The best move Obsession can do after it makes it's eventual fade from theaters is to not go immediately to streaming. Let it take a breather for a month or two and then hit streaming with a grand entrance.

The only thing I don't like about Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is the lore train. Every little bit of Indy's identity is discovered on this thing. Nonetheless a fun scene. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) | Steven Spielberg

Tango & Cash rules so hard because it starts as a semi-grounded buddy cop comedy thriller, but then the 3rd act throws all that out because they realize there's only a half an hour left to blow up as much shit as possible. Tango & Cash (1989) | Andrey Konchalovskiy

All of your Star Wars sequels hate and Jar Jar Abrams jokes did this to Gracie. Ya feel good about yourself, chuds?

A tragic clash of oath and honor. But the real tragedy here is this scene is where Ed Harris finally ends Michael Biehn's career as a Navy SEAL once and for all. The Rock (1996) | Michael Bay

Poster, covers, and marketing art has fallen so sharp at this point you can barely call it art

“How many employees do you manage?”

Whoa Dwayne Johnson wanted an Oscar nomination for "The Smashing Machine"? What a shocking revelation. It was about a subtle as a sledgehammer to the fucking face.

There's an art director out there right now trying to figure out how they owed a cut of Inde Navarrette's super chats

Steven Spielberg's War of the Worlds is an interesting commentary on a post-9/11 world where the terror within exploits the myth of safety. Even Tom Cruise can't save us from aliens when he can barely keep his own family safe. War of the Worlds (2005) | Steven Speilberg

Backrooms was alright. Chiwetel Ejiofor turns in another good performance (I honestly can't think of a bad Chiwetel Ejiofor performance off the top of my head). Kane Parsons has the chops to direct features. Looking forward to what he cooks up in the future. The problem with Backrooms is it trades the abstract for world-building and tries to define the indefinable. The more it expands and justifies the existence of the backrooms, the more the movie shrinks.

Without seeing Masters of the Universe, this shows how insane these mega budgets have become. It's absurd Amazon MGM spent $200m on an reboot of a failing or forgotten about IP. This isn’t a movie where kids drag their parents to the theater, it’s a hostage situation in reverse. The kids don't care about the brand, they're trying to sneak into Obsession or Backrooms. They have no interest in sitting in the dark watching their father, his hairline retreating by the month, drown in a puddle of cheap nostalgia. It should have be a $60-$100m piece aiming simply to hook a new generation and make them want to buy the toys. Instead, they took the main character and dropped him into a corporate, HR-office nightmare. That kind of drab, bureaucratic exhaustion will make a kid run the other direction faster than they’d chase an ice cream truck on a hot summer afternoon.
