Just beating a dead horse at this point. I don't find any joy in it. I want a great, even good, Zemeckis movie as much as anyone. But what annoys me is execs keep giving the guy big budgets and he keeps making flops based on his pedigree from movies he made 30-40 years ago. He seems to have learned absolutely nothing from each of these failures and studios keep emboldening him to repeat expensive mistakes. |

These execs forget that it said “Steven Spielberg Presents” above the titles of those movies. |

If anyone was seeing this at 10PM on a Friday night I'd be very concerned.

Why do they keep giving Robert Zemeckis money? |

Why do they keep giving Robert Zemeckis money? Because PG Cooper watches all his movies. Marwen. Pinocchio. If it says Zemeckis, he’s there. Studios know they can count on that Cooper revenue stream. |

I think people keep hoping that part of his soul that died when he made The Polar Express will magically heal and his ambition might actually produce something good again.

The thing is, he briefly gave us hope with Flight and Allied. Then he quickly went back to his new schtick.

Why do they keep giving Robert Zemeckis money? Pinocchio. I 100% completely forgot about that movie until I read your post. Like, it was deleted from my brain. For 2 seconds I was like 'Pinocchio? He made a Pinocchi...OHHHHHHH!' Oof, that just adds more fuel to the fire. |

Goddamnit, Robert.

What has Zemeckis given you? A remake of the Witches?? |

Yeah, but Ron Howard is making shitty movies about JD Vance which is so much worse. I'm sorry, but if anybody deserved their autobiography to be an absolute shitshow, it was JD Vance. Ron Howard did the world a favor by telling all the viewers asking "Why should I care about this clown?" and making a movie that answers "You shouldn't." |
