    Vue's confused advertising:

    Ad 1: "We're so glad you're back to the cinema. Movies in the cinema amazing. This is your cinema."

    Ad 2: "Cinemas are important to the community. Visit Cinematogether.com. This is your cinema."

    Ad 3: "This is not a cinema. It's big screen tv, sports, games and other stuff. Repeat: this is not a cinema."

    Ah, this is sad in a number of ways. Talk shows are too squeaky clean for this now.

    I knew from reading about the making of the movie that Brando was like this but I never knew anyone said it at the time.

    Reeve was clearly an insanely honest person.

    I don't know if it was officially cancelled but I remember hearing something about the actors being released from their contracts meaning they can pursue other projects.

    I looked it up - "indefinite hold".

    If Netflix would sop spending money on crap about cooking cupcakes they'd have money for good stuff like TheOA

    The OA was the worst thing I've ever watched on Netflix. Pure drivel.

    Sounds like a double bill would be good:

    Googled that and there's so much wrong with that. So it's not only a gender swapped remake, but also will star a Tik Tok Influencer as an influencer.
    Maybe I'm just old but there's so much there I don't get.

    Gender swapping it doesn't remove the problematic nature of the whole thing being a bet. Maybe they've updated that too, but I can't see the point of this one at all

    Has anyone here seen both the Criterion and the Curzon Blu-ray releases of Portrait of a Lady on Fire? Looking for opinions on the possibility of any major differences in picture quality between the two as I couldn't find any information with a very quick Google search.

    Reads like it'll still be a bet
    He’s All That will flip the script, with Easterling playing a popular influencer who tries to change a nerdy male student into the prom king.

    As long as it's a straight white guy then I'm sure it'll be seen as acceptable.

    I liked the original and Not Another Teen Movie
    "She's got glasses. And a ponytail"

    Great documentary on William Fox, he of Fox Film Corporation. Fox Film Corporation would later merge, after Fox no longer controlled the company, with 20th Century Pictures to form 20th Century-Fox. The hyphen was later removed by Rupert Murdoch and then Fox's name also removed by the mouse house.

    Is it official that Tom Hardy will be the new James Bond actor? Or still just a rumour? If it's true it's good to see that they're sticking to the tough 007.:)

    I enjoyed the full thing, the writing was very on the nose at times and it was extremely corny but I laughed a few times and it felt like an actual continuation. I would watch a proper sequel with that cast and there is another daughter to marry off.

    Fair play to Vergara's agent cos I'd never peg her as anywhere near worth that money.

    Would those numbers take in money they would have made from producing & directing etc not just acting.

    For comparison, the top male earner is Dwayne Johnson on $87 million, followed by Ryan Reynolds on $71 million. Jackie Chan rounds out the top 10 at $40 million. Quite the disparity between the male and female top 10.

    The Forbes list seems to include all their income. So Vergara's includes 500k per ep for Modern Family. An apparent $10 million for being a judge on one of the talent shows, and a pile of lucrative endorsements. Also any streaming revenues that would be included in their contracts.

    It's also from June 2019 to June 2020, so TV stars are more prominent than solely film stars, due to pretty much nothing being releases this year.

    Which of the big blockbusters pushed till next year will be the first to say fcuk it let’s go VOD and charge €£$30 for a rental.

    I’m going with Black Widow with Disney using it to push more subs for Disney+.

    Wonder Woman '84: as I type it's still set for a December release so AFAIK it's the last big holdout of the 2020 blockbuster write-off, right? So with the HBO streaming platform gaining a bit of traction I've wondered if they might go the online route and hedging their bets until they pull that trigger.

    It probably will be one of the major superhero films alright used to push subs towards there streaming sites.

    The only thing with HBO Max is it’s limited to North America for now till it starts its worldwide roll out next year.

    I was listening to podcast and they were saying that it's unlikely BW will go VOD because SJ is on a contract where she gets a share of the profits and she will want a cinema release. I don't know how much say that gives her though tbh.
