It's kind of hilarious/sad how you can see this checking most of the generic boxes in Bezos' vision of a good TV show/movie:

Pick a tv show you consider fantastic and see how many of Jef Bezos' criteria it's missing.

The Wire:
No heroic protagonist, no wish fulfilment, no diverse worldbuilding, no cliffhangers as a rule, no civilizational high stakes, and very few positive emotions.
Bezos certified conclusion: The wire is trash

This article states Jason Statham and Dwayne Johnson demanded to not to be shown losing a fight to each other, which might well be true. Your earlier claim was that they weren't willing to lose fights at all, which is contradicted by the relevant movie (Hobbs & Shaw), where they both lose fights against Idris Elba's character.

I'm guessing you were just being imprecise, which is not some huge deal, but I think that's what LesterGroans was responding to.

I also don't know if it's to do with the ego of these men, or if they both just have managers that go 'ok my client has established a clear pattern of being the strongest alpha male on screen and thus it is in his interest that he can never lose a fight. Also the number of punches and kicks he lands on male stars is the movie can never be of a lesser amount than they land on him.'

Wasn’t there something similar going on in Escape Plan? I never saw the movie but I remember some discussion on We Hate Movies that the movie apparently goes really out of its way to never imply that Arnold and Sly ever “win” against the other even though they are on the same side.

I'm more inclined to believe this one. There's a story that Arnold Schwarzenegger once read a script that was so terrible he decided he'd pretend to be interested in doing it, just to bait Stallone into trying to get the role before him.

And that is why we have Stop or my mom will shoot.

I didn’t know Halle Berry was this desperate for work.

She's an aging actress who hasn't really had commercial succes for a long time, I don't think she can just pick whatever project she wants (sadly).

And the director definitely got it even worse than Berry since he never directed again (though hilariously, he was slated to direct that weird Chinese mermaid movie but ended up quitting)

Everyone should read the wikipedia article about this movie, it's wild.

Looks pretty fun, I applaud their conviction of making it entirely in French. I genuinely think Netflix (and streaming in general) is leading to non-english language movies becoming more mainstream and I'm super happy about it.

Least surprising director name reveal ever. Not in a bad way, I just went "ah yes, obviously." I should watch his previous movie when I get the chance.

The girl that plays Kamala Khan makes me smile at least, everything else I'm just sort of sick of at this point.
EDIT: obviously not sick of Intergalactic.

Humans will eventually go extinct and this film will somehow be the one remaining piece of evidence of our existence that aliens will chance upon.

This feels like they gave a Pacific Rim budget to the Atlantic Rim people. Looks fun.

Yeah I don't know it things were lost in translation or what but 3BP was a slog to get through. And had some really hacky writing moments. I haven't even started the sequels because of how hard it was to get through... But I really did enjoy some of the swing for the fences sci-fi concepts. I am eager to see them onscreen and this is definitely something I think will actually benefit from being distilled down.

Someone on reddit commented that the original text is worse, according to them the translator toned down some of the worst imaginary waifu bits. The author apparently really likes to emphasize how 'youthful' or even 'childlike' his female characters look.

Amy Winehouse had a very peculiar singing voice that I'm sure is very hard to replicate, but this sounds like career suicide.

EDIT: also I liked Jojo Rabbit.
