I would also include anything that was initially a flop on its original release but then found a following later such as movies like Momento. This still counts as commercial failure for the sake of this question.

    I love me some Michelle Yeoh, but yeah, I’m not really seeing anything that says it has a point to it beyond “Ooh, what if humans were the oppressed minority… How zany!!!” It’s got a real “Fox News telling you that straight white men are gonna get herded into camps” kind of vibe to it.

      Yeah. Guess I should just focus on being hyped for Dune 3 and Denis eventually announcing his pick for Bond.

          Yeah, they announced it earlier this year, not sure if it’s gonna be his next movie or the one after.

            Absolute hype. I didn’t even know a Denis Villenueve Bond movie was something I needed, but fuck it, I’m down. I’ve loved every one of his movies going right back to Enemy, and I know he can do one hell of a tight thriller (Prisoners is about as perfect a crime thriller as I’ve ever seen).

            His upcoming movie I’m most excited about is Rendezvous With Rama, but that is so hyper-specific to my tastes that I’m honestly starting to think Denis making movies for me personally.
