Let it happen. They are in for a rude awkening. Not that it matters. If anything, Trumpers (and Republicans in general) love that suffering if it means gays and illegals and whatever suffer even worse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead ass serious. I mean you obviously weren't dead ass serious saying you wanted studios to stop investing in small budget movies. And if you were then I don't really know why you're continuing to despair. But I'm not really interested in getting bogged down in a semantics debate when there are clearly much deeper personal perspective issues here. It's not saying anything new at this point but I honestly do find it pretty easy to tune everything out moderating my social media intake. I still keep up with the news and feel pretty informed, but I don't really think my life is enriched much knowing about whatever the latest bad thing Trump said was and all the reactions to it. Nothing I can do about the election or the polls right now and it's a beautiful day outside, so I'm gonna try to enjoy what I can while I have it.

titanic2187 Posted Saturday at 06:27 PM Share Posted Saturday at 06:27 PM Finally some satisfying hold for TWR. Should now seal the deal of finishing above migration. We live in time has a great limited opening, probably finish around Priscilla number. The movie is great I heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Gittes Posted Saturday at 06:51 PM Share Posted Saturday at 06:51 PM 1 hour ago, Cmasterclay said: I actually do think major things were working against both Saturday Night and Apprentice, but it's the fact that everything fails as always that gets to me. Like, Conclave has 15 million trailer views and is an incredibly accessible thriller. Back in the days of King's Speech making 120m domestic, it would have done at least like....50m. Now it won't even do 20. Because back in the days of King's Speech there was no streaming, a trip to the theater didn't cost so much, there was less competition for the audiences' attention. Yeah, people just don't go to "the movies" to pass the time anymore like they used to. Which means marketing departments need to be more creative in getting and holding on to their attention, as opposed to doing the same things they did 10-15 years ago and wondering why it doesn't deliver the same results anymore. A24 and Neon have been able to do this - usually with more genre-y offerings so far, but I do think Anora is going to make a lot more than 5m. But personal and original films will always be made, because people will always want to express and stretch themselves. Seek things out, watch them however you can, enjoy what you enjoy and spread the word. Wanna feel inspired today? Sit down and watch Hundreds of Beavers. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AniNate Posted Saturday at 07:10 PM Share Posted Saturday at 07:10 PM I've been hearing the death of original cinema refrain ever since I joined the original Mojo forum. It really speaks more to the personal insecurities and lack of perspective of the people expressing those feelings than of the actual state of the film industry.

I am probably not alone in this and this is the current problem facing things is say for example a movie like Saturday Night. I was interested but all the theaters closest to me are 15-20 minutes away at least and when the movie belly flops the way it is it takes the enthusiasm away to get the in the car and use up gas to go spend 13 bucks or whatever to see something that will be on netflix probably by Christmas now. The next movie I feel that way about way is Conclave. Hopefully it breaks out a little and I am compelled to go see it in a theater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something being in existence and something being a relevant market for the general audience isn't the same thing. Streaming in 2010 wasn't 1% of what it is today. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redfirebird2008 Posted Saturday at 08:38 PM Share Posted Saturday at 08:38 PM What do y’all think WB executives believed was the worst case scenario for Joker 2 after the first one made a billion dollars? I bet they figured $400M worldwide as a nightmare scenario, but turns out it will come up way short of that number. Lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work in politics and spend every weekend organizing and helping candidates in a state that the New York Times has as a hopeless Trump +13, so I unfortunately use these boards for catharsis because I have to put on a happy face and get people motivated even though I know behind the facade how fucked things are. I do recognize this is annoying though and thus apologize in advance. Edited Saturday at 09:33 PM by Cmasterclay 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead ass serious. The world has always been a shit show with some small and localized purple stretches here and there. How localized? A lot of the external policies that made north America thrive last century during the cold war literally completely messed up my part of the world throwing it to the almost-literal wolves(dictators) again and again and again, fun to think about it, isn't it? The key for happiness as a good person is knowing how to compartmentalize and mentally separate your pursuit for personal happiness from your constant pursuit of a better world for everyone. Honestly, it's not easy, but it has never ever been easy to be a good person in this world, I just think social media and internet in general is simply making the bad parts easier to see and harder to ignore. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmasterclay Posted Saturday at 10:07 PM Share Posted Saturday at 10:07 PM Saw Saturday Night and The Apprentice to do my part. Saturday Night I didn't really like much at all, nothing about it felt true (either factually or dramatically). Apprentice was actually quite good, Stan and Strong are both terrific in it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
