Scooby Doo (2002)

>I can't stand politics in movies

What's your favorite movie? I guarantee it has a political message

>however in the process it just made everything in the past star wars movies meaningless and pointless, the efforts of the rebel alliance didn't matter because the empire returned in the form of the first order, Palpatine was still breathing, apparently, you could have heal wounds with the force this whole time, they turned Luke into an old bitter hermit etc

All valid criticisms, none of them have anything to do with the gender of the main character. The movies were poorly written, that has nothing to with "wokeism" or whatever

>Doing a piece of media simply for a woke agenda only doesn't work it makes the whole film feel rushed and boring like the Disney star wars trilogy

Do you think Disney was doing that to promote their political message? They were doing it because Star Wars sells. Those movies made billions of dollars.

>These reboots fail every time because the classics are so good you cannot recreate them these are once-in-a-lifetime treasures and successes you cannot make gold out of scratch.

Except for Mad Max: Fury Road, Blade Runner 2049, The Batman and all of the other reboots and remakes that are actually good.

>Sadly it may never stop because despite how cheap and lazy they are they still make tons of money.

This is the main point. Hollywood is a business and they do things to make money. There are plenty of indie movies out there if you're actually looking for some solid art

How would you rank each Harry Potter movie compared to current Supreme Court Justices?

You should get on Letterboxd if you're not already. That's a better platform for this kind of thing and it will make it easier for you to sort through your movies and reviews later on

No but they can be nominated in two different categories for different roles. I believe ScarJo did it a few years ago for Jojo Rabbit and Marriage Story

Good call. I did say my googling was half assed

Based on some half-assed googling, it would appear no movie has ever been nominated for best picture at the Oscars and favorite movie at the Kids Choice Awards before this year. Avatar and Top Gun both did it this year. That's kinda weird

It's more gross than anything and I mean that as a compliment

Hey man, you don't need to post an increasingly unhinged and incoherent rant about Avatar every day. You can turn off your computer and go outside. I promise you won't die from touching grass

I think the movie is pretty overrated and pretentious but I do like The Shins

Sir, this is an Arby's

None of those are plot holes

>I did not like any of the characters

You're not really supposed to

>There were a few plot holes in the movie

No there weren't

I actually thoroughly enjoyed the bus scene in TCM. The rest of the movie sucked ass though

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.

>As a horror fan this is upsetting.because so many these days are found footage.

I don't think this is even true anymore. I watched like 30 horror movies that came out last year and maybe 1 or 2 of them were found footage. That trend has mostly died out over the last 5-10 years.

Settle down

Yes. Some of those people have a very specific idea of what the thing they like is supposed to be and they will get all pissed off the art they're looking at doesn't match exactly what they expected.

The movie isn't about food necessarily, it's about all art. The movie was making fun of the snobs that try to gatekeep and insist there's a correct way to enjoy art. It could just as easily apply to people on this sub that get all snooty when someone says they liked a Michael Bay movie or whatever. The point is to just shut up, let people enjoy things, and don't be a jackass.

>Watch it because it's a great movie. Not because someone with agenda is trying to sway you.

Climate change, income inequality, and consumerism are all themes of the movie. Pointing that out in a recommendation isn't pushing an agenda. It's just saying what the movie is about

>A young woman communicates with insects

You probably lost some people here. And you didn't even mention Dr Loomis and his monkey butler

This movie rules. I think you undersold how batshit it is because I don't even know how to explain the plot without sounding like a psycho. Really, really entertaining movie and like every Argento movie, the soundtrack absolutely bops.

It's just a surrealist movie. The plot and the visuals are also kind of surreal in the same way

Neither of those two movies have Nic Cage screaming about Zeus's Butthole so The Rock is better
