Denis Villeneuve Thought Blade Runner 2049 Could’ve Ended His Career Warner Bros. Pictures By Max Evry/Oct. 7, 2021 2:31 pm EST The word behind the scenes even while Denis Villeneuve was making the 2017 sequel “Blade Runner 2049” was that Warner Bros. Pictures knew they didn’t have a blockbuster on their hands, but were putting a lot of muscle behind the project because they believed in him as a filmmaker. In other words, every once in a while a studio will deliberately set a pile of money on fire and then stand next to a working fire hose without ever turning it on because they want to foster talent they feel will eventually bring in boatloads of money and/or awards....

And if the word of mouth explodes on this flick, it might be hailed commercially as the new American Pie (whatever that means) right in time for total economic collapse....

Star Trek: Enterprise Ending Explained: Those Were The Voyages… ViacomCBS By Witney Seibold/Nov. 26, 2021 4:44 pm EST “Star Trek: Enterprise” — originally just called “Enterprise,” – was once considered by many Trekkies to be the black sheep of the pre-Abrams era.

The first trailers, while cute, made it look like a run-of-the-mill kids’ film. However, “Paddington” and its sequel, the aptly titled “Paddington 2,” are two of the best-reviewed movies ever....
