Just saw someone say they're tired of being forced to pretend Lynch is any good (which was clearly just a set up to go "oh look getting harassed by the lynch bros again"). Let's see how what we can cook up.
To start: movies with any sort of abstraction or nonlinear storytelling are bad because they make you question what is real, which is a form of gaslighting
"Marvel movies are watchable" is the greatest possible movie bait
Movies like Come And See, Apocalypse Now, Full Metal Jacket are Russian propaganda to make people sympathetic to communism and make Americans distrustful of institutions like the pentagon. Another way Putin helped Trump win in 2016 and soon to be 2024.
I know this is bait but the idea of a lib genuinely believing that Putin was trying to help Trump win in 1979 is so funny
I like the idea of single issue Come and See voters in the Midwest.
He was playing the long game. The USA needs to wake up and get tough on Russia.
Come And See is tankie propaganda because it didn't portray the Russian villagers as being just as evil as the Nazis
The Ride of the Valkyries scene in Apocalypse Now is about how cool and badass the American military is and how those Vietnam commies are weak pussies
The drill sergeant and door gunner in Full Metal Jacket are role models to be emulated

I have heard all of these unironically :agony-limitless:
The MCU is better than the godfather because each character in the mcu gets their own character development while the random rigatonis in the godfather dont matter
Speaking of which, why are there no Italians in the Marvel Universe? I guess the Punisher is Italian-American, but that's about it. Pretty strange considering Marvel was founded in NYC and so many of its early creators grew up there.
All the flaws we ignore in our current favorite mediums will be replicated for effect to invoke nostalgia in a couple decades
Already happened basically. Can’t remember the movie but it was like a found footage one where everything was portrayed through iPad screens and they used buffering to splice together takes and hide cuts
Disney should buy Warner Brothers so that Harry Potter and the Joker can be in the MCU
Protagonist means good guy and we should never have movies with bad guys as the leads
Gah I know this is bait but I can't help but take it.
Protagonist: The main character in a drama or other literary work.
A leading or principal figure.
Unironically sometimes, yeah. I know plenty a few film students who made watching German films a big part of their personality brand. And I’m sure that in terms of film, they had a deep appreciation of the craft and all that. But in terms of understanding German culture, not so much.
Good bait btw, I bit
Who tf likes German film? Like, there's Fatih Akin, but other than him it's all trash
i've met film nerds and they could, also like there are some good films i had to watch metropolis for an architecture class and it is fun like weird movie gets real close to arguing that there should be a revolution and the importance of labor but then BACKS DOWN into weird centrism. good sets though, they literally bankrupt themselves to make it
i don't think i have ever met someone who is just deeply into contemporary german movies that would be a new type of guy
The old German silent movies are amazing. Faust, Metropolis, Nosferatu, all still amazing even today.
It's impossible to make any kind of comedy movie anymore because the twitter antifa communists will cancel everyone involved in it.
Every single movie ever made after 1999 is just a gritty reboot of Hamlet or generated by an algorithm, and there are no exceptions.
My child saw a woman's leg in a stocking and now he's a hardened criminal.
"A Chrismas Story" is destroying our children's ability to differentiate body parts from lighting fixtures.
Did you hear about that teenager who was electrocuted??
He stuck is dick in a lamp socket!
say something bad about a beloved movie and add a small factual mistake ("uhhh that was a Sony movie actually") you're in for a good time
the big lebowski is quite easily in the running for the most overrated movie of all time. every line could be found in a 2013 scene girls tumblr and yet no one acknowledges this. Theyre like freaking nihilists man. they dont believe in anything! not even sexy time xD
Aw jinkies that rug really tied the room together laugh track
Lin Manuel Meranda is actually pretty good at film scoring. He sucks at rap, but give him a Disney movie and he’ll make some songs that will put any theater kid to shame.
Encanto was more lyrically interesting than half the Disney slop of the past decade
