All of those trailers actually feel like they were made by fans instead of professionals.
The first runner up was good, but homages to 80s movies are pretty overdone at this point.

Considering some of the garbage trailers that come out for even big movies, it's no surprise that they chose a mediocre trailer as the winner.



I guarantee you there were a bunch of entries that were "good trailers" and they immediately got flushed.



Nobody wants to start the dialogue that anybody can cut trailers, no no only us PROS can do that. So here's a lovely amateur trailer that has some weird moments and we'll award first place to them and make sure everybody sees how impossible a task my job really is! Because we wouldn't want people to know that

Currently the hardest part of my job is the cold war going on in the building I'm in with Disney employees on the second floor and Fox employees on the first floor and they're doing things like no longer stocking coffee in our break rooms and our key cards not working on doors anymore. It's petty as hell.

I know a post house that spent tens of thousands on security upgrades that Disney demanded before they handed over the show they wanted them to work on, then took it somewhere else when they got a better rate. Things are kinda bleak out there.

Lionsgate tried to do that to the post house I was working at, so they got a quote from a local security company and sent it to the studio. They stopped asking for maglocks and FOB readers on every office door after that.

Are we finally going to get a legitimately good Lovecraft adaptation? After At the Mountains of Madness was binned I had pretty much given up hope on it ever happening.


Although, I guess I can’t complain too much since there have a been a few good Lovecraft adjacent movies over the years like The Lair of the White Worm, In the Mouth of Madness (I have a special love for this one), and The Void.

The Resurrected is, no lie, a great adaptation of The Case of Charles Dexter Ward directed by Dan O'Bannon.

while I agree with this in a real-life context, I also think the idea of it is actually... a weirdly good hook for a horror movie?

like, not being able to trust the reality you live in is a pretty basic and deep fear for most people, and any halfway decent filmmaker would be able to get some mileage out of that

Except for the fact that silicon valley chuds use 'we're living in a simulation' as an excuse to exert awful fygm capitalist poo poo over the rest of society. It's like some sort of acid-flashback nihilist philosophy that's compatible with zen fascism for people that are more comfortable looking at a command line than a human face.

There's a meta joke about this video. This is the second time Erik uploaded it after the first time a couple of years ago, and it's mostly the same but with some subtle changes. In conclusion, Mandela done hit us with his moon laser again.

You're right. It's not dimension shifting, it's a glitchy simulation. If you didn't make it to the end of the trailer, you're in for a treat.

I think the Mandela effect got it's name when kids who were perifieraly aware of the news heard about Mandela all the time because he was released from prison and confused it with a world leader dying, and then he later died

i think you're sort of underestimating how many people are afraid of going crazy

like think about why all this fake-news poo poo and the idea of a "post-truth" society and etc has people spooked

it's an extremely abstract fear, and a product of the modern world rather than caveman poo poo, but i'm pretty sure being unable to trust your own perception is a thing a very wide swath of people are scared shitless by
