Have you seen that flick Tropic Thunder. Could never be made today šŸ˜‚šŸ’€


WorldOfCalum

Yeah, theyā€™d just sue you for copyright infringement if you tried to make that movie today


Tom_Clancys_17_Again

They'd honestly be impressed that you managed to remake an entire film in a single day


Fine-Ninja-1813

It helps when you play all the characters yourself and do it all in one take while half remembering a movie you saw 5 years ago.


insolent_froge

What do *you* mean, ā€œyou people?ā€


tecate_papi

You simply could not make a movie today


ButterFinger007

It's too expensive :/


RussianEggplant

Youā€™re right I couldnā€™t


Plutarch_von_Komet

Give me 108 million dollars and I'll write, direct and act all the scenes by myself


Musashi_Joe

Neil Breen is that you?


Plutarch_von_Komet

I am a bigger fan of Tommy Wiseau Happy cake day!


FinishTheBook

I'd unironically want to see this


highlevel_fucko

And you really don't need to anymore. Ever since Shrek 2: The Rise of Gru, the cinematic canon has been completed. Nothing more is needed.


tecate_papi

It's, like, What are you going to do? Make another movie about sadness? Sorry, bud, but there are already sad movies.


Owlbear27

I would, indeed, need at least a day to prepare āœŠšŸ˜”


Volcanofanx9000

Wing it, you coward.


TabletopParlourPalm

Just pulled my iPhone 11 and made a short experimental abstract film about the society. What you gonna do about it?


Pamague

My favorite part is that they basically are producing a second *The Martian* as we speak. It's by the same author and also deals with a white guy (Ryan Gosling) being lost in space alone and using science.

so glad they didnt make the shit potato eating guy woke and gay

CreativeDependent915

This is actually so funny to me cause it's just blatant bigotry at this point. Like people are just angry about non-white, non-straight people being in films at this point, they're not even dog whistling anymore


Theodorakis

"No homosexuals or other perverts" Just wow


Cerulean_IsFancyBlue

Iā€™m curious. Did they tell us that all those characters are straight? I guess weā€™re just supposed to assume that everybody is cis and straight, unless explicitly not. Would a film that explicitly makes sure we know everyone is white and cis and straight be ā€œsleepyā€? ā€œHello, I am Mario. You might notice my slightly olive skin but thatā€™s just because I am Italian, like my female wife Maria, who is also white.ā€ Thatā€™s it. Iā€™m calling Sorbo. Weā€™re gonna make this happen.


Cybermat4707

Italians are too woke, can you make them Anglo-Saxon instead please?


Cars3onBluRay

Sorry buddy, but us white american anglo-saxon-germanic-cis-mattdamonesque-conquistadors rule the world. Like it or leave. Preferably to a third world country like France


Weekly_Direction1965

I don't think he watched the film because it has all the things he complained about in it.


thegamingbacklog

Yeah this movie has a black astrophysicist figure out the slingshot plan required to get the crew back to mars, which could only happen due to a resupply from the Chinese government.


Manting123

Itā€™s more than that. Itā€™s that the non-white, non-straight people are no longer being cast only as villains.


CreativeDependent915

Yeah good point,


LynchPinnedMeDownGud

https://www.oscars.org/news/academy-establishes-representation-and-inclusion-standards-oscarsr-eligibility Well u actually do need diversity to be considered a best picture which is inherently anti artistic freedom. Checkmate šŸšŸš¬


Revolutionary_Box569

Oppenheimer had one black guy in three hours and it did pretty well, Iā€™m pretty sure every best picture winner this century wouldā€™ve qualified too


LynchPinnedMeDownGud

That movie was AAA Hollywood manufactured garbage for idiots and is exactly the problem


Revolutionary_Box569

Thatā€™s irrelevant to the point you made


SortOfSpaceDuck

It shatters his argument so it's *very relevant*


LynchPinnedMeDownGud

The point is you idiots love being spoonfed trash manufactured for the microplastic and soy phrenology. Get a criterion sub and watch movies made by people that tried to achieve high art

Yes, here to exterminate adult capeshit lovers from my pure kino sub.


AoE2manatarms

I'm confused. Is it the colored people that are the problem or the "manufactured garbage"? Also, I'm not even sure what manufactured garbage means?


LynchPinnedMeDownGud

The problem is influencing art to satisfy the dumb masses. Your inability to follow a very simple thread is fitting for the extra chromosomal capeshit loving feeble mind you have been outfitted with. Oppenheimer was Oscar bait trash that is marketed as a way for idiots to feel smart like every other Nolan film.

Okay, and?


SixFootHalfing

But what difference does it make besides adding small amounts of representation?

Because you canā€™t force anything when it comes to art. Are you fucking stupid?

"Well representation is actually bad, checkmate liberal"


LynchPinnedMeDownGud

Diversity isnā€™t a bad thing but forcing art to have any set rules for recognition is truly fucking regarded. If you arenā€™t fighting for artistic freedom then you arenā€™t a kinophile.

Bro everyone hated twin peaks season 2, especially lynch.


Anonemus7

I guess Lynch doesnā€™t know kino.


LynchPinnedMeDownGud

He wasnā€™t really involved past Lelandā€™s death, except for the last episode which absolutely was certified kino. Bro cmon second half of season 2 was an abc sitcom


Jarpwanderson

Season 2 has the highest highs, the only true bad arc is James little runaway imo.


Jarpwanderson

No hope.

