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.
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.
Nimona. Definitely watched it legally on Netflix.
Shrek on VHS

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.
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 boy and the Heron, in a small local theatre
We also need to tackle the monopoly on theater screen time that the big studios control.
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.
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 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.
Invalid. It’s a comedy about a man in a wheelchair who fights local city mafia
