how can we not talk about family
when family's all that we got?
why would you attempt to watch the three hour long Batman movie if you knew you weren’t going to like it. there are plenty of good 90 minute movies out there. you could watch Airplane, or Attack the Block, or Passenger 57

I’m watching Batman and it’s the most boring movie I’ve seen in years. most boring after dune. what a piece of crap. this is what I mean when I say “how do you stand to watch movies.” I can sit through sorry to bother you or Bergman or Eisenstein or whatever but 90% of movies other people want to watch with me are terrible. at least TV is short and snappy.

2 more hours of poo poo I don’t care about. la la land was better than this because I could hear and see it right.

dune owned waht the gently caress

im not going to bat for the nubat though. it'd maybe get a C+ overall; most of that all from the cinematography/sets.

I liked Dune, but I did fall asleep during the part where they're roaming the desert. Something which never happened during The Northman, which you should see in theaters if you haven't already.

I think it didn’t fit my dune headcanon and it wasn’t out there enough like the lynch one for me to think of it as its own thing. in addition to being long, and having an annoying sound design that had me messing with the volume constantly in order to hear things. I mostly remember this about scenes with music; the soundtrack was mixed way too high relative to the rest to my ears. all this soured me on the movie.

the movie got a little better I hope the riddler wins

e: the car engines are too loud in this movie. cars ruin everything.

sound mixing in all movies is pretty bad to me so i can't hold it against it, but yeah it wasn't great. tenet was probably the worst for mixing that ive seen in recent years, holy hell what a terrible movie

I saw sorry to bother you today as well and I had no problems with the sound there at all, never had to touch the dial even with the music. I saw this in 2018 but it hits different now. the normalization/celebration of the horse stuff reminded me of open Biden.

I work in the film industry and basically

imagine showing up to whatever your job is and how much your mental state is about getting through the day, not getting criticized, and how little passion you have for any of it

that's how a lot of these folk operate. the people making movies & TV don't even watch it. they don't like it. they've seen the godfather and blade runner and they're good with that. they don't have great ideas that they're passionate about. they're phoning it in so they can go home

can you imagine someone directing theater who doesn't go to theater or a musician who just listens to what's on the radio

thats why tarantino, for all his flaws, is really good because he's a huge film dork. also why a lot of A24/annapurna/etc films kick rear end because its poo poo people are doing that they're passionate about even if there's ultimate flaws in the final package. ari aster, robert eggers, nicolas refn, alex garland, rian johnson, taika, coen brothers, safdie bros, etc.

hard to be passionate about Disney/WB/Univeral franchise pig poo poo slop though, no wonder its all phoned in and no one gives a poo poo.

I'm second generation Los Angelino. I can't explain what living here does to a person. But yeah, I see the creation of art the way I see a job at subway. You put poo poo together and shove it out.

It's not like the mass of people who watch film deserve better. They just want a thing to see on Friday or Saturday night, talk about it for a week, and see the next thing. Movies are not made for people living major urban areas.

Having a lot of skills means that you get the job done with less effort as opposed to putting a lot effort into make it great.
Passion takes to long and gets cancelled.

Remember at the beginning of youtube with all the angry bed-room movie reviewers. Those are the people movies are made for.
And bad movie were great. because it gives them endless fodder to poo poo on.

Look at the transformers in the transformers movies. They were billions of dollars of CGI work to make something that looks like poo poo. It blew their minds.

That is the weirdest thing tho. The times have super changed.
A person can make a living off of music form Spotify and youtube views. Like millions of views yet nobody know who the hell they are.

The thing that is sacrificed is the mono-culture. "Everybody" knowing the narrow amount of knowledge called "everything". I used to be able to say, "They sound like if Perl Jam really believed they were being crucified." And everybody would get it, but now ...





Bitter hipster Rant
God loving damnit, do you know what's like to be a bitter f -u- -ck- ing hipster who isn't hip, I mean I'm not-not hip. I mean like easy-street hip, like I should be able to say Dismemberment Plan lyrics at girl o' clock the panties should just magically drop or talk poo poo about how the follow up album from The Arcade Fire is a flipper-baby made from phlegm of Springsteen and the polyphonic spree sucked because the forgot to add the rhythm with the poo poo talking capped off with a Grammy like style fuckin' applause by everybody at starbucks -even the 'art bitch-esque' baristas- for keeping the insult in time with the Cat Power track playing over the speakers only for them to shove an acoustic guitar into my hands to play a "soulful" version of "that's when I reached for my revolver" and suddenly land a record deal that forces me to pay the Steve Albini tax of $2.75 for my country wide trip; but nooooo the loving culture had to breakup into sub-sub-cultures and then everybody started to loving hate music, which is why they all got into loving vaporwaves because they wanted to make sure they couldn't remember what happened, like being d(C)runk without choking down half bottle of vodka and half naked in the street trying lite a copy of some bob dylan record with two lucky strikes lit-up shotgun style as way to piss off the other guy who sounds exactly like me because everybody sounds like everybody else because we are all trying to not sound like an 80's DC punk rock band despite the fact we want to sound like some rip off 80's DC punk band, but trying to play it off like I don't know who the gently caress R.A. Zimmerman because being the king of the hipster poo poo mountain is pretending like you know nothing while knowing everything with all the details of brain surgeon who is trying to cut the all neurons of Wolfmother's woman just in case you gently caress up at a yogurt place a 2 am and think it's Led Zeppelin song, which, -I will have you know- that loving up on that social faux-pas would destroy(er) at least 8 albums worth credibility and then you have painstaking listening to stuff you're apathetic about just because it's the in thing right now on NME and the .001 people in the social group who has listened to Frownland TWICE, they listened to it TWICE! Yet Thou thinks watching a 3 super hero movie you can sleep through most of is some sort pain just to be apart of the counter-mainstream culture! Enjoy these salad day! Because like boa said "you don't seem to understand" that soon enough everybody will be dumping sub-sub-culture movies like they were loving Trap songs with garbage video quality because those movies were made to only appear on smart phones, and you'll be loving every second of it because you won't feel a need to relevant because nobody is relevant and nobody knows where the beef is at.(Note: gently caress going to concerts they're counter productive to being angry at culture)





But yeah the internet is great, and it's good to see a lot people making money, sure the songs aren't the best, but I don't have to care about it. There are a lot good songs just out there, I just have to hope I accidentally come across them.
