@GasMaskNat@RetardFinder5K@aGuyOnMyPhone@IamCr34ted You're speaking for Jesus, which is something Christ said he didn't want. Jeremiah 23:16: God warns the people not to listen to certain prophets, declaring, "They fill you with vain hopes. They speak visions of their own minds, not from the mouth of the LORD"
one of my favorite fun facts about The Americans is that David Bowie and Gary Oldman were big fans and used to call each other weekly after each episode aired
@Imravnos@Darren_Mooney Again, I agree there's nothing against this trend at all, but I've been following Obsession and its press. His age has been but one of the many factors in the myriad of compelling elements fueling its success
@Imravnos@Darren_Mooney Tbh, it doesn't seem that wild to me that a 26yo with plenty of YouTube experience directed a 750k movie that's been successful. That seems about right where it should be on one's timeline? A 20yo directing a $20m A24 movie receiving headlines makes sense.
@Imravnos@Darren_Mooney I haven't heard a single thing about Barker's specific age, just that he's a YouTuber, which comes with a younger implication.
I've heard about Kane Parson's age ad nauseam, but that makes sense as his film is the culmination of an effort that began at 16
@Imravnos@Darren_Mooney Idk if I'd even call it a juggernaut, but we lose perspective that the mid range of films is just completely gone. There used to be several films a year to occupy the word-of-mouth success space, but now it's either billion dollar hits or indie darlings.
