Madame Web (2024 - SSU)

Feels like groundhog day coming to this forum. The same 3-4 people coming to cry about le wokes ruining a film about a superhero they first heard about 3 days ago.

Take a day off, this **** is exhausting to read in every single thread.

Has anyone mentioned anything about ‘woke’ in this thread? Everyone has said it looks ****, which by all accounts it is.
 
Anyone know what the budget for this was, can’t be that much?

Did laugh the other day when somebody pointed out the cancelled Bat Girl film was the 3rd most “profitable” super hero film last year.

You’d be surprised if it was more than $40m - $50m.

Edit - some places saying $80m. :eek:

Just to be very clear, YOU are the first person to even mention "woke" in this thread, after 100 posts from a wide range of people where it was never mentioned. Think about that for a while, who is really "crying about woke" because so far its only been you mention it?

Sony cbm's tend to be a lot cheaper than the marvel ones, think venom 2 was the most expensive one at around 110 million

Half the last page is the usual suspects (YOU) arguing about pandering to the fEmAlE aUdIeNcE as if it's not a case of Sony being complete turd than because it's a woman centric film. Women want good films (See Barbie), not this PoS.

In fairness, there definitely is a difference (on paper) between saying ‘boooo it’s woke boooo’ and ‘this film has failed because it panders to women’.

… but it’s also very fair to say that the distinction starts to erode when the latter is peppered by statements of glee that it has failed because of pandering.

^^^When that happens, the esteemed professors on the subject may try and maintain there is an academic distinction, but for the laypersons reading (like me) it does comes across as the same subject tbh. So I’m not surprised by @Moothead2’s comments, even if it is just a post or two that pushes the tone of the criticism in that direction.

The film is clearly a howler, no doubts there. But in addition to what I’ve said above, the ongoing ‘strong BAFEM-look’ of the sub-forum isn’t being helped in this thread by:

(i) slightly over-zealous denials of ‘anti-wokism’ (which ignore the aforementioned taking glee in ‘pander-flops’);

(ii) inferences that the film should be more targeted at men (and would be better if it was);

(iii) the other posts in the thread which have whiffs of ‘wheeey get dem **** out for the lads’ :o


Oh - ‘BAFEM’ is a new acronym I’ve coined to capture the zeitgeist: ‘brittle as **** entitled male’.

… I’m being playful of course, knowing that we are all mad-lads here and that everyone can take my bantz on the chin :p

Still showing for 3 weeks at least :p
Still to open in China on March 1st and South Korea on March 13th

I've been checking for cinemas to book Dune 2 tickets for. Completely missed the boat because everything centre / back of the screening is fully booked. Across 3 cinemas in Edinburgh, over multiple viewing times the only seats available are bottom row on the far left or right side xD

Anyway long winded point to make but both the Vue Cinema and Cineworld are ending their run of showing Madame Web this Thursday. Pretty much all of their screens are being used for Dune 2.

Cineworld dont add their full listings for Friday onwards until tonight so how you know? Seems unlikely to me.
