I figured how this one was going to end. Because who honestly gives a fuck about Maze Runner?

No reference at all to how that idiot from collider chimped out. I guess not mentioning it can burn more than mentioning it

Mike's commentary about how films are doomed really hit home for me.

I've read comments from a few people wishing that they'd review some animated family films and I find that an odd request. Are there not enough guys in their late thirties talking about cartoons on the internet?

I read it more as theaters are doomed than films as a medium. Weren't they suggesting that nowadays anything remotely challenging or artistic is released exclusively on streaming services, so all you'll be able to see at the local cineplex are big dumb action movies and cartoons for babies?

Ghostbusters was a like a khaki-pants-wearing random chasing after you, repeatedly punching you in the nuts, and when you said "Hey, stop that!", they called you a racist against khakis. Meanwhile, you actually quite enjoy watching golf!
What I'm laboring to say here is that Annihilation probably would've gotten more attention if it was "subverting" a beloved IP and angering its basement dwelling, neckbeard, virgin, rapist, alt-right, MRA, islamophobic, misogynistic, transphobic, regressive, toxic/fragile male, bigoted, loser fans who are on the wrong side of history.
Then again Ghostbusters still bombed, so maybe the suits decided to skip the reee-ing this time?

I love RLM, but lately Mike and Jay have been overly negative. Seeming willingly ignorant to many trends and movie experiences outside the drunkard capital of the US.

Annihilation was basically Pokémon as body horror, but I guess The Pokémon Company didn't want to license the rights.

The problem is the focus on movie experiences being almost overwhelmingly stuff which tries to make millions upon millions of dollars, rather than films which make steady and modest profits. The big problem about a lot of films trying to be clever is the people behind them... aren't. The result is usually a miserable fucking mess that is going to lose you money.
Annihilation is by Alex Garland who wrote the screenplays for 28 Days later and Dredd and he seems to have a proper and ideal understanding of whatever subject matter he tends to turn his hand to, with plans to ask more complicated questions whenever he's given another crack at the whip, he wanted to explore Dredd's actual fascism, something which is a pretty big (but background theme) in the comics. Not the usual screaming "anyone to the left of Lennin is a fash I must bash" retardation we've been inundated with lately.
The big issue with Garland is that he writes too well and rather than selling the films in trailers about how every film of his is about humanity, and placing them in unusual circumstances (I.E clever, slow dramas) he usually winds up with some confused as fuck American Producer/Distributor staring at his films and going "Right, we'll take every action sequence and shove it in a trailer." Despite the fact that, of his movies so far, only 2 are actually action movies (Dredd, 28 Days Later).
The only time this panned out well was when he partnered with Film 4 and they could run the trailers on the Channel 4 network at no cost, so plenty of people went to see it. It was also sold as what it was, a slow, careful drama.
Nearly every other film of his have been bilked by stupid marketing.

They're too busy trying to make @Pikapool a reality by having Ryan Reynolds voice Pikachu in Detective Pikachu.
