Moreover, unless I missed it (and it shouldn't be hard to find), I cannot seem to locate the "average critic rating" which tends to provide the nuance and more accurate critical consensus that folks say Rotten Tomatoes lacks.

Fun and very important times talking about the Summer Movie Season and our predictions in the 12th Annual Summer Movie Gamble with @WalrusMoose, @ScottMendelson, and @moviesmarkus for an upcoming @OutNow_Podcast! #DeadpoolVsDespicable
So many elite pundits can’t fathom that young people are protesting not to be cool or fit in but because they are disturbed by images of dead and dismembered Palestinians, because to them, those lives are unworthy and unmournable.
After seven months I am baffled that so-called intellectuals can’t grasp the most basic truth that there are humans around the world live-streaming the most barbaric slaughter of fellow humans and wanting it to stop. That’s it. You can stop writing your op-eds and go home now.
Oh, that might be a winner...
I wrote about why the phalanx of elite opinionists who pretended to be all riled up about the “free speech crisis” on college campuses for years has had nary a critical word to offer about the violent suppression of speech happening right now. This week’s piece (link in bio):
Watched “The Prestige” on the flight home. Still Christopher Nolan’s best film, and maybe the greatest American movie of the twenty-first century to date. It somehow even resonates in the age of AI art, the horror of humanity sacrificed to the maw of industrial progress.
This is virtually the only honest head that has appeared on this topic lately.
Politicians are not idols or heroes. They aren’t meant to be worshipped or put on a pedestal. We elect them and they work for us. We hold them accountable. When I vote, I vote for who I think will be better, while recognizing that all politicians are messy and corrupt. 🤷
Not exactly a controversial opinion, but...

Anyone watch any new horror this weekend?
What will a "normal" summer movie season without a "Barbenheimer" or 'Top Gun'-sized overperforming event look like at the global #boxoffice? I offered optimistic and pessimistic projections for the various "big movies" opening from May through August. (post in comments)

Listen now (or eventually at a time of your convenience)! @PDergarabedian guests on Episode 12 of the Box Office Podcast to discuss CIVIL WAR's solid hold while anchoring a deep dive into what could (potentially) be a grim (at the #boxoffice) 2024 summer movie season.
Global #boxoffice success for #DeadpoolAndWolverine on par with the prior installments is likely, but (like #BlackAdam selling #DwayneJohnson + DC superhero flick) the demos excited for #HughJackman's #Wolverine may overlap with demos psyched for a #Deadpool3 (post in comments)
With #CivilWarMovie playing as the must-see horror film and the must-see action flick of the moment, poor #Abigail and #TheMinistryOfUngentlemanlyWarfare didn't have a prayer. (weekend #boxoffice post 1/2 in comments)
#CivilWarMovie is an unlikely event film (unless it counts as a horror flick, thus negating its feel-bad factors), while #GodzillaXKong is now the second-biggest global grosser of 2024 (behind the other Legendary/WBD flick - #DunePart2) Weekend #BoxOffice post 2/2 in comments)
Two crowd-pleasing and quite enjoyable genre films (#Abigail and #TheMinistryOfUngentlemanlyWarfare stumbled this weekend as, ironically, A24’s feel-bad flick (#CivilWar) remained the must-see movie of the season. (Friday #Boxoffice post in comments)
As (the pretty enjoyable) #ThePeoplesJoker opens in 100 theaters, I discuss how "meta" superhero films/shows like #DeadpoolAndWolverine and #TheBoys became mainstream and what that means for conventional comic book cinema like #Superman or #FantasticFour. (post in comments)
Listen now | The gang discusses @A24's first chart-topping #boxoffice hit and what was most (and least) impressive about what Hollywood plugged at #Cinemacon2024 ...! (post in comments)
For at least one weekend, #CivilWar (which opened with $25.7 million) showed that @A24 could play in the bigger-budget, Imax-friendly tentpole #boxoffice sandbox while mostly staying true to their "indie films for cool kids" reputation. (Post in comments)
While a movie like #CivilWar earning $10.8 million on Friday for a likely over/under $25 million opening weekend might have been normal ten years ago, today it's a borderline #boxoffice miracle and a testament to @A24's worth as a butts-in-seats brand. (Post in comments)