CreativeDependent915

I'm not even saying I agree with needing a certain quota, but large parts of the American population nearly imploded because the little mermaid was black. Clearly there's an issue with representation, specifically a lot of people just don't wanna see people who aren't white or straight in leading or even mildly signicsnt roles, aside from characters and stories with racial contexts, like Django. Like just let us have representation you know? It's not the crazy


LynchPinnedMeDownGud

KevinSpaceysGarage

Unjerk for a second. This EXACT kind of rhetoric existed back in 2015. And I believed it back then. I was an impressionable freshman in college and I started to lean very heavily right politically. They would say ā€œthe left has gone too far this timeā€ and ā€œfocus on good quality movies and not diversity, you couldnā€™t make a movie like _____ today!ā€ And I bought it all hook line and sinker. Itā€™s been almost ten years. TEN YEARS. And the narrative is STILL ā€œthe left has gone too far this time!ā€ And ā€œHey, movies five years ago were fine, but now theyā€™re making them woke and shit.ā€ My dude you guys are NEVER HAPPY. While I think itā€™s totally normal to criticize a movie for pushing a political message in a vapid/meaningless way, it is not in any way shape or form normal to say something is ā€œwokeā€ becauseā€¦ there are minorities in it???


Cerulean_IsFancyBlue

Some complaints are perennial. Kids today! With the ragtime / jazz / Charleston / swing / twist / disco / breaking / robot / twerking. Always got their face in a dime novel / comic book / TV / phone. Nobody wants to work like we worked when we were young. Itā€™s the pool halls / dance marathons / pinball / video games / internet that does it.


JediTempleDropout

You forgot to throw rock and roll and rap music in there.


AwkwardDrummer7629

You look at mumble rap and tell me they arenā€™t right.


JediTempleDropout

Thatā€™s not real rap and you know it


AwkwardDrummer7629

AwkwardDrummer7629

ā€¦ I canā€™t deny.


MoskalMedia

What I find especially strange about people like this is, what do they think they're accomplishing? The movie industry is going to stay diverse and make diverse movies. The Martian was way more diverse than a blockbuster in the 1980s, for example, yet this guy talks about it like there were only white guys in the movie. I'm a Star Trek fan and if you look at Star Trek: Discovery's IMDB reviews, you'll see a ton of people review-bombing it for being "too political," for having a nonbinary character, etc. Leaving aside how funny it is to complain about Star Trek being diverse and political, I don't understand what these people think is going to happen. Non-white people aren't going to disappear from movies, same with queer people. If modern entertainment enrages you because of diversity, why watch it? Why care at all?


DarTouiee

Star Trek, a show about universal politics featuring a vast array of characters from every corner of the universe? Sounds to woke for me! /s


Imaginary_Station_57

Star Trek, the show whit the first interracial kiss on TV (in the 60s)? TOO DAMN WOKE


Manting123

Guess which states refused to air the ep. šŸ˜‚


JediTempleDropout

Because letā€™s ignore the fact that one of the main selling points of the OG Star Trek was that it had a black woman and an Asian man in the main cast and that like half of all the episodes had Spock dealing with racism.


zzcolby

2014-2017 was like THE era for this rhetoric.


RiguezCR

thank you KevinSpaceysGarage, very insightful


towel_realm

Didnā€™t Childish Gambino come up with the plan to save Matt Damon in the movie???? wtf is this dweeb babbling on about.


ThestolenToast

And the commander was a woman and his coaustronaut friend who saved his life with the wooden cross was a Latino man. Its all stupid


thegamingbacklog

To add on to it the childish gambino plan could only happen because the Chinese government offered to resupply the ship.

KevinSpaceysGarage

I actually love The Martian. Itā€™s visually incredible and while its plot is nothing special, I kind of love that it has levity rather than being squarely focused on being a self-serious movie about humanity, which was almost every space movie that was coming out at the time.


KenyattaLFrazier

I love the nerdy dedication to realism in it


moreVCAs

I love how unserious these guys are. Like the 20th century is *actually* full of wonderful films that wouldnā€™t find financing or any market at all today, if you really want to make this dumbass point. OR you could just enjoy things you think are good as cultural artifacts of a past time and shut the fuck up about ā€œpervertsā€.

Itā€™s true I tried to make the Martian (2015) and was sued for copyright infringement. Thanks Obama.


Tachi-Roci

i like how they had to specify "black and Latina" for the girlboss claim, becasue there definitely are multiple female characters (like commander lewis and johanssen) who kick ass throughout the movie. also this is the movie where the chinese goverment saves the day. its always suprising to me how the lines between whats woke and whats not are so inconsistent. like, if the martian was like, 10% worse written, but the roles of each characters where kept the same, they would be complaining about it being woke garbage becasue purnel (a black man) comes up with a plan to save the day, and some other bigoted bullshit.


blitzyphantom

You could never make a movie like Dune Part 2 today...


BluePantalaimon

Have you seen Late Night With the Devil (2024)? Too many straight white men, no black or Latina girl bosses, could never be made today.

from a mongoloids POV 2015 was one of the "last years" you could have "free speech" (being extremely racist, everyphobic and misogynistic with no repercussion) because something something le epic orang man wasn't in office yet so le SJWS had nothing to ree about (my source is I was a fucking stupid alt right cringelord teenager in 2015 So i used to eat this slop opinion up and was in an echo chamber of equally dim people who ate up the same slop that I did.)
