I don't agree on Barbie. This movie is made by professionals, it has some amount of artistic value, but it is soulless. Because it is an ordered product. but I agree on what's going on with Hollywood. This garbage will keep pumping out until the boiling point point is reached and this whole thing will collapse. Then the new era of cinematography will begin. We just have to be patient
Barbie didn't actually have a character before the adaptation. Every version of Barbie is nothing like the Gerwig film, why is it so weird that they invent characters for monopoly and make it compelling? They made it for Jumanji FFS, and monopoly has the guy already for brand recognition. I think making random board game films is a more fun idea than having the billionth Liam Neesan or The Rock action film. We're missing comedies. Also, companies do both original ideas and franchise ideas, you go see whatever you want to see. I saw Poor Things 4 times in the cinema. Companies like Fox Searchlight and A24 exist to make original films, it's not like we're in a bankrupt dystopia. Also movies were always made for audiences instead of just good movies, wtf is the clip at the end about.
Have there not been several Barbie animated movies? Jumanji is a better example, however, the original story of Jumanji had characters already and the modern-updated reboots are less than a shining example. Would you prefer a random board game film over something more original? Why not invest in higher quality of works in the same vein of the A24 outlook or even the Blumhouse direction of taking creative risks with original filmmakers. I agree we're not in bankrupt dystopia but has the focus shifted away from telling good stories versus catering for what we know will attract an audience based on name recognition and existing IP?
What changed across all industries is that statistics are more important than believing in the art form. This problem is by no means unique to the movie industry. What works must be tried nd proven already or it simply doesn't work.
@@motioninart The issue with this is that it leads to no one having a brain. Most statistics are extremely relative. Yet people will blow them beyond proportion and try to apply them to an entire way of life. Companies talk about how much employee turnover there is. There's turn over because you directly influence those statistics. Stop being reactionary and start being proactive and maybe the statistics will shift to your liking.
By the half way in you pointed out how the underlying concept in the gameplay could relate to real world events, and it's not a far reach from there to use that as vehicle to satirize ruthless behavior in real estate development and various industries.
when you look at monopolies and our 'anti monopoly' laws, they've actually failed because what the companies do is sell majority of their shares to other companies, including the megacorps that own all the smaller companies. So it's virtually one monopoly. Because of the reddit stuff, only GameStop is a major company who's shares aren't majortively other companies. Basically every company owns each other and all use their unified interest to manipulate markets and profits with fake competition presented to prevent uprising at this revelation. Why do you think every corp is so coordinated in world events despite 'competing'?
I'll try again. The idea of monopolies and antitrust laws are irrelevant because all major companies and corps own shares in each other more than non-corps, so they are essentially one consolidated entity pretending it isn't.
I think I've finally reached the point where I just don't care anymore. If studios want to keep wasting time, money, and resources on bloated, soulless blockbusters, I say let them.
You don't know anything about it but because you can't figure out what you'd do with it, so then you assume no one else can do it either? They did Batleship, cheesy and dumb in a lot of places, but stil brainless fun and executed well enough for what it was. I could think of a few interesting ways it could go, and I don't even make movies for a living.
If you enjoy brainless fun then by all means, you do you. But do you really deep down in your soul believe those are the movies you have enjoyed the most? Why would you assume that I can’t figure out what I’d do with it? I’d love to hear your thoughts on what interesting ways it could go, genuinely curious.
@@hippopilot6750 you're calling a lot of people, including likely millions of videogame players if you want to talk about 'brainless' in entertainment, 'subhuman' for liking something more than you do. Get off your high horses.

Every point in the video is dumb, I just got frustrated towards the end.
Critical drinker tier.

Agreed. Statistics and market research seems to be the way forward.

Love your work mate. Great video.
Thanks man!

Truly a cinematic masterpiece
What characters would you have?

A movie about this and possible destruction of it would be cool but they don't like people being aware of this to entertain that idea.
Woah my comment about monopolies seems to have deleted. I didn't even use bad words. Interesting...

That intro reminds me of "Rob Schneider is a Stapler!" ua-cam.com/video/2nXpVl9l43A/v-deo.html&ab_channel=Vetock
hahahahaha
Wasn't Clue a cult classic. People are aggravating AF.
Possibly. It seemed similar in the same style of The Pink Panther. Maybe a bit more camp.
Cult classic implies it was a initially panned to wide audiences.
Clue was ORIGINAL. That's the difference. Nothing Hollywood does is original anymore. Nothing.
Wait... what???
Yes

Still calling it brainless means it's mindless slop to illicit a dopamine response. A subhuman entertainment.

There are lots of better movies out there. But Margot knows someone who knows someone
She does indeed
Boardgame movies have been around since the 80s stop pretending that this is a new thing...
We haven't seen boardgame movies and existing IP drawing this much attention though, no?
