    MrYeezy

    You realize he has tried to get the Irishman funded for years. The reason it is getting made now is because a studio is finally putting in the money they need. It isn't like he would be out of work if they didnt fund this. He can get plenty of other projects funded and he literally has a new project he is working on right after this.

    Is this the mr yeezy from the goldendays?

    A24 is killing indie cinema. They are not a film studio. They are a distributor that secures typically minor scale releases for indie funded films. They aren’t the sole proprietor in any way shape or form and the producers usually are not connected to the company.

    In fact, they are as cannibalistic as the bigger film companies. More often then not they are cashing in on the clout they’ve gathered from releasing “indie” blockbusters to sell merch that the filmmakers do not profit from. Ranging from books, hoodies, shirts, hats, any dumb f***ing thing you can think of — a film distribution company is doing that.

    Fox Searchlight is a million times bigger and more successful at having higher quality projects consecutively and would never stoop that low. A24 is anti-indie.

    For all the movies they handle that you’ve heard about, there are at least 10 that they have mismanaged. UTSL leaked nearly a year in advanced due to their incompetence with properly scheduling releases for their lower slated titles. Then when it finally came time to release it, it was nearly cancelled all together.

    They’re doing nothing miraculous for the industry other than proving how sheep minded teenagers and college students are who will spend $50 on a tote bag with their logo on it. There are hundreds of film distribution companies releasing great indie films, none of them cause as much hysteria as A24 because largely they aren’t American based so they don’t have the same opportunities to scam people for money.

    Ultimately, A24 has only released maybe 2 substantial quality films this year at most - and, to discredit the artists behind that in an effort to give this company any more misguided and misdirected praise than it already has is entirely upsetting and bizarre.

    Again. They specialize primarily in distributing films to cinemas. Just because they’re indie doesn’t make their agenda any less destructive.

    still salty over mid90s?

    30 Minutes or Less, Hot Tub Time Machine and Waiting are by far the most underrated comedies.

    Hot tub machine is great

    Legally Blonde would've been better with Paul Rudd instead of Luke Wilson and Natalie Portman instead of Selma Blair

    I'm convinced people who like The Witch are doing it because they're afraid to get called a contrarian if they don't. It's one of the most boring movies I've seen

    Half the people who saw it hated it

    Not contrarian at all

    the tv show Friends is completely trash and I've yet to see an episiode.

    Studio Ghibli > Pixar

    Kevin Spacey is still a legendary actor.

    Karate Kid with Jackie Chan better than the originals.

    Last good Will Smith movie is over 10 years old. Next ones don't look good either...

    American Hustle is dumpster juice

    Cloud Atlas is top tier Sci Fi

    Crash winning best picture is worse than Bohemian Rhapsody snatching one for editing

    Seven Pounds, despite being manipulative, is a intriguing drama with great performances tugging at your heartstrings - a tearjerker undeserving of hate that should be revised as the classic it really is

    Adam Sandler should've been nominated for Reign Over Me

    Titanic aint some Twilight or Romeo and Juliet s***. It's not even really about romance.

    That whole movie is a psa for not letting your depression defeat you. The point is for Rose to at LEAST make the attempt to make her life more than her depression will let it, and Jack is the physical embodiment of that (pay attention to the s*** he says/does any time he's giving/showing her game about living her best life).

    Honestly it could be called F*** DEPRESSION and that would be as fitting of a title as TITANIC. Mfs just don't realize. Smh.

    I get emotional every time I watch it. seeing it on LSD was a trip.

    I know the make up effects aren't aren't great and seeing actors play other ethnicities is something that might rub some people the wrong way but I just don't see any other way the movie would work.

    I'm tired of cismale heterosexual directors either toying with queer themes in their movies, making a movie about LGBTQ characters but in the most vanilla way possible or just showing LGBTQ life as one big struggle.

    Moonlight is a great movie and all but it does rely on a lot of cliches I dislike. Also, it's weird that Berry was willing to show an awkward masturbation scene but never once show an intimate kiss between the two. Wong Kar-wai was a straight male and he had the balls to show his main characters being intimate. If you’re heterosexual and making a queer movie then treat your queer love interests in the same way you would lovers of the opposite sex.

    all the marvel movies suck except for Iron Man, Civil War, and Infinity War

    Ari Aster is easily the best director working atm

    La La Land >>>>>> Moonlight

    Jordan Peele is vastly overrated

    These are all decent except the third one. Musicals ain't really my thing
