Re: Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga
CGI is inevitable, and they'll add more virtual set and deepfake in future films as well.
The movies have to look expensive in order to get people to pay.

Re: How do you categorize genres and sort movies within them?
I usually sort by title, and then add categories in the list. From there, the list can also be resorted by category, etc.

By "hate," I mean something you don't like to watch.
Also, Godfather is an entertaining view of the Mafia. In contrast, try Donnie Brasco.

Re: Dune: Part Two 2023 (Denis Villeneuve)
I think given the material it would have been better as a TV mini-series, but there was already one made, and it was OK.

I think one reason why many blockbuster movies are longer is because they need to justify high ticket prices. And with the length comes lots of CGI spectacle.

Re: Disney CEO Pushes Back Against Idea Of Superhero Fatigue
They have no choice given high ticket prices, international markets, and high production and marketing costs. That is, make more long spectacles with fantasy elements.

Re: Napoleon 2023 (Ridley Scott)
There's something wrong with the story, transition from scene to scene, and characterization of Napoleon. I think one flaw involved attempting to cram his whole story into one film.

Re: Star Trek...A Journey with TOS, TNG, DSN, VOY, ENT
I think there's not much new content that can be added to the franchise unless its context is merely used as a skin to create regular drama, political intrigue, etc.
