Here we go again ⚓️🔥
Jerry Bruckheimer says “Pirates 6” will take a new turn but some OG cast will return 😏
“Not all-new actors… you’ll have to guess 👀”Depp? Still no word from Disney 🤫
But Variety (Dec '24) says he's not totally out — one script had him 📝
And though he once said he’d never go back (“$300M & alpacas? Nope 🦙💸”), Bruckheimer never gave up 💪Pirates without Jack Sparrow? Can’t picture it🏴‍☠️

Did you know? 🎬
The original John Wick script had him killing just 2 people 😮
It was meant to be a slow, restrained story…
But Keanu Reeves pushed for bigger action & scale, and the John Wick we know was born 💥🕶️
So far, Wick has killed 439 people. Yes, really. ☠️

📽️ James Gunn: "The real reason Hollywood is dying? Making movies without a finished script."

"People didn’t leave theaters because of TV screens or streaming. They left because the story wasn’t there."

He promises DC won't follow that path. Supergirl, Lanterns, Clayface—all script-first.

Marvel’s fall? "It wasn’t fair. It ruined Marvel." 🎬🔥

🍅 Rotten Tomatoes: Quality guide or career killer?

Studios now flaunt RT scores in trailers,
and some even choose directors based on them.
A low score could mean no future projects.
But let’s be honest — RT isn’t always right.
Here are 24 “Rotten” films that deserve a second look:
🎬 Just a few:

Birth – 39%
Antichrist – 49%
Babylon – 56%
Vanilla Sky – 42%
Perfume: The Story of a Murderer – 59%
(full list in original article)

Some have been re-evaluated, some await rediscovery,
and some are just too weird for the mainstream.

💬 What’s your favorite Rotten gem?
