Nobody asked for this movie anyway so...

[squirrels_oh_no]

I know the 2017 movie made like $350 million, but like... I don't know anyone who saw it.

[gloeden2]

I saw it. On a library dvd. It was shit. Irredeemable shit.

They should just throw this movie on some streaming platform and be done with it. I honestly still don't get how Kenneth Branagh keeps getting hired to direct these days. Cinderella was bad, Murder On The Orient Express was terrible, Artemis Fowl was a disaster... Flop after flop after flop and we already know what's gonna happen to this new bomb. And yeah, fuck Armie Hammer too.

[gloeden2]

"Express" made a bunch of money, it was a hit.
So we're stuck with his shit for awhile, since Hollywood loves to give a White man work.

Kenneth Branagh and Armie Hammer? Just burn it, it will be cheaper and a blessing

[jontargaryen]

Crafting that strategy - one that respects silence breakers and survivors, protects Hammer’s co-stars like Gal Gadot and Letitia Wright, and avoids unsavory mentions of cannibalism fetishes and criminal sexual assault allegations for a brand synonymous with family - presents a dizzying array of challenges.

I like that we're at least acknowledging, 'hey, we don't want women to have to be around this guy.'

Honestly, this is one of the reasons I think Armie might actually stay cancelled. No actress with even marginal sway is ever going to want to be in a room with him again, for good reason.

The other advantage is that he never really "made" it anyway. He wasn't bankable, so no one particularly cares.

[hazypink]

basically. he has stans (everyone has stans) and i'm sure they're vicious but the GP doesn't actually have any goodwill towards him so i bet it's much easier to make him disappear

They reeeally should've put this on Disney+ or Hulu in fall 2020
