[Biff Pocoroba]

There’s been Bruce Willis rumors/speculation for a while but it’s still sad to hear it confirmed. He’s not that old.

earlier in the year i was so down on contemporary cinema (a thought which i knew at the time was indefensibly thick). but fuck, my interest in them has been rehabilitated by like four pictures. feels good

[Jorge]

LP is very good, but it can’t raise the dead

[Malloy]

and i have an impossibly sentimental and personal attachment to WORST PERSON because of my own health issues, so that one really got me, though it couldn’t play fair

[Birds in Hell]

Memoria

This opens here this week, I want to see it.

so is Johnny Depp getting his career back after the trial?

[tragabigzanda]

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

[VinylGuy]

the only evidence is you linking those numbers to Dune, but alright

I've stopped watching movies and I can't really figure out why

I've stopped watching movies and I can't really figure out why

I go through periods like this sometimes

[BurtReynolds]

possible reasons I don't watch nearly as much as I used to:

- more formulaic trash

- more content in general/more easily accessible, reducing the importance of movies, no novelty

- more important things to do in real life

- vidya games

- politics

- I'm too old

- i enjoy watching shitty old B-movies

- not enough boobs

I dunno.

it’s hard to imagine the ratio of goods to formulaic trash is any different now than at any point in film history

No it's no that either. I've been reading a lot for work but a few months ago my decompressing time at the end of the day would be spent with a movie. We've been watching more TV. Just kinda feels like a phase, I guess.
