I saw PR Uprising tonight. I thought it was pretty good. Not amazing or anything, but I enjoyed it.



I was thinking that it would have been amazing as a TV series though to give more time to the characters and the universe. Movies like this always feel so rushed to me.

Most of this is thanks to the Rock and Wakanda, but I'll take it.



Now we just needs some WoC. I do think the female characters, esp Okoye and Shuri, in Black Panther were a huge draw once word-of-mouth got going, but I want them to be the headliners. A Wrinkle In Time was a good start, but EVER UPWARD

NEGL this was my first thought. I wish A Wrinkle in Time did better tho, I thought it was sweet.

1 week went to Fifty Shades Freed starring Dakota Johnson



Hooray! We've solved misogyny!







But, you know, this is still mostly good. And I very nearly almost liked Anastasia in this one; Dakota is once again the least terrible part. Hooray!

But I thought movies starring women and minorities were box office poison... */sarcasm*

Will Hollywood learn from this? Not holding my breath.



Really curious to see how Ready Player One does this weekend.

Yeah, I still think it'll flop. People just don't connect with these CGI-heavy sci-fi/fantasy movies, and they haven't been doing well lately.

IMO for RP1... the book was really popular but the trailers haven't had much of the book's appeal in them (and I hated the book lmao) and overall haven't had... much of anything except pop culture references and CGI?? Like if I didn't know the plot bc I'd read the book I wouldn't know what it's about except weird anime MMO characters lmfao. So idk, faithful book readers might see it but at the same time I can't see the trailers drawing people in. My prediction is that it'll have a mediocre to slightly above mediocre box office performance. Not a flop but not a box office hit either. And then Rotten Tomatoes will trash it.

It looks like the sequel to Valerian but with licensing.

There's no need to insult Valerian like that.



(But that was just one of my absolute favorites of last year and I'm so sad we won't see another one).

I'm so happy for Black Panther. But, I kind of wish there were some more good movies coming out. I wanted to go to the movies today and there was NOTHING I wanted to see. I ended up watching Game Night, which was surprisingly not bad.

THere's so many "Yeah I guess I'll watch it." and maybe one movie I'm looking forward to doesn't even have a release date so I'm like "Eh....two films it is I guess."

Yeah, I don’t even know what’s coming out this year besides the Avengers. I’ll see that.

I've got A Quiet Place and Infinity War lined up for April...and then I guess Deadpool 2 in May? Not sure about what else is hyped this year. I have zero interest in Solo.

Don't pat yourself on the back just yet, Hollywood.

Was A Wrinkle in Time really not that good or are people just nitpicking because the lead character is black and now all of a sudden problems they would've ignored before are suddenly THE WORST EVER?



I saw it, and enjoyed it. I understand it was probably aimed for a younger age which is why some decisions seemed off. I don't have a particularly strong connection to the book tho, I wonder if the hate has to do with racists or people of a certain age feeling entitled and mad the movie doesn't cater to them anymore. It honestly didn't seem that awful to me.

I thought it was confusing, as I never read the book, and the fact that it was so sweet and kind to black girls probably made others more mad.



I cried so much during it.

That's awesome and I hope it continues! I did see Maze Runner and really liked it. Finally watched Jumanji and really liked it, as well. I was holding off because I love the original film so much and didn't want to be disappointed.
