Look, I’m not robophobic. Some of my best friends are cyborgs. I just don’t want them living in my neighborhood, you know?

Fantastic!

Live-action remake.

ohhh it sold lots so it must mean it’s good

That has never been true at all. Good movies can flop at the box office, and mediocre or outright bad movies can make $1 billion. Your last paragraph is 100% correct. Box office is a measure of popularity, not quality.

How is what a movie makes matter to the audience?

It means we will get similar movies like this one, for example.

When you buy a movie ticket, you are casting your vote for that movie. You’re sending a message to the studio that says, “Yes, we want more films like this.”

The message to take away here is, if people want to see more original, quality-driven movies (and not endless IP-driven sequels and remakes), then they need to go support them at the cinema.

ISO 8601 rules!

First we mine, then we craft.

When I realized that theaters get DCP’s that are like 2-4 times the bitrate of a Blu-ray disk I died a little inside. I want those.

Theater DCPs are notorious for having insane amounts of DRM - you’d need a quantum computer to decrypt it, and even if you could there’s invisible watermarks all over the screen identifying the exact location and time that the movie was playing in, the studio would immediately find out and sue you for everything you have. Not to mention the theater that played it would lose their license and go out of business.

So, for the most part, movie theaters are the only instance where DRM actually won.

But, to my knowledge, there have only been two movies that got their DCPs leaked, and even then, they were old movies released decades ago. One of them is a war movie, and the other one is an animated movie - PM me for details.

screw their crypto bro dictatorship

I wasn’t aware of any crypto bro dictatorship in Argentina, did you possibly have it confused with El Salvador?

It can’t be dumber than the people currently in charge.

Wanna bet?

Where there’s smoke, they pinch back.

This thread is about the 2025 live-action remake that released today. Did you mean to talk about that one, or the original 2002 animated version?
