loser: Social account Teaser trailer: One way or another, Zuckerberg is back. Sony Pictures first look Aaron Sorkin‘s Social network The sequel was met with praise Jeremy Strongfilming Mark Zuckerberg – especially nailing the tech giant’s voice. But the hyper-serious trailer (watch it below) has sparked ridicule online and unpleasant, if premature, comparisons with its predecessor.

Opening up to a sort of middle-earth, Mickey MadisonA whistleblower tells the story on Facebook Jeremy Allen WhiteReporter, “I want to make something clear…” and then proceeds to deliver an almost incomprehensible sentence (“IHaveaHuncYourNottaFanofFacebook“) which the Internet was enjoying. The footage includes Strong Zuckerberg turning into a malfunctioning android and concludes with a depressingly white line about Madison’s character, “She’s malfunctioning” — which has to be the biggest trailer groan since Felicity Jones “I’m a rebel,” he declared Rogue one humor. The footage is also strangely filled with camera flash effects as if the film was shot in the 1950s.

wise story, Social account It may be a challenge. It has become hell on social media So What’s much worse since the film is set in 2021 is that worrying about the toxic and addictive algorithm used by your dad’s favorite news feed now seems more alien than stress. Social network He had such a breezy, engaging fleetness, a quality associated with Sorkin’s deft writing. So it’s odd that this sequel — sorry, every studio’s “companion piece” — directed by Sorkin instead of David Fincher, seems so imposing.

winner: Emily Blunt. Every review for Disclosure day – Positive, Negative, Mixed – Agreed: Blunt is terrific in her role as a Kansas City news anchor who suddenly finds herself possessed of unusual powers and is thrust into a conspiracy. The film is also a win for Steven Spielbergwhich seems poised for at least solid success. the worldwide The film is eyeing a $65 million opening and an 82 percent average on Rotten Tomatoes (although many reviews are somewhat tempered in their praise).

For those on the fence, Disclosure day It’s worth watching in theaters because Spielberg directs the hell out of every scene. The 79-year-old director’s warm, subtle, and intelligent fluidity of storytelling remains unparalleled. Just don’t set your expectations too high or compare the third act of the film to, say, Close encounters (Minor spoilers: The mixing of USB drives, clips of UFOs shown on television, and Blunt holding a glow stick is a huge step up from the cinematic dread of the end of 1977’s Devil’s Tower).

loser: Hail Mary project Fans: If you’re waiting for the biggest non-video game adaptation of the year / the biopic about the unaccused pop star that was a box office hit, Amazon MGM Hail Mary project, To come to the broadcast…sit down. the Ryan Gosling The blockbuster is coming exclusively to the streaming service you don’t own — MGM+which makes peacock Look like Netflix.

Delivery time Says a studio insider who gave this reason for not releasing the film on Prime Video: “It’s a horseshoe decision for the streaming and theatrical studio business cycles. Different films in the Amazon MGM-verse go through different greenlight models, for example Hail Mary project It went through full windows including PVOD with MGM+ being the only push…those films that make the move from theatrical to Prime Video are greenlit differently, often have their budgets covered by Prime and are monetized under a different model internally“.

Even Gosling’s molecular biologist and Rocky’s Alien would require months of effort and many scanning boards to understand those sentences. We’re sure it makes perfect sense if you work in the industry, get high, and stare at it long enough. We suspect the greedy company just wants people to pay for another streaming service they don’t want.

winner: John Lithgow. With all of these JK Rowling Comments in media interviews over the past year have been a rocky extension of journalism for HBO Harry Potter star. But on Sunday, the 80-year-old became the oldest man ever to win the Tony Award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Motion Picture. giant – 53 years after his first Tony win. In addition to a fashion designer Queen Jean He made history as the first transgender person to win a Tony Award Cats: Jellicle Ball.

loser: Spencer Pratt: Karen Bass has poor approval ratings. Many Democrats even agreed that Pratt’s complaint about Los Angeles leadership was true (until… Jimmy Kimmel Agreed!) – and many also agreed that Pratt’s solutions were good ideas. Brat won the only debate despite being a political novice. The AI ​​ads supporting Pratt’s campaign were so innovative that they made national headlines. And he He still didn’t even come in second place. Which either shows how impossible it is for any registered Republican to win in Los Angeles, or that – regardless of the circumstances – many refuse to vote for someone they think is just a dumb boat. Pratt appeared to maintain his sense of humor about the loss, breaking his social media silence on Thursday with a tweet: “Are they done counting yet?”

winner: Love Island: The first few days of Love Island Season 8 of USA was the biggest launch of any Peacock original ever (yes, more popular than even… The mini wife). This represents a 74 percent increase over last summer’s season with the exciting Wrangler Serpent. In case you are unfamiliar, Love Island is a dating series where contestants are gradually removed from the villa when fans discover their racist social media posts.
