Their run is nuts rn. PTA, Cruise AND Coogler already

Conversely - it being a Chalamet/Zendaya vehicle surely makes it no more geeky than most blockbusters, no? I feel like it’s broken through into the zeitgeist… we’ll see how it opens! Exciting times!

Can’t be worse than I, Frankenstein. Almost definitely can’t be worse than the Max Landis one

The only thing men these days think about is the Roman Empire, so I guess this is guaranteed to be a winner

Who wins July - this or Superman?

DiscussingFilm is the only account i follow for film so I’m using their comments section as a census

Neon lit dinos with cornball jokes incoming. I’m sure twitter will call this the greatest movie ever made like they did with bullet train haha

Has anyone here seen The Ring by Wagner in person? Do they even still stage productions of that anymore??

I did a class in college about the history of holocaust in film & literature, and one of the things we learnt was that it's impossible to make an effective holocaust movie because it will always inherently be entertainment first & foremost by the very nature of the medium; the only real exception they highlighted was Shoah, the 9 hour documentary. By presenting this story as an almost esoteric art-piece, Glazer sidesteps a lot of these concerns and makes something truly powerful imo. It’s a movie that asks a lot from you, but it only makes the payoff that much more harrowing

Speaking of streaming vs film, the new Dong Lover Mr. & Mrs. Smith is really great. If anyone wanted to see a spy rom-com this weekend, they’d probably just stay home and watch that, haha.

Just got out of Zone of Interest - WOW! Jonathan Glazer has such a striking command of the cinematic form, using the tools of the medium in such a deeply affecting way. Shades of Come & See (sonically more so than visually) and ofc Eichmann in Jerusalem. 2023 really did spoil us, so I guess 2024 is gonna be the come down for me to catch up on my other hobbies since the film slate looks so poor

I think the issue is most movie discourse online revolves around children’s entertainment, so a lot of the angriest & loudest voices will be children. You don’t really see people getting into flame-wars over Zone of Interest on twitter haha

A super bowl spot would BLOW UP for this. Would easily be the most talked about movie if they air one

Cavill needs his own Conan (barbarian, but maybe hosting a late night talk show for the reddit crowd could be a big hit too)

Wolf of Wall Street has had more cultural staying power than pretty much any cbm of the last decade haha

Ha?

The castings for this haven’t been as out of the box and cool as the ones were for Reeves’ Batman, but each one was still a pretty easy home-run (almost the exact opposite of the Snyder castings lol)

Says a lot about the state of the world today, doesn’t it

Read Mediations over Christmas and it only just dawned on me that Aurelius' son was Joaquin from Gladiator hahahah

Is Nolan gonna Norbit his Oscar chances with this???

I think he might…

You have a crazy amount of faith in this movie considering you’re normally an even bigger cynic than me haha

Cooper’s best performance will always be coked out John Peters in Licorice Pizza

I meant flash hahaha

They snubbed the greatest superhero movie of all time too, can't forget
