Didn't take much money either. Compared to other films of the type, hardly anything.

I read it as "Diver" to start with, wrong glasses, I got ever so confused.

Sounds odd but It would not be fair on Russia to not let them know of the visit. Even if accidental, it would be the end for them by accident and down to one person firing a lucky drone or similar.

Totally agree, must be a rare type visit for a serving Pres. It's getting worse for Putin, It feels like they are happy to grind Putin down over time and this sort of stuff is just humiliating for him.

It's 50% off at "Waterstones"

I'm pretty sure it can be done well if given the love and time a film deserves, but I suspect these films are rushed out and they probably have re-shoots as the story doesn't make sense or similar. Then they put it out on the date no matter what state it is in. In 2023, the CGI perfection should be a given I would have thought but it's quantity that is important for Marvel IMO.

I think they expected to pin and get Vuhledar, they threw loads at this target and actually lost a really good place by the river. The way it panned out over the last month, for the amount Russians dead, it's like Ukraine gave them the space to move into and then destroyed them and took it back. Let's see what happens as there is a rotation of newly trained Ukraine troops behind Vuhledar, on the way. 1 motivated, kitted up and NATO trained soldier, properly supported is probably worth 5 of these Russians troops at the moment. Even if your only ever combat training was playing Call of Duty for 1000 hours, you still wouldn't walk around a "Battlefield" like the Russians, basic common sense. Utter madness.

I have been watching this over the last week, they lost it all again. Russia look a bit clueless at the moment, run out of ideas. This was the master plan of yesterday, I think there are 14 in the picture. In a line, grouped together , no artillery support and no vehicles / tanks. They all went into 1 building shortly after this. I don't know the name of the tactic below but it isn't that good. They did this for 3 days.

At a low ebb I guess.

I think they just found her. Police find a body in River Wyre.

"Aliens"?

He was a tad unlucky there, both landed. Good stop though, he was finsihed.

Is this industry having problems now with sales or stories, it should , in theory be doing amazing due to the films ?

It would be super interesting to say to it, you are Churchill the year is 194*. What do you do etc. So build a situation test for it and see what it does historically. Kills Trump, Goes to Mars, makes Floela Benjamin Prime minster. Would be well interesting.

On the bright side used correctly, there is hopefully no reason that given time it might come up with radical solutions to solve human made problems we hadn't thought of. Don't forget, we are sort of guiding it ultimately and the bad stuff just gets flagged and then it learns why the bad stuff is bad etc.

I am not sure, it used to make billions, I don't think the numbers add up anymore. The (Costs + Promotion & Advertising) - box office is, in 2023 not a lot I suspect, we will see when the numbers come in for the recent releases. Yes it might be like Romcoms and have a place in cinema for ever, it might also go the way of Westerns. There are only so many trains to hold up and people to shoot with a solid story to hold it up. It has to be worth it in pure money terms or they will drop it in a second and never look back.

I just liked a post in here for Posted February 1, 2005

I really don't like super hero type movies, now and again is fine but not really my thing at all. However, I watch reviews and critiques of films where I wouldn't necessarily watch the actual film (EG Captain Marvel / Ms Marvel). Just to see what they are about etc. On the question of re-boots etc, from the outside the MCU / DC seem to be in knots and it looks all over the place from a continuity point of view. Is the whole thing running out of steam and it actually looks like hard work to (If you are well into these) keep watching each film they produce. (There are loads of films recently from MCU). Captain Marvel, from the outside looking in, it looks an absolute waste of time.

Cmon Leeds.

Took about 10 minutes, I got it when making coffee.

Agreed, I know I am old but it used to be better years ago. Much better. I can sort of predict how this is all going to go in the end, someone will get killed in the ring or a stabbing at a press conference or similar.

It seems it is possible to see the dislikes. You are on the money correct it seems. I think the products are just rubbish so they try and hide the fact that nobody likes it. The below is amazing, almost everyone hates the trailer. The live action remakes are getting rightly smashed to smithereens. This might get a reset from corporate (They do this when it goes to far away from what they want)

There is no reason why AI can't call for an appointment for you and drop it into your calendar when arranged. I suspect it would get through the choose 1 for X or choose 2 for Y as they are pretty easy questions. No more being on hold.
