documentary series!

Also good story and no political messages.

The effects in that movie are glorious. Goes to show that money can't make up for genuine time and passion.

Dredd deserved so much more success than what it got

I loved that movie and I sometimes sad that there weren't many sequels. But then we get a sequel like Indy 5 and the sad goes away.

I sometimes wonder that if they hadn't made it R rated but kept the videogame fight scenes, then maybe it would have been a bigger hit with a bigger audience

I've seen Raiders of the Lost Ark and I was surprised at first it even cost $20 million to make, adjusting for inflation. It's a great looking movie, but it took my zoomer brain a minute to remember that they didn't have today's equipment and technology. But then I thought to myself, "shouldn't today's technology make making movies CHEAPER?" I mean, seriously, Everything Everywhere All At Once had a budget of $25 mil, tops, and was was edited by five people at home during the pandemic. And it looks so gorgeous and human! Despite being so overwhelmingly maximalist as well! Nowadays, sci-fi visuals are nauseating and often ugly, done by a team of dead-inside and overworked people and with price tags so ridiculous, you could do a thousand different life and community-changing things with it. And don't get me started on how much money is wasted on unnecessary advertising. I get all the advertising I need from people just talking about stuff online, and I bet many others do as well.

Would people watch it, though? It's hard to say. Audiences' tastes have shifted, and the economics of movies are massively different now.

@@Unknown-jt1jo Top Gun Maverick. If the story is good, people will watch. Maybe no one would want to watch on 80 year old Indy Jones film, but my point is that there shouldn't be things even in that film which drives the price to $300M. If that movie was made for $100M, then it only needs to get to $300M before turning a profit.

That's what you get when you spend so much money on green-screen backgrounds. Just like the previous movie.

A lot of that was due to scrapbooking and reshoots though. Kinda hard to stick to a modest budget for a film if you're essentially making two or three.

It was a movie you could enjoy, I didn’t think it was anything crazy but the beginning and end I thought was really good Indiana jones

It was a fun movie for what it was. Way better than Crystal Skull, but definitely not the movie it could have been. I spent 4 dollars on a ticket and I felt I got 4 dollars of entertainment from it. Not the ending Indy deserved, but the one he got.

My husband and I watched it yesterday and we both liked it. I don't know what the fuss / disappointment is about. Yes, the protagonist is very human, but he's an old man most of the film and yet he always is the hero. I don't know what more the viewers want.

Michael Bay’s The Rock: why not both?

He changed his persona over time, from character to character. This is changing a character to fit the times without doing any character work to show that change.

Terminator 2 is one of the only sequels to be better than the first instalment.

@@oldmate86 I liked the first one. It was much more darker and scarier than 2.

Indiana Jones never really had a "reasonable story's conclusion" though. Every original movie was a self-contained story.

@@m.n.s.s2825 That's true of Alien as well, but to each his own.

I will maintain until the day I die, and then into the resurrection, that Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was a very good movie.

To be fair, it's hard to get better than that. (Though you could argue for either/both The Two Towers and The Return of the King.) And there have been a lot of really good movies in the interim - just not within the past few years.

wrong. the other 2 lord of the things movies were just as good.

I remember watching in theaters and enjoying it but thinking...it's good but not great..surely there can be better? I look back and didn't realize just how great it really was.

Definitely feel fortunate that those films were made in that era. Special effect were solid and it was before everything went south.

It did get better. The Dark Knight.

so basically 90% of these films that have been coming out the past few years have been flopping hard?

I'm amazed by all the geniuses on Twitter & Instagram who keep insisting any movie that earns its budget back is a big success. The dipshittery is unbelievable.

What do you do in Hollywood?

My uncle works at Nintendo, so I know what you mean

Why would marketing be 50% of budget, shouldn’t it be a flat figure?

Then do it

@@dimitriwarchief301think that’s what drinker is trying to do!

Or 'Night of the Comet'

Or Terminator, Star Wars, Back to the Future...there's so many examples of the good things that happen when you offer artists and talented young directors with vision the scope to deliver their craft, even on small budgets they can deliver BIG.

What would a countercultural independent anti-establishment film phenomenon look like in 2023? What's "happening" in youth culture that's "cool"? And would you even like it? And why would people pay to see it in cinemas? I reckon the next Easy Rider, if there ever is one, won't be playing in cinemas. It'll be on RU-vid, or TikTok or whatever. And we'll all forget about it in a fortnight. I think only a talent like Tarantino or Lynch, who can command a big(ish) budget and major star power, are capable of producing something that will be innovative, rules-breaking and exciting enough to pull a big crowd and capture Hollywood's attention. I guess I could also see some explicit/provocative pan-sexual NC-17 film like a new Caligula. Maybe Cronenberg then.

