don't worry, they'll still fill up the theaters with the tacticool-obsessed 20-58 yr old male demographic who cum in their pants everytime the actors do ''lore-accurate'' order barks or know not to point their guns at friendlies

Hexbear is the only safe space left online to be a military otaku that's also a leftist.

I'm convinced we need these guys around for when we enter the Cool Zone™️

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 days ago

I dunno this feels like "hire fans", we probably actually want people with an empty cup for the cool zone.

Correction: the movie will be about how sad the soldiers got from being criticized for doing it

Correction: the movie will be about how sad the soldiers got from their posthoc fabricated narrative of being criticized for doing it

This shit apparently works too. I remember hearing about this kind of movie being shown to Vietnamese libs at Fulbright University and bringing them to tears after realizing how hard American soldiers had it.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I think that's the norm among compradors in general though; they're libs, so they eat that stuff up. There are even Chinese libs who think America is a model to emulate and that the 8 nations alliance occupation was a good thing. On a completely unrelated note, don't visit Shanghai.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 4 days ago (2 children)

but I want to go back to Shanghai! I never got to visit the former residence of Zhou Enlai or the site of the 1st National Congress of the CPC

A24 makes/funds a lot of bad movies, you just dont hear about them since they don't market them. Look at their Wikipedia or some of the trailers on their YouTube channel though and you'll find em.

Alex Garland

can't spell Alex Garland without CIA

28 Days Later, Ex Machina, Annihilation all bangers then what did he hit his head in the shower or something or get injected by pentagon money?

[–] [email protected] 36 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (3 children)

There's a scene in 28 weeks later where US soldiers are crying while they shoot civilians lmao

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 days ago

Tears of joy.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

There's exactly one scene in that move that feels realistic, and it's when the bored snipers are scanning the office building windows looking for people to make fun of over comms. The rest is oo-rah bullshit even when it pretends not to be

They're a distribution company, not a studio. They've released some absolute trash before, they just don't advertise themselves associating with it as much as their boutique stuff.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 4 days ago (2 children)

they took on 200+ mil in venture capital in 2022 and talked about making more marvel-style IP, the last two years has only accelerated that

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 days ago

Well that's a shame.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 days ago

I should pitch them on a Night Man movie

The world shouldn't be deprived of a superhero who's power is being able to hear when people have EVIL thoughts

[–] [email protected] 25 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

having enjoyed the book first Annihilation is a C- nonbanger for me and I never liked 28 days later apart from the GYBE intro sequence

on the one hand different strokes for different folks, on the other hand I do see a thread of emptiness and missed opportunity throughout his filmography

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Having not read the book, annihilation is a solid B banger. Obv difference in perspective

[–] [email protected] 19 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

yeah it's more a reflection of how dang good the book is (it's really good, vandermeer does ecological cosmic horror/wonder fiction like nobody else)

at the end of the day the book is too non-narrative and too challenging to translate to a profitable film so i get it but god damn it alex should have tried harder

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Damn I should give that book a shot again

Where lies the strangling fruit that came from the hand of the sinner I shall bring forth the seeds of the dead to share with the worms that gather in the darkness and surround the world with the power of their lives while from the dimlit halls of other places forms that never were and never could be writhe for the impatience of the few who never saw what could have been. In the black water with the sun shining at midnight, those fruit shall come ripe and in the darkness of that which is golden shall split open to reveal the revelation of the fatal softness in the earth. The shadows of the abyss are like the petals of a monstrous flower that shall blossom within the skull and expand the mind beyond what any man can bear, but whether it decays under the earth or above on green fields, or out to sea or in the very air, all shall come to revelation, and to revel, in the knowledge of the strangling fruit—and the hand of the sinner shall rejoice, for there is no sin in shadow or in light that the seeds of the dead cannot forgive. And there shall be in the planting in the shadows a grace and a mercy from which shall blossom dark flowers, and their teeth shall devour and sustain and herald the passing of an age. That which dies shall still know life in death for all that decays is not forgotten and reanimated it shall walk the world in the bliss of not-knowing. And then there shall be a fire that knows the naming of you, and in the presence of the strangling fruit, its dark flame shall acquire every part of you that remains.

He also did a lot of the directing work on Dredd uncredited.

I think he's always had brain worms, but he's just made some fun middle brow movies along the way

I knew something was fishy with that civil war movie.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 4 days ago (1 children)

a film that aggressively empty has to have been cooked up in langley

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 days ago (5 children)

I was gonna hate watch this but couldn't be bothered sorting through the marvel civil war torrents to find it. Is it even worth watching to laugh at?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

a bunch of DC ghouls get gunned down at the end so maybe.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 days ago

they took on 200+ mil in venture capital in 2022 and talked about making more marvel-style IP, they've been going to shit

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Always was. The people who made the studio were already huge producers, and once they took a few good gambles on some interesting movies, they then turned into the powerhouse that it is today by being absolutely on the money in playing out and predicting media trends. It's been algorithm-picked boardroom-approved films by prominent directors for years now.

At least they still make new movies though, I guess. Every other studio is just making sequels and true straight to streaming crap.

When they said they were going to make bigger budget mainstream movies, what they actually meant is that they will happily take DoD money now.

that's not america, that's whites in general

we should generalize whites as much as they do us

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 days ago (1 children)

nah it's pretty much just the US

whites from europe/australia make movies about how travelling to non-white/slightly less white countries taught them a lot about how to live, laugh and love

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

nah it's pretty much just the US

opens a history book

nice try Hans

whites from europe/australia make movies about how travelling to non-white/slightly less white countries taught them a lot about how to live, laugh and love

west hemisphere honkeys do that too. Just more confirmation that y'all the same

[–] [email protected] 19 points 4 days ago

it's pretty much the USians doing the sad vietnam vet movies yeah. but you're right, Julia roberts is also a USian so they're also stealing the euros thing of making movies about going to india and being joi de vivre vampires

[–] [email protected] 23 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yeah I was waiting for the typical A24 twist perspective in the trailer but no it just kept going until it ended

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

What if it was cause it was part of the union contract?

I could swore we had a Frank Sobotka emoji

I saw an ad for like an A24 50 shades of grey kink Christmas romance. Which I guess is sort of a funny idea but also, like, why are they doing that?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Babygirl, where a prominent part of the kink shown off in the trailers is forcing your boss to drink a glass of milk

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago

Sweet baby Jesus, that's not milk!

[–] [email protected] 18 points 4 days ago

They bring in cash, so that's what they make

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago

Zero dark Thirty was Annapurna Pictures and that was like a decade ago
