    This is a lazy meme, I’ve seen dozens of original movies both foreign and domestic in the last few months, people don’t want to go to the theatre for anything other than IP blockbusters and then complain that IP blockbusters keep getting made, change your habits first

    It’s like when games fail and people complain there is no originality

    Dude you ain’t buying the original games, you are buying the tried and trusted versions

      Dune messiah a franchise exploit? How?

      It’s based on the next book in the series. There is a reason for it to exist beyond making money.

    When an original movie or property comes out, nobody goes to watch it. The people complaining about the lack of originality certainly don’t go watch. The last half dozen original movies that Disney has released have bombed, regardless of good ratings. People are paying to see remakes and reboots, which is why they keep making them.

    Nobody who complains actually goes to support the original films

    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

      We’ve been getting into more robots lately at our place. They have done a great job at creating memeraboe personalities with animated droids.

    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?

      The focus is on what is actually showing. We want to see art not this bullshit. And it’s not like streaming services are different in this regard.

      It’s nice to go outside sometimes, particularly to movie palaces. I dress up a little and so does my date, and we usually have a fun discussion about the plot afterwards.

      Later I fuck them so hard their orgasm shifts Earth’s orbit very slightly.

      So yeah, I like movie theaters.

    The are movies like Never look away(2018), Amanda(2018), Empire of Light(2022) and Perfect Days (2023) that where barely advertised, but worth watching all the way. Still somehow using an old movie or having more super hero is ok.

    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

    This is just so inaccurate. Sometimes it’s 90’s reboots and remakes with talking animals, too.
