I disagree.
I think the fact that skynet sent back the t800 to kill all Sarah Conners in LA proved they didn't have enough records to locate John directly or even the correct Sarah Conner. What they did know was that John's mother's name was Sarah Conner and that she lived in LA during 1984.
In T2 skynet knows exactly where John is and exactly where the correct Sarah Conner is located. Likely due to the arrest records and foster care records. It wouldn't make sense that skynet didn't know this information in t1 but did in t2.
Sure. The rule of thumb with movie accounting is that the movie typically has to double its production budget in box-office just to break even overall.
With a movie like Encanto the budget is 130M plus another 100m or so for marketing. Then the studio only gets about half the gross. So after theater run Encato was probably about 100M in the red.
However, movies make money forever in the form of rentals, bluray buying, streaming rights, merchandising, ect. Also Disney has to fill their streaming platform with new content. So a movie with theater grade production that's only in the red by 100M is a healthy add. All in all i would say disney views ENcato as a modest success.
They would view Frozen as a big hit.
I wouldn't say Encanto was a "big hit". It grossed 250M on a 130M budget at best it's a mild success after all the bills are counted and the addition to their stream library is taken into account.
As far as the lights go it seemed like a fairly logical problem. Looked like he had dozens of strands of lights and different types along with dozens of extension cords. When you see him looking over his wires they're plugged into a reasonably organized power strip. Everything was actually done correctly save the switch that turns the socket on. IMO it was a perfectly understandable thing that he simply overlooked a double switch, probably because he was focused and occupied by all the more complexities.
At the end of the day its a comedy! A comedy that wanders by and forth from realism!
Agreed.
I just think it's strange that if Howard's primary goal was to become romantic with mew or at least turn her into a daughter figure for him that he didn't have a plan in place to get rid of Emmitt. During the peaceful time he really doesn't seem to mind Emmitt, treating him as a minor annoyance.
I guess the argument could be made that he was just waiting for a justifiable reason to kill Emmitt and it just happened to come when Emmitt falsely admits that he was making a weapon to take Howard's gun. But shoot that kind of confession would put anybody on self-preservation alert.
Howard is portrayed as possibly being on the autism spectrum and seems to have trouble communicating with Emmitt and MEW. I think this possibly makes him appear creeper and more abusive than he intends.
Didn't OJ say the fake horse hurt it? That's why it was afraid of the flags?
I've only seen the movie once but from what I gathered the saucer trying to destroy the house by inhaling it along with the barbed wire had hurt it. The form it took at the end was to air out and release all of the debre it inhaled.
I also got the feeling it wanted to attack OJ but was cautious and afraid of being hurt again. Now why it attacked the balloon at the end I have not idea. Seems like it should have known there was something sketch about it.
Completely disagree!!! Milly was attractive, captivating, and had a energetic vibe about her. Her and Matt Smith are the only ones that bring a uniqueness and humanity to their roles. The rest of the cast is complete borefest.
The new Rhaenyra doesn't even try to match her predecessor's mannerisms.
And now the show has lost half the reason to watch. Good job showrunners. If I were you I would lean heavy into Matt Smith if you want any longevity to your show.
^^^^ Good points
Here's the way I see it.
T1- Skynet sends the T800 and John sends Kyle. After that the future is changed because the of the T800's remains and Sarah having information about skynet and a nuclear war. The factory finding the T800 speeds up the process and tech level of the future.
T2- Since the tech level is advanced due to the T800 being sent back. Skynet has a T1000 and the John has old T800s reprogramed around the time of the time displacement being built.
Also, since John had to entered foster care due to his mother trying to blow up factories and what not skynet had better records and was able to find John's location directly, instead of sending it to 1984 to kill all Sarah Conners in LA.
So, to answer the question directly I would say the T1000 got sent back directly when the time displacement equipment was finished instead of the T800.
Waaay Better!!

