it’s true, but the demand for intelligent meta movies seems low

you know how long it takes to find a decent movie now? forever. the whole industry is beneath me. I gave up and watch ancient mesopotamian docs and otis gibbs.

it takes people to make it profitable

Alrght. I’m leaving a comment here as a reminder to come back to this thread and tell my creepy pasta story.

EDIT: i read the lamp story. it was ok i guess. mine is similar.

well, i guess when everything sucks, you get to be snobby about it. maybe we should try to fix it rather than attack the messenger.

libertarians, rich nerds and crypto bros

like i said, the right.

that’s boomer movies, dufus. i’m solidly gen X, the greatest generation since… the greatest generation.

not my fault your generation bought into the MCU and killed cinema.

i mean, you feel attacked, so of course you respond this way

i think the right needs to be intimidated in general.

obviously, any real revolutionary should be obsessed with concealing their identity at this point if they want to be an effective combatant.

i see a giant target whenever i see one of those things.

like, if bad things started happening to cyber truck owners (who are obviously cowards like most big truck people - obsessed with their own safety), people would shun those things like the plague and musk would get his come uppance.

right now, it’s become the new culture war motif - another stupid thing for stupid people to defend.

because you don’t feed the viewer biases. like good music, it can be interpreted in many ways. let the viewer decide for themselves. if the viewer is too dimwitted to draw their own conclusion, then let them fuck off as dimwits should.

my kind of movie! ye of dimwit status be warned.

exactly

i can’t wait to see it. they don’t make good movies any more. this might be the exception.

Coppola might be one of the last great filmmakers left. I fear there won’t be any good movies ever made again after he and a few others pass away. It seems there is no good taste left in younger generations.

it drives me nuts. please preserve grammar, people. it just descends into chaos without it.

I spent the last year on the road in a touring band and let me tell you, these things are not what they used to be. They’ve hobbled them with thermostat limits of as high as 70 F. I need that shit to go to at least 68.
