Alita Marketing Failure? Sequel Interview with VFX Team and look at the Blu-Ray Sales Numbers

Alita: Battle Angel was shorted in the theaters vs Capt. Marvel, snubbed at the Oscars and unavailable on Blue-Ray. "When you're taking flak, you're over the target."

I'm looking forward to Eizouken ni wa Te wo Dasu na!


I like the Dragonflyer.


edit:
It looks like Alita:Battle Angel is on HBO.

As I said earlier, Capt, Marvel is garbage. I know this because I can't remember a single thing about it except that one can fall from space and hit the ground and be ok, yet still struggle fighting against things.

Alita was entertaining, but the proletariat vs bourgeoisie theme was played out sometime shortly after motion picture was invented. Never portrayed is that you've got a high functioning but exceedingly tiny subsection of humanity that provides 99% of the advancements in every technology and theory, and the vast majority of us benefit from it, even if we happen to sift through the leftovers.

That's what makes the Alita/Marvel rivalry so sad. At least it's exposed Rotten Tomatoes for an industry shill instead of an independent voice. At least to any anyone that follows Jeremy at The Quartering or Doc Ido.

Rotten Tomatoes comes as advertised; rotten. I've never trusted it as a reliable indicator of film quality. I don't even know how the rating system works, but it seems to be in opposition to everything I consider to be good about a movie.

IMDB movie ratings consistently come within a half-point of what I would rate something, and often even closer than that. Very rarely do I find myself off by as much as a point. About the only time I disagree with ratings is with certain movies that are about nothing and yet beloved. Movies like Brazil, or Taxi Driver.

Wendy's Supports Alita Sequel as Hashtag TRENDS on Twitter

IDK how Hulu relates to HBO, but it's available there. Million of views.

In other news, Birds of Prey has taught us that the 'female gaze' is lethal.

We played The Wall for our kids again on Saturday. They were into it, even more than a few years ago.

Both kids like MST3K, and my 5th grade son is a fan of Army of Darkness and Hudson Hawk.

Movies... and the Oscar goes to...



I see people will use his speach as a political tool... to agree or to attack...

Who would had imagined 100 years ago that milk would be directed related to righ or left wing (democrats/republicans)???

On Brazil some fileds of our press translated or commented just his speech about women, LGBTS and racism, and ignored the veganism.

Ayway he attacked even left wings a bit, when he inderectly complained about reputation murderer, saying it's better bring people to light (embrace/help as he said) instead of just hate them, using his own bad boy (scoundrel) days as example.
