I am ready to Midnight Margarita again! It’s good to see Stockard Channing again as well!

Hope this does well. Relatively low-stakes, live-action supernatural entertainments like this (or Hocus Pocus, or Casper, or Addams Family) were among the more wholesome aspects of popular American cinema in the 90s.
Speaking of the 90s, it’d be interesting to see these two meet Harry Dunne and Lloyd Christmas in a future sequel, completing the trilogies of both franchises with one crossover film. Looking at the trailer thumbnail image here I can definitely imagine a similarly modern image appearing one day, only this time with Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels smiling alongside Kidman and Bullock, creating a contrast between the dumb friends and the savvy witches. (They could call it “Dumb & Dumber Magic,” or even just “Practical Magic 3” with no reference to the crossover in the title.)

Those screams you heard in this distance was my wife so excited for this film

They seem to be running out of songs for the requisite slow dramatic cover in the modern trailer.

I saw the first one in theaters at 13yo bc we just always saw whatever came out on Friday nights. Distinctly remember thinking that i was not the target audience for this at the time. Should i try it again 25 years later?

We come to **this** place for magic

28 years later they mastered the spell to freeze their foreheads

Hilarious how much better even a basic movie like Practical Magic looked than its modern counterpart.

The “practical magic,” they are talking about is plastic surgery.

Omg omg omg was not expecting this sequel. Was literally taking about this movie last night

So the sisters opened their own Botox clinic?

This is such a great example of how there is no younger generation to take over movie star status. Almost three decades later and the leads from the original are still the biggest money draw. They could have logically continued this story with the two younger set of sisters, but why would they do that when they have Bullock and Kidman. Those 1970s through 1990s movie stars are just aging and dying, they are not being replaced. It’s more evident than ever. I wish we could make Meryl Streep 30 years old and start all over again.

Finally, a sequel people want.

And Lee Pace is in it too! It looks so good!

Why do some of the shots look so wrong? The lighting looks so terrible. Some of it looks lit for a TV show. Some of it is desaturated arbitrarily to the point is looks like when HDR isn’t rendering properly. And the tea cup shot especially looks sped-up and really rendered on a PS4. And everything has the soap opera effect.
Honestly, if you told me this was somehow an AI fan vid, I’d want to believe you.
Also, Lee Pace is looking like Anthony Starr with too much eyeliner and Hugh Jackman’s facial hair.

I know that the first one has a bit of a cult following, but this still seems like one of those legacy sequels that feels like such a weird financial gamble. The first one was a box office flop and this is just so far after the first one that I can’t imagine it will do well in the box office in the streaming era.

Umm, excuse me, no Aidan Quinn, WTH!
astrocanyounaut on
I did not know Lee Pace was going to be in this and now I’m more excited. It helps ease the pain of apparently Aidan Quinn disappearing or dying.
The first one is such a comfort movie for me, I’m happy to just get more of the sisters

Are the new daughters from Sally’s second marriage to Gary? They look so young.
Also anyone else think the girls look a bit miscast? Neither Maisie Williams nor Joey King look much like Sandra’s character.

Me before the trailer: This movie didn’t need a sequel.
Me after the trailer: I’m going to watch the shit out of this.

Rewatched the first one a while ago because my wife had never seen it.
It held up. The tone of this feels right.
It’s supposed to be fun and just embracing itself.

This sub: we hate sequels
Also this sub: fuck yes a sequel

Booooo to killing Gary. If I had a nickel for every Sandra Bullock movie sequel that replaces the love interest from the first through death or recast, I’d have 3 nickels. And I hope this is better than those other 2 movies .
The first one is a cable classic I’m fond of because, well, grew up with sisters. See it way too many times. It’s got Lee Pace though so sold. Him as a witch or ageless elf is layup casting

I hate when new movies put in effects or sparks when they do magic. Just like with the new The Craft movie. They made the magic more fantasy-ish rather than being natural and subdued. Meh.
Guyfromnewyork95 on
Yes finally!! I legit cant wait, I love the first one so much. Not sure if this is based on one of the books but now seems like a perfect time to finally read them
