Rust is a movie that is still being made
I feel like this about a lot of movies and tv shows. In fact, when one ends exactly at the moment I REALLY want it to, it sticks with me and bounces around in my brain forever. And sometimes it’s literally just a few seconds.
The Watchmen series is the best example I can think of where they just nailed this.
That movie has the most buck wild last twenty minutes you’ll maybe ever see
I can’t stress this enough

Reminder that at this point CGI studios are (largely because of MCU movies) extremely over-burdened to the point that vast amounts of overworked artists are fleeing the industry. The MCU recently announced they were going to pull back on the amount of content they are producing and I can't help but think it's largely because they CANT keep making these movies at this pace.

it's not just the MCU, it's the entire industry chewing up and spitting out cgi studios, and doing it for peanuts
disney is just the biggest player in a completely ratfucked industry
EDIT: but yeah, their number crunchers finally realized that their pace was totally unsustainable and was causing audience burnout too
In point of fact the articles I've read actually specifically call out the MCU. That's why I brought it up. The MCU so thoroughly places demands on these studios that other movies are having trouble getting in.

Hard to make the choice to focus on other films when Disney can punish you by pulling away the consistent (and SHITTY) workflow of the MCU from your studio.
Honestly shocked at this
Producers pushed to finish Midnight Rider and that had zero big names attached. Not shocked that a movie that doesn't care about the crew with a Baldwin attached is getting pushed through.

midnight rider had several big names attached to it
William Hurt and Eliza Dushku as actors, not producers. Please don't "well actually" a thing that still affects the industry I exist in IN the state I work within it. I'm pointing out that the film industry doesn't fucking care about me as a person, and they will avoid responsibility wherever they can.
I’m not surprised they’re finishing it now
@PiptheFair sorry if I came off aggressive. I deal with this shit daily and it SUCKS.

That's not me saying the MCU is dying, because Ant-Man 3 definitely made a bunch of money, but like...studios used to counterprogram big superhero movies or other blockbusters with romantic comedies and other lower budget movies and do just fine. I know there are multiple reasons that this doesn't happen as often anymore, given that Disney strongarms theaters into making sure they have as many screens as possible, and that Netflix has a stranglehold on the "slap a big name on a movie our algorithm spit out," market, but...I dunno, feels like there's something of a shift happening in the market.
I know you probably mean budget/profit, but leaving money aside, the MCU movies have been the standard for mediocrity for like a decade. Except for budget and marketing, they are great at those.
if Wakanda Forever and GotG3 are the capstone of the MCU for me I can live with that
I feel like it was pretty clear that I was referring to stuff like 80 for Brady and not Ant-Man 3
And this was the only problem moviepass had
I don't know if I'd say you're being "well actuallyed" here. You said there were no big names attached to the film but there were. That takes nothing away from your experience or the severity of what happened.
The smashcut to end the end credits on The Prestige is top notch in my book as well.

Folks I gotta tell ya a movie or game or stage play or interpretative dance that is 100% built around the tried and tested concept of Nazis getting absolutely fucking exploded into juice is something I will always support.
