It's definitely a compromised model I ain't denying that.

The model is indeed hideous but I agree that you should be responding to Lego or Sega or whatever, and not just some dude who worked on the lego sets.

I think it's just something that every critic does sooner or later in their career, because they get so convinced of their own ability to judge something that they stop thinking of the people who put effort into their creations.

It's also a bizarre blind spot for production realities from a critic who built their brand on labor reporting.

To be clear I'm not defending the artistic perfection of Burger Head Robotnik and I'm not cancelling James Stephanie Sterling forever for some unforgivable social crime. I'm just tired of how they conduct themselves online, especially when they have an opportunity to get in a sick dunk or start a fire with groups of people they have established disdain for. It's either an obnoxious insincere performance for the sake of #content and #engagement, or it's sincere contempt over basically nothing.

On a slightly more on topic shift, since a few days ago the whole 'you've gotta support/not support a movie for moral reasons' thing was brought up, we've finally reached a stage of that discourse where now you simply must see all movies or you're why film is dying https://twitter.com/metaplexmovies/status/1607552126724472834 For reference in case you don't know Babylon, it's a major studio project with A-list stars complete with the typical near instant first look deal with the director before it even released and all, which is all 100% normal movie stuff like any Marvel or other big budget action movie type thing would get. It's also pretty generic self indulgent 'film industry history drama' that you can get lots of places so it's pretty funny to hold this one up as one with SOMETHING TO SAY, MAN.

Though I guess The Fablemans is at least Spielberg doing an autobio pic AND a "No, gently caress YOU Dad!" movie at the same time, so it might have a teensy amount of worth to it that the other two don't.

DC Murderverse posted:There’s a difference between “you have to go see this or else” and “don’t mock the people still trying to make something interesting when it fails” the point is more that nobody's really 'celebrating' it flopping but rather he's conflating anyone going 'yea this movie probably deserved to flop, seems bad' with people cheering it on.

Didn't see the OP of that thread talk about how maybe releasing a 3 hour long original film against Avatar 2 was an incredibly dumb move. It's like when Horizon Forbidden West came out against Elden Ring, you knew what the result was going to be

Babylon had an absolutely terrible ad campaign that told you nothing about the movie. Just that it was an old timey movie spectacle starring Pitt and Robbie.

Same with Empire of Light. Especially the part where the voice over is like "Olivia Coleman delivers a powerhouse performance at the top of her game" and then shows a clip of her incoherently drunken scream-crying where you can't understand a single word she's saying. And it's like, wait, that's the BEST clip you had?

Hollywood isn't going to stop making movies about Hollywood. There is no genre more secure in its future, besides possible super heroes.

Alaois posted:Thats what i assume its about, the trailers give me no actual info about the movie so i'm forced to fill in the pieces myself The wiki's first paragraph quote:In Los Angeles in the Roaring Twenties, Manuel "Manny" Torres, a Mexican immigrant and aspiring filmmaker, works odd jobs peripheral to the burgeoning silent film industry. Manny helps transport a loose-boweled elephant to a debauched party at Kinoscope Studios executive Don Wallach's mansion, where he crosses paths with Nellie LaRoy, a brash, ambitious aspiring starlet from New Jersey, and is quickly smitten with her. As they share their dreams, Manny reveals his wish to be part of something bigger, while Nellie declares herself a star. The bacchanalia features copious nudity, sex, cocaine, and a little person on a phallic-shaped pogo stick. While the elephant walks through the ballroom, distracting partygoers, Manny helps carry away Jane Thornton, a young actress who overdosed on drugs during a perverse sexual encounter with obese actor Orville Pickwick. Oh boy Seems like critics basically all said "what the gently caress" to it, liking how well it was shot, but pretty sure it wasn't written with any point in mind or with any idea where it was going.

It is always amazing to watch really famous actors put on old-tymme clothes and fart around for, Jesus, three hours about how great and important it is to make movies.

I first heard of Babylon from reading the AV Club's best of the year list. Avatar 2 was also on that list, so now I'm wondering if I'll bother checking in with them next year.nine-gear crow posted:Same with Empire of Light.
