What's this Warfare movie bullshit?
don't worry, they'll still fill up the theaters with the tacticool-obsessed 20-58 yr old male demographic who cum in their pants everytime the actors do ''lore-accurate'' order barks or know not to point their guns at friendlies

Hexbear is the only safe space left online to be a military otaku that's also a leftist.
I'm convinced we need these guys around for when we enter the Cool Zone™️
I dunno this feels like "hire fans", we probably actually want people with an empty cup for the cool zone.
Correction: the movie will be about how sad the soldiers got from being criticized for doing it

A24 makes/funds a lot of bad movies, you just dont hear about them since they don't market them. Look at their Wikipedia or some of the trailers on their YouTube channel though and you'll find em.
This shit apparently works too. I remember hearing about this kind of movie being shown to Vietnamese libs at Fulbright University and bringing them to tears after realizing how hard American soldiers had it.
I think that's the norm among compradors in general though; they're libs, so they eat that stuff up. There are even Chinese libs who think America is a model to emulate and that the 8 nations alliance occupation was a good thing. On a completely unrelated note, don't visit Shanghai.
but I want to go back to Shanghai! I never got to visit the former residence of Zhou Enlai or the site of the 1st National Congress of the CPC
Alex Garland
can't spell Alex Garland without CIA
28 Days Later, Ex Machina, Annihilation all bangers then what did he hit his head in the shower or something or get injected by pentagon money?
There's a scene in 28 weeks later where US soldiers are crying while they shoot civilians lmao
Tears of joy.
They were brits tho so its actually good
There's exactly one scene in that move that feels realistic, and it's when the bored snipers are scanning the office building windows looking for people to make fun of over comms. The rest is oo-rah bullshit even when it pretends not to be
having enjoyed the book first Annihilation is a C- nonbanger for me and I never liked 28 days later apart from the GYBE intro sequence
on the one hand different strokes for different folks, on the other hand I do see a thread of emptiness and missed opportunity throughout his filmography
Having not read the book, annihilation is a solid B banger. Obv difference in perspective
yeah it's more a reflection of how dang good the book is (it's really good, vandermeer does ecological cosmic horror/wonder fiction like nobody else)
at the end of the day the book is too non-narrative and too challenging to translate to a profitable film so i get it but god damn it alex should have tried harder
Damn I should give that book a shot again
Where lies the strangling fruit that came from the hand of the sinner I shall bring forth the seeds of the dead to share with the worms that gather in the darkness and surround the world with the power of their lives while from the dimlit halls of other places forms that never were and never could be writhe for the impatience of the few who never saw what could have been. In the black water with the sun shining at midnight, those fruit shall come ripe and in the darkness of that which is golden shall split open to reveal the revelation of the fatal softness in the earth. The shadows of the abyss are like the petals of a monstrous flower that shall blossom within the skull and expand the mind beyond what any man can bear, but whether it decays under the earth or above on green fields, or out to sea or in the very air, all shall come to revelation, and to revel, in the knowledge of the strangling fruit—and the hand of the sinner shall rejoice, for there is no sin in shadow or in light that the seeds of the dead cannot forgive. And there shall be in the planting in the shadows a grace and a mercy from which shall blossom dark flowers, and their teeth shall devour and sustain and herald the passing of an age. That which dies shall still know life in death for all that decays is not forgotten and reanimated it shall walk the world in the bliss of not-knowing. And then there shall be a fire that knows the naming of you, and in the presence of the strangling fruit, its dark flame shall acquire every part of you that remains.
Ok but what if Natalie Portman had a tattoo
sir, this is a Wendy's
They're a distribution company, not a studio. They've released some absolute trash before, they just don't advertise themselves associating with it as much as their boutique stuff.
they took on 200+ mil in venture capital in 2022 and talked about making more marvel-style IP, the last two years has only accelerated that
Well that's a shame.
I should pitch them on a Night Man movie
The world shouldn't be deprived of a superhero who's power is being able to hear when people have EVIL thoughts
He also did a lot of the directing work on Dredd uncredited.
I think he's always had brain worms, but he's just made some fun middle brow movies along the way
Wtf, A24 going to shit?
I knew something was fishy with that civil war movie.
a film that aggressively empty has to have been cooked up in langley
I was gonna hate watch this but couldn't be bothered sorting through the marvel civil war torrents to find it. Is it even worth watching to laugh at?
Oh, that was them, I forgot!
they took on 200+ mil in venture capital in 2022 and talked about making more marvel-style IP, they've been going to shit
Always was. The people who made the studio were already huge producers, and once they took a few good gambles on some interesting movies, they then turned into the powerhouse that it is today by being absolutely on the money in playing out and predicting media trends. It's been algorithm-picked boardroom-approved films by prominent directors for years now.
At least they still make new movies though, I guess. Every other studio is just making sequels and true straight to streaming crap.
Yeah I was waiting for the typical A24 twist perspective in the trailer but no it just kept going until it ended
What if it was cause it was part of the union contract?
I could swore we had a Frank Sobotka emoji
I saw an ad for like an A24 50 shades of grey kink Christmas romance. Which I guess is sort of a funny idea but also, like, why are they doing that?
Babygirl, where a prominent part of the kink shown off in the trailers is forcing your boss to drink a glass of milk
Sweet baby Jesus, that's not milk!
that's not america, that's whites in general
we should generalize whites as much as they do us
nah it's pretty much just the US
whites from europe/australia make movies about how travelling to non-white/slightly less white countries taught them a lot about how to live, laugh and love
nah it's pretty much just the US
opens a history book
nice try Hans
whites from europe/australia make movies about how travelling to non-white/slightly less white countries taught them a lot about how to live, laugh and love
west hemisphere honkeys do that too. Just more confirmation that y'all the same
it's pretty much the USians doing the sad vietnam vet movies yeah. but you're right, Julia roberts is also a USian so they're also stealing the euros thing of making movies about going to india and being joi de vivre vampires
They bring in cash, so that's what they make
When they said they were going to make bigger budget mainstream movies, what they actually meant is that they will happily take DoD money now.
Zero dark Thirty was Annapurna Pictures and that was like a decade ago
