Comment on The Director of ‘A Minecraft Movie’ Is OK with Chaos During Screenings: ‘People Are Making Memories’

• TORFdot0@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

  My local theatre had a group of teenagers throw popcorn and drinks at the meme’d scenes and basically destroyed the theatre for a TikTok moment.

  They are ruining the experience for the kids that actually want to watch the movie. If all this stupid viral moment was people shouting “chicken jockey” I’d be indifferent but it’s way beyond this

    The movie already ruins the movie for people who actually want to watch the movie.

    That’s a little bit too serious for me to get involved in that sort of discussion

      I agree that discussing the kids would come down to “where are the parents?” Or “this is what’s wrong with society” and that’s not productive or worth discussion.

      Mainly I was just providing an example of a negative reaction the movie is getting that the director might care about. No right answer you have to provide to me to make me happy

  I’m going to guess, in this context, you’re one of the kids that gave into the hype and made a mess and is now trying to validate your actions.

      Sorry, I don’t believe you’ve avoided movies for 20 years because “they aren’t making good movies” but refer to that movie as a 10/10, non-corpo slop. Messa thinks you’re lying.

      Inglourious Basterds, The Departed, No Country for Old Men, There Will Be Blood, Interstellar, The Wolf of Wall Street, The Grand Budapest Hotel, 12 Years a Slave, Django Unchained … fuck off with that excuse. And since you stopped on Star Wars, we can throw in several MCU movies (not all, but several). The cultural impact alone that Avengers: Endgame had by itself cannot be understated.

      Beyond that, the sheer number of times you’ve defended these kids’ actions, this director’s comments… with “Who cares about it in this context?” like it’s a new phrase you’re really trying to get mileage out of… you’re way too invested.

        You made a crucial error. Almost good, almost very good but you missed one essential detail: I didn’t say I watched 0 movies since rots. I just haven’t been to the cinema

        Almost you made a sly response but whole thing is to be thrown into trash bin because you missed that detail

      There’s tons of good movies made, you just gotta stop seeing slop.

        I am perfectly fine with ending cinematic career on a 10/10 masterpiece
