That Hidden Strike poster is amazing. John Cena playing a Pacific islander in a Mad Max Fury Road knock-off next to Jackie Chan playing a zombie. *Revs fire spewing engine* *Peels out to Papa Roach's Last Resort*
TIL the original white woman from In Living Color (before they added Alexandra Wentworth, a.k.a. the main character's shitty girlfriend in Office Space) married the Korean guy from In Living Color. Who, as I just learned a few weeks ago, was also Mike Yanagita from Fargo. What will I learn next?!
I like everyone involved with The Blackening, but isn't subverting the "Black person dies first" trope almost as old as the trope itself? Jada Pinkett Smith, herself a Final Girl in Demon Knight, talked about it at the beginning of Scream 2.
Also, Bottoms is from the team behind Shiva Baby, which I highly recommend.
Two weeks in a row I keep reading that Indiana Jones poster as "The Dirl of Destiny."
Also I can't see anything about The Boogeyman without thinking of Mr. Burns going "for heaven's sake, Smithers, what are you afraid of? The boogerman?"
OK, I can sorta understand why "IMAX" is in a much larger font than "Oppenheimer," since Nolan famously shot it in that format (11 miles of film stock that weigh in at 600 pounds!), plus there's the whole Tom Cruise MI7 feud over screens. But what's with the "Elemental" poster which features the word "Dolby" far more prominently than the title? "Well, I was going to wait to watch it on Disney+, but now that I know I can hear the voice talents of Leah Lewis and Mamoudou Athie in a multidimensional soundscape, I'm buying my tickets ASAP!"
I think it also goes to show how poorly Dolby Cinema has been advertised to people. I knew about the sound benefits, but until I started going to the movies again regularly a few months ago, I didn’t know that their projections also have the kind of contrast levels OLED TVs do. Basically any movie will benefit greatly from that, but animated movies and other ones with brighter palettes pop so much more in Dolby Cinema. All to say -
I can’t wait to do the opening night double feature of the Barbie movie in Dolby Cinema, and Oppenheimer in 70mm IMAX.
Greg Lemond called out Lance Armstrong for doping back in the day. Lance responded by doing everything in his power to destroy Lemond's brand (mostly successfully as I recall).
So I'm glad to see Lemond is still throwing jabs at Lance, just when Lance is trying another popular comeback.
So I have questions about Bottoms. It appears that the 2 football guys are gay homos, the lady in the pink pants has a habit of going down on Greenie, and the 2 in the top right are casual lesbian lovers... so what am I to infer about Marshawn Lynch and the underaged hairless twink he's using as human furniture? I mean I'm all for Marshawn going Beast Mode... but maybe not in this context?
The Boogeyman should be a collection of Boogeymen played by upcoming, current and former NHLers: Josh Manson, Miro Satan, Cutter Gauthier, Kaiden Guhle, Stu Grimson, Adam Deadmarsh, Will Butcher, Adam Graves and Magnus Hellberg.
Is it just me or does the poster for Warhorse One look like Rob Schneider is making his last-chance Oscar push?

Those square toed shoes were abhorrent.

Apparently that Alexandra Wentworth is married to George Stephanopoulos(!)
I should really get back to work.

YORGOS!
Two Tenenbaums references... love it

I can't believe Nolan shot IMAX in Oppenheimer! That guy is cutting edge.

Elemental feels like Inside Out but stoner-y. “Fire and water meet-cute” could have been farted out at a Seth Rogen producer meeting
That sounds clean and rad and powerful.
I regret having but one like to give.
