NieR Occomata posted:There is a common trend in film discourse, specifically film bro discourse (hello Snyder fans) where the movie is poorly made enough but throws enough random bullshit in there that assholes can collect the ideas they like from the movie they watched because it threw everything but the loving kitchen sink in there and praise the movie that they made up in their head and you end up having to argue against a non-existent glorified fancanon. You should consider not being on Twitter.

Failed Imagineer posted:I think in the end it washed its face with the international box office, but no merch or tie-in stuff pretty much means yeah big flop It had a ton of merch, it was just all sold to D&D people instead of your local Walmart's toy aisle. Its box office was also more a victim of bad timing than lack of interest. It had a really strong opening weekend, opening in 1st, but it came out a week before John Wick 4 and two weeks before Mario so it had ZERO legs to it.

Failed Imagineer posted:I listen to the podcast for random chuckles, but their media takes have always been horrendous, and their politics are also heading down the drain since they went full post-Bernie nihilism. I wouldn’t call it nihilism so much as they were kind of jolted back into realizing how little power they had and how little you can expect a podcast to affect change. Chapo may have attracted an audience based on their ideology but they don’t come there for actual organizing, they want to hear jokes and feel a parasocial connection (which is fine as long as you’re self-aware about it.) The episodes of Chapo that were about actual political action, even as little as interviewing a politician about politics, were always the least-listened to. This is still kind of disappointing - I’d appreciate if they’d at least try - but it’s more understandable than just “oh well, Bernie lost, time to give up on leftism.” Also I’m doing the MotM for February and I’m sorry it’s late but it’ll be up soon.

Mordiceius posted:Cruise may be a loving weirdo, but I also have massive respect for him for his angry Covid rant. But I'm also sensitive to that because I spent a couple years working as covid compliance on sets and there are certain groups that are just loving terrible with following the rules and guidelines. So his rant ended up being very cathartic to me. I’m less enthusiastic about this because it was almost certainly a controlled leak by either Paramount or the CoS.

Marketing is stupid bullshit and I have no respect for for a job made to sell art rather than make it. Nepo babies aren’t inherently bad people but it is a systemic problem that people who don’t already know someone who knows someone has a significantly harder time breaking into an artistic career they’re passionate about. Judging Dakota Johnson for poo poo her parents did is loving stupid. Thanks for reading my post.

Just got out of Lisa Frankenstein and thought it was great. What most saw as derivative I saw as deconstructive. This is a movie that criticizes goth culture in a way that only could have come from someone who lived it. Diablo Cody is a good writer gently caress everyone who says she isn’t.

kaworu posted:If anyone is still interested, here’s some pictures of the “Kinonik Studio” where my dad stores and works on the reels, and where he also does screenings every Wednesday night it seems. I was just talking to him about it - they used to do them at this dilapidated old theater in downtown Portland called “The Movies”, and then they were screening at a local art gallery called “Space” for a while, but that apparently wasn’t too functional. Now they screen here, and it sounds like it’s a pretty fun place to watch a movie with 30-40 folks in there together. You should make a thread about this and we can get it in the next SA highlights Pragmatica does.

What are some examples of movies where someone’s great sacrifice isn’t just being willing to die for the greater good, but also die with a disgraced reputation? These are dorky examples but I’m thinking of things like Eddie in Stranger Things 4 or The Boss in Metal Gear Solid 3.

Heavy Metal posted:Any goon takes on Argylle? I know I'm rolling the dice watching this one. Movie night with the gang and whatnot. It's Matthew Vaughn's worst movie. I don't agree with the massive hateboner online for him lately, but it's true he's released three stinkers in a row now with the latest being his biggest, so it's very difficult to defend him now that Layer Cake and Kick-rear end are fifteen-twenty years in the rear view.

That's the other thing, people run off the assumption Vaughn is a conservative and then when I try to dig into why it's always some poo poo that they read into his movies. Everything seems to indicate to his politics being as jumbled and unconsidered as most average people's are. I understand the Vaughn hate lately because his whole thing is that he's supposed to be very technically competent and Argylle and The King's Man just aren't, I just remember the days when they were. Watching the oil skating scene in Argylle and the church fight in Kingsman 1 is like night and loving day. Part of this is because Argylle was heavily reshot and the main twist of the film was originally not a twist at all, just part of its premise, but the other part is casting Bryce Dallas Howard as an action hero, which is on Vaughn as just an inherently horrible idea.

Baby Driver and Last Night in SoHo’s biggest problems are mostly in their third acts, I heavily suspect BD’s ending was rewritten as a studio mandate for being too sad or something. I try to defend Wright because I think Hot Fuzz is like one of the top three comedies ever made but it’s getting increasingly difficult to do as he’s made three bad movies in a row now.

Nobody’s reading the full article because it’s behind a paywall but it goes on to state that nudity in movies has gone up while sexual content has gone down. It’s an extension of the Everyone is Beautiful and No One is Horny mindset.

Because sex is part of life, any art that's honest about humanity is going to include it, and the continued elimination of sexual content in the arts mostly serves right-wing puritanical values aided by a misguided notion that Hollywood has "lost the right" to sexual content post-MeToo - which, again, isn't even being served because as the article states, there's more nudity than ever but no actual sex, so it's not like actresses stopped getting exploited. We're not even talking about specifically sex scenes here, we're talking sexual content - an entire aspect of human life being shut out of the plots and characterization of movies because at some point somebody watched a movie with their dad.feedmyleg posted:Of course, when done well they're also all powerful emotional cinematic tools. There's nothing inherently wrong with a sex scene, but there were a ton of movies in previous decades, especially the 80s and 90s, where the story more or less gets put on pause for a boring softcore porn break. Name some.
