I’m making this post to bring attention to original movies being released that people here might not have heard about. If it’s recieved well, perhaps I’ll make this a weekly series of posts about originals being released.
Okay, technically, A Working Man is based on a book, but for all intents and purposes, it’s original.
nobody advertising originals means nobody will see them since they might sa well not exist. Not everyones browser home page is the imdb released today list. Basically nobodies is. Most people are casual viewers. I’d say its very good casual viewer is getting exhausted of capeshit or sequels and wants something new. Unless you want only films people see to be disney cashgrabs or marvel copy pastes, I don’t see why you complain people bringing attention to different films, especially ones not from hollywood.
I’m not complaining about bringing attention to original films. I’m just saying if all the people whining “there’s nothing original” actually wanted original, they’d bother to look up what’s playing
Yeah but I think it’s childish to complain about movies “might as well not existing” if you haven’t even looked for them.
Things that don’t get advertised might as well not exist.
Is that your attitude to everything in life? The only book I’ve seen advertised lately is the new Hunger Games. Do people assume it’s the only book released lately or do people who want to read go to the fucking bookstore and see what else is there? If you need a new stove or a new sofa, do you wait around for an advertisement or do you fucking look for what you want? If you have a child, do you research what toys and books might be good for them or do things only exist if an advertisement happens across your screen?
I dont go on bookdatabase or gamesdatabase or sofadatabase and take all the new books/games/sofas released that day. I usually watch reviews from people i trust and any that have caught my eye from people talking about them online, eg recently released threads. After which I add it to a list to check it out later. As in reminder that word of mouth advertising is advertising and you are complaining about it.
You know why? You would if you checked new movie/whatever releases. It is cause 90-99% of new releases are shit. And again i don’t know a single fucking person who sits in the new releases one and spends hundreds every day watching films (that may not even available in their region) in order to “not be someone influenced by marketing, word of mouth or otherwise” cause that is insane.
Where did I complain about word of mouth advertising? Somehow you took my comment as a complaint about the original post advertising that there are original films. I didn’t take any issue with the post.
My complaint is people saying there are no original films when there are. I think it’s reasonable to expect someone who cares enough to complain that there are no original films to care enough to look up what films are out
Calling people childish for wishing there were more original movies and more advertising for original movies and spending every single post arguing how people should just shut up and find movies on their own. Your attitude says that to me, even if you did not mean it.
I’m irritated by people complaining that something doesnt exist when it does. If they care enough to complain, they should care enough to look up what movies are out. Original movies are released every week. They don’t actually care about wanting to see Original movies advertised, they’re really complaining they don’t want remakes advertised
Starwars, marvel and other slop is completely inescapable even of you avoid info on movies alltogether. Thats why people feel there are no original movies. I understand you have a pet peeve and may have been just venting but nobody was complaining, you just barged in and complained that the thread talking about original movies exists.
