The modern movie experience in a nutshell: Studio reboots/remakes/adapts a popular IP for 'today's audience' marketing it on nostalgia, and completely changes the fundamentals that fans actually want, while enticing few new fans either. Then access media attacks the fandom for being toxic. Fandom attacks itself.

Sure, but plenty of films that didn't do well in theaters end up becoming classics, or get a new audience or lease on life later on. Katherine Hepburn was considered box office poison for awhile, but she turned it around

this is what separate Grace from other critics channels, she really likes to insight the business. and we love it.

This is now my favorite take on the year's films. "Art is subjective, business is not." What a great statement

my issue w the animation take is that pixar also had turning red this year, a movie that’s definitely getting oscar nominations and, in my opinion, was able to break out of the pixar mold while still being entertaining and fun. i understand that it was a disney plus exclusive and we’ll never know how it would have done in a theatrical release, but it topped the nielsen chart when it premiered and held near the top for a while. pixar will be fine imo

Though I concur that Waldron wasn't fit for the job and in BTS said he came up with pages of material on the fly.. so yeah. DS2 was doomed.. but it had good moments.. ShangChi was a good movie if just taken for the family drama. The problem with the MCU is that they finished what was built up since Phase1, culminating in Endgame. And Phase 4 is now that awkward moment where they still have to deal with the consequences of Endgame while just starting the build-up of a new arc culminating in another Endgame-level movie. People are expecting Endgame level productions, but are getting Thor the DarkWorld and IronMan3's in terms of quality (when what we actually want is another CA:WinterSoldier).

A lot of these films had bad marketing. I couldn’t tell you what Amsterdam Babylon or strange world we’re about based on their trailers.

Hollywood really needs to understand. Most of us work long hours, we just want to be able to switch off and have fun watching a movie. We are there for escapism, not to be lectured and messaged at. I for one, regardless of what side the messaging is on, don't go to see a to a movie where I think I'm going to be lectured, end of story.

Grace, thank you for posting vids around the holidays! You’re so good to us, and it is very appreciated. I love this idea too - not that I want to see careers burn, but it is interesting how you can seemingly be on top of the world only to have one misstep turn your fortunes around. I hope you continue w/it, maybe not as career killers but career missteps in the future (so it’s not like we’re hoping for it just to have a vid at year’s end). Here though, you struck the perfect tone: excited by the business aspect w/o relishing in the misfortune of others (and you seemed spot-on to me). Great job! Loved it!

Everyone I talk to about Cavill insists that he got screwed by WB instead of the other way around, and I just can't understand it. I think the proof is in quitting The Witcher, which was his show and he dumped it like it was garbage. I'm so glad to have your insight into all of this to see so much more of what's going on. Keep up the great work and happy new year!

This was a really fun and funny video Grace. You always manage to spill the tea in a fun and lighthearted way.

I don't think the general film going audience even knew about JK Rowling's Twittering, let alone care about it, for it to actually affect the FB box office. JK is just not a screenwriter, and needs someone to do that part and work with her.

Love the direction you went with this list. I always think "worst of lists" are kinda meaningless because didnt watch or play, in the case of video games, anyway. Most disappointing or career killing as you put it is a better direction since people actually consumed these properties anyway.

Grace, this year i started most of my mornings with your videos, I always enjoy your work and im glad to be a part of this community. Happy new year to you and your family.

sadly, dwayne has probably killed any possibility of his becoming part of any superhero franchise. he has the physique, but his ego now has him force the character to his mold rather than him being the kind of actor who will embody the character. arnold is still the king.

The reviews are nice and I watch most. The spoiler reviews I usually have no interest in ever. But where Grace truly shines is the Hollywood business stuff… I absolutely eat this stuff up. It’s like Game of Thrones in real life and while most critics only focus on the movies, Grace has cornered a market I don’t think many other critics even know is there. As far as KZreadrs, there isn’t anyone like Grace when it comes to covering the juicy behind the scenes drama.

I think Animation rarely kills careers because the actors face is never in the actual movie so people will forget pretty quickly. Members of the general public rarely care about who is voicing who that's mostly for fandoms. Many actors have starred in animated movies that have been badly received and rebounded later with live action work so Chris Evans will be okay if he does good movies going forward.

Brilliant video Grace, it really does show that Hollywood talent in particular need to really think through all of their decisions and not think that they're untouchable. Reliving all of the "Don't Worry Darling" car crash was epic! 🤣

This is the most entertaining “worst films” videos this week. Really great analysis. Hits all the points of what we are thinking. Those are really bad movies and big disappointments both in front and behind the scenes. Although I have to say, on this list, it seems like the behind the scenes talents (the directors and screenwriters) are mainly responsible for the failures and not the actors. No one saids Margot Robbie was a bad actress from both films. It was the legendary directors who somehow lost the touch or misfire. Chris Hemsworth is giving his all as Thor, but Tika Watiti’s ego got the best of him…

The Rock's Black Adam lesson: a new hierarchy will only come if you bring in the money. 😂

It's so odd that Taika Waititi could make one of the best and one of the worst entry in a franchise as big as MCU. Any other person with a feat like that (that I can think of) is Justin Lin with Fast Five and F9.

I'm really sad about Babylon, yeah it looked stupid in the trailers but I went to see it and I actually loved the movie. It reminded me of Scorsese's Casino

I really think people are behaving a bit overly dramatic about Disney and Pixar’s animation studios.. the reality is both studios released INCREDIBLE movies within the last year (Encanto and Turning Red) and animation takes such a long time to produce that the upcoming projects, Elemental and Wish are too far in production to be drastically altered. Additionally I think it’s important to look back on Disneys history and see how it is mirrored in Pixar and even dreamworks! These studios go through major shifts from golden ages, to dark ages, to experimental ages.. I think Pixar is experimenting rn and to act like they need to “go back to the formula” misses the reason that Pixar was so successful in its first decade of life. They didn’t have a formula until Disney bought them.. and that’s when Pixar’s quality first dipped. So point being, yeah Lightyear and Strange World were definitely not good films but to behave as if they are “major blows” to the animation studios is a huge over exaggeration. (Also don’t forget both studios are expanding to accommodate Disney+ needs.. we have Win or Lose, Iwájú, Tiana, and a Moana series all set for release in the next 2 years!)
