“You and your whole generation of navel gazers! With your wounded feelings and your precious space and your bottomless thirst for attention. Basking in the glow of all those purity tests that only you get to pass because of course you can! You’ve got no responsibilities! None! Zero! N/A!” That got a big round of applause the night I saw the play.

AOC is like 34, and a congresswoman. besides what does responsibility have to do with “purity tests”? having a job and a mortgage means you have to support genocide?

The GoT showrunners are not involved in HotD so the quality of that show is irrelevant.

that being said HotD is kinda mid IMO

I think gunner refers more to the team itself whereas gooner refers more to the fans.

I will watch the shaun videos because watching good youtubers calmly dunk on popular bad youtubers is a guilty pleasure

ah, I’ve never watched a CinemaSins video. it sounds like something I can safely avoid because I don’t like review shows that only exist to shit on movies they hate

I guess RedLetterMedia got big by doing that but at least they also sometimes talk about stuff they actually like

edit: also I don’t think only obscure foreign art films count as works of art, I’m a horror fan so a lot of my favorite movies are very schlocky but still have artistic merit IMO

are you referring to all movies and shows as “slop”? because if so I strongly disagree, film is a legitimate art form and experiencing art is absolutely not meaningless. idk what this dude is watching but I wouldn’t assume it’s just Marvel. even good movies can have the kinds of flaws he’s talking about

I can recognize faults in movies without it completely ruining my enjoyment of them, because I’m cool and normal. some people get weirdly mad any time a movie does something they don’t like and I would suggest chilling tf out about it. making a movie is a complex process that involves many people making lots of decisions under specific constraints and it’s pretty unreasonable to demand perfection

some of my favorite movies have definite flaws and that’s okay, all art is flawed because humans are flawed. hell, sometimes it’s the flaws that make a movie interesting

yeah there’s a TV series, it’s much better than that movie and this one is explicitly gay

I don’t really think all movies need character development to be good, I mean it’s definitely important in say, a character-driven drama film, but in a zany screwball comedy horror movie for kids? not so much.

Beetlejuice has a very silly premise which benefits from brevity, I think diving too deep into the characters would make the whole thing less fun and bog the movie down in terms of pacing. it’s really important for a movie like that to maintain a sense of momentum, and that’s very hard to do with a long runtime

under-30 turnout will be historically low. how many young people want to vote for some old piece of shit who was already the president? most of our lives got worse under both these assholes

it really depends on the type of movie. this is Beetlejuice were talking about, not some Scorsese crime epic

yeah Raimi is the other reason why I gave it a chance, but even a good director can’t save these Marvel movies

he should go back to making horror slop instead of superhero slop

good point, the only reason I saw Doctor Strange 2 in theaters was because there was a heat wave and there was nothing good out at the time

nice, I didn’t realize the remastered director’s cut had been released, I’ve never seen the movie because I was waiting for that version to come out

it was actually not that easy to find a torrent but it’s on rutracker

"Wow I loved that AI generated movie I wonder what these people will do next” nothing they don’t exist they will never wear something crazy to the met gala or go rogue in an interview or have a fascinating break up for you to obsess over, you just watched a screensaver

lol is he trying to make a case for replacing actors with AI? I don’t want to hear about these people’s stupid relationships or what they wore to some party for rich assholes

patriarchy and capitalism were literally invented to get the most unfuckable men on the planet laid

regardless of what that symbol is supposed to represent, it does look like some shit a nazi would come up with

In the words of Jar Jar Binks, “Dissen berry berry bad. Oh! Ick icky goo!”

I want to sincerely love the movie but it’s honestly just really boring lol, I find it impossible to care about a single thing the characters are saying and I kinda zone out every time. The battle of Naboo sucks too, who wants to see a bunch of frogs fight a bunch of droids? It’s a mess. At this point I just enjoy breaking down what went wrong with all the terrible choices Lucas made. And to be clear I’m not hate-watching it or enjoying it “ironically”, I find it genuinely fascinating from a filmmaking perspective, to study how not to make a movie.

I do unashamedly enjoy Attack of the Clones though, even though it has all the same problems as the first one, at least the action scenes are fun in that one, and Natalie Portman wears some pretty dresses. I’m certainly not gonna go around claiming it’s a good movie though.

Yeah it’s probably not actually true, but I’ve convinced myself it is because I can’t cope with the fact that a man would make some of those choices thinking he was making a good movie, my brain won’t accept it

especially when you consider the special editions, it’s hard to believe that man is motivated by anything other than spite
