Cloverfield was a great movie. But I gotta be honest I almost got motion sickness watching it.

Chronicle should change the OP mind

I saw it back to back with Office Space is theaters. Loved both.

The interviews I’ve seen with the cast and producers specifically point out the film could never have been made under SAG rules (since they basically were “working” 24 hours per day). So I’d imagine this film was made outside of any union contracts, and if I were a betting man I’d guess they were paid $1000/day as a full buy out.

That doesn’t mean a good lawyer couldn’t claw back some dough for her: but if she wasn’t able to renegotiate at the height of the film popularity I can’t imagine the $$$$ would be worth the legal fees now.

Missing is more interesting. Plane is very generic dumbed down action movie, kinda a worse version of Olympus has Fallen... it feels like it could have been a direct to video type movie, its just nothing special.

Missing is engaging and creative, its not a must-see in the theater movie, but its entertaining for 2 hours. Anyone interested in true-crime would be into it as well.

2022 horror movies roughly in order of how much I liked them:

Barbarian

Bones and All

Nope

Skinamarink

X

Pearl

Bodies Bodies Bodies

Adult Swim Yule Log

Men

Watcher

Scream 5

Smile

Werewolf by Night

No Exit

The Menu

Speak No Evil

Watcher

Crimes of the Future

Deadstream

Halloween Ends

Hellraiser

Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Escape the Field

So far this year I've also seen M3gan and Infinity Pool. Of all of those movies, only Deadstream is found footage, and even that one is produced to look like a Twitch stream so there's more production value than something like Blair Witch Project. Skinamarink isn't found footage but it does sort of feel like it.

Even wildly inaccurate period pieces are in fsgt period pieces by virtue of being set in the past. Not thst complicated.

I do think k attempt to read much about thr civil war are over stated. It's not really metaphorical in any way.

Whether you like the movies or think they're any good is your opinion. And like I've said before, I don't care about your opinion of these movies. In fact, I tend to agree with your opinions as it relates to found footage films in general because I also find most of them to be of a poor quality.

But whether there's a lot of them being made isn't really an opinion. It's either true or not because it's something that can be proved or disproved with facts and statistics. Less than a percent simply isn't a lot, so your perception or assumption was wrong. And it's okay to think something and be proven wrong. But what you don't get to do is hide behind saying, "It's my opinion," for facts, data, and statistics. That's not how it works.

That you're trying to twist this into me attacking your opinion on the quality of films is utterly disingenuous, and you know it.

EDIT: Apparently OP can't take it when someone calls them out because they've since blocked me, lol.

It’s so great and the books are also amazing as a form of time travel to a bygone time.

Also the music is stunning.

Beyond the Trailer on YouTube is pretty good. Some ppl find Grace, the host, annoying though.

I actually really like the ending.

Personally, I think a clean, modern Hollywood type ending would do a disservice to the film, and not be in tone with what it’s already established; for an animated film it has a surprisingly nuanced take on people, the natural world, war, and society- there’s very few goody-goodies or outright villains.

For me, the more ambiguous ending is in line with this. San doesn’t return to humanity. Ashitaka doesn’t return to his tribe. Eboshi is maimed and reevaluates the direction the people of Iron Town are headed in. But they all come to a mutual understanding, and there’s a hint of a brighter future with the kodama appearing at the end.

It’s short and to the point, kind of like a classic, old Hollywood ending; and I like the fact it doesn’t overstay it’s welcome like a lot of modern films.

The one when she's in the parked car, it's in the very end of the trailer iirc

Ari Aster the director of Midsommar considered that movie to be a dark comedy.

dead in a week or your money back

Rushed? I don’t felt hat way about it at all. We may not be with them on their road to recovery because it’s going to take a long time, but we do get some glimpses of hope. It’s a beautiful ending. (If anything, I feel like Nausicaa was a little rushed.)

I'm trying to see your point of view, but I think I might be biased ;)

Joking aside, it's a valid criticism, and I personally would love more time with the characters; it does have to end sometime, though, I suppose.

Found footage style films would be ok if the filmmakers didnt add more camera shake, a narrow depth of field, or weird lens choices. If everything was shot with an old vhs camcorder, handycam, gopro, or cellphone and they just fucking left it alone didnt try to add effects to it. Those movies would be easier to watch.

I would think plane is more cinematic so may benefit the most from the theatrical experience
