Your contention is that this is the very first time this very old parlor/magic trick has been recorded for TV or film?

All fantastic movies. Probably not what anybody reading your list would think of as traditional sequels.
re: James Bond producer reveals the next 007 actor will offer a “really different” character

Female Bond producer? FFS...
Yeah. She only produces chick movies like the Tom Hardy Venoms and Project Hail Mary, in addition to all the current Spider-Man movies that everyone loves.
No one can figure out why Amazon would want a highly qualified professional with only 2 financial misfires in her career to help get a massive project off the ground.

but I dont agree that she makes people get out to the theaters.
People went to The Drama, a small, weirdo relationship movie, because of her. We know people did not go for Robert Pattinson, a lesson Mubi found out when people didn't go see his small, weirdo relationship movie from last year, Die My Love.

where I don't see the motivation to cast her
Whether people her like her or not, she is massively popular. The Drama and Challengers are making single digit millions without her. Or they're straight to streaming. I understand it's hard to credit her for the success of Spider-Man, but she's a proven boost to box office.

They’ve allowed too many women to run these shows
There has not been a female showrunner on a Game of Thrones show...
And as for the op, the first season of House of the Dragon was bad. So, it sounds like the show has gone from bad to bad.
I struggle with keeping up with long-running series.
Comedy would probably be How I Met Your Mother (208 episodes over 9 seasons)
Hour-long is probably all 7 seasons of Buffy (144 episodes). Plus the 5 seasons of Angel (110 episodes).

I do not think it is close. I have 1 and 2 and the two animated films ahead of any Holland entries.

Everyone outside of the studios wants this. There is no incentive for the studios to report this way, so they will not.

Thats $200 million loss, based off previous earnings of a box office success
Hey, disney accountants, you're not good at your jobs.
That isn't a $200 million dollar loss, that is $200 million short of a projection.
You are making assumptions about merch, and there doesn't have to be a Moana ride for a kid's love of Moana to drive their family to the parks.
Same with the idea that a stock being down means the company is losing money. Netflix's stock keeps struggling, and it remains the most profitable streamer, and it isn't close.
SEK started this thread to generate stupidity about movies he'll never see and does not care about. Those movies looked bad and were not successful in theaters. CEO, who currently has his stock up a bit, defends movies. What a fricking shocker. Totally breaking news.
re: Disney admits Moana, Mando failed, doesn't care. Box office flops still profitable.

Okay. Thank God I'm not in the club that forces me to see these movies, or else this would be a problem.

It had some weaker storylines but it wasnt "so fricking arse".
Haven't waded into this movie's discussion thread, because I assume there's a ton of dumb. Are people here loving this movie as much as the box office suggests they would be?
quote:

I'll check out the first few episodes of this season, but I'll be bailing after 2 if it's anything like season 3.
And I don't watch the most tv, and what I do watch is the stuff I'm quite certain will be good, or else I ditch it. Season 3 was bad. Keely's story was a disaster. The on and off again love triangle was the worst, all the way through the finale. The third to last episode is 70 minutes, with more than 30 of them being gross montages of people looking sad just past the camera. I think it's the worst epiosde of the series, by a mile. The penultimate episode with moms was the most nakedly emotionally manipulate hogwash I've sat through in years (75 goddamn minutes). And Jaimie has to have his out of nowhere freak out, too, just so he can have the big game moment. The finale was bearable, but worked so hard to make sure every character got their little closure moment. I don't care that the gay player's boyfriend walks onto the field, because it's been way too long since the writers cared to deal with the gay player. It's okay to not give every last character tgeir nice moment, especially when the comedy episode is at another 75 minutes. The game itself was pretty good.
So, what's bearable about the end of season 3 relies so completely on your previous emotional connection to the characters, not with anything that actually happens during the season. If the show is anything similar at the start of season 4, there will be cloying emotional moments with characters that haven't earned them yet.
Hopefully, I'll be wrong.

How did she age 25 years in only 9?
2009 was only 9 years ago?
But, yeah, she filmed that as a teenager, and now she's 37. I'm sorry she she aged into full adulthood.

Ring cameras create their own, different privacy issues. You've given a company access to your wifi, which leaves your home vulnerable. I believe ring can give your camera footage to law enforcement without a warrant. And, who are we kidding, that ring camera is absolutely collecting data on its customers.

Because the image is AI-generated. As is the image of the emaciated human they're calling Lupia Nyongo.

Mainstream music critics have been notoriously hard on Tool, despite their massive popularity. A good reminder that sometimes the masses like garbage music.

No one has said this or anything like it. You said something dumb, and you are making up dumber things to distract from that fact, because you like to pretend people are ganging up on you. You could just stop saying, not to mention incessantly repeating, dumb things.

When was the last time Spielberg made a truly fantastic movie? The same question can be asked of Scorsese.
2023. It's not a very interesting answer for Scorsese.
1993 for Spielberg, but there's been plenty of very good and great since then. And I think he's on a streak of 3 quality movies in a row, though i know that is not a consensus opinion.
