Here you go

Months have passed and Saltburns lasting effect on pop culture.. is c***in a vinyl made by hipsters

What do you expect lol A24 movies is what they consider real cinema and probably haven’t watched anything before 2000 that isn’t heavily referenced in pop culture.

Gen z twitter movie hipsters have changed this industry and its perception for the worse imo. In real time we’re seeing what happened to the music industry seep its way into the film industry but I don’t think anyone is ready to have that discussion yet. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Doesn’t matter what we think lol all important movie discourse online is ran by gen z blue haired white girls at this point 😂

A lot of people don’t care about “real cinema” and just want movies to entertain them. It’s been that way for decades

Everyone has a movie they love that’s generally considered to be bad either for nostalgia reasons or it resonated with them in a certain way

Absolutely the average person generally watches movies as an escape from their reality. An excuse to get out of the house or turn on the TV, Phone, Tablet or whatever to entertain them and the people around them.

Folks really don't gaf if a movie is critically acclaimed or won a bunch of festivals awards generally

For better or worse internet discourse and social media doesn't really reflect the real world lol

100% cause the same people screaming about how MCU ruining cinema on Twitter are dead silent when their irl friend suggests they go watch Deadpool 3 opening weekend

If it’s been this way for decades then explain why it’s a topic now? I’m clearly talking about people who think just watching whatever A24 movie is out at the theater makes them a cinephile and people around them confirming that thought process. Not talking about the average movie goer.

And I’m def not the only one that feels this way but I forgot ktt is contrarian just for the sake of it lol.

Not sure how anything I said was contrarian

The idea of superior movie taste has been a thing before A24. It’s why certain genres have been looked down upon and not given their respect. You’re looking at a subsection of online movie discourse that definitely does have that holier than thou attitude you mention but for you to say they don’t know real cinema makes it sound like you think of yourself as more of an expert thus no different in attitude than you say they have.

I personally find the whole idea of being or aiming to be a cinephile cringe. What’s even the point? Just be a movie lover and love the movies that connect with you

I think you're vastly overestimating how much social media discourse is effecting films.

Like you said in your previous post itt it's mainly 16 to 22 year old Zoomers on tiktok, and Twitter who gush over A24 movies like they're the best thing ever made and think Euphoria is Breaking Bad/The Wire levels of prestige TV. it's a loud minority but a minority nonetheless.

I don't really take those opinions seriously in the first place they're dumb ass little kids lol.

I'm not trying to be an a****** here btw

And we’re seeing it in real time when people online were saying audiences are killing movie theaters for letting Furiosa and Fall Guy underperform meanwhile Inside Out 2, Deadpool, and Despicable Me are running up the numbers

General audiences are still the main target for what becomes successful and they do not care about what film Twitter tells them to watch

This is my only post itt commenting on the quality of the movie so it’s not like I’m arguing to defend it. And I’m not saying you can’t criticize it. Just shouldn’t look down on others for liking this or any movie

Great movies and filmmakers are born from inspiration of worser films all of the time
