@affiliate @kameecoding It’s called an allegory, it can make what’s being compared to easier to accept or understand

@mindbleach @ryathal #24onFOX modernized it before #JasonBourne, it’s sort of #JackBauer in film form

@simple @TheImpressiveX The #RottenTomatoes user score is mostly about how fun the movie is to watch, not how good it is

@Pronell @Blaze I wish they kept making these movies, but with a different lead. No need for it to be a series unless all the criminals he’s brought to justice come for him in a series finale to like kill him or something

@Emperor It’s hard to make this fit into any sort of narrative.

Is he “homophobic” and intentionally trying to screw people over? Or, did he try to push the boundaries of what he could do and realized too late that he wouldn’t be comfortable doing this and decided to just bail?

Will the left praise him for not putting himself in a sexually vulnerable position he wasn’t willing to be in?

@Zoomboingding @UKFilmNerd I feel like 1:30-1:45 is usually pretty good. I have nothing against 2 minute long or even 2:30 minute trailers if they’re edited well though.

@UKFilmNerd That’s a good question. Even going back to 2018, I always thought the best trailer for #AvengersInfinityWar wasn’t even a trailer, but the “chant” TV spot:

But I agree with the audience, 2:30 trailers are usually pretty good. Once a trailer gets longer than that, you start to feel its length.

@ynazuma I could be wrong but don’t indie movies outnumber remakes pretty heavily? There’s really no shortage of fresh new movies because those are being made all the time and haven’t stopped.

In any case…yeah what is popular and mainstream will generally be mid at best, but I don’t think that’s unique to even this era of #Hollywood.

I think the real problem is that fresh indie movies are getting choked out from theaters by those franchise films by major studios: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3f-MA-o4xQ

@ynazuma @Emperor Sounds like somebody didn’t watch #BoyKillsWorld, #Kalki2898AD, #Horizon, #ISawTheTVGlow, etc.

@moviesandtv BTW I did find out that narwhal.city is running #Hitide ⁨0.14.0 and #Lotide ⁨0.14.3-rc.1, while lotide.fbxl.net federates just fine and is running #Hitide 0.14.0-dev and #Lotide 0.15.0-dev⁩, it’s likely that the federation issues I’ve experienced have been resolved and the instance just needs to be updated.

@moviesandtv But in any case, I can invite people to narwhal.city so if any of y’all want an invite LMK and I’ll hook ya up

@moviesandtv Now if #Lotide federation was working, then people who aren’t on the instance would actually be able to see my posts lol

@moviesandtv I’m racist, apparently

@Son_of_dad Haha! This is funny.