He had faith KK would at least limit the damage. Lucas felt regret almost immediately, well before the desecration even started. To say his faith was misplaced would be an understatement.

@@Sorain1 True, but I still can't blame him. Disney had the potential to turn Star Wars into something truely epic. All they had to do was to pic stories from the EU and turn them into series and movies, The old Republic, the original Thrawn trilogy, all could have worked. The fans would've loved it and Disney would've made a shitload of money. But KK had other plans. I don't know, why she hates George Lucas that much, but she surely does. She's destroyed everything Lucas has created, Star Wars, Willow and now Indiana Jones. Disney baught the license to print money, but they threw it away to pander to the woke twitter mob.

Plus, y'know, 15 years of being called the Antichrist also wore him down to the point of just wanting to wash his hands of it. It is amusing that, only after the Sequel Trilogy came out, people suddenly said "The Prequel Trilogy isn't that bad". George Lucas and Zack Snyder are two of the best examples of people whose works became better in the eyes of the fans once the work was passed on to someone else.

yeah there is an interview that i believe was shortly after 8 released, like within the week. and in it george literally says he basically "sold his children to white slavers" he DEEPLY regrets the sale. i mean the only reason he sold in the first place was to protect the company, because he wanted to do some weird art house stuff and other things that would really just hemorrhage money and he wanted to protect the like 300 employees he had and their jobs, which is why he sold to what had been prior to 2012 a company with a large "vault" of treasured IP's that had been around for decades, so he figured it would be safest there. but its clear he needed to spend some more on some lawyers because he got back stabbed pretty quick. Disney closed lucas arts and fired nearly all the staff within a month.

Well he never made sure did he as his life’s work has been utterly torn apart?

His character is probably "offensive "

Sadly we live in one of the worst timelines. The ones who rule us all will try to make our lives more miserable each decade.

What a great & wonderful movie that could have been! Fifty times better than the hypocritical and self-righteous “message” crap that talentless, and might I add financially ignorant studio heads, actors, actresses, writers, directors, and producers keep churning out.

​@@mountainrogue3448 As a Cantonese speaker, I can't express how much I enjoyed Shourtround in Temple of doom.

I feel like it's a double edged sword. We have seen how other media often treat their legacy characters... so... while it may seem more enticing to bring back an older character... I dunno what you'd wanna risk more, having another bland new character that won't ever be remembered, or see a character that you adored be turned into some mockery.

@@PurpleMusicProductions You both think too small.

well the video game industry does blow films out of the water. it currently makes more than film, music, and television industries combined. and even the biggest budget games are nowhere near movie level. some films spent nearly 1 billion just producing and barely make that back. to compare, highest grossing film ever made was Avatar at 2.9 billion. it cost around 500 million to make, a typical cost for films these days. in contrast genshin impact cost 300 million to make, one of the most expensive games ever produced. and hast current made 3.1 billion. it failed to break into the top 100 highest grossing games of all time. you can also look at how much of a small fry films are compared to games if you look at some companies and brands. of the top 20 highest grossing films ever 11 are owned by disney (easily in first place as far as movie studios go), disney owns star wars, fox, abc, espn, marvel, national geographic and pixar. disney is worth about 40 billion. the single franchise pokemon is worth 90 billion. to put it into a more insane contrast. the asset valuation (the estimated cost to buy the company wholesale and all owned assets based on total worth and potential profit/revenue ) is 209 billion. the asset valuation of nintendo (the perpetual 3rd place behind microsoft and sony) sits at an absolutely insane 6.3 trillion. TLDR: the film industry is an annoying fly compared to the all consuming might of video games. why films even keep bothering when the other medium exists is a mystery.

And a protagonist with the personality of a teaspoon. Maybe next time. But propably not.

@@e.corellius4495ep, The Drinker is on top of his game here. If only the franchise was handed over to he and the Fandom Menace? we’d finally be entertained once again, on a fraction of the budget.

Fact

Let's see if we trim it down to the travel costs and film production alone it'll cost you. oh man, $135 million dollars!

The third Indy is my favorite and I think it is primarily because of the chemistry that Ford and Connery have together. I love watching them on screen together. The action and direction is top notch too, our course.

Member when stories could end BEFORE they just fizzled out? I member.

Lesson to be learned: they should've stopped with the third one.

Amen 🙏

Isnt there a 50/50 chnace it will be woman or not

"Sidekick"?! You must be a misogynist. The female is the upgraded replacement for the male, not his "sidekick".

