Aaron Taylor-Johnson's collapse is complete

Are Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Anya Taylor Joy the same person?

Does he get his pinga out?

[quote] Kraven is a FLOP.

So is Aaron's HUGE cock!

But he's so hot?!

He is going to be the new Bond right? So doubtful he is a flop. The movie was terrible but nothing to do with him. It was like it had three different plots.

No matter what, he'll always have a beautiful, big dick.

I’m Kraven that dick and ass.

^^^^ That was awesome R7^^^^

Kraven is an odd name for a hunter, no?

A flop for certain. Bill Skarsgard similarly had a huge failure with The Crow remake this year, but I think the soon-to-be-released Nosferatu (which Aaron is also starring in) will be a hit for all involved.

I want to get railed by him so fucking badly it's not even funny.

Who is the blond guy in this photo, who's about to suck Aaron's cock??

Lucky him.

I didn't know Aaron played gay. What movie is this from?

Not clear about Bond. Rumor (rumour?) mill has moved on.

r12 that is from million little pieces - and he is not playing gay. Not sure what the scene was about but the two get into some kind of fight in the showers.

I guess since he is now a failed leading man approaching 40 he’ll continue to do the smaller movies that could include nudity.

“AARON TAYLOR JOHNSON - FOR WHEN YOU CAN’T AFFORD A REAL STAR.”

Rhino!

OMG, WTF were they thinking???

[quote]Not clear about Bond. Rumor (rumour?) mill has moved on.

Yeah I think everyone grew tired of Bond speculation. And he generally has taken on weird roles that no one cares about.

As hot as he is, he only has a couple more years before we totally forget about him and move on younger big dick actors!

In a few years, he and his old lady will look roughly the same age.

That voice of his is a total boner-killer.

r20 He talks?

The British don’t age well.

[quote]Who is the blond guy in this photo

It's Giovanni Ribisi, old dear. And R14 is right, there was nothing sexual going on in that scene

I bet 28 Year Later will do bang up business in spite of him being in it.

I feel like some Brits get better looking as they age r22 but it tends to happen in a weird way. like the good looking ones age terribly but the more offbeat ones get better looking. It's an interesting balance.

He was the only bad thing in nosferatu. Chewed up the scenery like he was in a high school production of the importance of being earnest

R22 Jonathan Bailey, Henry Cavill, Orlando Bloom, Tom, Hardy, Jack O’Connell, Daniel Craig and (even) Hugh Grant are doing fine thanks.

2 out of the 3 American Chrises are RANK. And have you seen Matthew McConauchey lately?

[Quote] The British don’t age well.

They’re like everybody else. Some do, some don’t.

I don't think you can blame this on him, although he is such a bland and uninteresting actor aside from his abs

Sony’s first R-rated comic book movie Kraven the Hunter is crashing and burning in its domestic box office debut after topping Friday’s chart with $4.7 million, coming in behind even sister pic Madame Web.

At this rate, the movie is expected to open in third place with $10 million to $12 million, one of the worst openings for a pic based on a Marvel comic book character, alongside Elektra way back in the day with $12.4 million, not adjusted for inflation.

Reviewers are ravaging the film, while audiences slapped it with a C CinemaScore.

I low-key want this to bomb so that he’d go broke from paying child support and his old wife’s medical bills. It’s the only way to get him on onlyfans.

I don’t think these Sony movies hurt the actors because they’re all doing poorly so the stars aren’t to blame.

Plus he has “Nosferatu” and “28 Years Later” so this movie and it bombing will be forgotten about. His career isn’t riding on the success of this.

If anything, the promotional rounds are helping him for the next 2 films.

Sony does them to hang on to the Marvel property. Disney owns Marvel but Sony has rights to certain Marvel properties including Spiderman. As long as they churn out the movies - Mobius, Kraven, Venom, Madem Web - most of them shit but it keep Sony able to make Marvel properties,

I don't understand how the people Sony ever imagined they could create a commercially successful cinematic universe based ONLY ON Spider-Man enemies. Like ...WTF. How about a cinematic comic universe based around the Jr. High teachers of Spider-man's enemies

He needs to dump his crypt keeper wife. She’s dragging him down.

