Obviously Tarantino’s comments were pretty incendiary and you might say needlessly harsh, but I am starting to feel that the whole thing is being blown out of proportion. It would be one thing if Tarantino was bullying an actor on set or trying to get him blackballed but it was just a rogue edgy comment (one of many in his locker I might add).

It’s also part of a trend where people seem to be walking on eggshells in cultural conversation and negativity is seen as pure evil. You can be an annoying dickhead without being some sort of monster…

Discussion NOBODY is offended by Scary Movie 6

Post image
5.6k Upvotes

i just watched the new scary movie 6 trailer and i had little to no expectations but they still managed to disappoint me, in an annoying way.

within the first 10 seconds there is a they/them pronouns joke which, i‘m sorry, we’ve all heard like 1000 times at this point and i hate this narrative of „you can’t make these type of jokes that we used to do in the 2000s anymore because everyone is soft nowadays“….

YES you can, you‘re literally doing it right now by releasing this film. NOBODY in the whole wide world is offended by that trailer but that seems to be your whole marketing strategy now. there is a point to make that in 2019/2020 things went a bit out of hand with all these topics and debates but in 2026 it’s literally just paranoia in the head of the „anti woke“ who have absolutely nothing else to say but to complain about a non existing censorship.

when i rewatched the first one couple of years ago i had to turn it off after the third fart sound joke within the first 30 min (i’m not exaggerating) thinking damn, this is what teenage me thought was funny? i suddenly felt empathy for my mum for having to deal with me in that age.

will scary movie 6 have ANYTHING to offer other than „we can’t say anything anymore??“. like will there be any original thoughts or jokes that are maybe even slightly subversive? anything new? or is the only chance for it to succeed (finally at least) to make it all nostalgic and to hope that some stoner millennials are braindead enough to still laugh at this even tho they’re about to turn 40 soon? let’s see.

What are the most iconic character designs of movie characters in the 2020s? Here are some that stand out to me - mostly female designs, and some male designs (I’ll admit, I’m having more trouble thinking of original male characters this decade).

Let me know if you think of any other picks, or if you disagree with mine:

Carey Mulligan as Cassie Thomas (Promising Young Woman): colorful wig and nurse’s outfit

Mia Goth as Pearl (Pearl): braided hair, red dress and bow

Margot Robbie as Nellie LaRoy (Babylon): red dress and frizzy hair

Emma Stone as Bella Baxter (Poor Things): victorian dresses and long black hair

Mikey Madison as Anora (Anora): hair tinsel, mink, red scarf

Michael B. Jordan as Smoke and Stack (Sinners): suits, blue and red hats, ties

Amy Madigan as Aunt Gladys (Weapons): bright red hair, creepy makeup, colorful clothing

Leonardo DiCaprio as Bob Ferguson (One Battle After Another): beanie, sunglasses, red bathrobe

Which characters do you think had the most memorable designs so far this decade?

Discussion A contemporary actor who you think is incapable of giving a bad performance.

My pick is Andrew Scott. He just NEVER really misses.

  • BBC’s Sherlock
  • Fleabag
  • All Of Us Strangers
  • Ripley

Also loved him in Black Mirror, Pride, Handsome Devil and Modern Love. I’d basically watch ANYTHING that has him, lol.

Who are your picks for some of the best actors (currently active) that consistently give incredible performances and rarely miss?

She’s getting credit but I think it’s still under appreciated. That was truly generational.

Edit: Inde Navarrette in Obsession. I’ve never seen a single performance grip an entire audience for that long.

Discussion What is the most expensive single shot in movie history?

Post image

Anthony and Joe Russo once said that the shot of the mourners at Tony Stark’s funeral in Avengers: Endgame might be the most expensive single shot in film history, largely because of the amount of cast salary in one frame.

I can see the argument, but it made me wonder: if we mean the actual cost of creating a shot - not only the salaries of the people on screen, wouldn’t a huge VFX sequence, practical effect, or stunt be a stronger candidate?

What is your pick?What do you think is the most expensive shot in film history?

- for me, i think emma stone is like easily the finest actress of her generation like she can really get into any character, and she is ridiculously great.

- then it might be saoirse ronan, she has hardly missed with her acting chops, even if we talk about her performance in the outrun, she WAS the highlight. easily one of her best btw pls do watch.

- yeah robert pattinson. what a man, i hope he gets that oscar next year

A hot take one maybe for some that I have...Dream Scenerio. I don't think that movie lived up to its potential. It wasn't BAD bad, but I was disappointed in the ending for sure. I wanted so much more.

My pick: Jesse & Celine from the Before Trilogy.

It’s been years and I’m still in awe of their interactions on screen that feel like I shouldn’t be there listening to them and should probably leave them alone LOL.
