Jurassic Park isn’t far behind though.

What about the MCU, or James Bond?

Oh yeah, Bond is definitely a good call, Cold War slop that’s worn out its welcome decades ago.

Especially since the UK isn’t even a global player anymore lol. Surprised the US hasn’t been pushing Jack Ryan to replace Bond

This might already exist but a Chinese Bond ripoff where the US are the bad guys would be banger.

I feel like James Bond would have legs if they got weird with it. Instead of trying to get serious they gave us a new silly art deco bullshit that would be rad

I have not stopped enjoying MCU slop tbh. Though I am hoping Secret Wars leads to some sort of soft reboot. Idk, I’m an easy lay for superheroes, none of the post-Endgame stuff has been less than a 5 or 6 for me, shows included (though I havent seen Secret Invasion, I heard thats genuinly awful no matter your tastes). So as far as I’m concerned they can keep going. Like basically noone else is but I’m genuinely excited for Thunderbolts because I have sincere affection for the characters in it. I love Nebula and hope they tell more stories with her. I love Kingpin. I love my precious baby Kamala Khan. I have no problem if they keep going even if I’m going to be part of an increasingly shrinking audience.

I do, admittedly, think the “cinematic universe” concept should be dropped and we should just do self contained superhero stories. The Infinity Saga is near impossible to top in that sense so like, just do other self contained things. Doesnt need to be franchises.

Bond has the courtesy to wait a few years in between films, at least. That’s why I haven’t ever felt burned out by it - compared to the MCU which has a release every couple of months and feels like it just never ends.

I’m torn on this because I want more good ghostbusters movies but it seems like the OG movies are just a combination of magic that’s gone.

Aliens. Time to take they keys away from Ridley Scott.

Still salty they played favorites and gave him back the franchise over Neill Blomkamp and he went on to make one of the worst Aliens movies ever.

It is so wild to me that the movie about how bugs and sexual violence are bad was changed to how “God didn’t give you enough treats” and " technology is bad"

Ridley Scott’s output in the last couple of decades hasn’t been great in general. I’m glad they at least took the keys to Blade Runner from him.

he went on to make one of the worst Aliens movies ever.

You mean Prometheus or Alien: Covenant? Who am I kidding, it’s both.

I actually tolerated Prometheus but Covenant I was like

Covenant was so much worse than Prometheus. Prometheus still had some scenes where it was like “alright, hell yeah this is wild” but I can’t think of a single memorable thing from Covenant other than David playing flute with himself.

I actually really enjoy these. I’m not sure why no one really likes them.

I do like the space beastie movies generally. Like I like all the Riddick movies.

Chronicles is a guilty pleasure of mine, but I’m perfectly happy to admit I really enjoyed pitch black and riddick.

well he’s only producing the new one, but it’s being written by the dipshits behind Don’t Breathe 2 so it’s probably gonna blow chunks

I love those first two movies (and still enjoy the third one) and I’m getting psychological damage every time they put out a new one.

I’m kinda interested in Alien Romulus because it seems like Ridley Scott is completely uninvolved? Kinda just looks like a horror movie on a space ship? idk I’ll probably be let down again

I remember watching the ghost blownob scene as a child and my father struggling to not explain the joke to me.