Hey, Aaron!

Come sit with us!

That donkey dick will ably prop up any collapse, OP.

[quote] I guess since he is now a failed leading man approaching 40 he’ll continue to do the smaller movies that could include nudity.

YES, please!

[quote] That donkey dick will ably prop up any collapse, OP.

It's also likely to cause PROLAPSE.

[quote] "Kraven the Hunter" posts worst opening yet for Sony/Marvel movie

Women are in full attendance this weekend at the domestic box office, walking over fanboys as a pair of Thanksgiving holdovers, Disney’s Moana 2 and Universal’s Wicked, are driving an early pre-holiday weekend to $92 million, up 21% over the same frame a year ago.

Moana 2‘s third weekend came in at $26.6M, -48%, while Wicked continued to hold like a rock with $22.5M, -38%, in its fourth frame.

Disney is the No. 1 animation studio of the year with Moana 2 and Inside Out 2 grossing a combined $2.4 billion globally so far. Moana 2 at $717M became the fourth highest-grossing movie of the year, notching ahead of Dune: Part Two ($714M).

Meanwhile, Sony’s R-rated Kraven the Hunter, couldn’t even get animals to attend, let alone people, with what’s shaping up to be an $11M opening per the studio on this $110M production. That is indeed the worst start for the Sony/Marvel movies, lower than Morbius ($39M) and Madame Web ($15.3M 3-day). Duly note, muscular men in leather vests do not sell in the same way that surfer girls and singing witches do.

Meanwhile, Warner Bros/New Line’s thrifty priced $30M+ animated Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim is just not an event for Orc fans, nor those of anime, with a studio-reported $4.6M.

While the industry tends to underplay this weekend and blames holiday activities as distractions, there are several wake-up calls here. First, great family movies have launched in this corridor consistently, therefore this weekend should never, ever be considered less than par. People do make time to go to the movies in mid-December, but when you open two duds with zero word of mouth, you’re as good as a tree falling in the woods with no one around.

Second, women do go to the movies if you give them an event film, and they’ll keep coming — hello, Barbie and It Ends With Us. Many have Moana 2 and Wicked heading to a half billion at the domestic box office.

Third, Sony, it’s time to have a come-to-Jesus with your development department: You have a Marvel problem, and you need to be far more protective about shepherding such fare.

Social media monitor RelishMix spotted negative word of mouth on Kraven the Hunter ahead of opening: “Many viewers are unassuaged in their apprehension to taking a C-list comic book character and giving him his own movie. RelishMix reports the pre-release social media universe stats on Kraven the Hunter are at 278.9M, running 40% below action-adventure thriller genre norms across TikTok, Facebook, X, YouTube and Instagram combined.

Kraven the Hunter was sold to exhibitors as a major Sony movie to exhibitors, and shown off as early as April 2023 at CinemaCon, more than a year and a half ago.

We can’t accept the “dog ate my homework” excuses here with Kraven of superhero fatigue or the fact it’s deep universe. James Gunn proved that deep universe does work when made emotional and epic with Guardians of the Galaxy.

Kraven the Hunter would arguably have benefited from a four-day holiday, given how it was destined to be a bomb. If anything, Kraven the Hunter should have been on a four-day weekend, like originally planned (it was first scheduled for MLK weekend 2023). Funny enough, Kraven the Hunter was originally set to open before Madame Web, which had an initial release date of July 7, 2023.

Diagnostics on Kraven the Hunter saw 71% guys show up with 56% of the audience between 18-34 and 40% over 35. Biggest demo was 25-34 at 30%. Diversity demos were 43% Caucasian, 24% Hispanic and Latino, 19% Black, 8% Asian and 6% Native American/other. PLFs and Imax auditoriums accounted for 31% of the weekend. Those who attended were largely in the South, South Central and West with AMC Disney Springs the pic’s best venue with just over $14K since Thursday.

As far as Warner Bros goes, no, it’s not good to see major property fall greatly short at the box office. At a $30M production cost and $5M estimated opening.

