Digger (Alejandro González Iñárritu, 2026)

Saw this today. Not really sure what I thought of it, to be honest. I really disliked Birdman, but ultimately liked this much more, but that's really not high praise.

What interested me, though, was I feel this may have done better at the box office (not a hit, just less of a bomb) if the advertising just straight up explained what the film was actually about, especially since it's given away so early. I mentioned to my daughter that I saw this and when she asked how it was I ended up just explaining the plot to her, and afterwards she said "That sounds better than the trailer I saw. It looked so stupid!" And it went from her having zero interest in watching it to she'll put in the effort to watch it when it's streaming, even though it was obvious I'm clearly mixed on it.

Ha!

How many bombs were bombs mostly because of the advertising?
