I really can't decide; there's some built in momentum because OMG MY CHILDHOOD among zoomers and such but it also feels bleak and deflated and is chasing a weary gimmick.

    i wasnt trying to silence you, i was expressing frustration with movies in general. i've just stopped watching them entirely. i sometimes scoff when i hear they're making yet another remake/sequel instead of something new (passion of christ TWO?!)

    anyway, you're the one who keeps calling this stuff slop (it is slop of course).

      Yeah, most of it is slop, and I do sometimes gobble the slop. I eat from the trash can like most of us. zizek-theory

      That said, your "who cares" thing was grating to me because clearly enough people cared here to comment otherwise.

        i've seen like one movie since the hobbit 1 i think (dune 1, still havent seen 2). i just fell off hard. so i guess that's where my frustration is coming from. i feel like we're giving this shit far too much mindshare. even knowing it exists is a bit too much.

        but yeah, i know, it's pop culture, what are we supposed to do, live on mt athos?
