The Rock was attached to a remake of this about a decade ago, and I maintain that it's a terrible idea doomed to failure...but I 100% want to see someone tilt at that impossibly large windmill.
Because after all, what is Jack Burton if not ludicrously unfounded self confidence persisting?

Someday someone’s gonna try to remake Big Trouble in Little China and it’s gonna be the worst thing you’ve ever seen.

This one is *hard*. I think HUNCHBACK is genuinely underrated and one of the most visually and aurally incredible things the studio has ever done.
But MOANA is their best animated musical since B&tB, so.

Today in the second round of the Walt Disney Animation Studios bracket, a wayfaring young woman goes up against a kindly young bell-ringer. This should be fun.

I personally think this extreme wealth concentration and growth are the main reasons democracy is faltering. We can, as a public united, push for change. We do not have to accept this as our future.
The pace at which US wealth concentration is rising is simply staggering
The concentration of AI wealth into the hands of a few tech barons + plutocratic capture ==> unchartered territory

Or Tim Drake, if they didn't want to be as obvious! Between the "Robin" nonsense and the dramatically insert mystery box nonsense with Talia, THE DARK KNIGHT RISES is the one time Nolan let Franchise Fan Brain dictate story - and it's why RISES (while still good fun) is the weakest of the bunch.
Seriously though, why wasn’t Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s character in The Dark Knight Rises just named Dick Grayson?

This is part of why the Epstein class fights so hard against climate change mitigation. Make no mistake, by "overpopulation," they mean "not white people." These chuds are obsessed with "declining birth rates," but only among certain populations.

The John Wick series is so effective because it fully embodies the three major tenets of dumb guy fantasy: 1. being able to kick anyone’s ass, 2. living by a code of honor, and 3. paying for things with gold coins

I predict the next step in the unending defence of Republican voters as innocent smol beans is going to be asserting that they don't know they're voting for the Murder Trans People party like every election for the last decade hasn't had them blanketing the airwaves with anti trans hate-mongering.

What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it

The Noble Savaging of rural Trump voters always pretends like the internet is some luxury out of their reach and they haven't been marinating their brains in Facebook for 15 straight years at this point.
Your average rural 50 y/o farmer or horse trainer isn’t on Bluesky seeking the opinions of enlightened liberals.
They’re watching football and 70’s/80’s reruns on TV and getting shitfaced so they can face another day of manual labor tomorrow.

Just gonna say that there isn’t an arbitrary profit number. What a film makes should be discussed in terms of what it cost, and the rule of thumb number is 3X (as in did it make 3 times what it cost theatrically). F&A cost $350-400 so it needed to make $1.2B and is just shy of $1.5B. Period.
I understand why a lot of people/trades are saying Fire and Ash underperformed. I do. Counterpoint: it’s still the 18th highest grossing film OF ALL TIME. Might take Barbie for 17th. As theater-going continues to decline, I’d say that’s a hell of a run for an “underperforming” sequel.
