Ask Lemmy

I didn't think One Battle After Another was very good. Felt like my generation's Crash, though not nearly as bad

Casablanca sucks. Also, most “refined” cinema is a fart-sniffing competition of one-upsmanship in how much a person can endure meandering nonsense disguised as commentary.

Movies in general aren't interesting to me. I much prefer video games.

Money enables art only to a certain point. Past that the stakes (money) is so high that all the decisions in making the movie is done by committee.

Committees are incapable of making art.

Too many movies are formulaic and boring. Even if fun, they can be boring substantially.

Pacific Rim is the perfect popcorn movie

Nolan movies are mid

With very few exceptions, the "Theatre" is dead to me. Last film I saw in one was Blade Runner 2049- a proper movie. There was nearly nobody else in my theater, but when I left there were tons of people leaving some stupid piece of shit movie down the hall.

There was once I time where I would have argued against your take on Star Wars. But now, I don't disagree with you. The newer Disney Star Wars films have killed the franchise.

I would live at the cinema if it was possible.

I think SW 7, 8 and 9 are OK and liked them better than 1 and 2, which I disliked so much that I never bothered to see 3.

So... 60fps exists... why don't we just use that for movies lmfao? (is this even a "hot take"?)

I like Revenge of the Sith more than every other Star Wars movie, including the original trilogy... (I like the volcano planet lightsaber duel)

Also as an introvert... I never went to a theater... 🏴‍☠️ (Did I miss out on anything?... I like the ability to pause so... 🤷‍♂️) It's not like Christopher Nolan is gonna get a heart attack over this lol

Action movies & horror movies make me yawn. I get so bored. Shitty porn has better plot lines.

the last jedi was amazing. thats my hot take

They really screwed up "The Wizard of Oz" by their knee-jerk reaction to using new colour technologies right in the middle of production. It was jarring, not amazing, as I'd already been accustomed to colours all of my life. /s

Or LOTR. Or sports based films.

Movie theaters are money sinks for idiots.

Well wessa don't care about the you
