I'm sorry, what was that?

He really does not want parents watching his movies while the kids are asleep

The theater shook so hard in the Odyssey it was just vibrating everywhere. Slightly too much I'd say.

The Expanse method

Film is always a lie by joyous definition, why are we so monomacially obsessed with trying to deny that with raw artificial fidelity employed as an instrument quantified in kilotons of spectacle?

I love CGI but I love heartfelt community theater more.

TL;DR bro have you even watched Hamnet?

The shit he must have inhaled in Estonia while filming Stalker, I wouldn’t rule it out as a possibility.

Part of my enjoyment of a movie is that the plot maintains a level of consistency throughout. This generally requires a level of writing that most producers/directors aren't willing to spend money for. While some might be more aggressive in what they label plot holes or whatever, it's a reasonable metric that lots of complaints about plot holes is a good sign I won't like the movie.

It's more about the execution than the story itself. I'll readily suspend disbelief and ignore inconsistencies as long as the delivery is well made, like in Funny Games or Arrival

I swear, YouTube editorial wannabes have just utterly devastated media literacy and appreciation. Maybe not to the extent that 'second monitor' mentality and committe storytelling have, but they're definitely part of the larger problem.

People have really fallen into 'be told what to think, not how to think'.

Kinda depend if the writer really want you to like the unlikeable character or not like them.

It’s a complaint that I really don’t understand. I would love for someone who hates movies with unlikable characters to explain it to me.

I’ve noticed it’s a complaint usually given by people who mainly watch action movies, e.g. my James Bond-loving uncle who didn’t like Marty Supreme because the main characters were unlikable. You’re supposed to admire and root for the main characters in action movies, but who says you have to feel the same way in other kinds of movies?

If that’s what makes me an imbecile, so be it (unless it was a joke about the spelling). I don’t think it’s bad to make unlikable characters, but I also don’t want to be around them for a couple hours of my limited free time.

He's clearly talking about people who broadcast opinions so uninformed that they don't know the difference between a problem and a trope.

Opinions aren't precious gems that need to be valued and protected. Not all opinions are valuable. In fact, most aren't. This used to be common understanding, along with "don't share your name on the internet", "you can't trust politicians", and "don't believe everything you read". All of these have been flipped around, for worse and now people are so attached to their takes and opinions that any challenge is an affront. There's no reason to be offended about opinions cobbled together in a few seconds not being valuable unless there is an irrational amount of pride and attachment involved.

So if your opinion is that pointing out a movie follows the Heroes Journey and that means it sucks, then Nolan is right. If it's not, then what is there to be offended about?

Do you not use an ad blocker? I don’t think I’ve seen a single ad. Apart from, like, movie posters. I actively avoid ads tho.

I still carry a grudge for the massive fuckup that was audio in Tenet.

Also there was some hubbub about this one being filmed on land that is being stolen by Morocco, so not great optics there either.
