Going back to Frozen 2 trailer, I was assuming that elsa was training against the ocean because they found some information that their parents who were lost in a storm at sea were actually alive somewhere, and I sincerely hope that's not the plot because I think that would be lame.
I figured she was using impromptu exposure therapy to get past her phobia of storms (brought on by the death of her parents) then, being Elsa, getting annoyed and icing it because fuck you, I have cryokinesis.
And also, maybe Anna got kidnapped and is on the other side of that storm somewhere.

I got the distinct impression that Elsa was recently shipwrecked and isolated, and that she was learning in the flyn how to escape from a deserted island.
Deadline confirm the attempt at rebooting Pirates of the Caribbean (sans Depp) is already failing, writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick (Deadpool) have abandoned ship
Variety's Justin Kroll says he heard at one point Guy Ritchie was the top choice to direct, which...I know I've said Idris Elba has the worst agent in Hollywood, but Ritchie to put it politely might have the best agent
Guy Ritchie is the poster boy for white men getting infinite chances in Hollywood
He directed 1 very successful movie between 2000 and 2008, Snatch
Then the two Sherlock Holmes movies were massive successes
Then his next 2 movies, The Man from UNCLE and King Arthur, flop INCREDIBLY hard and were very expensive
Then he gets Aladdin which is plagued with controversy basically from the word go and has the least amount of positive buzz of any recent Disney remake
Yet he is still in the running for something like a dang Pirates reboot

I'm not saying that the idea of white men getting too many chances isn't true (it absolutely is), but Richie at least had a couple of bangers in there, and has proven he can at least make critical darlings (lock stock, snatch, the Sherlock movies, I think people like Man From Uncle?). You could probably aim this just as much at the decidedly not-white M Night Shyamalan who had a string of complete fucking disasters that I think may be unmatched in recent Hollywood history.
It seems more like once you're In in Hollywood and know the right people, you will continue to get chances no matter what. If you've shown you can have a hit, investors will always go "I bet a hit is coming, he's due for one", and they just don't let women (or most poc) get a foot in the door at all.
There are also weird cases like Kevin Smith, who looks like a failing director but always makes everyone money, no matter what. He arranges things so that everyone is paid whether the movie bombs or not, he's just a very clever money man who works exceptionally well on a budget. I think Scott Mosier might be a literal genius when it comes to production and making the money work.
It may not be solely limited to white men but there is absolutely a documented pattern of male directors getting second and third and fourth and fifth chances after flops meanwhile if a female director has an unsuccessful film they get thrown into Movie Jail for a decade, if not forever.

Kathryn Bigelow being the biggest example
Yeah, it's fucked. The Old Boys network is awful. I'm pretty sure if Jordan Peel has a single flop he'll get thrown straight in a fire too.

M. Night also largely finances his own films these days if I recall correctly

I think he has played it smart enough that he is in a good spot
He has really developed his production company and they are involved in a whole lot of projects so if a single thing he does flops, he has like 4 other irons already in the fire.
Did you know he co-created a sci-fi social commentary comedy show, Weird City, with Steven Yeun, Gillian Jacobs, LeVar Burton and more?
And that it is free on Youtube and came out yesterday?
shyamalan's box office record is actually pretty good, his last three movies all made big returns because they were filmed with a small budget. he'll probably never get a $100 million+ budget movie again because both of his flopped, but I think producers are quite happy to throw him <$20 million

That's really my complaint with Ritchie
He keeps getting these gigantic, expensive movies despite having his last 2 stabs flop hard
Aladdin will almost certainly not flop, but I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't as big of a success as they would like. Especially compared to Lion King later this year.
If he was doing, like, 40-60 million flicks then sure okay
But he had a 75 million dollar movie make 43 domestic
A 175 million movie make 39 million domestic
And then he gets a movie that has a reported 200 million budget! That's nuts!

Last time we had that, I won our movie-voting system and put on Drive Angry.
She hated it. HATED IT. She brings it up a lot to her boyfriend.
So, with it being Valentine's Day, I am going to follow that up with Nic Cage's most romantic offering.

There is a character in Dune named Duncan Idaho?
I think it's kind of perfect.
Depending on how much Dune you read
He is the most important character in the entire series
