[ELI-kk]

My ranking has some catch up movies
10: a family affair:a generic rom com with leads that have absolutely no chemistry
9: Despicable me 4: there's still fun to be had here this franchise is played out so this movie doesn't really have anything new to offer and the jokes don't hit for the most part
8: My spy the eternal city: call me crazy but I have guilty pleasure fun with this franchise dave Bautista is great and it has some fun humor its pretty tonally inconsistent though
7: Maxxxine: a fun slasher with some gnarly kills and a great tone and vibe
6: Beverly hills cop Axel f: a fun buddy cop movie while not feeling completely necessary and we didn't get enough of the trio together
I like to love everything from here on out
5: Longlegs: possibly my favorite horror movie of the year I'm glad I checked this out in the theater its a great serial killer movie with a wild Nicholas cage performance
4: Twisters: a movie where a tornado destroys things and stars glenn Powell need I say more
3: Kill: a wild fun Indian movie with some absolutely brutal violence I'm glad I was able to check this out that title drop was so hype
2: Thelma: a fun comedy with some great performances and a message about getting older
1: Deadpool and wolverine: a fun fan service movie with great action acting cameos and it has plenty of heart
Sean you should watch Thelma it is great

Twisters is also my favorite movie of the month and also my 2nd favorite of the year after Dune 2.

Deadpool and wolverine number 1 by farrr

[DecAllTimeAlways]

Not a fan of NSYNC. Only liked two songs from them: “Drive Myself Crazy” and their Christopher Cross’ cover to “Sailing”. I have the same amount of songs I like from them as Backstreet Boys: “As Long As You Love Me” and “I Want It That Way”. I was in my late teens when the pop boy band era became mainstream again. When reality TV shows and TRL ruined MTV.

I don’t really have nostalgia for pop music from 1997 and throughout this 21st century. I smiled more when I heard “The Power of Love” and “The Lady in Red”, 80s songs. I’m not a fan of “Bye Bye Bye” and I’m still not. But I can understand the resurgence to that silly song thanks to the Deadpool 3 intro.

They used the right songs for most of their scenes. When we hear Avril’s “I’m With You”, it was perfect because that song came out in 2002 and we were ready to see characters like Blade and Elektra which had movies released around that timeframe (1998-2005). They used an early 2000s song to pay tribute to forgotten Marvel heroes prior to MCU.

Elektra came out in January 2005. I bet most YouTube reactors have never seen that movie when it came out which is why when we see Jennifer Garner, she wasn’t a big deal to some viewers. And a new generation born in the 2000s and 2010s are swallowing this all up. I see cameo rankings and Zoomers are putting Evans or Cavill as their No. 1 cameo because they’re familiar with them and not someone like Wesley Snipes. I believe the best cameo comes from Channing Tatum after seeing D&W thrice. Gambit fans around the world should rejoice!

It’s an interesting generational divide we have similar to 60s, 70s, and 80s babies loving Star Wars OG Trilogy while 90s babies and later prefer the Prequels or The Clone Wars animated series. The Flash flopped after bringing back Keaton as Batman but this one succeeds because this generation loves Deadpool or maybe grew up on Hugh Jackman as Logan.

“Like A Prayer” is a great Madonna song but it’s nowhere near my favorite. The music video was very controversial when it came out. One of my aunts disliked that song. Maybe because she’s a conservative and she didn’t understand Madonna being Madonna (wild, crazy, and loose) having a song praying to God.

*My* *Favorite* *Madonna* *Songs*
1. Live to Tell
2. Cherish
3. Crazy over You
4. Into the Groove
5. Open Your Heart
6. I’ll Remember
7. Like a Prayer
8. Borderline
9. Material Girl
10. Beautiful Stranger
11. Ray of Light
12. La Isla Bonita
13. Holiday
14. Papa Don’t Preach
15. Music

^ Extended it to a top 15. I used to have about 20 Madonna songs like I had for The Beatles and Michael Jackson but cut it down to only 9. I was just listening to “La Isla Bonita” yesterday and forgot how much I love that song. Never cared for “Lucky Star”, one of her earlier hits. “La Isla Bonita” has the highest views for any Madonna music video on YouTube. I bet popular to Spanish speaking countries.

