the thing is, most people don’t. Movie buffs are a minority, the casual viewers flock to what they know, which is exactly why there are only sequels and reboots. It wouldn’t be like that if it wasn’t making them tons of money.
False. Star Wars viewing drove off a cliff when their sequels sucked.
There is a 1-2 sequel movies buffer until the drop off starts when the quality is consistently bad.

That doesn’t make anything they said false. What you said just means that quality still matters, eventually.
People like sequels to stuff they liked. When it sucks they will not like it anymore. Brand loyalty is heavily oversold in Hollywood. Which is the real reason why theaters are bombing. It all sucks.
The Substance. Go see it.
My wife was on board until the ending.
Nimona. Definitely watched it legally on Netflix.
I saw Here at the movie theater.
It was excellent
I watched The Substance via streaming alone on my birthday night because my wife and partner aren’t into body horror. I loved it! It was really good. Definitely one of the better movies I’ve seen this year.
The last movie I watched in cinema was deadpool & wolverine. Before that was Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets.
And that’s all, I don’t watch movies in cinema. Mostly because closest cinema for me is 103km away.
Normally just watch pre 2010 movies.
Shrek on VHS

Make good movies.
Best I can do is safe and unimaginative with lots of marketing and a big cast of overpaid actors past their prime.
Watch “The Wild Robot”.
Why?
It’s actually good and not some remake.
Where can I see it?
Legally on Apple TV or Amazon. Or DVD Blue Ray
Illegally any where.
I legally pay for both of those, so I’ll help subsidize it for others.
It was so much better than I thought it was going to be.
Market it properly. I’ll watch. The way they marketed movies like Transformers One, or the utter failure that was The Fall Guy, I can’t even fathom why they would choose to market it that way…
I saw the TV glow, The Wild Robot, The Substance, Fallen Leaves, Kinds of Kindness.
Swap out The Wild Robot and Fallen Leaves for Beau is Afraid and We’re All Going to the World’s Fair and you have my list, nice
Beau is Afraid was really good, but fuck it was stressful. Like “Anxiety: The Movie”. I have “We’re all going to the world fair” in the downloads folder waiting for being on the mood for it.
How would you rank these movies and TV show?
All of them pretty good in their own style, “I saw the TV glow” is the name of the movie, strange film, used a lot of terror film language but never got there, like it tried to be scary but not really just tension. I like it mainly for how strange it was, in a positive way. (Forgot to mention that I also watched Megapolis, that was also really strange but in a bore way)
Kinds of Kindness probably my favorite because is the Yargos I was missing in Poor Thighs and The Favorite.
I’m not into kids animation, so The Wild Robot, is my least favorite of them, but was entertaining.
Fallen Leaves was a cute film, not a lot of things happening, with a slow rhythm, typical European film festival movie if you’re into that.
The Substance, is fantastic, really reccomend it, even if you don’t enjoy body horror, is not that bad that you couldn’t watch. I think people are trying to see way over the message of the movie because it just too obvious, and some people need a deeper message.I saw the Tv glow is horror for queer people. If ur cishet it won’t hit the same
Tap for spoiler
It’s about failing to recognize yourself as trans an the inherent terror of living in a body that feels like a prison
Banshees of Inishirin.
Story of a friendship going sour and one guy having trouble moving on. Some great acting. A dark comedy. Quite refreshing from the Hollywood schlock that is typically in our local thestre
This movie sticks with me. Such a brutal, dark, nasty movie, and it made me realize Colin Ferrell had actual acting talent. I’d never seen him in anything before and had this impression that he was just a pretty boy, kinda like McConaughey used to be.
Like, I completely get why Colm wanted to cut Pádriac off, he was so dull. But he was also so open-hearted, and so I empathized with both characters.
When Pádraic follows the trail of fingers… you know the scene I mean. I lost it, just fucking bawled my eyes out. That movie pulled no punches. It was amazing but I never want to watch it again.
Yep, the film has you empathize with both sides of their story. I though the actor playing the town simpleton did such a spectacular job too, just the right amount of quirk and lack of focus in his eyes.
“Original” as in it has original ideas, or “original” as in it’s not part of an established franchise? If it’s the latter, I saw The Wild Robot in theaters. It was okay. A bit by-the-numbers, and I’m not sure everything made total sense, but it’s a kid’s movie so that was to be expected.
If the former, then, uh… Problemista? Also in theaters. I really liked that one.
The boy and the Heron, in a small local theatre
Stop cramming activism into everything and we won’t hate the garbage you keep making.
John Wick was an awesome series of movies.
Damsel was horrible.
One of those IPs was a good story about a guy fighting against a lot of powerful stuff, the other was constant virtue signaling straight out of the lifetime network from 15 years ago “men are bad and will hurt you”
Sorry, all I heard there was “WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!”

Good to know you’re incapable of understanding the substance of what people say.
John Wick was an awesome series of movies.
They’d burned through the premise badly inside the first two films. And that’s before you read it as Equilibrium with the serial numbers filled off.
Which is a shame. All that money on effects and direction and talent. Nobody thought to hire a screenwriter worth a shit to make any of the theatrics meaningful.
Lol that’s some serious cherry picking my dude. One is one of the best action movies of the last 20 years and launched a franchise. The other is a middling coming of age story made for streaming. There are plenty of bland action movies just as bad as Damsel and without an ounce of activism that come out every year. Try comparing it to Get Out, Everything Everywhere All At Once, Mad Max Fury Road, hell even Inglorious Basterds might be considered activism now that fascism is back in fashion.
Must be a cowardly existence to be made to feel ideologically fragile by just watching a movie lol
That might mean your belief system doesn’t hold up to any scrutiny whatsoever but hey, maybe it’s the one time in history that someone was offended by questions about their beliefs for a reason other than they’re a trash fire.

Is that some kind of projection?
Yes when I watch a movie that hints at a progressive idea, I break my television in anger and then I cry
just like many of the democrat voters did when Trump won.
These comments scream little dick energy. How’s that cummins running?
