but dakota johnson did fire her agent the day that first trailer dropped so they all knew on some level
Did she really? That's hilarious.

Okay my bad the first trailer dropped on November 15th and the reports of her firing her agent and getting new representation are from November 22nd and 23rd.

So a week after! But she was definitely looking for a way out as soon as it dropped.

She seemed a little miffed that the he was with my mother line became a meme, she said in an interview she was confused by it

im pretty sure she became fully aware of what the internet thinks of these Sony spider-man movies when the trailer dropped if she wasnt aware after morbius

i have a hunch she was misled in some way by her agent

If this was the movie after it got spliced up in the editing room, Im genuinely curious how bad it was before it got released to the public.

This is a solid point. Give me the "mother" cut!

maybe its just me and my overall anxiety but is it that abnormal for actors to not want to watch their own films?

I have had records of post grad presentations and a few small shows and have had no interest in watching them >_>

That was my thought as well. The implication of the statement and the reality might be too separate things.

I'm not into this as a cape film but as a Final Destination / Happy Death Day crossover tbh

but i don't go to theatres often and probably wouldn't here (tho it's around for my birthday so i dunno my dad might wanna take me out sunday)

I will see it someday tho, and i probably mean that more than Dakota Johnson

I think its fairly common to hear an actor say they havent watched their films. At least its something I recall seeing quite a bit

Yeah that parts common. A lot of people hate watching themselves.

As for why they keep making these or keeping hiring people without the best track record of quality, there are four words that explain everything. On time, under budget.

i am going to make it clear here: do not see this movie unless you are a masochist

WW2 was earnest in a way this doesn't seem to be. With that it feels like they thought they had a good movie. With this it seems they knew the movie sucked.

Wonder Woman 1984 is like, a fun campy bad movie and trying to be just that. Which is a weird choice given that the first one was an unironically good film, but hey. This just seems extremely cynically retooled and pushed out the door by the studio. It is a shame because theres done really talented people involved.

Also it turns out that not only is the researching spiders in the Amazon line not in the film, it was never even a line, they literally spliced it together for the trailer from different bits of dialogue across the film. Wow.

Not to pile on but sadly this film repeatedly fails to find its legs, all eight of them... A disjointed and chemistry-less origin story that barely draws from the original. The most fun part is the incredulous discussions you'll have after.

I personally thought WW84 was more mediocre than anything, about on par with Batman Forever if we're talking DC Comics adaptations. Though I generally prefer more lighthearted comic book movies and enjoyed Jenkins's sweeping direction.

As for Sony...I swear people still allow their hatred for the studio to cloud their judgement on EVERYTHING. At least it makes more sense than hating on Disney for being 'woke', but sheesh. At least Sony has regressed away from expensive tentpoles, and I also appreciate how their "Sony Spider-Man Universe" movies are self-contained without having to worry about a bigger picture. Admittedly that's about all I appreciate about them (saw the first two Venom movies with family), but hey.

I actually didn't have a ton of problem with the acting outside of Madame Web's mom, Ezekiel's intern and a bit of Sydney Sweeney trying to be a sheltered nerd. Nobody was good in the movie but nobody was truly bad (outside of Madame Web's mom)

Most of my issues are with the absolutely insane plot and bad screenwriting

Worst Picture
Worst Director
Worst Actress
Worst Supporting Actress (pick one)
Worst Screenplay
Worst Screen Couple (Madame Web and any of the three Spider-Women)

Morbius won Worst Actor and Worst Supporting Actress at last year's show

First off, I didn't see Morbius although I am VERY aware of that. Second, I meant for the most part. It's not like that affects the actual plot of the movie. Also remember if there was no pandemic Morbius would have been a 2020 release.
