    I mean, I don’t think people take in account the role of Hollywood and the imperialist pig dog empire of Yankee land. Hollywood serves a purpose for the imperialist. They push around the artist and tell them to dance for pennies. And everybody’s on the casting couch getting fondled by rich men. We live in the world of the lowest common denominator, and as time progresses and the Empire decays, the movies will just turn to shit. These submissive libturds and right wing pigglet Yankees will just keep buying this crap and their children each generation, each iteration will become dumber and dumber Not aware that they are becoming dumber. Most of anything in our society is low-effort slop for premium price. Yankee Land hates art and artist. I do welcome this era though, because for me avoiding subscription services is like walking and chewing gum or shall we say, just taking a shit. It has become a natural process for me. Also, I’m not as distracted as I used to be and so, most of my time is filled with learning new skills. I mean, they should put more effort into movies. That was the whole point. It was to distract us from the horrors of the American reality. I truly do welcome their use of AI in movies. I am an accelerationist in this avenue. Keep on going, bud. See what happens. It is all just slop, absolute slop and I have no intentions of spending money with these people. It has gotten so fucking bad that I dont even pirate anything. Like sitting down with a piece of paper and a pencil drawing is more titillating than going to the cinema. Also, Linux fulfills all of my needs. Why would I ever pay for an operating system that acts like spyware. It’s kind of like an indicator telling us that Yankee Land is desperate and running out of tricks funds. Now Yankee Land, I think is somewhat aware of this. And so that’s why they’re coming for open source. There are angels out there. People that are just doing the good work, you know? It’s so easy to just stop watching movies. And, you know, I don’t want to think I’m just like a boomer or what not but the movies from back in the day are way better. Hollywood also served the purpose of framing or giving this perception of what American life is like. But now that the veil’s been removed and we’re like in a depression era and the rest of world sees us as a violent entity, who is a threat to all of humanity… it seems nobody’s interested anymore. Like, if you’re around a bunch of dildos and you’re saying to them, hey, you’re getting fucked and they say, well, you’re paranoid tinfoil hat, man… What I’m really trying to say is I’m just excited. I like seeing things fall apart that should fall apart. And what is Hollywood’s response? Streaming. Give me a break. Even streaming is terrible. It’s so easy and I mean so easy for a refined person who is sophisticated, who desires quality to avoid American propaganda. Anyways, I’m just glad. I’m actually am glad. It’s a good thing. It’s a very good, very good thing. Death to the Empire. Also, one more thing. I think we fail to recognize the very, very close relationship between the department of defense and Hollywood. Like, even in the military, they have subscription services. We’ve privatized all of our intellectual property. So, the government doesn’t even really own the military equipment. And we’re just getting milked, baby. I mean just look at the F 35. It’s a piece of shit. Also, you know, the Yankee swung Dick and bullied Europe into increasing its defense spending. Europe was like, okay, and then America was like, now you have to buy my F-35 and they were like, nah, we don’t want that subscription shit. I mean everything that these business turdz and soldier boyz do is just coming back to fuck them. I mean, if you’ve had your ear on the ground long enough and you watch the patterns, it’s funny seeing these people look stupid and fail. It’s happening. It really is and they’re fucking up in all avenues. It’s just so goddamn easy to not buy slop. I could stare at the wall and be more entertained. I’m of the persuasion of you just don’t have kids, you know. My line is choosing to exit out of existence and I smile at the thought of the American Empire ripping itself apart. My hatred of imperialism is so great. It’s so great. 24-7. All day, every day. Every moment that has led up to this to now has been a waste of time. This was always the precipice that we were all going to find ourselves in if you’re not a stupid monster. Living in the process is cruel, but what are you gonna do? There won’t be angels, I’ll tell you that. But there won’t be dumb shit either. I embrace the abyss. I lean into it. I dive into it. Head Over Heels. I’d giggle thinking about the Democrat Party. Or Wokeism. Which is basically the establishment co-opting the left-wing people’s movements and filling their brains with nonsense getting them distracted with low-level priorities instead of focusing on the fiscal realities of our current situation. America was never a democracy. And what little protections we had are gone now. America is like Disneyland with a mixture of North Korea where you are not allowed to leave and you forgot your wallet. It’s a small world after all. It’s a small world after all. When you wish upon a star, it makes a difference who you are. Because when you wish upon a star, you’re talking to the sky.

    They’re doing 90s and post 2000s remakes now . See Lilo and Stitch and How to Train your Dragon remakes with 3d and live action incorporated that nobody asked for. I think originality in film and tv is also disappearing, along with many other things heading towards extinction these days

        In an ideal world, investors (and big shareholders) would be interviewed to see if they’re committed to the thing they’re investing on. “Have millions make me billions” or being a nepo baby shouldn’t be valid reasons. This is why every thing they touch converges to enshittification.

    The best stuff at a cinema is rarely plastered all over the front, that’s just advertising for people who don’t really care about movies.

    Also if your area is like mine, look for the smaller cinemas that screen the new oddities and forgotten classics

      I’m not a big movie theater guy, but I do enjoy heading to the local Alamo Drafthouse occasionally because they have terror Tuesday and weird Wednesday. Then near Halloween it’s like a full day of horror.

      Depends on your town. I live in a small tourist town with one cinema and they only play the biggest hits, focusing on the lowest common denominator. I mean, I’m not even sure they screened Sinners, but they definitely played The Minecraft Movie in 4 (out of 14) theaters for months. If I want to go to a different cinema, I have to drive 45 minutes to get to the next town (where the selection still sucks, but at least they’ve got more screens) or 75 min to get to the closest independent theater.

      Exactly, support your independent theatre’s, they are usually run by people who care about cinema and they have more shows for older classics and modern indies and foreign movies

      Get down to 6 Bags Cinema in Victorville. The aircon isn’t great but shows nothing but popcorn classics.

      Wes Anderson movies are both original and not at all original. The stories are original, but the style is always the same. That said, I love his style, but recently his movies have almost parodies of themselves. I haven’t enjoyed his latest stuff.

      And it is setting up to be a box office flop. Wes Anderson is apparently the only one who is allowed to make original scripts and even that seems to be wearing thin.

        Judging movies by how much money they made some executive is the most uninteresting and capitalist way of thinking about films and stories.

          The conversation is literally why these movies don’t get made. And it’s because the average movie viewer is uncultured swine who wants to turn their brain off for two hours.

          I honestly don’t see any AES countries spending big money on art pieces either.

    I would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone to go watch the movie Sinners. Reward the artists.

      I’d love to see a prequel leading to how the hell did Lucius and Narcisa Malfoy got married. How did they date? How did the families get along?

      I bet my bottom dollar it was hilarious as fuck

      I’m sure Adam Sandler could play Lucius dad

    This is just so inaccurate. Sometimes it’s 90’s reboots and remakes with talking animals, too.

    Because the movie industry wants money and the tubes keep paying to see these – and don’t pay to see complex, challenging, or odd films

      I remember when trailer were a big deal. People went to see a movie they didn’t care for just for the trailer. I haven’t watched a trailer for like 15 years and it’s nice when they don’t tell you the whole movie before you saw it.
