Reply to Have you completely lost any desire to watch Everything, Everywhere All At Once? by Peon-Flux

I lost the desire about 30 min in. But because so many others think so highly of it, I tried again and again fell asleep around the thirty min mark. I’m not saying it doesn’t deserve the awards or hype, maybe I need coffee, idk

Reply to Why do Hollywood movies that criticize Hollywood itself or capitalism usually end up portraying it as awesome? by MentalDespairing

To answer your first question, capitalism seems to work great for Hollywood—its more awesome for the so-called “suffering artists” than almost anyone else. These people are posers.

Can you imagine if HW produced a film about HW that showcased the wage discrepancy between the lead actors, directors, producers, and the costume/set crews? How about a follow-up sequel that shows the amount of energy they put into campaigning for awards, the amount of money they spend on designer clothes to attend said award shows, etc…
