watching the marketing for this movie switch from "serious DV movie" to "omg LOVE story" in realtime has been...something.

someone posted tiktoks of extras talking about baldoni and that was the final piece i needed to be convinced this is just the reynolds house being scummy and insufferable. i have never had a notably good experience with a director, and ive seen "big ticket" names take over a set for no reason other than they have plans. it's not like i liked either of them before but it's just so tacky and distasteful that im over it. theyre blocked in my mind.

When this movie was announced I was intrigued because of Justin Baldoni being involved. From the start he was very straightforward about this story being about DV. I was kind of curious to see if he'd do a better job with the shitty story. I'm not surprised that marketing shifted to acting like this movie is a love story considering that's how the fans treat it, but pushing Justin aside is fucked.

I'm glad Borderlands flopped, I wish nothing but failure on Eli Roth. I will say that the whole media blitz/weird synergy around Blake Lively's new movie really strange and off putting. AMC is doing a whole "win a trip to Boston" sweepstakes, but like, isn't this movie supposed to be a drama about intergenerational trauma and domestic abuse? The other day I read a twitter thread of excerpts from the book/other things Cooleen Hoover has written, and it was all unspeakably bad writing. Anyway, I saw Sing Sing yesterday and it was pretty extraordinary. Colman Domingo is an incredible actor.

Jack Black did all the disavowing of his longtime musician partner and friend after that Trump joke just for this movie to flop? Lawls.
