I watched All Quiet today, lots of realism, gore.

Perhaps it is too close to the situation in the Ukraine to watch without feeling horror.

Why do awards have to meet quotas? Does merit count for nothing anymore?

[Nparker]

Do the BET Awards get slammed for lack of diversity?

[Matt R.]

No one’s going to tune in to watch the WET awards.

Haha where did you find that?  Sisu is the guts of that nation.

[Matt R.]

Someone sent it to me.

Good grief. The gore and violence in these new films is laughable. Real life isn’t like that.

[Matt R.]

Real life isn’t like the movies? The heck you say!

It's very Tarantino...  It's not really new...

I'm loving all these outside the box movies making their way to movie houses.

 

We've had Violent Night, M3gan, Cocaine Bear and coming soon The Machine:

Nobody wants to watch real life. We have to live it.

How do you explain “reality TV” then?

[Mike K.]

We could do without the ridiculous, over-hyped gore.

I think it’s a fetish for the Hollywood freaks.

It’s as real as a Kardashians face.

James Cameron’s blockbuster epic “Titanic” has relinquished its spot as the third-highest grossing movie in history to another James Cameron blockbuster epic, “Avatar: The Way of Water.”

 

The sci-fi sequel has generated $2.2433 billion globally, enough to overtake “Titanic” ($2.2428 billion) at the worldwide box office. Now, “The Way of Water” trails only “Avatar” ($2.92 billion) and “Avengers: Endgame” ($2.7 billion) on the all-time charts. Cameron, the sole filmmaker with three movies to gross $2 billion or more, has directed the first, third and fourth biggest releases ever.

 

“James Cameron just continues to chase himself on the box office charts,” says Shawn Robbins, the chief analyst at BoxOfficePro. “He clearly knows how to engage a modern audience.”