Sony could make a very viable universe around Spiderman. He has plenty of villains to use, plenty of other heroes that potentially could be used, I am just not sure what they are allowed to use.

R31 = Aaron Taylor-Johnson

[quote]Female Power Triumphs At Box Office Amid Fanboy Fallout As ‘Moana 2’ & ‘Wicked’ Kick ‘Kraven The Hunter’ & ‘Lord Of The Rings’ To Curb

Geez - stop with this narrative.

Why is it that when certain movies fail it's "misogyny" but when other movies do well, it's "female power."

Just stop with this absurd bullshit.

[quote] Plus he has “Nosferatu” and “28 Years Later” so this movie and it bombing will be forgotten about. His career isn’t riding on the success of this.

28 Years Later will be a hit, with or without ATJ.

Not sure what's the forecast on Nosferatu, but I hear good buzz about it. And ATJ isn't the star, so he's not really a determining factor in the success of the movie.

The only movie I want to see ATJ in is “Massage with happy ending”.

He was so hot in Savages. Those were some beautifully filmed orgies. Award worthy.

He's got 4 movies coming up.

I do wonder if the whole weirdness with his wife makes critics more ready to pan his work.

R47 I think his wife being so damn old is hurting him as a sex symbol amongst fraus hence the flops left and right.

[quote]He is going to be the new Bond right?

Not sure if this has been posted here, but Amazon (which now owns MGM, and along with it the Bond franchise) is having "creative differences" with longtime Bond producer Barbara Broccoli. She's a vile, racist cunt who had to be cajoled into allowing even a *temporarily* Black 007 – Lashana Lynch at the beginning of "No Time to Die" – to serve.

SHE wants Aaron as Bond. Amazon isn't sure what it does want, but it DOESN'T want the next Bond to be yet another white guy. Unclear which side will prevail: Broccoli doesn't get "final cut" per se, but as the de facto head of one of the longest-running (or THE longest) – and most profitable – film series ever, Broccoli's views get far more than they otherwise would. Or, rather, she wanted Aaron as Bond – past tense. Hitting a new box-office low is a career-killer even for far-bigger stars: Eddie Murphy did so with "The Adventures of Pluto Nash," and his live-action film career never really recovered (but, fortunately for him, he won the lottery in the form of "Shrek" residuals). Ditto Mike Myers and "The Love Guru." Or DL fave, Miss John Travolta, in that batshit C0$ "Battlefield Earth" movie. Or even Geena Davis and "Cutthroat Island."

[quote]I don't think you can blame this on him, although he is such a bland and uninteresting actor aside from his abs

I think you can blame his lack of vision & insight: he should've known from the script alone that it'd be a POS movie.

Lately I been watching all the Bond films on Amazon. The Craig films are truly in a league of their own. They elevated the material in ways never thought possible. The original Connery films are more like straight forward comedies with action elements. Pierce was obviously the sexiest.

TOTALLY agreed, R50. When I was a little kid, I thought "Moonraker" was the second-coolest movie I'd ever seen, behind "Star Wars." I was 7 at the time, however, and now recognize that all of the later Roger Moore movies are campy garbage that has NOT aged well.

Even as an adult I was a huge fan of the Pierce Brosnan ones, but he simply doesn't have the same level of gravitas as Craig. I'd even go so far as to say that he's a better Bond than Connery, which I know is heresy in some circles. The only somewhat weak entry in his CV is "Spectre," which apparently went into production without a finished script and also hugely overbudget.

Also, in hindsight the Connery installments are rampantly sexist & homophobic. "Goldfinger" is one of the most famous Bond movies (for good reason), but also features Bond bitchslapping women and sexually assaulting obvious lesbian Pussy Galore. (Plus the name "Pussy Galore" itself is teenage-level ridiculousness.) He fucks her and - ta da! - no mo lesbo in her!

[quote] Barbara Broccoli. She's a vile, racist cunt who had to be cajoled into allowing even a *temporarily* Black 007 – Lashana Lynch at the beginning of "No Time to Die" – to serve.

