@interopsty@KevinJPettit3 I think there’s a strong correlation between Americans distain towards having to read subtitles (look at when Parasite won best picture) to the joke always fixating on it being a foreign film of another language
@Kyle2xglp@absolutepico I don’t think the movies that look like car commercials should be considered next to the guy that did The Evil Dead trilogy. Just my idea
@Ch1canerous internet has def caused a division because there’s less films everyone universally sees to quote. I think this year tho it’s slowly changing with the return of theaters and box office numbers, everyone saw The Odyssey tho it didn’t have many one liners besides the beggars one
@Ch1canerous Whiplash with “not quite my tempo”, the Spiderverse chai tea joke, Avengers “I understood that reference”, anything from Joker or Wolf of Wall Street, there’s prob something from One Battle After Another or Knives Out. Primetime prob will maintain something too
@lizziedossss Like yes, Hansen’s darkness irl stems from how well he was able to convince people what he was doing was right, but the movie exists with a pretense of you already aware of that fact, where it instead presents him as the cultural idea of him, a monument of him and the era’s evil
@lizziedossss It seemed clear FOR ME that every character is heightened to capture the sensationalized frenzy induced insanity that’s underneath being put into the forefront. The absurd but also scary predatory nature of the entertainment industry, with HTCAP being a standout example
@BobTheRatReborn I think that’s prob cus Batman was considered a joke after Batman and Robin, before Nolan revived it, Superman Returns was gonna be their big movie above Batman Begins. Batman Begins was such a surprise hit that they def didn’t want to risk intervening Nolan for the sequel
@lazykatie69 It’s like they think that technology advancing faster for an artform means that it’s “more easily dated” than other artforms when the entire issue is them thinking “dated” is a thing! Metropolis is 100 years old and FANS of it aren’t going “it was good for the time”
the player-centrism in RPGs always makes me really sad because i end up loving these characters individually but they so rarely get to have interesting dynamics with each other
@LanceRanises_@actuallypee Ah yes because we should def commit to a discussion with the twitter user that called us “dumb little pigs” over an opinion on a critic’s ability
@kreesmarvel@OBolarin11@SsmilinSam@TheTrueOrb You treat watching a foreign film as inherently pretentious, which is racially charged/pro-American as well as deeply anti-art/incurious. If you take offense to people not liking fast food works like the MCU, that’s your insecurity, not ours
@disrupthehuman I do agree with the way that Meme/ Fandom culture has dominated art consumption, and that people have turned to consuming art out of social craving rather than self fulfillment or curiosity to art. But the fact this persons using this take at an innocent Fantano skit is so silly
@kreesmarvel@OBolarin11@SsmilinSam@TheTrueOrb Nobody said that. You’ve projected that people must do it to prove themselves because you yourself are insecure when you see people more knowledged in a field than you. Thanks for not engaging with the racially charged aspect btw
@TheTrueOrb@OBolarin11@SsmilinSam you didnt create the joke dont give yourself that credit, youre repeating something thats been said a thousand times without consideration to what it actually means and says about the people that spread it
