It’s not illegal for studios to own movie theaters. Paramount Decree was struck down a couple of years ago.

Expect it to get worse over the next four years.

What?

Also it says the increase is small and dates it back to the end of the Hays Code. Just the most ridiculous argument.

I mean, yeah, an increase in talk of killing probably speaks to an unhealthy social and political environment, it’s not a surprise that’s happened over the last decade or two.

over the past 50 years

Oh fuck off.

There are articles with the cinematographer about how they deliberately made everything grey.

*erasism

The latter. Enshittification is a specific business model, not a general term for things becoming worse.

Yes but if every movie is copying that template, they’re no longer doing their own thing.

The complaint isn’t about GotG, it’s about everything being the same.

No, Lazenby quit because he thought he was above the role and would have a better career without it.

This is not enshittification.

It’s longer than the entire Broadway show including the intermission.

I didn’t think the first one was called Part One?

DVDs are 480i or 576i, depending on where in the world you are. 720p is HD.

A couple of them aren’t out yet. A couple I missed, or they just didn’t get theatrical releases here (Australia). Everything else, I Saw in the cinema. Anora, as well, hasn’t come out here yet. The Brutalist. I could go on…

They all had theatrical runs AFAIK.

Saw it theatrically in 2020, when cinemas here put on a lot of older films since they needed something to show and nothing new was coming out. There were some teens there who had evidently never seen it before.

I first saw it on DVD using my computer. Not the ideal experience.

Maybe you just don’t like movies? I’ve seen tons of films theatrically this year, almost none of them mainstream blockbusters.

Yeah, bring back original movies like Hundreds of Beavers, Conclave, Memoir of a Snail, The Substance, A Real Pain, Babygirl, The Last Showgirl, I Saw the TV Glow, Challengers, Wicked Little Letters, Love Lies Bleeding, Origin, The Zone of Interest, The People’s Joker, Kinds of Kindness, Poor Things, All of Us Strangers, The Holdovers, Anatomy of a Fall…

Why would it being fan fiction mean it’s not copyrighted?

Pretty sure Dead Reckoning was well and truly out of theatres by the time they made the change.
