I'm not really a fan of Britney Spears but this is the most enraging poo poo I've read in a long time https://www.newyorker.com/news/american-chronicles/britney-spears-conservatorship-nightmare?utm_source=pocket-newtab quote:“Ma’am, my dad, and anyone involved in this conservatorship, and my management, who played a huge role in punishing me when I said no—Ma’am, they should be in jail.” with what's in this long and really infuriating read I'm not inclined to disagree honestly a whole thread could be made about this disgusting ordeal which is still going on

TeenageArchipelago posted:yo hobbs and shaw loving owned the whole transition from it being just before dawn when they started that whole big fight scene at the end to being midday when the helecopter chase happens was so quick it was impossible not to notice it. Then the movie going from clear skies and sunny before they fell off a cliff to pouring down rain after they fell off the cliff so that they could have the climactic fight scene in the rain. I get that this poo poo is common in these types of movies and that noticing it makes me lame but they didn't even try and make the scene transitions blend together to the point that I, someone who genuinely loves braindead movies that I can just sit back and not think about, noticed them it loving owns so hard, there's probably a bunch of other stuff that I had forgotten about that made the movie even better but tbqh I don't remember what it is

was the first Men in Black one of the last of truly liberal fantasies before we switched to neoliberal fantasies? like the idea that secretly behind the scenes Earth is actually a massive refugee camp and we're like among the most moral species in the universe for it is some incredible We Can Remember It for You Wholesale vibes

The best dumb thing about the Tomorrow War is that at the beginning of the movie they make a big deal about how the people being drafted to the future war come from all over the world, it's the first ever international draft with all governments cooperating. The United States Secretary of Defence even gives a speech to Chris Pratt's draftees saying wow you come from all over the world how wonderful. And then literally every character in the movie is American and later on they spend an entire scene just poo poo-talking the rest of the world and saying how only a small group of Americans with no people from other nationalities can save the world, unlike the effeminate United Nations or ineffective foreigners.

the dumbest thing about The Tomorrow War is that they’re apparently drafting scientists to send to the future to aid in research. for seven days. how the gently caress would that be in any way helpful, why not send the future researchers to the past so they aren’t doing high level genetic testing in a loving war zone and could have access to state of the art technology (actually the dumbest thing is that they completely ignore the grandfather paradox until the climax which entirely depends on the grandfather paradox being a thing that exists and that they know about)

Went to Barnes and Noble today because they’re having a 50% off sale on the Criterion Collection. The selection was pretty poo poo but I did get The Passion of Joan of Arc, so that was pretty nice.

do we actually have any big name film comedians anymore kind of funny to think that if you told someone ten years ago that chris pratt would be a big star theyd probably think thats what hes doing and it would also be a significant improvement over whatever the gently caress hes doing right now

Farm Frenzy posted:its interesting that theres tons of low budget horror movies doing well all the time but the formula just doesnt work with comedies in addition to needing big name to headline it, you need a writer who’s actually funny. anyone who can write competently can write a passable horror script but for a comedy you need someone who can write jokes and those people all work on tv shows and tour over the summer. that said there’s a decent amount of low budget comedies they just all get dropped on Netflix and Hulu and they suck so you never hear about them, there’s no “fandom” for those the way there is for horror movies cause even with a bad horror there could be some good stuff (effects, ideas, actors, cinematography, etc) in there. with a bad comedy it’s just bad

studios don't finance comedies because comedy doesn't always translate well to overseas markets and overseas markets are a way bigger share of expected income now than they were in 2008, that's it, that's the whole story

not quite studios produce fewer movies in general despite the market being larger because theyre currently operating on a quality over quantity approach the issue isnt that comedies dont make money its that they dont make money in a way that sets records and thats all anyone cares about now i should note that i am using quality over quantity to describe investment and not aesthetic value obviously making movies more expensive to produce hasnt actually benefited anyone except the ones who are skimming off grift money

comedy in general has changed a lot with the internet too. i myself have posted on this very forum about how traditional jokes (e.g. "donald trump, barack obama, and the pope are on an airplane...") have been totally supplanted by memes and tweets. i can't prove it, but i wonder if it makes a difference that when people want to laugh at something, they can just pull up their instagram feed and watch a 30-second video and enjoy a sensible chuckle rather than shelling out for a stand-up show or a comedy movie. comedy is sort of social media's default genre

Comedy, like laughter, is an act of violence. Ergo, as a responsible curator of culture and a force of societal harmony, Hollywood has worked tirelessly to phase comedy out of American culture. Soon, we shall live in a society without laughter, and therefore, a society without violence. Isn't it wonderful?

Atrocious Joe posted:That's missing Kubrick saying an early Warhammer 40k novel could have been the basis for a movie If Games Workshop was smart they'd adept Caiphas Cain into stone kind of animated show or movie. I think that would be their best chance at mainstream success. I also want to echo that Fast 9 did indeed own, just utterly insane, an excellent choice for a back to theater movie. And I watched Fear Street Part 1 on Netflix yesterday and I think it was really good. It didn't seem to have the same kind if editing problems you see with a lot of Netflix movies. I'm looking forward to part 2
