Oppenheimer was good. Barbie was better.

Very apt in the circumstances of the genocide currently taking place - and the Americans furiously defending it this time around.

looked really boring to me. watched a bit on a plane but turned it off.

what's the point making a song and dance about using IMAX when the film is a bunch of static dialogue scenes in a fucking room?

and i'm probably in the top percentile of people who enjoy watching movies that consist of nothing more than people sitting around talking in fucking rooms.

oppenheimer comes recommended by a lot of people in my circles. i haven't seen oppenheimer. a lot of hollywood is infected with blah. the trailers are all a three-minute yawn with interchangeable dialog (odyssey!). how is that supposed to get me excited to see something? when it's over, i don't remember much specifically from the whole multimedia ordeal. not to sound like my art prof, but they just don't pop.

i've already did my post this month about this stuff but it still rankles.

has anyone ever put a youtube video on like quarter speed? use software to fill in the gaps and that's the soundscape of movies these days, and the same mood i get from dialog, plot, visuals. what happened to movies you can remember years later? now you leave the hollywood experience already forgetting it like a dream. what the fuck is this style? who do we blame?

it feels like talent is either massively throttled, micromanaged, or all off doing gofundme indies or something. this is only going to get worse with studios migrating to AI. my feed had a thing about an AI category in film awards. barf. imagine living next to a data center emitting a skull-rattling whine 24/7 just so disney doesn't have to hire voice talent for darth vader. every bit as much torture as the character's cyborg suit.
