It has the potential to be great, for sure. Could be terrible (the style that blends documentary/real life people and situations with heavy doses of fiction seems to go either way). Charli XCX seems pretty smart and self aware from what I’ve read and heard from her outside of the music itself, and there have been a lot of music video directors who have gone on to create really interesting and sometimes incredible features, so I’m intrigued.

I don't know. I could do with less movies involving people emptying clips of ammunition continuously.
Unless the person emptying those clips of ammunition is Bob Odenkirk with a glorious moustache in an R rated movie then I want it directly in my veins.

That Supergirl trailer especially, it's weird and stupid and there's just nothing to remember or grab anyones interest, but that Spielberg trailer isn't really much better.

Spielberg doing aliens again? Sure, why not. I’ll always give him the benefit of the doubt and I’ll reserve judgement until I actually see it. But that trailer does nothing for me. Feels like this could be a bit of a letdown, especially after the brilliance of his previous film the Fabelmans, which has become one of my favourite movies of his.
Oh there's a lot of regurgitated garbage for sure.
Even the gimmicks aren't what they were.
That Mandalorian movie looks like a glorified side quest episode. Literally nothing there that stuck out or even tugged at our intrigue.
That's why I'm just going to save my hopes for Nolan's Oddysey.
There's still a small handful of filmmakers that have love for the craft and get the budget to work with, but we have to wait a while for their features to come around.
Much of the rest is crap thrown at the wall in attempt to make studios a profit.

Now that you mention it, yeah both landed pretty flat for me. Feels like they are showing a bunch of the movie...but at the same time showing me nothing of the movie? Like more than half the Disclosure Day trailer is people looking befuddled. Cool that's how I feel too. ahah
Like a show something longer than 3-5 seconds. Give me an idea what kind of movie it is.

I would have given Spielberg the benefit of the doubt but the screenplay is by the guy who worked with him on the Lost World and Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull.

I did a write up in the Recommend or Don't a Movie thread:

Mummy (2017)
Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit
War of the Worlds (2005)
This guy goes around ruining movie franchises, and I don't understand how this has been allowed to continue. Maybe when Spielberg decides that he doesn't want a franchise to continue, he gets David Koepp inserted as the lead writer to kill it?