I love the comments from people saying they love watching Disney fail. But then turn around and praise Deadpool & Wolverine, a Disney product. Ryan Reynolds is a self-proclaimed LIBERAL. 🤣 George Lucas is a liberal but The Fandom Menace misses him. Bash The Acoshite but turn another Disney product into the highest grossing movie of the year.

Will happen again for Avengers: Doomsday no matter how much whining to Marvel for choosing RDJ to portray Doom. Let’s say RDJ makes $150M and the Russos gets $80M. That’s only $230M. That’s a small price to pay when I expect Doomsday and Secret Wars to make a combined $5B and no lower than $4B.

So let’s say RDJ makes $75M for each of the two movies and the Russos makes $40M. That’s $115M on three people. Then add production costs with VFX and stuff. I can imagine Doomsday and Secret Wars reaching $500M each. For reference, Infinity War costed $316M-$325B and made $2B. Endgame costed $356M and made $2.798B.

Avengers 3 & 4 combined to make $4.8B but if you add marketing, they’re about $500M each. Shockingly enough, Age of Ultron remains the most expensive movie that Marvel has ever made. To pay $1B for two Avengers movies for 2026 and 2027 and to nearly quintuple them in profits is a risk I would always take. Pay $1B to make a $4B profit. To quote Firecracker: It’s just math!

Most Anticipated
1. Avengers: Doomsday
2. Avengers: Secret Wars
3. Avengers vs. X-Men (by the 2030s)
4. The rest of House of the Dragon
5. Andor Season 2 (final season)
6. The Boys’ final season
7. The Batman 2
8. Heir to the Empire Trilogy
9. Dawn of the Jedi
10. Ahsoka S2 (if Abeloth is included)

Honorable mentions
Stranger Things’ final season
Cobra Kai’s final 10 episodes (Part 2 & 3)
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (2025)

Doomsday (Infinity Wars, bad guy wins)
Secret Wars (Endgame, good guys wins)

Doomsday > Secret Wars

Secret Wars is just another retcon/deus ex machina movie so Disney can produce more superhero movies long after we’re dead. I want a Dark Avengers movie even before an Avengers vs. X-Men movie.

Twisters is the movie where you don't only see or hear it, you feel it

[SirYello]

Sean, when was the last time you’ve seen Deadpool 2?
I found that I gained more of an appreciation of it on a rewatch earlier this year.

[Trill_Tour]

Longlegs #1. The details you catch on rewatch is insane

[ilhantele]

Twister and #1 is crazy. Deadpool and wolverine shouldve easily been 1st

[RoddyRodbb]

This many movies really came out this month!?!

[MichaelTomsyck]

7. Despicable Me 4-Despite being pretty harmless family entertainment, it’s a rather forgettable edition to the franchise that’s built around little gags and bits instead of telling an engaging narrative
6. MaXXXine-An enjoyable, but disappointing closeout to this trilogy with very good performances from Mia Goth, Kevin Bacon, and Elizabeth Debicki, a predictable central plotline, and Ti West’s vibrant direction
5. Fly Me to the Moon-Even if it’s not the most memorable movie of this month, it’s still a pretty good blend of romance, the moon landing, comedy, and NASA history with Scarlet Johanson and Channing Tatum being as charming as ever
4. Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F-A solid, enjoyable return for the Beverly Hills Cop franchise that doesn’t do anything particularly fantastic, but instead, hits some nice nostalgia buttons in ways that don’t feel cheap or gimmicky
3. Deadpool & Wolverine-While the actual story here isn’t great in more ways than one, the interactions between Reynolds’ Deadpool and Jackman’s Wolverine, crowd pleasing appearances from characters, and the signature Deadpool ultraviolence and irreverence more than makes up for that
2. Longlegs-A rock solid horror film that wears its influences of Seven and The Silence of the Lambs on its sleeve, but is also able to have its own unique approach to the genre to make for something refreshing in the serial killer subgenre of horror
1. Twisters-As someone who gets quite a bit of mileage out of disaster movies, I found this one to be a thoroughly enjoyable time at the movies with plenty of thrills, likable characters, and enough emotion to ground the spectacle and big personalities of the film
