I gave up on Hollywood years ago. Even the original movies are mostly meh and you have to watch a lot of them to find anything interesting. And the good ones are rarely marketed to you really have to look for them.
I’m hoping that the success of the original movies this year will lead to more.
Also, crazy how people have already forgotten about Sinners. That’s how great this year has been.
Ummm, isn’t Bugonia a remake of a Korean movie? Definitely not original.
It only counts as a remake if it’s a white movie. /s
Oi vey.
Meanwhile at Warners: “HBO needs more doctor/lawyer/cop shows. Oh and let’s rehash Harry Potter while we’re at it.”

The existence of massive or unoriginal franchises doesn’t mean he’s wrong.
And at Disney: “Let’s recycle our cartoon hits into live action. Then make them a musical. Then make them a musical cartoon.”
Sadly, that rehashed slop makes WAY more money than original films.
One Battle After Another was great
Saw it in the cinema, it was really good.
Was fun to see DiCaprio in a slightly different role than he usually plays.
