Re: Movie Thread
Media in general is fucked. There's so much oversaturation in the market that nothing new can gain traction even if it's good. Greedy movie assembly lines are just making the problem worse. The thing about old movies is they don't go away. So every new action movie that comes out has to compete with the last 80 years of action movies. Video games are a younger medium but we're seeing the same problem with them, especially on platforms like Steam.
The hollywood initial response to this was to make everything a fucking remake. Brand recognition, yo! The problem there is brand dilution. Look at Mahvul. Iron Man 1 was an amusing novelty. Now they've driven capeshit as a whole into the dirt. Star Trek did the same shit, and so did Disney Wars. In 20 years, none of these franchises will be recognizable as what they stood for in the 60+ years previous.

Absolutely. Everything from how much money they spent, to how they sold the movie, to where it played would have been handled with more realistic expectations before.CuckTurdginson wrote: ↑Tue Oct 04, 2022 3:17 amA lot of those arthouse hits didn't have these bloated ass budgets - niche means managing your money better.

Even bombs don't stick around in the public memory like they used to. Nobody is gonna be thinking about Mah Bois in a week.rabidtictac wrote: ↑Tue Oct 04, 2022 2:33 pmMedia in general is fucked. There's so much oversaturation in the market that nothing new can gain traction even if it's good.

Re: Movie Thread
Not only that but the almighty algorithm of the various streaming platforms will make sure to mostly recommend stuff similar to the stuff you've already watched. It is a perfect consoomer bubble.rabidtictac wrote: ↑Tue Oct 04, 2022 2:33 pmMedia in general is fucked.

(Unless it's a big turd like Rangz o' Powah, ads for which I am sure no subscriber to Amazon can escape from for the forseeable future.)
Autism attracts more autism. Sooner or later, an internet nobody will attract the exact kind of fans - and detractors - he deserves.

Point being - faggot who starred in the movie should probably be angrier at the people who gave him money than the straights, because Limousine Liberal Judd Apatow did not need 20-30 million dollars worth of cocaine.

Re: Movie Thread
Apparently it was pushed hard in YouTube ads. I wouldn't know since I have an adblocker, like any sensible person.
I did see some ads on cable... it was either FXX or Comedy Central.
It all boils down to the fact that, despite all the virtue signaling, nobody wants to watch a woke faggot romcom. It doesn't matter how hard you push it, it ain't happenin'.

Re: Movie Thread
Precisely. Men don't watch romcoms in general unless dragged to watch by women and women won't watch this because it won't interest them. There was no audience.
Re: Movie Thread
Also because, while most people won't admit it, most people don't like faggots and will not watch a movie featuring them
Re: Movie Thread
I mean it depends. Brokeback Mountain did well when it came out. It really depends how the movie is written. Bros for example looked like shit with how shitty the writing was in the trailer.
Re: Movie Thread
Yes, but there's lots of reasons for that. Mainly that it was a different time and different arguments. The controversy and critical praise back when film criticism as an institution actually had some credibility, in addition to the two gay cowboys being played by two teen heartthrobs, so there was something in it for women, all contributed to that film being such a success.
Nowadays, film criticism is a joke. Critics will lavish praise on pretty much anything they think straight white men are bound to hate. The media is not what it was so they can't whip up controversy the way that they did with Brokeback. The leads here are just two random faggots, and the chief argument for homosexuality has gone from being 'What's wrong with two men being gay if that's the way they're born' to 'If you're not okay with fifty men having a gangbang in front of your children, you're a homophobe'
