Cinema Issues: The Cowardice Of The Odyssey
As many of you may know the new Christopher Nolan film is mere days away from release, yet unlike other Nolan offerings this one is wrapped up in controversy. Whether that is the vandalisation of greek mythology, casting a woman to play a man’s role (Ellen Page), the race swap of Helen of Troy, or possibly having Lupita N’yongo Karensplain female perspective to Homer thousands of years later. The…
Cinema Issues: The Demonisation Of The Nuclear Family
When leaving Olivia Wilde’s latest film the Invite a thought occurred, why is it we have so many films showing the death of love or of families but so few these days showing love and happiness. Could it be the idea that a lot of people in Hollywood are unhappy in their relationships and so reflect that on the big screen perhaps. However, there is also an underlying cynicism that suggests that…
Cinema Issues: Trouble In The DCU
So with Supergirl crashing out in almost comical style at the box office, what’s next for DC. In the immediate term what’s next is a Green Lanterns show that is so embarrassed of its source material it won’t even call itself Green Lanterns and Clayface a film no one was asking for. However in terms of what’s next as a broader more heady topic the idea is likely a movie back towards the hardcore…
Cinema Issues: Gender, Sexuality and Modern Pixar
For anyone watching Toy Story 5 it becomes clear from the off that there is something insidious under the surface. This is the entire subversion of gender roles. Now this has been explained away by staff as “how little girls play” however this was clearly a deliberate creative choice. Kenna Harris even admitted there were other versions of the play sequences yet they went with the ones they…
Cinema Issues: Cancelling A Show After One Season
Today we are doing something a bit different and doing a bit of a PSA. So if like us you’re getting tired of seeing posts whining about various shows canceled after one season, wherein the poster didn’t understand why it has happened, the idea here is to explain to them once and for all, so they stop being tedious. 1- It is all about ratings, no not critical scores, viewing figures/ratings. It…
Cinema Issues: Audiences Inability To Wait
The other day there was supposed footage from Avengers Doomsday doing the rounds, supposedly leaked. It was in incredibly bad quality and was quite hard to watch. Looking at the view count clearly a lot of people had looked at it. However, this is a symptom of a wider problem. People used to be able to wait for things to wait for a trailer, to wait for the film to come out, yet now people are…
Cinema Issues: Hopefully The Last Death Of Doctor Who
Making it cheaper, won’t fix the fact no one is watching. This week against the cries of us being stupid and wrong, we were proven right in our assessment of Doctor Who. It wasn’t in fact a stunning and brave success story with better ratings than ever before, and Disney leaving with their money mattered. Who knew, we did, but the Doctor Who fans wouldn’t accept it. Turns out telling your main…
Cinema Issues: The Future of Star Wars
Lets reflect, the Mandalorian and Grogu has flopped and been upstaged by two indie horror films. The sequel trilogy is reviled and was diminishing returns. Solo flopped and most of the Disney + shows have been cancelled after one season. It is pretty safe to say Star Wars isn’t in a healthy way. The issue as far as we see it is that new audiences don’t care about Star Wars, attempts to broaden…
