While I haven’t convinced anyone, I have seen things shift to a more class conscience level.

Luigi might have been the turning point. Slowly right wing spaces are turning anti rich.

I haven’t been able to convince anyone, but I’ve gotten people to agree if I just focus on “I want this in my country cause it would benefit me as a working class man”.

So imo it’s less about going head on and more about finding something you could agree with and just solidifying that, if they are gonna move left it’s gonna happen slowly by them observing their life.

But movie theatres are no longer the only way to enjoy the latest films.

That’s what it offered before, if a movie was coming out, you had no choice to either go to theatre or wait like a few years until you could rent or buy the VHS/DVD.

Theatres need to offer something else now. IMO their best chance is to become “the third place” for teenagers. They can have free hang out areas with affordable snacks that you can also see a movie there later.

But we all know they won’t cause their main motive is money.

And yeah, if you only care about money, there isn’t much to be made anymore for offering a big screen in this digital world.

I didn’t realize we expected Oscar winners to make profitable movies.

I always thought they were different lanes.

I also like to see this analysis for 20 years ago before people went to the movies less and less.

Feel like Tarantino should be mentioned as he started his career with more niche and artsy films whereas his later works have been big blockbusters while keeping a high level of quality.

That makes no sense.

He is given a soccer ball to fight with

Okay that makes a tiny bit more sense but still very ridiculous.

As a general game fan, I hope they make a great game!

Yes, sometimes, on one of my keyboards the left one doesn’t work for some weird software related reason

Is the cat’s name snowball 3?

That’s a cynical take

I love to hate on the French but in reality they are far more based than other European powers.

Let’s not forget the Napoleonic code

I feel life is there was ever a crossover, the sith would be salivating at the thought of being one with Sauron or something like that.

What’s ironic is that he is a good actor, just sometimes picks the wrong role.

Looking at you lex Luther

Really? Cause I was thinking climate solving, fusion powered sex robots.

The smart phone doesn’t do one thing, why shouldn’t my robot?

I have Immich that has AI searching for my photos. Pretty useful for finding stuff actually

China will overtake US as the dominant economic power, exert their influence on neighbouring regions and get more push back than it thought (similar to Russia).

The world will fracture into different regions with different day to day life (even more so).

US will become the wild Wild West where everything goes in the right state.

Canada and Europe (western not Eastern) will stay put in terms of peace, but they will no longer have “the best standard of living”.

Africa will get abused by China and become the next China.

Australia will be like, wtf mate, but they’ll be dead soon… stupid kangaroos.

Doesn’t surprise me, the plot is rather weak.

Why is dating an oligarch a good thing?

Autocratic countries have a small number of leaders, often one.

The goal of said leader isn’t really to grow and bring wealth and prosperity, but to never lose power.

So overall, the economics of the country would plateau, cause why risk allowing wealth to grow and fall into your opponents’ hands?

Hence why countries like Russia and North Korea rarely innovate, but just take what’s available to further entrench their country’s position.

So the only way autocracy can prevail is by brining down anything superior to it, much like what Russia is doing to the US.

Nic Cage is more like a renegade.

Keanu is more like action Jesus.

Okay sure but can’t you have all of that without the train?

Imo a bunker would be a much better metaphor, especially since Ed Harris’ character believed their world was eternal (it was hard to believe it was running for that long).

I like the director and his critique on capitalism but imo he did it wrong. Especially give that the ending…

In 500 years, when society has moved on from all our troubles today and our lives are nothing but stories of the past, some movies will still have their Keanu Reeves, for he is, the one.
