april fools lmfao !
cinema is forever doomed
- digital photography - it is ugly and that makes it a bad fit for a visual medium
- studios using all of their resources on anonymous "directors" making movies about your favorite video game, comic book, 80s/90s nostalgia IP, etc over and over instead of moving on to something else or letting a great filmmaker do something neat
- new exciting filmmakers immediately selling out to make the lion king or barbie or television or whatever
- legacy filmmakers inching closer and closer to death while flopping at the box office
- streaming causing people to not go to the theater and enjoy the communal experience on the biggest screen and loudest sound system, opting to scroll around on their phone or do chores to the point where they need a youtube explainer of the movie since they didn't actually watch it
- dominant, most popular cinematic language being either solemn dirges by nolan/villeneuve with no verve OR cgi/blue screen/volume vfx driven 'spectacle' with no craft whatsoever and reddit quips and easter eggs to make people soy face
rest in peace to cinema can i get an f in chat ce?
