LanceHunter posted:A modern-day Gidget with, like, Zendaya in the lead role and Jacob Elordi & Timothée Chalamet as the romantic rivals would sell so many loving tickets to the zoomers that Sony Pictures would be able to buy Disney. If you're trying to appeal to zoomers, drop the romantic rivals. They're just three completely platonic friends who hang out and have really long discussions about the patriarchy and never gently caress at all.

My brother and his wife watch Euphoria (using my Max subscription), and he told he that he could tell the show was written by guys in their 40s when one of the Halloween episodes had this high school student in 2020 who was dressed up as Patricia Arquette's character from True Romance.

Rageaholic posted:I think the Oscars are a complete joke, but I still enjoy watching as many of the Best Picture nominees as I'm able to. Half of the ones this year are movies I've thought were incredible. Yea, the nominees are generally very good movies. Not 100%, but most of them are worth a viewing.

Not 100%, but most of them are worth a viewing. 2023 was particularly strong though, seems like only one of them is an honest-to-god stinker. meanwhile the ratio for the previous three decades has been more like 60% at best. look at 2021: coda (winner), belfast, don't look up, drive my car, dune, king richard, licorice pizza, nightmare alley, power of the dog, west side story. 5 of those are just utter trash. blah blah blah covid yeah shut up, take any year in the 90s and aughts and tell me at least a quarter aren't crap

It's a bit harder in the 90s, since there were only 5 nominees, so to be under 25% stinkers you'd need to only have one dud on the list. I'd say the years that might qualify are: 1994 - Schindler's List, The Piano, In the Name of the Father, The Fugitive, and The Remains of the Day 1995 - Four Weddings and a Funeral, Quiz Show, Pulp Fiction, Shawshank Redemption, Forrest Gump (this year does get a demerit because the one true dud managed to walk away with the oscar)

The showrunner threw away the 'just showing the things modern high school kids go through' cover when his follow up show fired all the women in the writing room who tried to tone down the graphic exploitation angle.

Catching up - Enjoyed the trivia episodes, but Jay needs to shuffle the deck, so that the questions are about more than two episodes. Either that or the cards are just about those few episodes? Tim got the biggest laugh out of me with "Okay Mr. Zig" confusing Mike, and making him explain "Yeah, Dan Zig."

I don’t think it’s that the zoomers hate porn or whatever, but that for some reason they see sex as needing to be totally isolated from everything else. Like you can’t have fun space adventure that also has sensuality, because wanting to have sex in something = porn, thus you’re a “porn addict” Like an over correction from the days of titties being the main selling point of movies.

I actually agree with the Gen Zs most of the time on sex in films. It's almost always bad and can be done better with just a fade to black or whatever. 99% of the time it's just pointless runtime.

Recently watched Oldboy with a couple guys who had never seen it or heard what it was about before and I’m so glad I got to see their expressions during the sex and then during the ending. I was truly blessed.

I haven't done this in years, but when I used to go to midnight showings of The Room in theaters, hearing the reactions to the sex scenes from people around me was always a delight.

Gutcruncher posted:It was bad enough having the mini marshmallow men in the last movie, and the trailer has them AGAIN!? Listen, it's just an objective, scientific fact that everyone loved Slimer. We know how well it went with The Real Ghostbusters production company being told "always more Slimer" until the show was all Slimer, all the time that it led to never before seen levels of popularity, but we need something hot and new for the modern youngsters, so we need a kind of Slimer 2. Mini Stay Pufts are the obvious solution to this foolproof plan.
