Isn't that what they said about Black Widow and Suicide Squad?

The surprises this year have been productions that didn't seem to get much attention that came out on streaming or TV channels.

  • Resident Alien
  • Mare of Easttown
  • Invincible
  • Shadow and Bone
  • Sweet Tooth
  • Dave (Season 2)
  • The White Lotus)
  • The Handmaid's Tale (Season 4) - WHAT A SEASON!

It was a given MCU and DC shows were going to get attention, along with movies. But those were the surprises that jumped out. No matter what studio blinders someone is wearing.

Lastly, here's those Reel Rejects guys and somebody from Cosmic Wonder giving their extended thoughts of Shang Chi including what they didn't like. In comparison, the Reel Rejects guys were disappointed in Black Widow.

Prediction: I'm not saying Shang-Chi is going to singlehandedly save the movie theater industry, but with so many people now doubting the viability of movie theaters in the wake of Black Widow, Disney+/HBO Max day and date streaming etc, etc., I predict Shang-Chi will renew widespread faith in the viability of movie theaters as the primary place for audiences to watch cinema.

If filmmakers making these larger more cinematic films (and small daring independent films, too) are going to be forced to premiere their work on TV, the desire and passion to produce such work will diminish. Movies need movie theaters.

this is inevitable as I think the majority of movie audiences is younger. i only blame the studios for putting out mediocre films that sell tickets but don't expand the soul

Film is indeed moving pictures. They should be cinematic.

If you (the entire thread, not Tup) believe that these Superheroe movies are that, then you aren't aware of what great movies are waiting to be seen.

Free your mind. Someone posted they had seen Infinity War 100 times. Why not watch it 50, and watch 50 of AFIs greatest films of all time?

Did you ever watch Solaris? The russian version?

@paperheartis a film lover. I know he gets this post.
