It's sure to make 10 morbillion dollars this time :3

Definitely cast the rapist again, that will help

good

flood the entire movie industry with garbage because those billionaires already make nothing but garbage as it is

I'd rather give money to someone's mom for trash, then those fucking worthless fucks they call ceos and shareholders

Where have you been the past ten years with reboots and sequels? The only difference here is budget.

this is different from now how ?

Shitty movies get made all the time. A better question is how this got such a wide distribution

Hot take incoming;

I'm totally ok with that.

As opposed to the current crop of excellent movies...?

You say that like this is the first movie that gained a following because it was so bad it overflowed to being good. But that's a hard line to walk deliberately without drifting into satire territory (which is just making fun of something else by mimicking it) or self-parody (making fun of yourself), which are different because the makers are in on the joke. "So bad it's good" only works when they aren't in on the joke because part of the humour is that someone genuinely thought it was good. It *can" be faked, but it's difficult since most makers want to be in on the joke rather than the butt of it and won't be able to help giving little winks to the audience that ruin it. Or they don't know how to be entertainingly bad and just make something that isn't interesting.

It wouldn't be that small if you counted their labor, but still like 50 to 100k budget.

CGI is still art. CGI != AI

How can you despise CGI as a whole? Or are you saying you don't like any animated films?

Just wait until Disney buys the rights.

this is like saying you hate chicken because you got a meal that was just a boiled chicken breast and some macaroni.
You're probably seeing tons of GCI in the things you like, you just don't realize it because the GCI is actually good.

from what I've read about it: No its not AI - it took years to make using Sketchup + Blender. Kid had an idea, mother had means to make it happen and a connection in the industry to get it into some theaters. It looks terrible, but the memery has led to its success.

From what I've heard, being not AI generated was part of why it became popular, something along the lines of "at least they were willing to make bad looking art themselves instead of having a machine do it for them" or such. This just based on posts about it in my mastodon feed tho as I'm not on any Chinese social medias, so take that with a grain of salt.
