There’s bad, and there’s also worse. That’s how we could describe the current era of DC movies, at least according to their commercial results. It’s been almost 18 months since DC released a commercially successful movie, and even longer if we only consider Dceu movies. No Dceu movie that was released since 2019 managed to earn more than $400 million worldwide, despite the positive reviews that some of them, such as ‘The Suicide Squad’ or ‘Blue Beetle’ received.

Following box-office failures of this year’s ‘Shazam! Fury of the Gods’ and ‘The Flash,’ we were all ready for the same thing to happen to ‘Blue Beetle.’ The movie grossed a little over $40 million worldwide during the opening weekend, and for comparison, ‘Shazam! Fury of the Gods’ opened with $65.5 million, and ‘The Flash’ with $139 million. To be clear, it’s not the movie’s fault that it turned out to be a flop.

Media coverage of Jean-Luc Godard’s death will fall short of what he merits. He was a game-changing creator on the level of Sergei Eisenstein, Charlie Chaplin, D.W. Griffith, and others who changed the grammar of film forever, but his best-known films are from a half-century ago. And there’s this: Under the standards by which successful directors are judged today — box office and awards — Godard was strictly a minor-league player.

His lifelong regard as a master is a tribute to his films above all, but it also speaks to a cinephile culture that elevated and supported him for decades despite the general public’s disinterest.

In the U.S., Godard’s films initially received erratic distribution with short-run showings at a few big-city theaters; even his best-known titles like “Breathless” and “Week-end” received marginal releases. They appeared erratically, out of order, and sometimes not until two or three years after their public debuts.

Jean-Luc Godard, whose dynamic style and innovative techniques changed cinema forever, has died at the age of 91.

Jean-Luc Godard was consistently ranked among the greatest and most influential directors to ever live. Beginning as a film critic before making a literal wave in French cinema, Godard and the likes of François Truffaut and Jacques Rivette launched the French New Wave. The movement pushed nearly all boundaries of expected filmmaking techniques.

Godard’s nearly 60-year career was prolific and ever-evolving, churning out over 40 films in that time period, including Breathless, Band of Outsiders, Week-end, Tout va bien, and The Image Book, his final film. Jean-Luc Godard constantly showcased his rebellious style and command, from his 1960 debut through his final years, where he even made a 3D movie. He, too, molded the careers of so many French icons, including the great Jean Seberg, who was later played by Kristen Stewart.

Jean-Luc Godard, the revered filmmaker regarded as a giant of the French New Wave movement, has died at the age of 91.

He was known for directing a run of radical, medium-changing films throughout the 1960s, including Breathless and Alphaville.

News of Godard’s death was reported by the French newspaper Liberation.

Along with contemporaries such as Éric Rohmer, Jacques Rivette, and François Truffaut, the Paris-born Godard was a central figure in the Nouvelle Vague, an experimental film movement that emerged in France in the late 1950s.

Several of his films are frequently cited among the best movies ever made.

Godard’s first feature was Breathless, released in 1960, an experimental tribute to American film noir. Starring Jean-Paul Belmondo as a hoodlum named Michel, and Jean Seberg as his American girlfriend, the film caused a stir with its unusual visual style and editing techniques, immediately announcing Godard as one of cinema’s great innovators.

Critic-turned-filmmaker Godard is known for films including ‘Breathless’ and ‘Contempt’.

Influential French filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard has died aged 91, according to a report in French newspaper Liberation.

The publication cites people close to the filmmaker as the source of the news.

Born in Paris in 1930, Godard was a central figure in the French New Wave movement of the late 1950s and 60s. He worked as a critic for then newly-founded French magazine Cahiers du cinéma in 1952, before making his first fiction short Une femme coquette in 1955.

The filmmaker’s first feature, 1960’s Breathless (French title: A Bout De Souffle) is among...

Kane Brown gets adventurous with Experiment, the upcoming follow-up to the singer-songwriter’s self-titled 2016 debut.

According to USA Today, Experiment finds Brown working once again with Dann Huff, the producer and longtime guitar hero who helped turn Brown’s self-titled release into a platinum-selling success. Due out November 9th, Experiment picks up where that album left off, building a Millennial-approved country sound out of R&B swagger, pop polish and the supercharged, amplified guitars of modern rock. “Lose It,” the album’s first single, was introduced earlier this summer, while a new track,...