There is no need for even A.I. considering how predictable the plots are. We could write these movies but we would ask for money, so activists writing in exchange of "exposure" surely will be the replacement for these writers without real life experience.

Technically it's a 4th sequel.

@@ReinoldFZ I could make a better movie entirely set in a garage and make it more compelling, it would be a box film about two best friends forced to confront their inner demons, confessing how they've betrayed each corner in one way or another, I guarantee it'll be miles more watchable than this crap and I literally just came up with that plot, just now

Man I loved upgrade.

@@SibonisoButhelezi-ic2vx The villain is not supposed to be the protagonist.

​@@odysseusrex5908Protagonist just means 'main character', so you can definitely have the villain (= bad guy) be the protagonist. Joker, Revenge of the Sith, The Godfather, American Psycho, A Clockwork Orange, Wolf of Wall Street, all these movies feature a criminal or bad person (in varying degrees, some are just frauds, but they're essentially also a villain, only using crime to get an advantage) as the protagonist.

@@justaguyonyoutube4592 That part of the movie was both horrifying and sad. F*ck you STEM!

Watching Drachinifel aren't we?

@@user-bi7xd8ry5p I was just about to say I should watch the Drachinifel vid on this agiain.

I see what you mean. At the end of the day producing a movie can either be a competently run project or a poorly run one. Comparing it to military procurement isn't the worst example.

Combining Wokeist ideology with those Hotels at Sea...what abomination would result? The builders would blame the water (and the "Patriarchy") when the ships would continually sink, no doubt...

Excellent Analogy. I am glad to run into fellow nerds like you Sir.

I need to revisit that one. I saw it in the theater and everyone had a good time. A fun movie, plain and simple.

In many parts of life, it is nicer to be the guy on the periphery with far fewer resources than close to the flagpole and having 8000 people looking over your shoulder.

Dan Akroyd is great in that, the general story is great. Like a Blue Collar John Wick Universe. Joan cusack as the secretary is good too, recommend it a lot.

It lost money tho.

I saw it in the theater but didn't pay, lol. I sneaked in after watching 3 other movies at that same theater. XD

Disney shills keep quoting that 560 mil figure. It's from an article that misleads by also including hundreds of millions of additional revenue from streaming, VOD, and disc sales.

Yeah - a very important remark! Don't leave those creeps a single buck! Don't poison your minds and hearts by watching Disney movies, not even on streaming, let alone in cinema! Drinker's/Nerdrotic's reviews are enough...Just watch woke Hollywood burn from a safe distance!

Already figured out how to get around them. When the kids brings up the toy from a happy meal or a TV ad go "sounds like it could it could have been a good movie" and they assume it's not a movie and forget about it. Never have to tell a single lie.

Not even I would waste my internet pirating this piece of crap.

@@Zed-fq3ljwhat if I like going to the movie because it’s fun entertainment and I don’t take it so seriously like it’s a literal matter of life and death?

Yes people are Stupid.....

Yes the movie theater model needs a serious adjustment. I don't even want to go to see movies that everyone agrees are awesome.

Common Dark Souls Fan W, Praise the Sun brother!

I cant help but remember The Joker's words: ''It's not about the money. It's about sending a message'' Or in this case 'THE MESSAGE'

It also explains why Tom Cruise can still make good movies. Too many fingers in the pie and too much dedication to nu tech has spoiled many enterprises even outside of movies. It's still possible to put all your trust in one competent person and get fantastic things done... but it requires trust which is in short supply these days.

I think what a lot of these movies need is a director with a strong vision who is willing to accept criticism. Not five to ten people trying to all do their own thing. You need one person with skill and control but who is more than happy to consider what might be wrong with the film. We keep seeing either directors surrounded by yes men or directors with no control and tons of people making demands. No in between

Content Machine

@@destinyhntr Yea can you imagine a Hitchcock, Leone, Kubrick, etc., movie being made by a comity (worse a comity of idiots) instead? Need to go back to "Here, you make great movies people want to see. Here is N dollars to make it."

Did your parents predict the future?

Yep they took stories that were ages old and part of common culture and copyrighted them all while lobbying Congress to extend copyright laws to absurd levels today well over 100 years if I recall

@@Joetino No, the company was s***ty back then. Disney just changed the target pattern.

clearly the rest of the world is racisist for not watching it, in the US did decent enough but the worldwide box office really dropped the ball

It's shocking that it's making that much, but there are plenty of Woke and Colored people in the world who feel included and will pay to see this stuff, is why they continue to make more of these

Can't believe it even got 500 Million🤐 Massive turd

Who TF saw that Shite

How much money did they have to launder to hit 500 million?

Sounds like someone selling crack… #destynova #doctordestynova
