        I had no idea this existed. I'll need to check it out.

        • One of the kids at work chose to watch Wonder Woman 1984 a few days ago.

          While I love Gal Gadot, WW 1984 is a rare film that gets worse with every viewing.

            • For some reason I was lucky that that film fell off the schedule and after hearing about it I just never saw it.

                • Sometime last night Avatar 2 passed Top Gun: Maverick to become the top movie of 2022. It has already amassed $1.5 billion in global ticket sales. If it hits the $2 billion mark it will be only the sixth film to cross that threshold - half of them would be directed by James Cameron.

                    Last night was 2023. So it shouldn't count towards the 22 total.

                      • I didn't understand how WW84 could fall so far from the original. For instance Superman 3 was not great, but it took until 4 before that franchise attained what Wonder Woman did just 2 films in. I think it might be worse than Caddyshack 2. It's astounding really.

                            Well, now we’re back on the WW1984 pitch meeting with that statement.

It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire and ash and dust, the very air you breathe is a poisonous fume." Boromir

                              The short version:

                              Patty Jenkins was given full control after Wonder Woman was a huge success. This was 100% the film she wanted to make she had a lot of passion for the story and time period and AT&T/Time Warner was cultivating her to be the sort of "female Nolan" in that she had a lot of big ideas and really dug the artistic visions behind filmmaking. (Nolan also kind of championed her) Since she had kind of been ignored for years she took full advantage...

                              Then she made this film.

                              (Tbe longer after effect)

                              What really kind of killed her cred wasnt the film though...it was her attitude before it was released. When the Pandemic hit WB kept pushing back Tenet because Nolan would not allow it to be put on streaming and he had clout and threatened to never make films with them again and blah blah blah if they did tbat so they had to wait for theaters to partially open. (Which of course he did anyways and Tenet was easily his worst film despite cool effects and some awesome performances) Since most theaters were showing 1 or 2 films at a time because of restrictions it caused WW84 to get pushed back. She whined and WB kept offering to put it on streaming for but she wanted a theatrical release. They backed her and kept moving it which annoyed her more. Finally Tenet got released and WW84 got a streaming/theatrical release. It did not go well and she whined more. Then she signed with Di$ney to make a Rogue Squadron film (which was canceled then recently put back in development because WW3 was canceled) and also signed with I think Paramount to make Cleopatra with Gal. (Which I doubt gets made either) She ignored all the hate for the film and acted like it was a huge critical and financial success.

                              Truth is, and i said this after watching WW84, she should thank her lucky stars it worked out as it did. If that film is only a wide release film it bombs in weekend 2 and her clout is gone as is her credibility. The film did better with critics and fans when they didn't have to pay for it. It actually has a lot of fans because they enjoyed watching it at home not wasting time and money at a theater. Her petulant attitude really made a lot of her fans (myself included) turn on her. Same with Nolan.

                                Eh. Was just an opinion. Nothing serious.

                                I wonder if the Avatar 2 pitch was, I'd like to make the same movie, only 30 minutes longer.
