ITT: movie opinions based on movie advertisements for the circle jerk instead of seeking movie announcements or even, retroactively, awards/nominations. But I get it, you know what the next Superman is going to be so it's easy to have an opinion on it without seeing it whereas the other half of the movies are original... but risky for your use of time.

Cue complaints about rigged awards stealing from better movies without acknowledging it's a showdown between multiple original movies.

Cue complaints about popcorn pricing as if you're forced to eat popcorn and eat popcorn for every home movie

Cue complaints about gross movie theaters as if this is really about the originality of movies instead of a likely attention span issue

I don't know why people complain so much about this, weren't you like against capitalism and mindless consumption?

If you get one of those apps like HBO or Disney plus, you will have like, a catalogue that last years to watch everything

And about the popcorn? Do you realize you can cook that in your home as well right? Now you don't even need oil, with the air fryers

With the advent of Netflix type apps, you can just do movie nights with your family and friends extremely easy, that's a plus if you don't want to spend so much outside

And if you go the selfhost Route, it's even cheaper

So again why the complains?

Raul Julia playing Mr Bison was peak cinema, no one can take away from us

Also Peter Weller playing robocop was peak acting. Dude made everyone feel all sorts of emotions just by lip gesticulation

Because the movie industry wants money and the tubes keep paying to see these -- and don't pay to see complex, challenging, or odd films

RLM just made a pretty good video about this topic: https://youtu.be/I0Jwv40MkiY

the last 2 days have felt like a remake

also way too many prequels

I really want to watch We're All Gonna Die, but there's no way for me to see it and I'd love to support the creators.

Happy Cake Day!
