Modern blockbusters

Every modern blockbuster feels like it’s just CGI explosions stitched together with nostalgia bait like eating popcorn for dinner.

Hey for that $30 you also get to have your eardrums blownout with the ridiculously bad and loud audio special effects. Let's not sell the movie going experience short here.

Operation Hail Mary deserves praise for going against this.

Oh by the way there's a celebrity in the movie you either don't know or don't care about, isn't that cool? Doesn't that make you want to watch the movie?

I genuinely don't understand how anyone watched the first Avatar movie and was like "yeah I wanna go see another movie like this". When they announced sequels and that they were going to be like the most expensive movies ever to make I thought it was a joke because I have never heard of anyone who enjoyed the first one

This is how I felt watching The Masters of the Universe trailer

And its the 6th remake of a film originally adapted from a book

I’m pretty sure, not that I can prove it though, that blockbuster movies are either laundering money or embezzling money. I think the movie itself costs (and this is a guess) 60-70% of what they say, including marketing. The rest lines someone’s pocket somewhere. That’s my 2 pence. By the way, I’m perfectly happy and not suicidal.
