Time to update the photo. He has a beard now. This profile pic looks like it's from 2016
You were doing good until you say, "all time great talent like Ariana"
She has no ass bro
Matilda is a movie I hold dear. I can't bring myself to say anything bad about Mara Wilson
Firstly, I don't know why you take this criticism so intensely. Is it your movie?
The "comedic deconstruction" is a stretch. The "let's play" line wasn't spoken comedically or uttered in a comedic context. What they were trying to do is make Barrera's character appear to be some kind of badass; they wanted the audience to think, "Man, she's fearless against that powerful scary vampire." But the actual effect was cringe
The predictable part was that Barrera and Frank would be the last two standing, in some way. We could predict the others would die before them, leading to something involving Barrera and Frank at the climax ... you mention the scenario with Gustavo Fring, yet his offer was also a bit random and out of nowhere (they could have tried foreshadowing more). It seemed more like they were straining to find a way to turn Frank into a vampire, so they wrote that part in
They definitely tried to make Abigail appear good. See, in particular, the pinky promise gesture: they were trying to make her seem like an innocent child, looking to save the maternal figure Melissa Barrera; yet the audience knows that Abigail is centuries-old vampire who has brutally killed many (and will continue to kill many in the future)
Yeah, the black dude seemed to be killed by a ghost or something. I was thinking the movie was going in the Poltergeist direction instead of Vampires
Melissa Barrera is a fairly well known name from Scream. Her salary might’ve been high
The vampire CGI scenes were probably expensive
I agree. I saw this poster and thought this was some sort of parody/comedy. Quaid is the wrong choice here
To some extent. Again though - The Wreckers made some good music that won acclaim and had some commercial success. But Michelle herself admitted that she had trouble penetrating the country music scene because the country-music community saw her as an early-2000s pop princess who was carpetbagging their genre.
Another big factor is that the album "Hotel Paper," while successful, was still a big drop from "The Spirit Room" (the album with "Everywhere"). Hotel Paper sold about half as much ... The big drop in sales made the label concerned that Michelle Branch was a passing fad. Rumors are that the label wanted to micromanage her next album and even write her songs. She claimed the label asked her to do an EDM album.
She also got married in 2004, aged 21, to a guy was 40 years old. They had a child in 2005. The child forced her to slow down her music for a little bit that year