It's not racist to want to stay true to the original character.

I hope Amazon changes its position, now that Wokeism is DEAD.

People are tired of the bullshit.

Bond was originally a white man. He should stay a white man.

Why does every single classic character have to be a person of color now?

That's why people are tuning out.

If you want an interesting POC character, then WRITE A NEW ONE.

Stop stealing from traditional characters, and trying to remake them into POC.

No one wants to see that.

He is very hot but his flops have probably more to do to his lack of screen presence and charisma than to the age of his wife.

What a stupid concept. I'm so tired of these comic-book movies.

You could see that the movie is a total cringey stink bomb just from a 2-minute trailer. Everything about it rang ridiculous. No actor could have salvaged that piece of shit.

R51, The Connery movies were most faithful to the Fleming novels.

In general, I have never cared for re-makes or new castings having to change ethnicities/genders. "The Wiz," "Hamilton," Dr. Joan Watson, etc.

Commander James Bond would not have been anyone but a White man. Why must this character be changed in race?

Make up a new spy, write new stories. But let's not pretend he would be Fleming's Bond.

Box Office POISON!!!!!

[quote]It's not racist to want to stay true to the original character.

By extension, does this mean it's not sexist that Bond "stayed true" to the original character by routinely slapping women around in the Connery-era installments? Sorry, but I'm calling bullshit on both. If they wanted to remain truly "faithful," every film to date would be a '50s- or '60s-era period piece, with no female characters except for secretaries & sluts. At the time MI6 WAS comprised almost entirely of white men as agents, with white women as secretaries like Moneypenny. A woman running MI6 would've been unthinkable.

But it's 2024, not 1954. Refusing to even *consider* a non-white person as Bond would be 100% racist, given that there's literally no need for it plotwise. No aspect of Bond's history is specific to race.

[quote]I hope Amazon changes its position, now that Wokeism is DEAD.

Um, no. Trump winning the election by a small percentage didn't "kill 'wokeism.'" Since you're clearly not paying much attention, I'll point out that nearly ALL major entertainment franchises these days have strongly pivoted to focusing on female characters – unfortunately giving birth to incels in the process who review-bomb anything with a female lead – and aside from superheroes & the like, this will continue to be the case. We may have white male assholes on parade for another month, but after everything rapidly falls to shit after the inauguration, that'll won't alter our on-the-ground reality, at least in TV or film.

Btw you know this site is mainly for HOMOSEXUAL MEN, yes? We're already woke as fuck, you racist cunt.

Barbara Broccoli is not a racist. She produced Till, ffs.

Ariana DeBose really can't catch a break, can she?

After "west Side Story," just one failure after another.

Diminishing returns.

[quote] Why does every single classic character have to be a person of color now?

Why NOT, bitch?!!!

No kidding, R60. Its failure had nothing to do with her specifically, but choosing the final season of "Westworld" as her first post-WSS project was a spectacularly bad idea.

Only if you agree to "The Color Purple" with a White cast, r61.

Put me in the confused af camp regarding the alleged plot of this film.

Initially, I thought it was some “Conan” knockoff which looked interesting.

Then I saw the trailer and couldn’t figure out WTF this was supposed to be about? Time traveling Conan? Some half naked Grizzly Adams type attacking scumbags in the woods? Some cosplaying dude stalking fellow weirdos?

Maybe I was too tired to notice, but it looked like some buff geek cosplaying Conan in upstate NY.

An ALL WHITE cast, R63.

Then wait for the outrage.

[quote] Only if you agree to "The Color Purple" with a White cast, [R61].

You're just being contrary. The James Bond film franchise is not informed by Bond being white. Conversely, what would be the plot of "The Color Purple" if Celie was white?

Fine. Then, r66, re-make Denzel's roles in "The Equalizer" series; "The Pelican Brief"; "The Taking of Pelham 123" (already a remake); etc. No outcry? Okay.

And I say this as someone who has MET Denzel after his worthy turn as the very Roman (and not J. Israel, Esquire) Brutus on Broadway. I adore him. That's not my larger point.

