hate what you want didnt say you can just pointing out they might not be making it with bad intentions.

Aren’t most sequels in the grey area of cash grab as well?

Lol. Just saw the trailer for the first one. It looks like one of those "so cheesy it's good" movies.

The first 2 are cool but there’s nothing cool about cancer.

Hard Boiled

it's a bad movie. they just kept writing their script until it was long enough to be considered a feature. it's gross cynical filmmaking.

That's exactly why it wouldn't. Getting all armchair Freudian about a real celebrity's scandals is generally the purview of trashy reality TV.

Wow

I'll plug the original The Stepford Wives, Blue Velvet, Poltergeist, All That Heaven Allows, A Serious Man, Far From Heaven, The Swimmer, Parents, and the bizarre, little-seen film Neighbors, starring John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, and Cathy Moriarty --which plays like a loony, sexual Twilight Zone episode.

Star Trek Red Shirts

Great movie, rewatched that so many times.

Good film, 50 First Dates always reminds me of it too.

I've read through the history of the production of this movie and I came to my own determination that this is a cash-grab.

It is not exactly a scam, but it falls into a grey area that I do not agree with. It is my personal choice to not approve of the tactics of the filmmakers on a moral level.

You don't have to agree with me, and that's fine. But because of this, you also shouldn't dismiss people who disapprove just because YOU morally don't have a problem with their actions. Blanket statements damage legitimacy.

Wait, so which is it? It made a 30x return on investment or it’s a bomb? Because those two things are opposite.

It insists upon itself

No I didn't compare it. I am saying it's good. First 2 parts were absolute masterpieces.

Edit: Why downvote me? I am just stating my opinion. I personally liked it. A 7/10 for me.

The great escape

sure great artists should be rewarded thats not question. However unless a film is made just to scam people or is made in a disingenuous way then whats the problem.

whos saying these film are doing that. someone had an idea wanted to make a film. they werent forcing anyone to watch it.

its a solid film with some big problems. however the main problem here is youre comparing it to the first 2 movies which are flawless.

I couldn't also shake off the feeling that Becky was holding onto some white nationalist ideals that her mother had. Certainly would explain the reason why the nazi's were in the house and her strong hatred of her stepmother.

I think I would make a horror story out of it, like, that this happened in a society where each and every physical altercation is strongly forbidden and results in capital punishment. And it is to be executed as soon as Smith has left the venue and everyone around him including himself, knows that.

Edit: I mean, I kinda like the OPs' idea, but the stakes in that scenario aren't high enough for me to make it truly interesting.

It's like any 80s/90s thriller with dubious pacing whereas 1 and 2 were genre defining icons of cinema

OP this is an interesting post but i think youre screaming into the void .people on here think its just funny now to dismiss EVERYTHING someone brings up.

and boy do people love that downvote button. in 3....2....1..
