From what I'm reading, it sounds like Eon still holds a lot of control re:Bond, and they will obviously fight tooth and nail to maintain a theatrical release with a healthy window, I would imagine. Not worried...yet.

 

“Normal human clothes”

 

holy shit, amazing reference

 

I was not expecting to see that as her real last name.

Why can't they enjoy superhero movies for the mindless entertainment that they are? There is nothing wrong with seeing movies that are the equivalent of empty calories, but the need to try and elevate it to some sort of masterpiece just makes it look like you are not able to seriously engage with art.

 

Regarding the intellectual property issue, it is because you have people who have nothing to do with the creative side of production making these statements. For them, the movies they own now are products that can be milked through sequels or ancillary merchandise. Sooner or later they will have an algorithm to greenlight movies.

Video gamers use the term "intellectual property" a lot, and it never stops being weird.

People got mad at Scorsese about two months ago for talking about the importance of films being curated for people to cut through the noise. He was right again.

Why does Amazon pay for this kind of stuff just to waste it? The same goes form overpaying for MGM.

 

Amazon and HBO have the most money yet somehow put the least effort into their streaming services when both should by far the best.
