My opinions on these, take or leave them

Send Help looks interesting, but I'm biased because I absolutely adore Rachel McAdams in everything she's done. (Okay fine True Detective season 2 was......)

Project Hail Mary I'm so pissed at their marketing team for ruining the big spoiler after reading the book. Those fucking morons said "We don't think it'll effect people who haven't read it." I was talking with my wife who also read it, for those who haven't read the book, the spoiler is so bad that it's like revealing that Gandalf comes back in Two Towers. It completely ruins the entire tone of the first half of the story. I... I just can't even comprehend how stupid of a decision it was to just spoil the entire goddamn story in a 3 minute trailer. Seriously why go see it even?! You know the entire story already! There's literally no point! Guh I'm pissed about that. Get 3 marketers in a room and they'll be able to ruin anything they touch.

Devil wears Prada 2 may be good, but I'm also disappointed in Anne Hathaway getting that new Instagram-style plastic surgery. IMO it just ruined what made her charming and unique, and it sours me on seeing the sequel.

Coyote vs. Acme: I'll watch, but I'm not sure how I want to support WB after they screwed with it so much.

The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping: Seems like something great to watch on a plane.

Dune: Part Three: The only item on the list I'm legit a bit hyped for, and it's because we have 2 solid installments that proved the quality.

Pretty sure the author also agreed to it

kind of

Tap for spoiler“It's really more a marketing decision by Amazon MGM, but the idea was no one's going to walk into that theater and not know about Rocky,” Weir said. “This is not a Darth Vader is Luke's father kind of situation. This is a core, central element of the plot that everybody's going to be talking about and that everybody who's read the book already knows about.”

Personally, I get a tone of Amazon MGM did more telling than discussing with him. On top of that I do think the reveal is on par with Vader, or Gandalf, because it does change the rest of the story from that point onward.

But don't you think they need something to market it? Just putting Ryan Gosling in a ship probably won't pull any numbers like we already saw before. I loved the book, so idc about the spoilers that much. I just want to enjoy it with my eyes considering the cast and crew lineup looking insane.

The whole solar system destroying weird thing seems pretty interesting and got me to read the book.
