Brazil’s results tonight are a big endorsement for the idea that every country should have a second “are you you sure about that” election a couple weeks after the first one for the important stuff

Fascinated by how this and Buddy had similar journeys: premiered at Sundance, didn't generate enough buzz to get picked up until well after the fest (Wicker in February, Buddy in April) but managed to ride a viral marketing campaign to a remarkable $5-6 million opening weekend.
Black Bear's Wicker debuted with an estimated $5.75M domestically this weekend (from 1,471 locations). #Wicker #BoxOffice

Surprised I haven't seen more comparisons between The Drama and You Can See Everything in how their marketing hid major aspects of each movie even though those hidden portions aren't exactly twists, but pivotable parts of their premise. That said, I do think it works better--

--for both movies that those portions were not sold as part of the package; for The Drama, revealing Zendaya's secret in the marketing would have kickstarted discourse the movie itself is reckoning with, and with YCSE, people would spend half the movie going "where's [Redacted]?"

elizabeth holmes caused people actual pain. she caused death. she did that. that means everyone is allowed to make fun of her. that’s it. there’s no debate. even if her technology worked, all of her actions around it caused pain anyway. her company caused pain. REAL PAIN.

Clayface tying Superman and The Batman for best DC CinemaScore this decade while being an R-rated body horror movie is pretty wild.

Really sucks that Cinemark plays a version of this right before every movie this month. :(

Walked into my Wildwood screening right as they were playing a Werwulf interview panel where Lily-Rose Depp said she loved Abbott and Costello as a kid

They just played the Narnia trailer and the guy next to me started head-banging as the lyrics to “Stairway to Heaven” kicked in.
