Who here is gonna go see BROS? It's the manliest movie of the year.

I never hear about these movies until you bring them up.

The only place I hear about new movies at all is this thread.

[Le Redditeur]

The only modern movie you need to watch is Buck Breaking.

A letterboxd review makes me want to see it for sure.

"the batshit crazy product of terminally online political echo chambers, this says that gay white men invented being straight in order to justify raping women and enslaving africans, some kind of esoteric christian hotep homophobic & transphobic anti-feminist propaganda where the director has clearly paid hundreds dollars for original drawings depicting black men being brutally raped, i can't even

guaranteed to give you brainworms."

The "Bros" trailer showed up for me as a YouTube ad today. I couldn't bring myself to skip it. I had to watch it.

More like who at all will watch that shit.

FilmBald. Kaiserfaggot. Jabba the Hagan. Kim Justice.
Peerod and Brad are also good candidates.
A wild Razorfag may also lowkey appear, if we are lucky.

Inb4 feminists start reeing about "men invading their romcoms" or some shit.
I, on the other hand, have this to watch:



I loved how the movie trolled the viewer with dramatic moments involving the bald guy à la Walking Fags/Last of Troons, only to reveal that he was just hypochondriac.

Those faggots might watch it. They could possibly also just do what Movie Blob does with anything that isn't capeshit and read the Wikipedia entry.

In any case, will they pay for it?

[CuckTurdginson]

Brad seems like he still pays - which is retarded for him to do at this point.

I don't like that Elizabeth Banks uses passive language as if she had nothing to do with the perception of "Charlie's Angels" as feminist junk, but it is interesting to see these Hollywood types display even a slight glimmer of acknowledgment that making everything political isn't doing them any favors.

For those who don't remember (and you might not since it bombed) there was a "Charlie's Angels" movie in 2019 that went with the brilliant idea of making the women in it unattractive.

Elizabeth Banks Regrets ‘Charlie’s Angels’ Marketing: It Wasn’t a ‘Feminist Manifesto,’ Just an ‘Action Movie’

Looking back at the poor box office performance of her 2019 “Charlie’s Angels” reboot, Elizabeth Banks has some regrets about the film’s marketing.

“I wish that the movie had not been presented as just for girls, because I didn’t make it just for girls,” Banks told The New York Times. “There was a disconnect on the marketing side of it for me.”

Banks said that “when women do things in Hollywood it becomes this story. There was a story around ‘Charlie’s Angels’ that I was creating some feminist manifesto. I was just making an action movie.”

The “Pitch Perfect 2” director added that she “would’ve liked to have made ‘Mission: Impossible,’ but women aren’t directing ‘Mission: Impossible.’ I was able to direct an action movie, frankly, because it starred women and I’m a female director, and that is the confine right now in Hollywood.”

Banks recalled a time when a “big producer of big action movies” told her that she couldn’t “direct action” because “male actors were not going to follow me.”

Banks’ “Charlie’s Angels” reboot cost Sony and its co-financiers $48 million, but it floundered at North American box offices with only $8.6 million in its opening weekend. Ahead of its release, Banks told the Herald Sun back in 2019: “If this movie doesn’t make money it reinforces a stereotype in Hollywood that men don’t go see women do action movies.”

Despite it being a commercial flop, Banks said she is “proud of the movie.”

“I loved Kristen Stewart being funny and light. I loved introducing Ella Balinska to the world. I loved working with Patrick Stewart. It was an incredible experience,” she said.