Lashana Lynch wasn’t very memorable though. Didn’t Naomi Harris start out as an agent but by the end of [Skyfall?] she became Moneypenny? Moneypenny transforming into 007 would certainly rile up the masses.

I disagree with the poster above who says ATJ is bad in Nosferatu. He gives one of my favorite performances in it and I find his B-plot storyline with Emma Corrin really moving and sad. I think it's the best work he's ever done.

[quote] And I say this as someone who has MET Denzel after his worthy turn as the very Roman (and not J. Israel, Esquire) Brutus on Broadway. I adore him. That's not my larger point.

I don't know your point. It seemed you were just protesting the concept of colorblind casting, which should not be a problem when a character's story is not informed by race or ethnicity.

Bond's having a Scottish father and a Swiss mother and In Her Majesty's Service might be considered.

Did the Flemming books actually say Bond was white or just English and it was assumed he was white?

[quote]Then I saw the trailer and couldn’t figure out WTF this was supposed to be about? Time traveling Conan? Some half naked Grizzly Adams type attacking scumbags in the woods? Some cosplaying dude stalking fellow weirdos?

Like Madame Web, Morbius & Venom, he's a Spiderman-adjacent quasi-superhero who develops "animal-like instincts" after being given a magic potion as a child when he was near-death. (No, I'm not making this up.) He becomes a vigilante who takes on "assignments" like killing Russian drug kingpins. It makes little sense aside from DC thinking it could yet again make a movie featuring Spidey characters but no Spidey, though to be fair it mostly worked for Venom at least.

[quote]Fine. Then, R66, re-make Denzel's roles in "The Equalizer" series.

Did you somehow miss that Queen Latifah's been doing that for four seasons in a network series that also happens to be a top-10 show? I don't think the series is quite as revered as you think – see how many people it takes before you find one who actually *knew* they had a third & final film installment a year ago – but a better example either way would be "Shaft" IMO.

[quote]Bond's having a Scottish father and a Swiss mother and In Her Majesty's Service might be considered.

Not these days. Even Scotland's gotten a fair amount more multicultural, at least in its urban areas. Btw I thought about it from a different perspective: Dame Judi was announced as the new M nearly 30 years ago now, in the first Pierce Brosnan version. "Originalists" were incensed, because in the novels M is always male. (And Moneypenny is a white hausfrau type. Q's a geezer, not a hipster queer guy.) So: why, then, is Bond's race in any way sacrosanct?

That said, one of the few elements from prior films that ended up becoming canon is the reveal in "GoldenEye" that Bond was an orphan. It was explicitly incorporated into "Skyfall" and "Spectre," albeit to absurdity in the latter with the reveal that Blofeld was Bond's adoptive older brother.

[quote]Did the Flemming books actually say Bond was white or just English and it was assumed he was white?

The latter.

I guess it's been too many years (60+) since I've read all the Fleming Bonds (imitators are Fuhgeddaboutit, just like some of the later movies made from whole cloth and altered characters), and need to get with the Zeitgeist.

Maybe we could agree to an Asian Bond. Might cause a re-make of "You Only Live Twice" to be a challenge, but what the hey.

r73 Kraven, Spiderman and the like are Marvel properties, not DC.

He needs to go nude again.

He'll make millions.

ATJ is currently doing commercials for Jameson Black Barrel Whiskey.

HOT!

Aaron Taylor Johnson with puppies.

That is all.

He can collapse on me anytime

Yes, he ruined his career early on by having children in his teens. This way he was never able to bank on a bachelor status. He was in fact so desperate to revive his career some years ago, that he wanted to show the world his genitalia which was rather dry for European standards. So that didn't really work out either. Now due to the stress of parenting, he aged 2x and because of this people don't care about him anymore (There is just no acting talent with that high-pitched voice). So my suggestion to men who want to become famous: Learn from his mistakes and get a vasectomy! See linked tiktok video as an example:

Aaron Taylor Johnson at the Nosferaty premiere in LA:

It's his old lady! Nothing more, nothing less! And her Plain-Jane Shelley Duvall look hasn't helped!