1. Incredibly poor writing
2. Didn't want to overshadow Dr. Sattler
3. Didn't want more than one masculine man and they already had Pratt
What's more is Dr. Grant is completely out of character compared to JP and JP3
I mean I personally didn't think he looked anymore miserable than Pratt did. I didn't get the vibe he was intentionally performing poorly due to lack of interest. I got more the vibe that the script was absolutely horrible but instead of really hamming it up or trying to adlib which would potentially cost thousands of dollars per take and made work day that much longer for his fellow actors he instead just read the lines as closely as written to keep things smooth.
Remember this is a 200M project and the actors spend hours on set during a work day mostly just waiting around for everything to be set up. Then when they say action and cameras roll they need to get it right the first time so they aren't stuck their for hours longer getting the scene filmed. Notice during bloopers when actors mess up they say sorry sorry everybody.

Not only that but do you really turn down a request from Spielberg? Spielberg is an executive on the franchise and I'm sure he gave Sam a call and requested he return. Sam knows turning down Spielberg could mean missing out on something special down the road.
Remember this is an industry and if you piss people who work in it you will struggle to find work. Interesting work and work that pays the bills is much more difficult to find for non A-list actors.
A good example was Don Bluth turned Spielberg down for American Tale 2 and then a few years later his animation company went belly up. Don himself even admitted if he stayed with Berg things would have probably have been better because Berg was the great at establishing deals, relations, and quality scripts. I bet Don would be running DreamWorks animation now.
I would say it's worse than they say.
Its the first entry that wasn't even enjoyable upon first viewing. I love the first movie(one of my top 10 all time) and like the other 4 even with their flaws. However, this movie is just... terribly terrible. Pretty much as bad as Rise of Skywalker.
I could list hundreds reasons why but at the end of they day it's just incredibly lazy and boring story writing, screenplay writing, terrible character development/progression. The direction, pacing, and execution even makes the action scenes a bore fest. I mean its a movie about Dinosaurs and they couldn't even make it exciting to watch. Upon all else as others have said they completely wasted if not ruined the original characters. I could forgive all else and just leave it as a poor movie but the idea that they ruined Dr. Grant and Dr. Malcom actually angers me.
Its actually shocking that these film writers were not only given the high profile job of writing a sequel to a prolific franchise with millions of world wide fans spanning 30 years, they were paid millions to do it.
The real question is who liked it and why?? I would think most people who give it a positive review are going to have very rudimentary reasons.
Yeah it was really sad.. I'm sure he read the script and was checked out before cameras rolled.
Dr. Grant was such a good character too. Looked like he was there because it was expected of him.
They didn't do anything with him in this 3 hr turd of a movie. We're talking about a world-renowned paleontologist that was also brave and a genuine hero throughout the series. His lines in this movie were run, scream, biggest land carnivore, you trained raptors, run, look surprised, and scream. Oh and some BS out of place nonsense about coffee for a cheap attempt at humor.
Good lord they had years to make this movie with people who're millionaire writers and this was the best they could do. Middle schoolers could have kicked out something more interesting especially given the source material and an already established character.
Davis is probably way to expensive for the role. She's at film and leading TV series level I believe. The other 2 are probably very unknown and work at scale or slightly above.
Sounds like a reasonable explanation to me! I hadn't heard that theory.
It's never stated where these aliens are from.
I'd say Bradley's character was the only likeable one. Even if he was just playing Samwell Tarley in space.
Agreed. This movie had a lot of odd things.
I think you could have cut Pena, Patricks son, Halle's son and their entire sub plot and characters involved. You would have a 40 minute shorter and better movie. It was like the producers threw in a bunch of junk and characters so it wouldn't be a movie just about the moon falling.
The writing was so bland and bad. I felt like the screenplay was just copied and pasted from previous movies. A teenager could have written a better script in a couple of weeks. And yet somehow this received a 200M of funding.
It was like Roland wanted to make a movie about Moon conspiracies being true but the financial backers wanted a more traditional disaster movie similar to 2012 and day after tomorrow. So they added a bunch of garbage side characters to fill in space and time.
