  Yes, but it wasn’t really subtext. There is a scene where they literally say warner Bros would have done this with or without us…

  But yeah, fuck the film industry for the most part.

  Idr the last time a decent movie came out…

        Both Dunes, everything everywhere all at once, Oppenheimer, barbie, the DnD movie, spider-verse 2, puss in boots the last wish, the batman, the French dispatch, asteroid city. There are plenty more I’m sure, but those are the ones I could come up with off the top of my head.

        Don’t Look Up.

        Dune

        Dune 2

        Barbie

        That’s all I got, but I just woke up. I’m sure there are more. It’s weird that two of them are remakes of a movie from the 80’s, which itself was a remake of a novel, and two of them are statements about our society. I suppose there’s a lot of discontentment in our society as of late.

    There was no "us". Lilly minded her business.

  I don’t think ‘subtext’ is an accurate way to describe the most blatant and in your face approach to getting a point across.

    First 30 mins takes place in a studio full of creatives watching their life’s work get torn to shreds, rehashed and commodified by out of touch executives. Idk, pretty subtle.

  Yea it’s definitely a unique vibe to watch a high-budget action film that basically doesn’t really want to exist and is chucking a fit about it.

  For my money, as a fan of the original (being old enough to see it in the cinemas and experience as essentially my generation’s star wars IMO) … I actually enjoyed watching it once I realised it wasn’t really a proper film but some sort of riff on a feeling.

  Additionally, I actually appreciated the core in-universe premise of the film, which I think gets forgotten or overshadowed by everything else about the film.
