80’s
'80s
Why spend time and money making new things when tried and true stuff sells just as well?
Welcome to capitalism, where art goes to die.
But someone said capitalism fostered innovation!?
And the Talking Animals will either be the best option or the worst option
And coming soon! The one midnight showing of the indie movie everyone secretly wants to watch.
Well with new Jurassic park/world stuff coming out, there’s 90s stuff going on, too.
Dune messiah a franchise exploit? How?
It’s based on the next book in the series. There is a reason for it to exist beyond making money.
Why would that be?
Oh, right.
Never even saw an ad for it but, then again, who watches ads anymore? Good reviews? Can’t trust them, most are bots nowadays.
Just as well, people are so broke they don’t want to risk spending money on something they don’t know when they can watch a remake of a story they know they enjoy or just don’t have money to even go to the movies at all.
Gotta love that capitalist innovation and the “invisible hand if the market” at work.
My favourite thing about movies is that a movie that makes 10million dollars is a flop. It could make 100millions and now we’re sad and can only afford to make a cheap remake
This is a lazy meme, I’ve seen dozens of original movies both foreign and domestic in the last few months, people don’t want to go to the theatre for anything other than IP blockbusters and then complain that IP blockbusters keep getting made, change your habits first
When an original movie or property comes out, nobody goes to watch it. The people complaining about the lack of originality certainly don’t go watch. The last half dozen original movies that Disney has released have bombed, regardless of good ratings. People are paying to see remakes and reboots, which is why they keep making them.
Nobody who complains actually goes to support the original films
Hey, don’t forget those of us who like to complain for complaining’s sake. My poor aching scarf.
It’s like when games fail and people complain there is no originality
Dude you ain’t buying the original games, you are buying the tried and trusted versions
The best stuff at a cinema is rarely plastered all over the front, that’s just advertising for people who don’t really care about movies.
Also if your area is like mine, look for the smaller cinemas that screen the new oddities and forgotten classics
Depends on your town. I live in a small tourist town with one cinema and they only play the biggest hits, focusing on the lowest common denominator. I mean, I’m not even sure they screened Sinners, but they definitely played The Minecraft Movie in 4 (out of 14) theaters for months. If I want to go to a different cinema, I have to drive 45 minutes to get to the next town (where the selection still sucks, but at least they’ve got more screens) or 75 min to get to the closest independent theater.
Exactly, support your independent theatre’s, they are usually run by people who care about cinema and they have more shows for older classics and modern indies and foreign movies
I’m not a big movie theater guy, but I do enjoy heading to the local Alamo Drafthouse occasionally because they have terror Tuesday and weird Wednesday. Then near Halloween it’s like a full day of horror.
Get down to 6 Bags Cinema in Victorville. The aircon isn’t great but shows nothing but popcorn classics.
It’s one film. Howard the Duck.
This is just so inaccurate. Sometimes it’s 90’s reboots and remakes with talking animals, too.
And now, Disneys latest innovation: Live action(ish) reboots with talking animals!
HEY what do they have against talking animals
Eukaryotes should be seen and not heard.
This is old, all four should say superhero demake.
Just saw Life of Chuck, that is something original.
Where does Robot Dreams fall? The animals never talk but it is animated.
I don’t have an answer, but that lil gay robot is all I think about now when I hear September by Earth, Wind & Fire.
