You packed lunch on a movie? You enjoyed the overnights? What did you do on this movie exactly? This is the exact opposite of how literally every film working I know operates.

It was also a critical success as well

I always see these articles about movies that are more relevant now than ever or how a movie predicted the future. It's always bullshit. These movies didn't read tea leaves it's just that the same bullshit that plagues us nowadays is still here and now people decide to pay attention to it.

Reply to comment by Sodernaut in ‘Cocaine Bear’ Team on Committing to the Outrageous Title and Bringing the Killer Bear to Life by RitoRvolto
This idea that something stupid or something genre related can't be art is something I deeply disagree with. This movie will still have a story at its core. It will have themes and characters and potentially even social or political commentary. Whether or not those elements of the film are successful are subjective of course, but to me those elements and the attempt are worthy of critical consideration.

Reply to comment by hastur777 in Australia to Impose Local Content Quotas on Streaming Platforms by Sisiwakanamaru
Yeah, why try to protect local culture when we really know locals just want imported pop culture that has no significance regionally. Why tryto help local artists when we could keep giving the rich Hollywood talent more money and a louder voice! You're absolutely right, if it doesn't sell there's no purpose to art!

I'm not sure if you knew this or not but soderberg didn't write the book. His movie isn't the book and thusly has a different pov and message. This is the core idea of what adaptations can be.

But Soderberg didn't miss the point. He was just making a different point than the other versions of the story.

Reply to comment by ibekeggy2 in The Crazies (1973 Original) Or (2010 Remake) by [deleted]
The original is a much different type of film. Much more political and much less focused on zombie action. The virus in the original makes you crazy. It doesn't turn you into a zombie. The major focus of the film is the government's bungling of the attempt to contain the outbreak. I saw this during the first weeks of covid and it was quite apt.

They want to make art and sell art. That's the risk of selling art.
