Eraserhead doesn't make sense. It just fills you with a sense of unease.

[–] Corn@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 hours ago

It's about the dude's fear of committing to a relationship with a girl he's been dating.

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

I know I’ve watched Eraserhead like 4 or 5 times, but it’s either something about the film or being extremely high when watching it - I have absolutely no idea what happens in that movie.

"au hazard balthasar" more like cogitohazard balthazar

[–] AntiOutsideAktion@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 hours ago

Five year old, right. Not a millennial at all.

It took me a moment to realize that “Gritty Black” and “White Polish” weren’t movie titles.

[–] QuizzaciousOtter@lemm.ee 9 points 10 hours ago

Yeah, what the heck is this capitalization about?

[–] lobut@lemmy.ca 21 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (4 children)

Yeah it feels like the MCU ran over everyone's dog or something. I get the arguments where people say it's not real art or that studios put out shlock because they're trying to copy the MCU. I don't know if I necessarily agree.

However, what about the meme about just letting people enjoy things?

Let me clear. Last MCU movie I watched was like Shang Chi and I lost interest after Loki and Wandavision (great shows). So like, I'm not a fan anymore and I ain't watching any of their movies any time soon.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

I haven't watched the movies since about the same point, but we did that Agatha show and enjoyed it (i think it was what's her face from that show and the aggressive homosexuality that got us to watch)

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

I think some of it is a misplaced sense of frustration with the way that most big commercial films are franchises/cinematic universes, which focus on plot over everything else. See spoiler culture - where plot details are so key to the point of the movie that revealing them could somehow “ruin” it.

Weirdos like me who would rather watch shit like Au Hasard Balthazar often aren’t eating good at the box office. I’ll watch Marvel movies with friends and turn off my movie critic brain but I’m not enjoying the movie, just the company. I’ll go watch Venom with my younger brother or something, but very rarely have I been able to find friends to go watch like Lancelot du Lac with.

Wandavision was really good the first time, but it honestly has no rewatch value whatsoever. Loki is great, though.

[–] sykaster@feddit.nl 2 points 11 hours ago

That movie was a train wreck, I also gave up after that one

[–] Szewek@lemm.ee 69 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Subversive. By mocking an extreme, you want to avoid the main issue here: Marvel is a toxic shithole normalized by aggressive marketing.

[–] Szewek@lemm.ee 60 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Let the 5-year-old watch Shrek or sth.

[–] Lyra_Lycan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Or a proper vigilante movie like Kick Ass

[–] SchwertImStein@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 16 hours ago

beginning with a masturbation joke?

[–] Deestan@lemmy.world 18 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

The quality of a work lies not in how it makes you feel, but in how many polysyllabic words it allows you to use when talking about it.

[–] Armand1@lemmy.world 44 points 17 hours ago (5 children)

I dunno man that sounds pretty lit

[–] CrackedLinuxISO@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

Not a Polish film, but Hard to be a God (2013) is that.

It's a 3hr B&W Russian film about futuristic scientists who are living on a medieval planet to study it. Everything is disgusting, claustrophobic, and filthy (the main character is a germophobe). As he watches a fascist theocracy take control of the kingdom, the protaginist wrestles with whether or not to get involved.

[–] VonReposti@feddit.dk 9 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Unfortunately what is considered the world's first movie is A Trip to the Moon from 1902, so there exists no movie from 1873

[–] Manzas@lemdro.id 5 points 10 hours ago

I think the creator meant set in 1873

Honestly yeah would watch

[–] SincerityIsCool@lemmy.ca 18 points 16 hours ago

Absolutely. Where can I watch this

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 13 points 16 hours ago

Yea, I'm down for the watch party lol

[–] saltnotsugar@lemm.ee 30 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Marvel movies often have a subtle SUBTLE undertone cliticizing the Kaiser and praising a bohemian view of agriculture. It’s understandable but not forgivable that this is so often missed.

[–] sykaster@feddit.nl 7 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I would also like to cliticize someone

[–] saltnotsugar@lemm.ee 2 points 11 hours ago

Just be SUBTLE about it!

[–] Zero22xx@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Adult Star Wars fans when kids try to enjoy the movie with dog people, living teddy bears and elite troopers that can't shoot straight.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 4 points 6 hours ago

That was the original trilogy, which pretty much everyone agrees was good.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 9 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (2 children)

Nah, one marvel movie is enough to know them all.

I've seen all the marvels movie and am ready to never see another one.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 6 points 14 hours ago

Reminds me of the movie critics on breakfast TV here. When they recommend a movie, we'll take it as a warning. When they condemn it, we consider it a recommendation.
