I honestly think that Minio thinks like this, as long as the crowd is small and hipster enough.

I've always thought that that is intentional and more or less the "message" of the film; not the modern holier-than-thou approach, but unapologetic and total misanthropy.

Saloum also appears to be my latest African watch. Unfortunately, I didn't care for it that much.

As a whole, Africa remains a cinematic periphery for me; I don't actively try to change that, and...

I don't think I've ever seen a full episode of any reality television. I don't have plans to change that either, so I'm taking my coat and leaving this thread now :)

Re: Gen Z wants less sex in movies

Is this the same Gen that wants old books rewritten with modern sensibilities in mind? I think we should mostly do the opposite of what they want.

I don't mind unpleasantness or violence, but I agree with the weak payoff. Also, it is one of the most blatantly telegraphed "twists" in cinema history. I can't fathom what some people see in this.

Re: Bodies (Netflix)

This was definitely a Dark lite. Unlike Dark, though, this wasn't great but barely mediocre. Representation seemed more important than the story, and the ending was naively modern and expected....

Re: The EXORCIST: BELIEVER Trailer

This movie manages the unthinkable and makes The Heretic no longer the worst film in the franchise. Bravo, David Gordon Greene.

Re: Sound of Freedom (2023)

I watched this one a while ago. I'd say the film is over-hyped in every possible way. It's a B-movie with poor writing, wooden acting, and horrible ADR quality. However, the cinematography is better...
