Proportionally it’s not as big a bomb as Joker 2: Society Harder, but it’s still a terrible performance for a Warner that peaked performance wise with Dune 2.

Creature Commandos is holding strong at #3 on the Max Top 10 and Flop Girl is nowhere in sight.

The Flop Girl getting a marathon is an extremely inauspicious start to the new year. I'm fully expecting Lazarus to come out sooner rather than later now that they revealed the opening theme. I'm also expecting that to be another DeMarco disasterpiece. 2025 is going to be rough, especially since all the good stuff Toonami could theoretically get access to is either behind Max's paywalls or Crunchyroll's. If things were like they were in 2018, we'd have Solo Leveling leading off the block for the new year, not a marathon of the Flop Girl. Hell, at this rate, I'd settle for Harley Quinn and that show has fallen off big time since Season 3 (it's suffering a terminal case of Moonlighting Syndrome).

They haven't fully committed to the spin-off, but the restructuring is signaling an intent to do so, which means that if they do next fiscal year, then Cartoon Network is likely boned.

2025 is going to be a very, VERY interesting year for Toonami and arguably Adult Swim as a whole, especially if Zaslav goes forward with his plan to divest the networks from WarnerMedia.

More negative reviews!

My Christmas party with the dudes at the gym always gets far more emotions out of me than any work party ever could. Admittedly doing it at the Brazilian steakhouse helped.

No sex in this episode, just a lot of good old fashioned ultra-violence. I think DeMarco would be down with a lot of the themes as well.

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/warner-bros-discovery-1236085034/ They are beginning company restructuring that would allow the spin-off to occur.

The initial estimates were for $10-$12 million. It’s now tracking for $5-$6 million opposite a $30 million budget, a pittance by modern Hollywood’s bloated standards, but he may not make a third of that when you add in theater take and marketing.

Box office predictions are showing a bigger bomb than Joker 2. Less than $10 million domestic. For reference, the Demon Slayer recap film pulled down $11.4 million opening weekend. Even a Solo Leveling recap film still pulled $2.4 million domestic over the weekend despite a relatively low amount of theaters (it bested the indie release Y2K to be #8 at the box office). This film might be DeMarco’s last stand. Honestly, I could see him being fired over it as the scapegoat.

DeMarco was completely right that it felt hypocritical for fans of a franchise that does most of its movies by a committee to decry the work of the man who's made cinema like Goodfellas, Raging Bull, Casino, and countless others. But everyone ALSO was right that the guy responsible for bringing us the FLCL sequels and is about to bring us a cash grab Lord of the Rings film isn't the arbiter of good cinema.

The more of this I see the more curious I am about why he didn’t leave the country. He apparently had the means. Was he worried about being picked up at a checkpoint?

Blaming the vidya games for the killing? Yeah, because his alleged chronic back pain had nothing to do with it.

Lazzo was all about "Fuck nostalgia, fuck the past, full speed ahead". It was one of his peccadillos with the block along with "Bring the funny or ELSE."

The Monday game is such a nothingburger Disney has an alternate broadcast with Simpsons characters. Problem is I always think of this -

The Solo Leveling preview movie. DanDaDan 10. Ranma 1/2 10.

I checked to see if Flop Girl may have had a delay on the Max Top 10... Still not there. Yeah, it's cooked.
