Day for Night, Millennium Actress, Contempt Or more metaphorically. Blow Out, Three Colors:Red, Blow Up, Boogie Nights All the movies that are Hollywood sucking Hollywood off for how great Hollywood is can gently caress right off though

Film Twitter is just a vehicle for scolding people for watching or not watching certain films - differing opinions on films are not just differing opinions they must always be held up as evidence of some sort of societal or moral decline. It's also there for people to endlessly pontificate, argue and draw battle lines about the worth of films they've not actually seen. It is bad.

I used to lurk on an animation industry forum in the 2000s and the last straw for me was when people would get performatively angry if you didn’t commit to seeing Everybody’s Hero, the CG film where Whoopi Goldberg plays a talking bat with human lips Because if you didn’t, you were killing animation This sounds like a bit I’m doing but it was entirely real

Living in Oblivion is hilarious and an absolute must-watch. It's not nearly the most famous movie about making movies, but it's always the one that comes to mind first for me. Of course, that one's also not Hollywood at all. ED: Huh, I didn't actually know until now that it's Peter Dinklage's first credit.

Just reminded of a '01 Chinese movie called Big Shot's Funeral, where Donald Sutherland played a director who was doing a remake of The Last Emperor but fell into a coma midway. Before that he told his assistant he wanted a "comedy funeral" so they turned the whole thing into major sponsored event where every part of his body was going to have adverts, etc but he didn't die and recovered. I don't know if this can be found (il)legally anywhere now but i remember it was good save for ending at a whimper rather than a bang https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aJR9w8ILys

DoctorWhat posted:In 2022 trading is so low-friction that if it's a scam, it's one of the least effective scams of all time. Here's a video I saw recently that covers how, specifically in gen three, it went from just "hey, trade with your friends!" to becoming a sprawling nightmare. Basically; Gen 3 was where they dropped the "Gotta catch 'em all" tagline, and in the first two gens all you really needed was a friend or two with the other version. Swap your pokemon or trade or whatever, and there you go since you could trade freely with red and blue. But in Gen 3 that became highly improbable because you couldn't trade backwards with the previous two generations, and your pokedex would be filled with massive holes since you would find trainers using the old pokemon and stuff throughout the game. Eventually they released the remakes, Leaf Green and Fire Red. But you could only trade between the remakes and ruby and sapphire effectively after you beat the game. So even if all you're doing is just trading with a friend, and your friend has the versions you don't; that's a lot of work for the two of you. Especially since neither of you still would be able to complete your pokedexes since the post-game content in leaf green and fire red each lets you pick between one starter and one legendary dog, as well as one gen 2 starter. So you'll either need a third friend, or one of you is going to have to play the whole game over again. But you still won't effectively be able to get some pokemon, like Lugia and Ho-oh without either going to events or buying one of the gamecube spinoffs and a GBA to gamecube link cable. And that's not even getting into the gen 3 legendaries which were almost all locked behind events, e-reader cards or spinoff games. Gen 3 and 4 were really bad about this poo poo, and it wasn't until Black and White went with the soft reboot approach that it began to lighten up again, though it still had a touch of it, and it only began to soften even more thanks to how much easier online trading and connecting has become, replacing a lot of live events with just driving past a gamestop with spotpass enabled.

I still have the DS addon that I had to connect to my PC to even connect my gen4 game to the internet. Let me tell ya, that online trading hub still is pandemonium. Thousands of people asking to trade their Pidgeys for Mews. fun hater posted:make the next knives out entirely muppets except for the obvious villain and benoit blanc and i will forgive hollywood for everything I do love that the villain of the recent movie was so obviously the top suspect that he escaped notice because he would have to be extremely dumb to make those murders. And he actually was that stupid. Bonus points for making Ben Shapiro seethe.

Babylon and The Fabelmans both rule hard and it's a shame they're both flopping. A Spielberg flop would have been unthinkable pre-pandemic but now he's had two in a row. The current state of affairs with the box office sucks more than usual!

The Fabelmans was a good example of a self indulgent movie that's good at least, yea. Like, it is a bit of a self suck but it's made better by being a self suck by Steven loving Spielberg so at least it's high quality. Plus as eye rolly as 'Steven Spielberg makes a movie about Not-Steven Spielberg' can be at least to his credit near everyone asked about it did go 'oh yea that's legit we did know he was a gifted filmmaker pretty much from the start' so I guess we can't fault a guy for being a genuine prodigy who knew how to use art to express himself fairly early on.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOHfbDnkPEI This channel doesn't seem to be discussed much here, but Just Write just published an analysis of the Foundation show, which in addition to being a good analysis of the show, also reveals which movie most successfully adapted a work by Asimov. I am willing to bet that it is not whichever one you are thinking of (the ending twist is incredible).

So if they ever did make Oscar bait about that scandal they'd be making a movie vying for the attention of the group founded to take away attention from the scandal. edogawa rando posted:What are the good movies about movies?

stillvisions posted:The Academy Awards were started as a way of the industry trying to put their distinguished face on and regain public image in the wake of that scandal. As one of the extremely small number of people who saw Babylon, I can confirm that it does feature a scene that is very clearly inspired by Fatty Arbuckly and Virginia Rappe (though in the movie the actress dies of an OD, not any form of trauma). The movie is clearly heavily inspired by the book Hollywood Babylon, but doesn't actually have any D.W. Griffith-types in it like you would expect from the trailer. It's also completely insane. As I put it in the RLM thread: LanceHunter posted:Babylon is glorious trash, basically this year’s House of Gucci. I’m already planning on seeing it again with my friend who goes with me to these kinds of disasters. It’s too long, but also it is also trying so goddamned hard every single second that you feel like you’re watching a manic child on a playground trying his absolute hardest to impress you. Then in the end the kid manages to set the entire playground on fire while making GBS threads himself and repeatedly falling on his face.
