Did you guys hear that the director is only 20 years old?
Which will turn into llm models giving them ideas, as reddit is ruled by bots and slop and will only get worse as they kick off real users that actually drive engagement for organized interests pushing a campaign.
If that means more originals and less lazy remakes, I'm all for it!
Threes studios control like 75% of the movies now after the paramount deal closes, sony controls another like 7% or something.
It's going to get worse not better, and using reddit for ideas is basically using llm's and organized inerests, be they commercial or fascist or what have you, to generate ideas.
Let's just input it into the AI Slop machine a few times first. Then strip out anything that might hurt us or some share holders reputation or feelings. Shove some ad's and got to go for some good ol patriotism. Don't forget to photoshop the current thing of the month "We" are caring about into it.
Looks like we just found Paramount's new deputy head of sucking at making movies you are hired! /s
The future fucking sucks.
I will gladly take on this honor and burden of the people. I do ask that I'm paid my comically large bag of money up front.
If some weirdo manages to make an adaptation of Mother Horse Eyes I'll be the happiest man on earth
Reddit, you say... 
But who is this 4chan!?
Legend has it they’re an elite hacker also known as “anonymous”
The rule34 movie is going to be quite something.
I want a 3 hour epic about the poop knife.
You mean Pulp Fiction? That's what was in the briefcase.
We're about to see a new flood of Hollywood slop as they yet again fail to realize what actually makes good indie films good
We? Speak for yourself. I'm not going to lay eyes on any of it.
Al and three actors who had large opening weekends?
Can’t wait for the “Green Text” film where the tagline describes how fake and gay it is.
After the success of the Barbie movie, studios were allegedly scrambling to figure out what other toys they could make a movie about. They just don't get it.
There is a movie being made about Monopoly of all things.
I think I read there are two concurrent Monopoly movies in the works. Here: https://deadline.com/2026/06/monopoly-movie-lionsgate-developing-two-new-takes-1236954940/
Mining Reddit for movie ideas... I guess we can all look forward to a high-budget adaptation of Swamps of Dagobah.
Ooh do poop knife next!
Broken arms adventures
Jolly Ranchers
Old Colby

Maybe try letting filmmakers rather than C-suite make the films?
Art is a financial risk. Wide and shallow appeal sells tickets
Only true for so long, and nowadays people can barely afford gas and food and rent so just watch Tiktok rather than pay to see films.
I think it’s safe to say, they will never learn or unlock anything of value.
They have thousands of scripts to choose from and they go for Reddit they can as well just skip the middleman and ask a LLM directly.
Claude, give me a Hollywood movie script that wins at least 3 oscars.
"I'm sick of this motherfucking /r/Art Mod on this motherfucking subreddit!"
Did they ran out of classic fairy tales to put in modern day American cities?
If it ends the marvel movies and sequel bullshit, I call it a victory.
Jesus fucking Christ.
Can we not wait for Blair witch 3.0 for another shakeup this time?
Patrick H Wiilems had an interesting video essay recently about the death of music videos, since there was a major pipeline from being a music video director to being a movie director.
This may be the first year where Hollywood starts treating YouTube video makers as a substitute pipeline for finding new talent.
I am genuinely excited for this.
The original Onion story was about the success of American Pie kicking off a wave of copycat pie-fucking grossout comedies from the other studios.
Somehow, the CMO of Reddit seems like an even worse person than I had imagined. I can honestly say he has an extremely punchable face just from reading his quotes.
They hired him from Meta. And he looks like it.
