Gail Simone doesn't work for Marvel Studios. Or Marvel comics. She's a freelance writer currently writing one Marvel book.

Hollywood talking is why I might watch One Battle After Another, while looking at my phone on Max instead of seeing it in theaters.

Hollywood being chill and shutting up is why I went and saw Mercy, Ready or Not 2, and Project Hail Mary in theaters

What did Leo or Chase Infinity or Benicio or Sean Penn or Regina Hall say about politics in the lead up to One Battle's release that kept you from seeing it in theaters? Only one of them is publicly politically active, but he pretty famously doesn't give interviews about it. Youtubers and posters here making complaintsabout the politics in the film they hadn't yet seen is not actors talking about politics. Did Penn's post in Ukraine the day after the Oscars keep you from going to see it in theaters, 4 months after it was out of theaters?


And, again, you guys are defending the rant of a screenwriter who uses Bruce Springsteen as a prominent example of an "actor" who won't shut up about politics.

This was a rant designed to be aggregated and then passed around mindlessly to people who agree with the sentiment that actors should stop talking in the interviews they're forced by the studios to participate in. Good job. You guys agree with the sentiment, which means that the actual content and context of the rant don't matter to you, regardless of how idiotic it is.

If the studios were refusing to green light movies because actors keep giving answers to the questions they are asked in interviews, which is what this dude is alleging, the studios would stop forcing them to participate in interviews.

Sometimes I might have to wait 3 days or so, but I can rest easy knowing this particular erotic fantasy of a hunky, absolute shite actor will present itself, regardless of topic relevance, on the M/TV.

The Apatow/Goldberg/McKay era of mid-budget comedy films

---

These were big budget comedies, which was a big part of the issue.

Comedies were getting more and more expensive, and, as a genre, never had the worthwhile return overseas, which studios decided was a top priority. The lack of comedies cannot be blamed on Apatow and McKay, but I do wonder if we'd still have more of them if top comedy producers like these two would have reigned in their budgets and still found produced similar profits.

Austin Butler

The odd one out.

Both Caught Stealing and The Bike Riders were marketed on his back, and both failed to bring audiences in.

The only other movies he's done since Elvis are Eddington and Dune 2, and he had nothing to do with failures or successes of those films.

Bourne (Renner is non-canon, so it's still a trilogy)

Will the people who read the book and also complained about the phone message in Pluribus get angry if even a single achievement announcement gets cut?
