Large corporation acquisitions are never about doing something better, they are always about doing it cheaper. Corporate acquisitions are about making more money and always start with cutting costs...and usually end in selling off assets after the acquired property (or the mega-firm itself) have been milked dry.
I really liked The Hunt! Also, people need to get over themselves, be they on the left- and even moreso now- on the right. It's strange that so many people who grew up watching South Park and Chappelle Show seem to get so easily triggered if they find their people in the entertainment crosshairs.
My personal theatergoing experiences have been a little tumultuous because in the past several years my wife and I went from watching movies on a weekly basis before we had children (she was a bartender for a local movie theater so we essentially got free movies to watch as a job perk) to watching very little at all post-children and post-COVID (which happened at the same time). We've only watched four movies in theaters in the past six years. Our kids are still a little young to sit in a movie theater for the whole movie, and their tastes are generally cartoons like Bluey and Mickey Mouse.
That being said, there are a number of movies that look good but the bulk of them don't seem interesting enough to watch in a theater, which is unfortunate because I don't remember it being that way pre-COVID. It could just be that my life and therefore my tastes changed.
Sounds like your life situation right now is not optimal for going out to see a show, unless there's a drive-in theater near by. Over time things change. I find myself going to more live shows / music than I ever have before. That's what feels right for me now. After a while you'll probably find yourself out there again doing what best fits you where you are at that time.
I completely agree. Typically we're burned out at the end of the day from our kids watching their shows so my wife and I prefer to be free of screen time after the kids go to bed.
My husband is going to love you. I am a big "no creative death" kind of a gal, but your watch assignment for The Hunt will probably be added to our options this weekend. I hate scary-ish movies, but you've intrigued me. If I end up having nightmares, I'm going to write a strongly worded letter to The Bulwark. :)
I struggle to find a better example of “talk being cheap” than promising 30 movies from two different studios from a company that will have $79B in debt.
I don’t see how this turns out well for David Ellison. Running one studio was going to be a stretch for him.

It has some moments of gore! Not too many outright scares, though.
