I’m not even talking to fader brother

Talking about the movie on a forum . When fader gets like that I eventually just block him

its crazy cause theyve just been rehashing the same like 3 points over and over again for hella days now

no disrespect tho

He knows I don’t f*** with him and he doesn’t discuss in good faith I already told bro if I called 911 and someone talked to me how he talks to people on here I would blow my brains out . I’m here to discuss art not belittle others or invalidate their opinions. If this is someone’s movie of the year and it’s perfect more power to them but I’m here to discuss the art

Yes

I know mine got to be hell

I hate Reddit in many aspects but they do actually discuss art. I never use my Reddit I just pop in. Because there they aren’t like “ omg you crashing out you typing paragraphs “

This site so brain rotted

"The movie has this incredibly heightened, almost Rob Zombieesque visual language. Everything feels grotesque and theatrical, like some nightmarish carnival attraction or fun house. The colors, performances, camera work, and horror imagery all seem designed to make the world of To Catch a Predator feel diseased and surreal. I understand that this is intentional the movie clearly isn't trying to be a straightforward recreation of reality but I’m not convinced it serves the story it’s telling. For me, that style actually gets in the way of the more complicated movie hiding underneath it. I keep thinking about that monologue where Hansen talks about cleansing the world of some ancient evil, or that almost Joker like image of an emaciated Hansen standing in the dressing room. Moments like that don't make me think more deeply about Chris Hansen they make him feel like a character from a psychological horror movie. Eventually, the question stops being, “What happens when justice, ego, journalism, entertainment, and exploitation become impossible to separate?” and starts becoming, “How insane is this guy going to get?”"

To Catch a Predator took something genuinely horrifying and morally serious and transformed it into compelling television. It created recognizable characters, catchphrases, suspense, confrontations, and eventually a kind of spectacle around something that should never have been entertaining. But Primetime, in criticizing that sensationalism, sometimes seems to sensationalize Hansen in almost exactly the same way. Instead of Chris Hansen walking dramatically into a kitchen to confront a predator, now we have Robert Pattinson's Hansen wandering through this expressionistic nightmare, talking about ancient evil and looking like he's slowly transforming into the Joker. The spectacle has changed, but it's still spectacle. That irony is what really bothers me. The movie seems to want us to question what happens when journalism turns real human ugliness into entertainment, while simultaneously turning Chris Hansen and the story of To Catch a Predator into its own lurid carnival attraction.

And that's why I keep coming back to the idea that a grittier, more grounded approach might have worked better for me. Not because realism is automatically superior to stylization, but because restraint could have forced the audience to sit with the contradictions instead of telling us how grotesque everything is supposed to feel. Show me Hansen doing something worthwhile and then show me the ego behind it. Show me someone being taken off the street who genuinely intended to abuse a child, and then make me uncomfortable with the fact that millions of people are watching humiliation as entertainment. Show me Hansen believing that he's protecting people while simultaneously checking the ratings. Let those contradictions coexist without resolving them for me. That's the movie I find more interesting: not “Chris Hansen was actually insane,” and not “Chris Hansen was secretly a hero,” but something much harder to sit with.

need the john quiñones biopic.. starring the mexican kid from modern family maybe

that's how it go

I am always team less biopics and more documentaries iin theaters but again they are a tougher sell because documetnaries tend to be less SENSATIONALIZED, LESS DRAMATIZED

which again is where how this movie approaches it itself at times contradicts the message. The movie is trippier than it needs to be

you see this yet

not yet unfortunately. this week! a film about pedo hunters sounds right up my alley tho, i like s*** that's morally difficult. but it sounds like u think this was more of a hit job. i'll see what's up!

I dont think it was a hit job . I think it was shallow overall. I think it focused more on aesthetic and entertainment in its dramatizaton that delivering the themes with a resounding moment . In my opinion it more preached to the choir

I do think people should see it for themselves . Wont be on my personal top movies of the year . Solid movie. Looked cool. Good performances

Battison holy s***

You peep?

Also you need to see this ( i do too )

I am avoiding trailers to go in blind but this is the trailer

Yeah felt a bit exhausted liked the performance from a couple of them mostly battison about to peep a fact video after work some of it definitely was cap

Wasn’t expecting anything deep tho

I know the director 👀

I’m hyped to see it was suppose to watch it a couple months back too

yeah I think a friend who is a photographer knows him too does he have connections to Chciago?

He does now 🫣 but I believe before he moved to NY he had lots of family out in Cali like I do so we just met each other up here and there

oh cool cool. dope to see a black centered film with heart. Even though it will likely flop since it doesnt have the viral sensationalization or dramatization in the same ways. It is what it is. But its a movie I have to support because I want more like it

Your mother,
if i go will they miss me
Naza

my mains of october

Clayface is the movie I will see but it really doesnt need my support lol and I will likely see it then move on quick. Was hoping for more from this and resident evil but looking like Hope my movie of Septembrer
