Maybe the worst poster of the year. How far Eggers has fallen… this is going to be so bad. Certainly won’t be as good as Infinite Storm

To no surprise, this film was butchered by the studio.
“I think I’ve delivered the most entertaining version,” he said. “The most entertaining version is not necessarily something I’m usually striving for. But it was here, you know, and it happened.”
Eggers praised New Regency but described the editing process as the most painful experience of his life. “Frankly, I don’t think I will do it again,” he said. “Even if it means, like, not making a film this big ever again. And, by the way, I’d like to make a film this big. I’d like to make one even bigger. But, without control, I don’t know. It’s too hard on my person.”
Yikes…

Everything suddenly seemed to turn for this - this is in my top 5 most anticipated, great cast, great subject matter, great director so far - The VVitch is a horror masterpiece to me....... The Lighthouse was less memorable but made my top 10........this movie had a so-so screening reaction (apparently, last year), a weak trailer (to me, too action heavy), a shitty poster that looked like fan art .......and now this ........
Hoping this is all off base but it's pretty weird lately with this movie.....

annoying for not wanting to have his artistic vision compromised? okay.. No, he's equating "entertaining" with being deficient in artistic merits. Complete hipster bullshit. No Country For Old Men and The Godfather and Pulp Fiction are "very entertaining" and far beyond his student films.

Reactions are overwhelmingly positive so far! I didn’t expect it.

Nicole Kidman (unsurprisingly) once again getting some standout ink in the reactions, despite being a supporting role in a film ostensibly about violent dudes stabbing and beating the shit out of each other. It should be hard for her to stand out in a film like this. Her run since 2016 has been nothing short of astonishing. Depending on if this thing holds up for another 9 months and the reviews stay good, maybe a supporting actress nomination might be a possibility? Either way, she's definitely our greatest working actress, imho. Like, she doesn't ever miss at this point. As big a fan as I am, I've always held back from declaring her the female GOAT (she's obviously one of them though), but she's getting perilously close to that distinction now for me.

I feel like these reactions are just typical of Eggers fanboys in the cinephile realm. I thought The Witch and The Lighthouse both SUCKED big time, absolute student-film pretentious productions with abysmal scripts and great production values, but they got very strong reviews. Is this any different? Is this going to get an A cinemascore or something and gross $350 million? It's like Groundhog Day with these blogger reviewers pumping up shit they have no business gassing up this much, and then acting shocked and appalled at the comedown. Sheesh. Gladiator meets Green Knight? Huh? That's like saying Goodfellas meets Jeanne Dielman. Makes zero sense. Either it's entertaining as all hell like Gladiator, or it's a confounding bore like Lowery's Green Knight and every Eggers movie.

Can't wait. This will be the first 2022 release I see (depending on how you count Nitram).
