I feel like whenever a team is too "quiet" heading into the season, it’s just eerie. Usually, there’s some massive headline or a player arguing over a contract that keeps everyone talking, but this year feels weirdly calm. Does a little bit of off-field chaos actually help keep a squad focused, or is the silence just a good sign for once?

or they just get absolutely trashed by critics, but hey, we're starting to veer way off topic here... 🙂

Let’s actually use our brains for a second: this movie forum is supposed to be a place for discussing cinema and stuff, right?
Dropping a line like "Why does every single tiny hole in this stinking country need its own film festival????" isn't a conversation—it's just a blatant invitation to start a flame war.

The whole point of a post like that is just to get another 50 people to jump in and say, "Yeah, me too!" or "No, shut up," and boom—you've got one of those classic, bottom-tier threads that I absolutely live for.😠 👎 👎

😵

It's simple—you just write down exactly why it pisses you off.

Me.

Why does every single backwater town in this stinking country need its own little film festival????😠

You didn't actually say *why* they bother you. If you're gonna start a thread, you might want to actually back up your claims with some logic.

Besides, I think the real issue is how every tiny hamlet needs two different high school football teams that some dying local manufacturing giant feels obligated to bankroll no matter how much it bleeds them dry...

And then you've got Moore weighing in on it, acting like nobody even blinked at the fact that a Black man was murdered just a few minutes before that scene with the rabbit ever hit the screen. 😁

That’s honestly the most depressing part of this whole mess. Just imagine—she kills a rabbit... meanwhile, a man gets murdered, but oh well, I guess that happens every single day, right? 😢

But since Tom Hanks is in it, ugh, what a dilemma... which lesser evil am I picking here?

Honestly, in this specific scenario, you don't even have to choose between two evils. You can just skip both entirely and call it a day.

I mean, you seriously can't pull that conclusion from what was actually said.

"If you want to tell stories, be a writer, not a filmmaker."
:-)

Hmm, honestly? Neither one actually requires a story... and especially not a movie.

Man, that was one incredibly meaty and well-argued post.😕

Hmm, honestly, that sounds more like an explanation for why people bother making Warner Bros. style flicks in the first place—I still can’t wrap my head around why anyone else would actually want to sit through them. I get the whole catharsis thing, sure, but I just don't get who actually needs to be terrified just to feel something...

Tell them Rosemary is a total classic from Warner Bros. and definitely not some trashy flick.

Anyway, since we’ve already started diving into the world of horror, I’ve got a question for the group. What is the actual draw? Like, why on earth would anyone pay money to sit in a dark theater and watch something designed to make them piss themselves with fear? (I mean, obviously, not every single movie actually pulls it off, but that’s the whole point of the genre, right?)

If you're talking about short films, then yeah, absolutely.
But when it comes to the full-length features, she was working with a massive crew—just look at the production team behind The Walt Disney Company's Snowhit (1937).
