Hollywood has the same problem that the video game industry currently has: bloated budgets, creative bankruptcy (lots of sequels, reboots, and remasters)…one or both industries are heading towards are soft crash, to where theses budgets are going to have to come down, and more chances can be able to be taken to revive both industries

[@ducko5404]

We definitely need more low budget stuff

Took my kid to go see IF and the kid said “What if we just go see Furiosa instead” My first time feeling disappointed in a movie was with Masters of the Universe. I was so pumped lmfao

[@TheSuckoShow]

Movies that immediately abandon an awesome fantasy setting to place the characters in the real world ought to be outlawed. And I don't care if we'll lose a few decent movies in the process.

[@funkymonk255]

the way this movie is described makes it sound like fosters home for imaginary friends, but it does make me think about how parents mustve reacted to a don bluth movie like the land before time which is ALL about the idea of a child not having their parents there with them.

[@RedCowArcade]

That is a good way to describe the movie. Also, yeah, I don't think I could show Gloria Land Before Time, it'd be too much.

I was a very sensitive kid and still am, but what gets me through it was my dad talking me through everything as a kid. Way to go, Frankie.

I remember the first time I felt depressed, watching Jumanji on VHS with my family around 2-3 years old. The scene where Robin Williams finally escapes and everything has changed freaked me out. I distinctly remember wanting to cry, but feeling like I couldn’t.

Red Letter Media just did their own deep dive into the 'death of movies' which you've probably watched by now.

[@azn1011]

there's been a recent "reevaluation" of the '93 Super Mario Bros movie with people saying that it's good, actually. can you believe that? edit: i dunno the first R rated movie i saw was Terminator 2 and i was 5 at the time and thought it was awesome. different kids can handle different things. also the Super Mario Bros movie, Barbie and Oppenheimer made tons of money just last year. if you make something people want to go see in a theater, they'll go

[@johneden2033]

People are so deprived of new cultural developments that don't suck that they're desperately latching on to even the crap from the past, which in comparison to today's stuff is (seemingly) gold. Like how the star wars sequels were so bad people have started "reevaluating" the prequels to cope.

[@noisew4ll]

i think the fnaf movie is actually the perfect introduction to "horror," for a kid, and teaching them that it's not real, you're not in danger, these are supposed to be "fun" scary, not "you will actually die" scary

[@ProgSnob14]

My grandpa had a love for horror movies and a creaky old house....needless to say those were terrifying sleepovers, but very fond memories now.

[@PowertipBrushhead]

7:44 Props to you on that. I have a young nephew whose parents let him watch pretty much as much youtube as he wants and the results haven't been good.

[@Valentine82]

I recently watched Furiosa at the cinema. It’s honestly one of the best movie experiences I have had in ages. It’s a very good movie, hopefully word of mouth spreads and people support it.

[@DarthDoodie]

I think Gloria is old enough for some lite scary stuff. I mean our parents let us watch scary stuff in the 80's and 90's and look at the well adjusted adults we turned into... on second thought. lol. another great vid guys have a great day red cow family.

FOMO in regards to films is partially due to the release cycle, I remember what a big deal it was to get the VHS or DVD of a movie since it generally came out 6+ months after it released in theaters.

[@TheUballe]

Thanks for keeping me company during my morning poop!

[@ConnerNielsen6]

Listening to you talk about your kid’s interest in something that scares her really took me back! I remember hearing my mom talk about this thing called “The Shining” and it spooked me and intrigued me at once. I badgered her to tell me every scary detail, and you’re totally right when you describe it as a “scandalized child” 😂 The way kids process fear is interesting, and I think you’re totally right when you say it was important to accompany and guide her through something that scares her. Really sad Furiosa is bombing hard. That movie rules. 😢

[@mathmusicstructure]

I watched Aliens when I was maybe 8 or 9. I was afraid I had a chest-burster for years.

[@BM-wh5qk]

I also had the Mario storybook as a kid that Frankie mentioned. It's now in my daughter's bedtime story rotation.

[@succojones]

I think there is a Mario origin story episode, but it's an episode of Mario 3 or Mario World, not Super Show.

[@LiamBoyle-r8x]

So funny how James pronounced madela

[@angiead]

I really liked IF. Made me ball like a baby. Poor Gloria getting sick, we've all had that "I'm fine, I can eat more" moment immediately followed by the realisation that nope you can't. I saw Furiosa over the weekend. Chris Hemsworth was definitely having a lot of fun 🤣is what I'd say about it. It was dumb action and I'm a sucker for post apocalyptic shit. Great pod clip guys.

[@DatDudeVince]

My gf and I really enjoyed If. Movies not doing well in the theaters can be chalked up to many factors. 1. Movies go to streaming way too fast so most of us can and will just wait for PVOD/VOD. 2. Ticket prices are ridiculous, along with increasing concessions. 3. Content overload. - Just my 2 cents.

[@melancholoid]

Awesome Vid! Thank You very much for Your Work! Greetings from Germany

[@broyleswg]

The narrative about people not going to the theaters has been persistent, but I also notice how many of my friends I talk to don't even know that these movies are coming out. "I didn't know there was a new POTA" and "I didn't know there was a new Mad Max". I wonder if the way studios advertise and raise awareness for these films is itself behind the times. I keep up with movie news and go to the theater every couple of weeks, and I haven't been able to figure out why more casual moviegoers just aren't paying attention... Likely it is all tied in to the streaming thing you guys are talking about. People watching less cable TV and more streaming are also probably seeing less ads, right?

