Spoiler

Masturbation scenes, "Patman" imagining sex with a mermaid and Patman avoiding a gush of semen from Dafoe...

 

Forget it.

Not watching this trailer, want to go in totally surprised.

Is the movie supposed to be super esoteric like Suspiria? It looks creepy and stuff sure, but is there some super non-GA/arthouse-audience-friendly stuff in there?

Villeneuve's new muse. That's automatic cinephile approval.

This sounds like it makes Suspiria look like a Blumhouse affair. $200m dom on the cards? 🤔

My 2035 bold prediction :

 

 

"Remember that time when Hollywood thought Robert Pattinson was a good actor and a movie star ?"

 

Good times.

I can't tell what's gonna be more insufferable: your hot-takes when Tenet opens or your hot-takes when Batman opens.

There's nothing remotely audience friendly in this movie. 

 

The Vulture review spoils some of the movie's crazy stuff

I agree. It looks like an interesting film, but it chances of being a hit are about zero. It's a very low budget film so it might actually make a little profit. but as to being a film with mass appeal...forget it.

Even a lot of horror buffs might not be attracted to this. A bit to estotaric for them.

ANyway, Dafoe always does crazy well....

If any distributor is going to take a mainstream-unfriendly horror release wide and just take their chances with word-of-mouth, it's A24. The Witch picked up enough of a following that they could probably still find a solid niche audience in wide release, a la Midsommar last month.

[Valonqar]

The Lighthouse is gonna win a bucketload of critics awards and Indie Spirits. It's televised awards where things get tough cause it really isn't ASPAS catnip based on Vulture spoiler talk. But fingers crossed for Patz to get tided over by critic wins assuming they back him up.

[The Futurist]

A24 produces, with good quality control, factory entertainment for the elites of the coasts.

Good for them.

They know how gulible their audience is.

In short, The A24 formula.

i think you should just add as a signature. "i'm inexplicably bitter about people liking indie movies, or anything i don't care for really. they're all bourgeois fools... yes, i am very secure, why do you ask?". it would save you from writing 50 of these posts a month.

I think we would be surprised from time to time, movie big on a coast isn't necessarily on the other coast either, at least in tractable online activity it can be quite regional diverse.
