This movie represents a cyclical moment for Hollywood, constantly revisiting its own past. Director Tom Gormican, who previously explored Hollywood’s self-obsession in The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, seems content with any story that allows him to do so. While not a direct remake of the 1997 Anaconda, it’s a rather tame satire of the film industry—an industry that wouldn’t even find it strange to remake itself. Despite being funny and unexpectedly charming, the movie ultimately lacks substance, much like the snake it features. Anaconda tries to capture the spirit of Bowfinger for a modern audience, but ends up feeling as bland as the original film it’s inspired by. It’s aimed at viewers who fondly remember classic blockbusters and are annoyed by studio executives exploiting familiar material without understanding it.

The new film, Avatar: Fire and Ash, opened to a strong $345 million worldwide. While successful, this was a bit lower than the $435 million debut of Avatar: The Way of Water in 2022. However, early predictions suggest Avatar 3 will perform even better, potentially having a smaller drop in sales over the Christmas period than its predecessor.

The store is having a sale, making it more affordable to buy classic Sailor Moon anime and manga. Crunchyroll Mega Fans subscribers can now find almost all Sailor Moon items and merchandise offered by the streaming service at discounted prices.
