Just saying...
I'm not surprised to see the Guardian as the first search result in the 2nd.Just saying...
Neither. Their SEO game is on point
This is the link and tbf it is a very good list - https://www.theguardian.com/film/filmblog/2013/oct/21/top-10-arthouse-movies
Why say that though? Why say “I’m crying”? You’re not crying. Can people please stop saying that. It’s even more annoying than Marvel movies. See also “I’m dead”. Feck off with that an’ all.
Screaming.
That's a serious and I think uncalled for accusation mate.
No one is worse than Corden.
it’s giving boomer energy
Who would you want in charge of United? Martin Borecese? Or Spider-Man?
Legend has it that Colin Farrel was originally hugging Elizabeth Olsen but they had to photoshop her out due to her MCU commitments
That's criticism I can't get behind. If you don't want to lose out on the cool projects, maybe don't accept other jobs for the money. Nobody forced her to do that shit.
Yeah I don’t feel that sorry for her. She is loaded from acting in these shite films/tv shows but doesn’t take away from the fact actors and directors can be tied up for years and years. Just a waste all round.
I haven't read past the tweet, but voicing one's frustration with their own situation is not the same as crying about the cruel, cruel world. And in a broader sense it's indeed a problem if Marvel ties up "all" the popular actors, that could make a proper movie more commercially viable/successful.
Signing up to 5+ movies at a time is a huge commitment. I totally get why it would be a bit shit to turn down the lobster for 20 mins in Avengers 6
Well, then don’t. It’s not like she needs the money. She’s swimming in it. She just wanted a deeper money pool to swim in.
I mean MCU is a soulless franchise and generally actors are people who get into their profession for their love of the arts. Turning down roles that fulfil your desire to express your art because you're contracted to something that is akin to a mass produced toy straight from a factory in China, is, I assume, somewhat disappointing.

Sure it is. But she’s not financially dependent on the factory shit. She could’ve done independent stuff all the time. She actively chose not to. She’s not getting my sympathy. She’s lying in a bed of her own making.
I'd watch a Yorgos Lanthimos MCU movie.
I mean she probably didn't know what roles were likely to come up when she signed the contract, and breaching or terminating the contract probably isn't worth it...
And you believe she expected to play an actual character with emotions and shit, when signing for Marvel? Did she think she’d be portraying captain Texas‘s struggle with alcoholism? Or did she think she’d end up portraying the long lost daughter of Tony Stark in a black and white road-movie set entirely in rural Arkansas with a Sufjan Stevens Soundtrack? She knew what she was doing, she had the finances to do something more rewarding, but she decided to give in to greed. Which is fine and all. But she really should stop whining about it.
Harsh takes in here. She's easily the most likable of all the Olsen's
Lest we forget, Mary-Kate was married to Nicholas Sarkozy's banker brother. MCU greed is tame by comparison

I don’t blame her for cashing in. I blame her for whining about it. It distracts from the very justified criticism that Marvel is so deserving of.
True but the more people who moan about them the better and hopefully will persuade fans to look elsewhere when they see that even the people in these films know how bad they are
They are the Apple of films they could literally make a film of themselves laughing at the people watching telling them how dumb they are too keep falling for it and it would be be a success
Literally
Cheers for being the resident Marvel newsletter.
pure cringeeeeeeee
The self aware millennial comedy shtick is the easily the worst thing about these products.
It's incredible how bad the trailer is. terrible from start to finish.
They're not movies anymore, they're products, carefully packaged to appeal and attract teens and pre teens, that's the age they're targeting, that demographic sells more tickets because the parents have to accompany the kids, and the younger customers you make the longer you have the customers for.
That's why all the costumes and lack of personality in the characters, because 10 years later they'll need a different actor to play the same character, and this can continue till they can sell tickets. The multiverse is such a lazy and obvious idea to keep making movie after movie.

That trailer looked awful, but the actress chosen is a perfect casting choice, she was fantastic in an otherwise unimpressive series (Orphan Black) I saw with my partner a while back. What is funny though is the grown-ass men in this forum who really are following all the shite Marvel churns out more fervently than any teenage fanboi. It's not as if Disney would be producing things like Landscapers on a monthly basis if these mostly-for-children shows didn't exist, is it? I understand it's the persona some have created for themselves in here to try to stand out and they find it hard to get out of character, but it's a bit embarrassing sometimes.
This is what I was going to say. The moment they came up with shit like this
it was very clear it was just a series of products that were being rolled out.
They were always products, though to be fair no studio Greenlights funding for a movie without hoping to make a profit off it. All movies are products.
The CGI is especially terrible in this one.
Marty's Right, your films are shite
