People also want to see more after season 1 instead of cancelation and some new junk pushed in their face.
Collateral. What a fucking gem of a movie.
I watched The Substance via streaming alone on my birthday night because my wife and partner aren’t into body horror. I loved it! It was really good. Definitely one of the better movies I’ve seen this year.
Nimona. Definitely watched it legally on Netflix.
Banshees of Inishirin.
Story of a friendship going sour and one guy having trouble moving on. Some great acting. A dark comedy. Quite refreshing from the Hollywood schlock that is typically in our local thestre
This movie sticks with me. Such a brutal, dark, nasty movie, and it made me realize Colin Ferrell had actual acting talent. I’d never seen him in anything before and had this impression that he was just a pretty boy, kinda like McConaughey used to be.
Like, I completely get why Colm wanted to cut Pádriac off, he was so dull. But he was also so open-hearted, and so I empathized with both characters.
When Pádraic follows the trail of fingers… you know the scene I mean. I lost it, just fucking bawled my eyes out. That movie pulled no punches. It was amazing but I never want to watch it again.
Yep, the film has you empathize with both sides of their story. I though the actor playing the town simpleton did such a spectacular job too, just the right amount of quirk and lack of focus in his eyes.

Make good movies.
Best I can do is safe and unimaginative with lots of marketing and a big cast of overpaid actors past their prime.
The boy and the Heron, in a small local theatre
Watch “The Wild Robot”.
It was so much better than I thought it was going to be.
Why?
It’s actually good and not some remake.
Where can I see it?
Legally on Apple TV or Amazon. Or DVD Blue Ray
Illegally any where.
I legally pay for both of those, so I’ll help subsidize it for others.
the thing is, most people don’t. Movie buffs are a minority, the casual viewers flock to what they know, which is exactly why there are only sequels and reboots. It wouldn’t be like that if it wasn’t making them tons of money.
False. Star Wars viewing drove off a cliff when their sequels sucked.
There is a 1-2 sequel movies buffer until the drop off starts when the quality is consistently bad.

That doesn’t make anything they said false. What you said just means that quality still matters, eventually.
People like sequels to stuff they liked. When it sucks they will not like it anymore. Brand loyalty is heavily oversold in Hollywood. Which is the real reason why theaters are bombing. It all sucks.
We also need to tackle the monopoly on theater screen time that the big studios control.
Market it properly. I’ll watch. The way they marketed movies like Transformers One, or the utter failure that was The Fall Guy, I can’t even fathom why they would choose to market it that way…
I saw the TV glow, The Wild Robot, The Substance, Fallen Leaves, Kinds of Kindness.
Swap out The Wild Robot and Fallen Leaves for Beau is Afraid and We’re All Going to the World’s Fair and you have my list, nice
Beau is Afraid was really good, but fuck it was stressful. Like “Anxiety: The Movie”. I have “We’re all going to the world fair” in the downloads folder waiting for being on the mood for it.
How would you rank these movies and TV show?
All of them pretty good in their own style, “I saw the TV glow” is the name of the movie, strange film, used a lot of terror film language but never got there, like it tried to be scary but not really just tension. I like it mainly for how strange it was, in a positive way. (Forgot to mention that I also watched Megapolis, that was also really strange but in a bore way)
Kinds of Kindness probably my favorite because is the Yargos I was missing in Poor Thighs and The Favorite.
I’m not into kids animation, so The Wild Robot, is my least favorite of them, but was entertaining.
Fallen Leaves was a cute film, not a lot of things happening, with a slow rhythm, typical European film festival movie if you’re into that.
The Substance, is fantastic, really reccomend it, even if you don’t enjoy body horror, is not that bad that you couldn’t watch. I think people are trying to see way over the message of the movie because it just too obvious, and some people need a deeper message.I saw the Tv glow is horror for queer people. If ur cishet it won’t hit the same
Tap for spoiler
It’s about failing to recognize yourself as trans an the inherent terror of living in a body that feels like a prison
I mean, make fun of me if you want, but I saw The Beekeeper in theaters. Maybe not super original but it wasn’t explicitly marketed as a remake or rehash or whatever.
No, I didn’t have a free ticket or voucher or anything, I paid full price for the ticket.
Yes, I snuck in alcohol (they don’t serve).
As a popcorn flick, I enjoyed my 1.5 hours or whatever.
Yes, I paid a stupid amount of money for popcorn, it’s a local theater not tied to any mega corps.
I didn’t watch Beekeeper in a theatre it because I didn’t know if it was gonna be just a cheap cash grab.
I watched it via a paid service and enjoyed it very much with my wife in the home theatre I built.
Poor Little Things in the theater
What did you think of the movie? Did you enjoy your viewing? Was it unique enough?
It’s very strange, but pretty good IMO; As long as you’re not squeamish or prude it’s worth a watch.
