Movies of 2026!

So "woke" nonsense and DEI ideals have ruined another superhero franchise.  Great.  Perhaps it's time, in the spirit of exclusivity, we did another slow-paced, painfully-acted British murder mystery featuring an all-Asian cast--only this time around we can put it on the big screen and stream it for a wider audience.

I mean, hey, now, let's go step into the same bag of dog dookey we did forty years ago, right...?  The time seems perfectly ripe for it.

Studio's that created a lot of these film scripts during the DEI/Woke era are having their final movies from this era released.  So hopefully things get better, but I doubt it. We've lost so much talent in Hollywood and the people who mastered the craft are gone.  There is a big loss of that now days.  I think there is opportunity for the new people to make their craft great, but if big movie studios don't take risk, we will never see it.  Right now, I am hoping their reboot era dies along with the woke crud.  It's time for originality.

Hilarious.

Supergirl' suffers catastrophic 73% drop in gets obliterated at box office by patriotic 'Young Washington'

Full Article

James Gunn was supposed to revamp and revitalize DC Studios at Warner Bros. The director of "Guardians of the Galaxy" would, in theory, bring the type of overarching creative vision that Kevin Feige had so successfully demonstrated at Marvel Studios.

But the real test for Gunn's reboot and the power of the DC Studios brand was the follow-up film, "Supergirl," starring Milly Alcock. And boy has it failed the test.

Alcock spent most of the press campaign making herself as unlikeable as possible, insulting potential moviegoers, bizarrely claiming that audiences felt "ownership" of her body, then doubling down after the inevitable backlash. The trailers looked awful, with a predictably sloppy anti-hero feel, atrocious visual effects, and an uninteresting plot and villain.Two movies into Gunn's vision of DC Studios, it's safe to say that this reboot has been an unmitigated failure.

Friday grosses dropped an astonishing 80.4% from opening day on June 26 to just $3.6 million. Saturday estimates are for just $2.6 million, another 77% drop, despite the Independence Day holiday. All told, it's a remarkable 74% drop from the first weekend to the second. Total domestic gross for "Supergirl" now sits at just $58.4 million. On a $275 million production, from a major studio, with a massive marketing campaign, and the creative backing of James Gunn.

Unsurprisingly, "Young Washington" has received middling reviews from critics, but has an exceptional 92% positive audience score. With word of mouth that positive, could "Young Washington," a little-known, barely marketed film with a low budget, outgross "Supergirl" at the domestic box office when all is said and done?

If Hollywood had a shred of intelligence, awareness, and objectivity, it would realize the message they're getting. Nobody wanted a "Supergirl" movie, particularly not the one they made. Women weren't interested, as is typically the case with superhero films, and men were either put off by Alcock's divisive comments, or apathetic after seeing the underwhelming trailers.

Meanwhile, "Young Washington" has been a tremendous success, because outside of the powerful progressive echo chamber in the entertainment industry, there is still an enormous appetite for stories about the United States, its founding, and prominent historical figures.

We already had a Supergirl TV series on the CW ten years ago, and the interpretation of Kara from Adult Swim's My Adventures With Superman cartoon.  I think that market is over-saturated.  Also, no one likes the new Krypto.

Couldn't they make him something a little, y'know, tougher?

I mean, how hard is it to whomp up a CGI pit bull?

DC is a lot  more than Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and Flash, after all.  There's a wealth of characters looking for a project to do.  If I wished I could call upon my vast repository of comic knowledge, pick a hero and a villain at random and have a script together in a week.   Um... Hawkgirl vs. The Key.  There's one right there.
