Could be. Haven't seen it in a while but was this brought up in the trial? If not, I doubt it in the movies world. Not in the script, the script writer didn't think about it.
In the real world it could be a possibility.
almost every movie I've seen in the last few years.
15, 20, 30, 1 hour too long.
What happened to 1 hour 40 minute long movies
Dwayne needs to stop talking.
He's not living on the same planet as everybody else.
Never seen a hard days graft in his life. Never been in a pub where it kicked off. Never went to an after party at a house on a dodgy housing estate where people are congregating in the kitchen snorting coke and somebodies talking about stabbing someone.
Soft as shite.
But it's Denzel, so doesn't matter. Hardly a "woke" hire you absolute ghoul. One of the greatest actors of all time. Gravitas + Charisma with a cherry on top.
Remember when directors would fall over themselves to hire Marlon Brando in the elder statesmen roles. Then Marlon would turn up asking the director if he could be replaced by a bagel so he could phone it in with just a voiceover. When on set, act like an ass and not bother to learn his lines?
Now we have Denzel Washington turning up to be the best thing in Gladiator II.
Denzel is the great reset.
If the actor can bring it, who cares.
Denzel can play Kris Kringle for all I care, and I'm in.
She got into an accident which made her look hotter?
Nah at the and end of Indiana jones when the guys head melts and another sets on fire and explodes while ghosts kill Nazis is definitely "parental guidance" and not a U for everybody.
It's not "woke" craziness. There is some logic behind these guides.
Nightmare on Elm Street was showing over Halloween. It now has a 15 rating.
I'd love to see a list of changes.
Disney are testing the waters and it doesn't look good.
They've tested the waters many times and igonred. Of note, testing the waters with the Han Solo movie where the whole planet proclaimed they did not want a Han Solo movie (yet) and Kathleen Kennedy ignored the fans to make it with great expense.
Now Disney are a bit more precocious when it comes to making big budget movies.
They've moved on to still ignoring fans, as well as insulting fans to make massive budget TV shows.
The Acolyte was the largest budget TV show barring Rings of Power and looks no better than a cheap Battlestar Galactica episode with writing worse than the bottom barrel Star Trek episodes.
Star Wars was the closest gap from sci-fi nerd to normies the entertainment industry has ever had.
A money printing machine. Disney managed to not only bridge that gap from the normies ($$$$) further, but also accomplished turning off it's in built fan base, so everybody turns their back on this IP and it no longer makes money.
Remarkable achievement.
This movie is based on the life of Clint Howard.
Serial killers start with animals.
You ever see that Dolphin again? Where did it go?
Another part of the "Heroes Journey".
Except, Dwaynes ego is so big that he cannot take an extra punch because he believes it will diminish his "brand".
What a joke.
Arnie we know can be introspective, look at himself and derive depreciative humour from that.
Arnie can take losses in service to the story.
Stallone at his peak with a massive coke filled ego can even make fun of himself.
And most of his movies centre around him taking losses, hitting rock bottom. Even starting from rock bottom as a loser. Rocky & Rambo, Rhinestone, Over The Top.
Stallone is the king of losing, resetting the characters status from level 100 back down to level 1 then building back up with struggle...Cliffhanger, Demolition Man, Tango and Cash, Nighthawks (which is very good, go watch it) even Judge Dredd. At Stallone's peak, it must have been in his contract that his character takes a major loss.
The Rock is unable to achieve this feat, the Rock cannot ever lose.
The Rock only ever........wins.
Therefore, Dwayne loses.
What a waste. And everybody thought this guy had potential.
You post a soft opening from a few countries (most money coming from UK $3,105,641) as a victory?
It's a Christmas movie, and ensemble cast which includes........SANTA CLAUS.
The Rock cannot do it alone.
This will not be remembered by January 2025.
It's a McDonald's movie. Fast food. Consume and throw in the trash. Not good enough to be remembered, not bad enough to be remembered.
Basically Dwayne's whole career.
After this "success", what now for the Rock?
Its his last gasp before he has to quit the roids because the clock is ticking.
If those are his best........
I rest my case.
Then when you point out it's flaws they hand wave it away "it's just a comic book movie what did you expect?"
Dark Knight is a film based on happenstance and pure luck. If you watch the film and the logic of everything, it's silly.
Rocky 3 Stallone is playing Stallone. Or his idealised version of himself.
Long gone is the lovable blubber mouth, and in part 3 we have a cool, sophisticated, introspective, deep thinker who says very little compared.
He's had face surgery, his hair and make up are immaculate.
Watch them back to back and it's a stark contrast.
The beginning of Rocky 3 I had to check myself if it was the same character at all.
>The trial proved he didn't just have sex with kids though
The trial proved that bags of cash will make lawsuits go away
Who are you? Ronnie Pickering?
The story would be to degrade and destroy the character as per usual Disney fare.
Under current Disney writing yes.
Any other time I would say bring it on.
But you know that 2024 Disney will emasculate, embarrass and put him in the corner as a side character to a strong female character with zero personality.
Not that Sammy was allowed to have any personality in the prequels. George fumbled that one and made sure that one of the most charismatic actors in Holywood had zero charisma in his Star Wars movies.
But, that's not as bad as what current Disney will do to this character.
Disney says "hold my coors lite"
Watch the Substance. You will see a lot of tiddy in that
