Joseph Kosinski sucks at making movies and it’s really weird how people think he makes these really remarkable modern day movies. In reality it feels like nothing more than an advertisement. F1 is one of the worst movies of the decade and Maverick is one of Cruises worst.
Luca Guadagnino says ‘TOP GUN: MAVERICK’ is a “very bad movie.”
He says people liked it “because the economy of nostalgia right seems to be the only commodity that can be dominated by all types of markets.”

I love movies.
I hate the 5 star rating system.
One number can’t capture why a movie worked (or didn’t). Was the story gripping but the direction flat? Did the sound design carry it when the acting didn’t? A single star rating flattens all of that. It doesn’t help that written reviews are legitimately just jokes for likes nowadays.
That’s why I’m building Screenjudge.
A community powered platform where every movie gets rated across five dimensions: Story, Acting, Visuals, Sound, and Direction (0-10 each with half steps). The overall score is the average, but the real value comes from the breakdown. It sparks better conversations and feeds a recommendation engine that actually gets you and your taste for movies.
Built for people who ever wished ratings could be more honest, more useful, and more fun… this is it.
Screenjudge is live and growing.
200+ users.
800+ movies.
1200+ ratings.

@gehrigbeck15 documentaries, silent films, non narrative films, etc. just get completely excluded. viewing film like this is only “useful” for hollywood narratives films. completely discrediting other genres of film that are important to film history.
@gehrigbeck15 i just understand the appeal in doing something like this. it’s extra steps for no reason other than creating an average. doing things like this only means you view art from a narrow narrative sense. if you’re breaking down everything, editing, themes, production should be here
In a new @SightSoundmag op-ed, Quentin Tarantino says modern cinema inspires “contempt” in him, and he would “rather read a book” than watch most new movies—except for ‘THE RIP’ and ‘HORIZON: AN AMERICAN SAGA’ — CHAPTER 1 and 2,’ which are great.

@WhiteRoofer i think backrooms is more conceptually interesting, better direction, and stronger visually. neither are perfect, but i think backrooms gets better as time goes on while obsession just seems to unravel and plays it safer. also, the found footage stuff in backrooms is really good
