"I genuinely have more respect for a normie who like Taylor Swift and The Bachelor more than these people who think they're interesting because they like Alex G and A24 films."
"I truly think the next waves on A24 and "indie movie" aesthetics in general. Barbie was lightning in a bottle because it had the novelty "taken seriously" stamp of Greta and delivered. I think A24s in the drivers seat because of "the brand.""
"even 'realistic fictions' and dramas are effectively capeshit now. critically acclaimed 'artsy' films are far from immune: lots of A24 productions are guilty of everything i've talked about. it feels like what we really need at this point is a mumblecore revival honestly"
"Me personally, I very much dislike 'vulnerability' in comedy, the current 80s synth revival in indie music, and most A24 movies."
"This is the movie version of the meme about extremely rich Indian-American kids who write college admissions essays about the struggles of having a stinky home-made lunch and getting teased for it."
"If you could criticize the film industry specifically for anything these days, I'd say it's a lack of "pretense" or intellectual ambition, but your average "movie buff" will inevitably call the new a24 movie pretentious, even when it's holding his hand and overtly telling him the meaning of every sy"
"by far my favorite a24 movie. there might be objectively better ones, but no movie has ever connected with me on the level this one did."
"Before he left the bathroom, he recommended various A24 films. He described them all as 'Kafkaesque' and said that I probably wouldn't understand them."
"back in my days you had to watch hundreds of hours of some boring french shit just to act like you know something about the movies, but now everyone thinks they are cinephiles on twitter while they watch some new a24 slop and have a letterboxd account."
"they're just a distribution company that's had a pretty good body of work in the last decade - some of which became popular with ~film twitter~ I don't understand the hate for a literal movie distributor"
"I'm not a cinephile, so please educate me. I liked some A24 films : hereditary , the Viking one, the suspiria remake. Is this just a matter of some niche thing that you liked (indie occult horror) suddenly becoming popular, causing you to despise it for ruining your superiority complex, or is there "
"if you are 22 and aren't in an a24 movie yet or if you have no tiktok followers there is no hope for you. dont bother going to grad school"
"Though I do feel like he's being used by A24 for marketing purposes."
"Why is everyone pretending to hate A24 now? There are so many other film studios to hate. Also they agreed to SAG-AFTRA's terms"
"A24 is now making a film adaptation of The Backrooms, a throwaway 4chan /x/ post made several years ago. Cultural decay"
"First all those massive threads saying the (extremely terrible) Everything Everywhere All At Once was the best thing ever, now the exact same thing for this show Beef (which admittedly, I have not watched) -- people on the internet are very easily swayed by other people liking stuff and I have a the"
"It is nothing but marvel, horror reboots, A24 and the established name directors. Anything the algorithm decides will not do blockbuster numbers will be relegated to HBO Mac"
"I have a very difficult time imagining anything half as enveloping as the calming-yet-ominous park scene from Blow-Up, or numerous scenes from McGabe & Mrs. Miller, in modern cinema. Even from your favorite A24 🙄"
"Like what's their business model? Why do I like pretty much all of their movies? Cuz I'm soft-brained with no taste but still pretentious somehow?"
"The fact that it's an A24 movie with Conan O'Brien and Ivy Wolk makes it seem like it's going to be a quirky dramedy, and it has moments like that, but at its core it's a deeply disturbing psychological thriller"
"A24 knows this and bypasses all other marketing so they can control the entire conversation online. A24 I'm onto you."
