@trygraptor Both are in my top 4

The Fabelmans is great but there’s a line i won’t cross

@kitschtheboy @MisthiosGamer I should say, writing them off entirely for it is redundant

@finalgirlsonia Saw it last night and loved it

i’m begging you guys to go and see this film, it’s so much fun and looks great on the big screen, i refuse to let this suffer the same way dungeons and dragons did back in 2023

A 30 day shoot so they paid her 9k. They had 45 people on the crew. Assuming they pay everyone that amount, that’s $400,000. More than half the budget. That’s not considering actors, locations, effects, or post. These people have no idea how money or reality works! 🤦🏻‍♂️

@StephyBx_ that's kind of just how low budget projects are. this really could have been an opportunity to leverage more roles, especially with their limited experience beforehand

I’m going to THROW UP I dislike film as an industry so so much. $300 a DAY?? With A $750k budget is disgusting I’m sorry. I’m so mad for her 😔😔 I can’t even accept £300 a day as it stands and I’m only a year and a half into my career. I feel so bad for her omg🥺

Disclosure Day reviews calling it Spielberg’s best in 20 years when his last two films have already been some of his best ever…

criticism is one thing, but just being constantly negative about movies is fucking boring

My favorite form of film criticism if you don't like a movie anyone who does is pretending

@leonVSevildead I'm going to see it on Tuesday. Can't wait.

Hokum is a pretty scary horror movie but outside of the scare factor, it’s a pretty incredible movie about trauma and moving on through art and perseverance. It’s one of the best movies I’ve seen this year.

@trygraptor Gareth Edwards usually has great visuals. He didn't get enough time to prepare on Rebirth. I actually don't mind he movie as much as a lot of other people.

it’s honestly wild Jurassic World: Rebirth was nominated for Best VFX like what is this green screen?

I’ve been reading the discourse around Michael, and even without seeing it yet, I have a pretty good sense of what the issue is. A lot of critics seem to want the film to be something it’s not. They’re looking for a deeper exploration of the backstory and the controversy, rather than a more streamlined, accessible version of the story. On the flip side, general audiences often just want to hear the music, watch the performances, and have a good time. I don’t think either perspective is wrong, but that disconnect between expectations is where the divide comes from. More broadly, I think it’s a real issue that many people in my field struggle to engage with a film on its own terms, instead of judging it against what they think it should be, especially when it comes to movies that are centered around real people. I remember the same debate around The Greatest Showman, which I personally love. A common criticism was that P.T. Barnum was a terrible person and that the film glossed over that reality. But that was never the point of the movie. It wasn’t trying to be a historically accurate portrait. Instead, it was a musical about dreams, identity, and embracing what makes you different. I think this kind of mismatch in expectations is a big reason why there’s such a growing divide between critics and general audiences. At the same time, it goes both ways. Critics often champion more awards-driven films that can be inaccessible, and general audiences sometimes go in expecting something different and come away disappointed. The disconnect isn’t one-sided. This is happening across both groups.
