Hollywood's 100 year plan? Failed. Lazy Millennials on their phones win again.

People argue that they are not?

Film has been dead to me in a post-Mad Max: Fury Road world. Hollywood isn't even trying anymore. What's the point of going to see films that don't include a man playing a guitar flame thrower? Think of all the classic films that would be better with guitar flame thrower. Citizen Kane, Dog Day Afternoon, Schindler's List...

Fury Road is legit one of the greatest films of the past decade.

A movie like Deadpool would never have been made without the domination of men-in-suits films for years. Different stuff gets made, it's just made within the dictates of the market.

the invisible hand is the true auteur. Taxi Driver rules, Ashes & Embers drools

Idolize capital and specialized knowledge intensive mediums that require even more outside interference  than other creative proccesses already had brehs.

strong argument for video games being the highest art form tbh

The RPG Maker of movies.

The first time I saw the explosions in that sandstorm, my dick reached peak turgidity

The Purge 3: Election Year will low key be the best movie of the summer, and the most plausible (Americans embracing authoritarianism under the guise of patriotism).

I assumed you were joking, and then I googled it.  :'(

Fury Road is the best film in the past decade. There's no debate about this.

if things are going bad for theaters/film industry now, just wait another decade after 4K TV's become the norm, most theatrical digital projectors are 4K as of now(and they're meant to last for years and years). You're gonna have even less reason to go see Creed VI when your modestly priced home setup has legit parity with a theater ticket.

[Mupepe]

Anyone wanna come over and watch Mad Max in 4k on my tv with me?  It feels good, I promise.

[ToxicAdam]

What 'feels good'? The movie experience or the spooning while watching?

In France that series is called American Nightmare.

Figured I'd share my Batman/slavery synopsis, which I sent to my brother a couple days ago as a graduation present

spoiler (click to show/hide)

I had to scrap my first Batman script. I was reading about Marvel's success with diversity and figured DC should take part. This led me to a simple two part question: what if Batman was not only black, but a slave? Slave films and comic films are arguably the most lucrative bank in Hollywood so clearly combining them is a good idea.

The general premise is that Batman's parents were killed by slave hunters in Africa, and later Batman is sold to the plantation of Master Wayne in Gotham, Alabama. After being given the name Bruce, Batman reaches peak physical shape as a field negro but also learns multiple trades including blacksmith, carpentry, and others that help him become Batman.

The main villain would not be Master Wayne, who would instead be a moral slave owner. This way the film could have a positive white character who helps Bruce become Batman, and it's also a nice twist on the same old tired slave narratives. Instead the villain would be The Joker, a house negro who powders his face to appear lighter. He kills Master Wayne and takes over the plantation. A vicious mad man, The Joker terrorizes the slaves. The slaves cry out for a hero. And thus Batman is born.

The climax of the film would be a chariot battle between The Joker and Batman. But I scrapped the film before I could determine what happens next.

Anyway congratulations on graduating and I am working on another film now.

Definitely better than BvS

[Madrun Badrun]

I'm only OK with that if in the sequel superman is a plantation owner and defender of southern values.

[Yeti]

PD, you should read this comic, it's like if Ironman was a slave

[Joe Molotov]

It's the (non-Marvel) Civil War, but he's got a wrist-mounted minigun. 2 op, DC pls nerf.
