Really wish we could go back to a time when movies were worth something as long as they were fun to watch
Like I mentioned the 2016 Ghostbusters reboot (the all-female one) to someone bc i had a lot of fun watching that movie!! And they were like “that movie wasn’t that good it was just a comedy… It didn’t win anything did it?” like bitch …. The first Ghostbusters movie wasn’t fucking good either but I’m still sitting here watching some dudes chase a ghost through a library to some weird synth music so maybe movies don’t have to win awards to be worth watching
Not done.
When I ask people about their fave movies I always ask for two:
1) Which movie do you just fuckin. Watch over and over again (mine is Groundhog Day)?
2) Which movie do you recommend to other people/to me specifically?
Like. These are two VERY different questions. I know my bff from high school is obsessed with the star wars prequels like SHE KNOWS THEY AINT GOOD. I asked my roommate the first question and they were like “fuck dude I just love Mrs doubtfire.” Like yeah you’re not gonna be telling every person you meet to watch Mrs doubtfire! But it’s okay if it’s a movie you like some movies are FUN
There’s an Ebert review, I believe, of the Brendan Frasier Mummy film. It basically goes, “k, there’s only one nice thing I can say about this movie, and that’s … I enjoyed pretty much every minute of it.”
Like. Was it a cinematic masterpiece? No. Do you want to pop some popcorn and put it on while you hang out with your D&D group or whatever? Hell, yeah. It’s fun.
I used to ask what movie are most likely to watch on a rainy Saturday afternoon as an interview question. I got some good answers and most were honest and followed up with “it’s a guilty pleasure, but I love it.” I never judged people just wanting to relax and watch their favorite Disney Channel Original Movie.
movies are meant to entertain. If you enjoyed watching a movie it doesnt matter if it was award winning or not. all that matters is that you consider the hour and a half well spent
2016 was so wack how did mystic messenger, voltron legendary defender, pokemon go, yuri on ice, zootopia, stranger things, and overwatch all come out in like a span of 6 months

There’s a surplus of homes/housing. Put people in homes/housing. No more excuses. Fuck capitalism.
“capitalism is the best method of allocating resources” i hear you say, as human beings sleep on the ground, surrounded by empty dwellings, in the middle of a global pandemic, for the sole reason of being unprofitable.
