Same. I'm a big Garland fan but this trailer has me worried.

Wasn’t huge into Men but Garland has an overall good batting average of quality so a little optimistic in that regard. But films based on todays political climate tend to be too on the nose so that does have me worried. I like that the story is being told through a journalist though. Looks like a much bigger budget movie than I expected Garland would get.

Doesn't look like a typical A24 film and probably has a much higher budget. But I'll definitely check it out. That trailer was a bit odd tho... "the Western forces of Texas and California"?? If the U.S ever has a future civil war it'll likely be politically driven. Seems like CA and TX would be on opposite sides no? Either way, just hoping Garland bounces back after Men.

If the US ever had a future civil war, it probably wouldn't even happen with states operating as whole-cloth political entities. Somehow, I don't see the folks of rural California taking up arms in common cause with the people of L.A. and San Francisco.

Really curious how they're going to posit Texas and California being allied given the vaaaaast cultural, political, and social differences there.

The most plausible explanation I’ve read from a source that might know is that it starts with The Prez declaring a third term for whatever reason. So it appears to be trying to not be over the top MAGA vs Libs and base it on something else. Which is admirable but I have very high doubts the end product will be all that interesting or relevant to anything. The message will be some both sides typical Hollywood dreck.

Cali taking all their electoral votes and going home after some Executive fuckery could make sense. Joining with Texas doesn’t because typically a dictatorship has at least some backing by the populous. And those two states joining sides seems to indicate a takeover so unpopular to render the dictatorship mostly toothless.

But I’ll watch the hell out of it. Has to be as entertaining at Bushwick but won’t be as fucking awesome as The First Purge…. Or Purge 3. probably not even 2. But better than 1 and 5.

I pretty much always go sub with anime, but the voice casts for Miyazaki movies are usually pretty A-list. Still, I'd always try to see it in the original language if possible.

absolutely no chance Konami and Kojima play ball on that. Absolute best case scenario is something on the level of Paul WS Anderson's Resident Evil movies.

Speaking of Kojima, I'm predicting that new thing he and Jordan Peele presented last week is gonna be more of a movie than a game, and should be discussed as such if it is

Dubbed, if only cause you don't wanna take your eyes off the animation for even half a second

Was looking forward to Leave the World Behind but was pretty disappointed overall. It had a really interesting premise and some cool parts, especially visually. But it was one of those movies where it seemed like the story from the book didn't translate to film very well. The characters relationships were especially hard to believe and not realistic at all. I actually didn't mind the ending tho which I heard many didn't like.

In the book it’s not a father/daughter duo, it’s an older married couple.

I just love the way movies are being titled these days. First, we had Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, and now we have Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F. If your film title doesn't have a colon in it, what are you even doing?
