Captain America 4

Looks like there's going to be a lot of deleted posts soon.

Or people will move onto the next big movie and praise that one. And act like this movie never even existed.

Wake me up when someone who isn’t Caroline Reid tells us that the production budget (alone, not with marketing) was actually double the whole time.

Hey thanks for admitting that you delete your posts in order to argue that you didn't say things like when you did when you originally said that Sonic would make more money than Mufasa. Remember, honest is the best policy.

This is likely true for most actors. Lucas got Liam Neeson, Ewan McGregor and Natalie Portman to all look like acting was a confusing concept they had never encountered.

It’s interesting how much acting ability can change from movie to movie, I thought Portman was horrible in Star Wars, was shocked at how good she was in Black Swan, and then disappointed again by Thor LAT.

Makes me wonder if she phones in the action roles for the paycheck/recognition and does the more dramatic roles for the love of the profession.

Perhaps I am older than you, but I was surprised at Portman’s acting in the prequels… I was excited when I found out she was cast… as I knew she could act since I first saw her in The Professional

It could be the material and the direction. Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are excellent actors but there was virtually nothing they could do with Twilight.

I think the material has a lot to do with it. I am sure it is very different acting in front of a green screen or with puppets or other props rather than acting to a more realistic script where the focus is just on the performers.

I am sure a big paycheck definitely plays a part in why some actors pick certain roles. Michael Caine, who is a great actor, answered a question to why he decided to take the lead role in Jaws 4. He said "I have never seen it, but by all accounts it is terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built, and it is terrific."

Did you think you were adding something worthwhile to the discussion here?

I guess you'll only except shills then.

I don't know how many examples you guys need. You are lucky for this one. Since they didn't film in the U.K, they can hide the numbers. And you'll believe whatever they say for a budget.

But not so much with Snow White and a slew of others. Many of the past ones have already been unveiled.

Dr Strange 2 - 200 million (actual budget - 415 million)
Antman and the Wasp: Quantumania- 200 million (actual budget - 330 million)
The Marvels - 200 million (actual budget - 374 million)

I’ve never excepted shills. They should be included whenever possible.

Yes, those are the three examples I'm referring to. Check the primary source, they are all Caroline Reid...

I'm awaiting one example not from her misrepresentation.

I know I'm the only one who has a vendetta against this author at Forbes. I finally figured out what she is doing (beyond the incompetence piece).

There's massive self-plagerization involved. Her articles are made up of copy-pasting bits and pieces of other past articles. It's why they all read like disconnected incoherent verbal diarrhea.

Must be getting paid by the word. Pops out a new article every day with copy pasted passages. What a journalist.

"disconnected incoherent verbal diarrhea"

Definitely going to write that on the next college research paper I grade.

Well you repeating the same thing over and over and over and over and over is certainly not going to convince us if it didn't the first time. So the question why do you continue to spout the same stuff over and over and over and over if we're not going to believe it?

Also its "accept" not "except", except you probably won't read this.

Simpler to copy/paste than actually do real reporting. Definition of just “phoning” it in for a paycheck.

Thanks, I will. I didn't realize there was a spoiler thread.
