Yes, but it wasn't really subtext. There is a scene where they literally say warner Bros would have done this with or without us...

But yeah, fuck the film industry for the most part.

Idr the last time a decent movie came out...

Have you been living under a rock?

[–] Ginger666@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Please name 5 movies that have come out since 2020 that don't suck.

Thanks!

Both Dunes, everything everywhere all at once, Oppenheimer, barbie, the DnD movie, spider-verse 2, puss in boots the last wish, the batman, the French dispatch, asteroid city. There are plenty more I'm sure, but those are the ones I could come up with off the top of my head.

Don't Look Up.

Dune

Dune 2

Barbie

That's all I got, but I just woke up. I'm sure there are more. It's weird that two of them are remakes of a movie from the 80's, which itself was a remake of a novel, and two of them are statements about our society. I suppose there's a lot of discontentment in our society as of late.

So basically you are saying the only good movie that's come out in the last 4 years is Dune?

Yeah I haven't watched it yet, but that's about the only recent movie I have even thought about watching.

I came here to get away from the mind virus....

Nah, I'm saying that's all I could think of off the top of my head. I've mostly been watching series the last few years. They did a great job with Dune. Check it out! I'd watch the first immediately and then go see the second at the theater. It's a great movie for the big screen.

There was no "us". Lilly minded her business.
