    How The Flash Could Have Been Better

    The Flash has been out for over a week now, and since it dropped 73% from its opening weekend, it’s safe to say the movie is not resonating. I didn’t like it – although I loved parts of it – and think it collapses under its own weight. But did it have to be this…

    The Flash’s Unusual Marketing and Potential Future

    It’s almost becoming a cliché to say that the behind-the-scenes or other real-world events surrounding a movie make a better story than the film itself, but the way Warner Bros. is marketing The Flash, as detailed in a Variety piece, is interesting.
