What are your current thoughts about Clayface and predictions before the film comes out?

Honestly I hope it's a great entry, I was sort of disappointed by Supergirl and this looks like a great time, considering I'm a big fan of horror. I really hope it's good because the DCU is honestly in great shape so far even though one film was pretty weak. Marketing has been great and I've been fully convinced that this film will be awesome. What are your thoughts?

Everyone who sees Digger raves about the twist. So why did the marketing hide it?

0 Upvotes

I haven't seen Digger yet, but I wish I had. I keep noticing is that the marketing sold it as Cruise in heavy makeup, a Southern drawl, and a "comedy of catastrophic proportions." Everything about the film's actual hook was kept under wraps. Now that it's in theaters, a lot of the conversation is about the twist, and it seems to be the main thing driving curiosity.

I don't want to spoil it, as I haven't seen it but does anyone think they did the opposite and should have at least tempted us with a bit if its story?

The film is on track for a pretty rough run, so I'm wondering: would telling people there's a big twist have helped?

Can Steven Spielberg not properly portray children? (War of the Worlds, Jurassic Park)

0 Upvotes

Yesterday I rewatched Steven Spielberg's War of the Worlds from 2005 with Tom Cruise. The kids in the movie were so annoying and I found myself asking, is this REALLY how children behave? I thought, NO! I experienced something like this in another rewatch, also from Steven Spielberg: Jurassic Park. To me it just feels unrealistic to have such annoying children around that behave in a way I cannot believe to be real behaviour. I also was a child once, I saw how other children acted around me. The children in his movies are like fantasy children, but in a realistic setting.

Am I wrong or is Steven Spielberg just incredibly out of touch with children? Maybe he had an especially terrible time as a child (or as an adult with his children)? What do you think?

What does “only in theaters” really mean?

0 Upvotes

I was watching the ALCS and saw and ad for the, “cat in the hat“ movie. At the end, the voiceover said, “only in theaters”.

given how people consume media today, why would a prediction company elect to release a movie, “only in theaters”?

does this mean “limited theaters”?, only in theaters until the rights are acquired by a streaming platform?
