Nooooooo! I'm desperately waiting for "Recycled IP VII: return of the nonsensical Greenscreen"

[–] GeneralBoop@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

hopefully we’re nearing the end of the recycled and rebooted era. There aren’t that many movies coming out lately that I’ve been super excited about, but funny enough it’s the animated movies that have been the ones I’ve enjoyed the most. They’re getting pretty creative with art styles and taking a few more risks compared to live action options.

Apart from Spiderverse 1 and 2, we’ve also seen great animated movies like Mitchells vs the Machines, Nimona, Puss in Boots the last wish, wolf walkers, and the Mario movie was more fun than most live action films I’ve seen lately. I liked Guardians of the Galaxy vol 3, but other than that I can’t say I’ve been really excited or interested in any other live action movie in a while.

I'm actually very happy with the A24 releases especially 'Everything Everywhere All at Once' for creativity and unique story telling. The fact that they are killing it in awards and cult favorites gives me hope that maybe we can just say "fuck the big studios" and put talent into smaller budget companies and get good stuff out that people will take chances on.

First i thought that was an IP Man reference. It would still kinda work

Did I miss something about the strikes or is it just because of how long it's been going on. Still trying to tweak my subscriptions to keep on top of news...

The writers have been striking and now the actors guild is striking, too.

Coming to a theatre near you: Ass

Corporate movies suck but they’re not going anywhere. They’ll just get worse in quality.

[–] ThePac@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Theaters still exist after COVID.

Hollywood isn't going anywhere.

I don't think the US government would let such a valuable properganda outlet fail like that.

The only real outcome that might happen is ai movies that will be even worse than what we already get

[–] BruceTwarzen@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh I can't wait to see that shitshow to be honest. Some of the latest movies i've seen already seemed to be written by ai.
There are so many "good" movies out there i wouldn't even mind if it all crashed and burn.

See, you say that, but then these absolute shitshow movies that you think suck massive dick and should result in hollywood going bust will actually turn into massive blockbusters and the rich hollywood execs will get even more rich than ever and you'll just be left feeling sad about the state of humanity while the people at the top repeatedly never get punished for their shitty greedy actions for the 100th time in your life
