does anyone have like actual numbers to back this up or are we purely operating on vibes, and will it be a disaster if we introduce one of the more tedious tendencies of polsci twitter to film twitter
As someone who goes to the movies three or four times a week I can tell you, it’s basically only young people going. Even (especially) at rep shows. The over-40 set is staying home and blaming the industry’s decline on the kids. Typical boomer shit.

ok i get the point here but new hollywood was very much "studio" still. certainly not community-oriented, probably only "artistic" by highly specific circumstances. you don't get to blow 30 million of 70s money for a shoot in the philippines under any other system
fuck the studio system we gotta get back to straight indie shit i'm talking french new wave, L.A. rebellion, cinema novo, new hollywood type shit everybody get more community-oriented and artistic NOW!!!!

Sorry about that twentieth century cultural institution you were fond of. We had to send that bad boy into the Maw. Yeah, nothing for it. No, I know, we all did, but I mean...what can you do? It was Maw time. At the end of the day you just gotta feed the Maw

the nosferatu commentary is really a treasure trove and i've listened to it like 5 times. "this foot going into the box full of rats was mine because no one else would do it" yeah of course
Werner Herzog movies are great because when you listen to the director's commentary he says shit like, "ya zees mummies in ze opening vere actually real. I found zem in Mexico when I vas vorking as a poor bull rider." And then he just continues on about other stuff.

Writing about US food the way the NYT covers Asian fruit: In a nation torn by racial conflict, one unlikely food unites. To those accustomed to chopsticks, the greasy parcel known as a 'burger', a sort of split bao, is crude and messy. Yet it encapsulates a nation's violent past.

the greatest communist filmmaker ever (yeah i can say that with a reasonable level of confidence) was a huge disney fan lol
people act like the left is intolerant of disagreement but these weirdos can’t even watch De Niro movies because he doesn’t like Trump while all my communist friends are obsessed with Clint Eastwood