[@Zmoney792]

To add to the comment you made about the movie being late, there was apparently some development hell aspects to it. To my understanding, originally Warner bros was going to make the movie around like 2016 or so. The story I heard was that the creator of the games hated what they were doing and scrapped the whole thing. Then blumhouse picked it up and announced they were making it, and restarting from square one (like the entire thing, script and all). I always assumed covid and the strikes messed with it even further too.

[@MrBump2]

Ya know what idgafa?! Streaming services, subscribing to them, but you gotta consume the latest Star Wars spin off or else you'll be living under a rock, well lemme tell ya.. that's a rock worth living under! Remember when there was just Hulu and Netflix? Now there's so many streaming services it'll make your head spiiiiiin! What's worse is when they pull a show off without warning... yeaaaaahhh, and then you gotta go on a wild goose chase, but the goose your chasing is laying crap filled eggs! Now that's an egg you don't want in your basket. Netflix and chill? More like Netflix and spill my ass all over these shitty streaming servics!

The only thing I'm looking forward to in media right now is the next One Piece live action season, since the first season was surpringsingly good and my favourite character from the original will get portrayed next.

[@deludedreality89]

I've never really felt let down by a movie. I guess it's because I generally don't get overly hyped up for most things. I haven't been to a movie theater since 2010, so I think somewhere along the way my mind made the switch to put movies in the 'nice to have but not a necessity' category. I can't believe so many youtube channels want people to get back into the habit of going out to movies all the time like people did in the past. That's mindless consumerism. All forms of entertainment have to earn the ticket/purchase. A discerning audience is a good thing.

[@11gingin]

i felt that for mission impossible 2. what a fucken awful piece of shit

[@Se7enBeatleofDoom]

I bet you regretted taking her to see IF over Garfield.

[@immortaluglyfish2724]

"It's not what I dreamed it would be" LMAO, been there 😂 Edit: This movie sounds like a live action version of "Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends." I can dig it. 14:30 - Yeah it's sad, culture is so much more atomized than it's ever been before. I think it's a double edged sword, people can get whatever content they're looking for, but there's much less of a sense of a unified zeitgeist than there used to be even just 10 years ago.

[@MichaelMichael-us6wq]

Does anyone have the same thought of IF being “inspired” by Fosters Home for Imaginary friends?

[@bestudesu4833]

Ryan Reynolds falls into the same category of the rock of people i'm simply tired of seeing in every single movie that comes out. All their movies just blend together into a mass of mediocrity.

[@NintenDub]

Franky your wrong, ppl do wanna go see movies..but everyone is sick of the remakes, and the troupes and the unoriginality and dry stake fake ass comesy, and over cg-ification. Movies are so lame now. There arent big huge masterful flicks that often anymore. The story is always the last thing of thought. My local theater shut down years ago and the last movie i saw in theaters was finding dory, prob 9 years ago now. Ppl wanna go but they dont wanna pretend to be eating a wuality dinner at mcdonalds

[@HiGlowie]

FNAF is total slop. That being said, if I was a young kid I’d probably like it.

[@memaimu]

One argument for not going to the theater that I don’t see too often is that we now have 8K TVs with surround sound at home. Then, as you said. On top of already paying for the service that will have the movie on streaming soon after it releases.

[@nickstarlingch]

I've had a 1080p DLP projector since 2012, really really nice image quality - looks great on my 140" projector screen, cost me $700 at the time. It looks better than a lot of projectors I've seen in theaters, and my sound system is better-calibrated. Throw in my 65" 4K 120Hz TV and my gaming PC that plays most games at 4K 120FPS, and the theater just hasn't impressed me in over a decade. Pacific Rim was impressive, then I saw it on my projector and it was even cooler. I can eat whatever I want during the flick, pause, rewind, take a call, go to the bathroom, no issues, and I get to actually own media I purchase, no one-time rental. I have a little childhood nostalgia for theaters, but it's only inevitable that they go away. Seems like a big part of the reason the studios are scrambling to throw away all their money at streaming services.

[@ProgSnob14]

[@genericcharacter9319]

I think another big issue is the sheer volume of media available to consume. Almost everyone has a backlog of movies, Anime, TV series and video games. Put KZbin and Twitch into that and people just dont have enough hours in the day. Back in the 90s/2000s everyone got excited about the same thing, tbere is no Monoculture today like there was then.

[@deludedreality89]

Yup, and if you notice, most of the big hits are movies/shows that are based on what was popular/part of the monoculture in the past. Oppenheimer was an outlier that got swept up with Barbie. But that's certainly the case with Barbie, Mario, Sonic etc. Once that well runs dry, it'll truly be game over for movie theaters.

[@funkymonk255]

@@deludedreality89 i think the oppenheimer name is part of the monoculture because its something everyone has learned about in school before. also i dont necessarily believe that its game over for movie theaters when the member berry well runs dry because weve seen smaller movies like anyone but you become big successes and it was just a romcom that caught peoples attention. part of the decline of movie theaters is definitely owed to the service aspect and the climbing prices of tickets though

[@talt_lo]

I think its sweet that during fnaf you reminded your kid that it's just a movie and talked about the technical aspects I think another thing too when talking about the box office failures is that marvel has conditioned people to do homework before watching new releases. The people I've talked to think they need to watch other Apes movies or Mad Max movies in order to understand the new ones, even tho they're pretty much standalone. Some things are perceived as "made for the fans," or niche, that general audiences feel like it's not made for them

Instead of talking to people at work/school/neighborhood about the new movie, you can easily find a niche community online to talk about whatever you come across. I think that contributes to people not having FOMO over current movies.
