Who do you think is the target audience?

2027 best picture INCOMING... (spoiler hidden) Okay well I can be really cynical and probably well reasoned to say, this looks like baby food, garbage, slop. HOWEVER... I do know its funding jobs, and frankly I have sympathy for the people forced to work on this project. At least its keeping the lights on but as a piece of artwork, yea no, not excited.

Let's chat about the exciting upcoming films for 2026 and beyond, or the unexciting films. You choose, lol! Anyways, we got a new featurette for Paramounts "Heart Of The Best" starring Odin the dog (better lead then the actor) lol, no but hey, it's cute. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFTFrV8GSWw and I like they are using a real dog. Another new thing... A24 released a trailer for Primetime https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fHXyqQOKL8 Which for those sensitive to (spoiler hidden) this is probably not for you. However as for me watching this I mean it's probably gonna be interesting but IDK, I'd have to look into the actual story to see how "Hollywoodized" it is, that said off the premise it could be in a way not cathartic but almost... very satisfying? Seeing these people called out and dealt with? But obviously there's legal issues with questions of, should Chris Hansen even be doing this? What gives him legal right? ON a Lighter note; Ketchup have released a clip from Coyote VS Acme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W508lrjF7ns I honestly am very worried for the films financial prospects but I think it's legacy could be more important then a dollar sign. It's an example of an artwork, one many who've seen have claimed is great being treated like rubbish because it wasn't profitable for the studio that held it's fate. I'd rather get a bad movie saved or a good movie saved, then never see it due to just "financial insecurities". HOWEVER- I do think WB was probably right in "claiming it wouldn't be profitable" because Looney Toons frankly just aren't these days. Unfortunately - but I still am planning to see this if for nothing else to have fun!

Alright so I saw Spiderman BND this past Saturday August 1st 2026, and I really liked it... but certain things prevented me from loving it, I still prefer NWH, and while I tried to attempt to create a discussion, it was gonna be too many filtered text and such so let's move here: THAT Said... my two biggest problems are 1. I don't think Jean needed to be in this at all and the X-Men tie in just feels like Marvel trying to build up Phase 7 2. Jean is kind of hard to like: What I mean by that, is Sadie Sink's Jean Grey one, I did not emotionally connect with performance wise, and furthermore, her actions are really hard to get past. I am all for forgiving IRL people make bad choices, and mistakes, but there are just some things that make it hard to wanna root for them even when they change in media. 1. Jean basically tricking a lonely young adult into thinking his crush remembered him and going as far as to let him kiss her just to reveal "I'm mind control" - one that morally has complexities - I wouldn't call it sexual assault but then again I have to be honest I fell for it and didn't see the twist coming- on that level it was an amazing twist that actually got me. BUT... I still struggle to forgive Jean for exploiting a man's emotions for what purpose? "to punish"? Furthermore even when later Peter gives her over to Damage Control... Jean's mad at him which I get but like- he didn't know better, and the second he did he was sorry... THAT SAID I also felt the way they made the connection with Aunt May to be very clunky? I loved the dialogue, and thought that was emotional but how did that even work? Peter just let her hear the words said to him? Is that even genuine help? That'd be like a therapist giving you there last patients same help plan despite you being a different person then the past client. Also Jean's kinda no offense, I didn't like the performance and I don't know if I'd blame the actress, more the direction: My go to Phoenix is Sophie Turner which sure "was she a bad actress"? DP is a bad movie- but what I remember most, amongst the studio reshoots and junk is the performance: Sophie could very easily be the innocent scared girl that has this unmatchable power... and yet go into a vicious rage of emotions whenever the script needed- this Jean could to (Sadie Sinks) but I don't feel the vocal warmth of past performances. I think BND gets a lot right, I mean I love the direction for the most part, the cinematography, the music, the action, oh just gold!!! Though I admit once again, I think Scorpion would've been a more fulfilling villain because of his actual physiciality in combat (AKA Jean's mainly using mind magic and psychic shields) but also it'd close the Homecoming post credit scene. Where it felt like this film basically was like Eh. Forget the past trilogy set ups.

Yea it's weird, but its because the automated bot system- IK for a fact I would think- lol that YT does not strike videos or Disney, but it's an automated system.

It's strange how they would be blocking your reviews and reaction to one of there trailers Prism as someone promoting there work through excitement and positivity would surely benefit them financially, this is definitely a case of online injustice upon both there fans and their own financial stability. As to whether people will accept automated functions online or not this honesty depends on the kind of people who encounter said automation, some will simply accept it and conform to the latest tech trend others who are more cautious and genre savvy are most certainly likely to not accept such automation and may even outright challenge it and campaign for it's deletion. On the matter of actor controversy and the manner on how criminals should be dealt with in accordance with there crimes, those are subjects I'd rather not delve into any further. Others who see this thread might but not me.

I think that's pretty good tbh, especially since we lean on Discord Oauth to verify users, this makes this site safer and it makes children safer. The methods used... may not always be the best. The automated systems, leave a lot to be desired. Hopefully we can improve that. with regards to the rest, I'm not confident if it's wise to have political discussions here. I mean I am not confident I can elaborate on my thoughts without saying too much or too little. Justice means fairness and support for all, and improving the state of society.

You then get pieces like this coming up: https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/news/releases/attorney-general-ken-paxton-secures-historic-legal-victory-forcing-discord-protect-texas-children Basically Texas has forced Discord to add in new protections for age verification to prevent less predator encounters. But can we say that the punishment for these people isn't often enough? I mean I look at Hollywood, Jared Leto called out for sexual misconduct, what will happen? Probably lose acting, but no prison sentence? I also agree that they are very tight lipped about protocols taking place: Which some might argue is "to protect the offenders" but I say who cares. "They made there bed, they can lie in it." If they really want to be a complete bigot and jerk then they deserve to be labeled for it and not shielded by corporations. Also I totally sympathize with the stupid YT content blocking - I've not had it go that far but, I've had multiple reviews blocked, tbf one or 2 used a lot of footage, but even the new Doomsday trailer got struck and I'm just like bro- Disney, I am trying to promote your movie by explaining my excitement?? I do hate "automated protections" besides anything automated can be exploited? Do you think people are really gonna accept more automated / protection verifications? No, it'll be broken. That said I do defend discord as I admit I was under 13 when I joined and so were many others, I'm 21 now, but I think in general yea, joining could be made stronger but not by an AI tech piece.
