in cyrus when jonah hill first meets john c reilly and plays his music for him is one of my favorite comedic movie scenes

No joke: I have often considered buying the Blu-ray solely for that scene.

i bet it sounds great in 4k

Everyone loves it. So, yeah. Probably.

Everyone is raving about Get Out and the trailer seems like a really bad sketch from snl.

i had no idea jordan peele directed it

yeap, which is more confusing about the tone of the movie.

I guarantee it sucks

It just might. But the most recent trailer gave me enough to be curious. And I feel like I should support new ideas right now. So, yeah. I'll probably end up seeing it. But I'm not 100% sold or anything.

Oddly, I'm very excited for this movie. Keanu proved that those guys can at least make a competent feature-length movie, and this one is definitely striving for "film" status, rather than "movie." I think Alison Williams is a great casting choice, and I look forward to seeing her play against type. And I bet there will be more than a couple "uncomfortably funny" situations.

Can I just say that I really dislike this distinction

of course you can.

I really dislike that distinction

Why?

They're the same fucking thing and you sound like a snob.

No they're not. Movies are made to put butts in theater seats, and that effects everything from the script, to the casting, to the marketing. Re-shoots, punch ups, all that shit happens when a movie is conceived as a capitalist enterprise, with the art of the product taking a back seat to the commerce.

Films are more overtly made for their creative aspects, and with proper financing and leadership, are able to deliver a more artistically pure version of the creator's intentions. There's way less studio interference with the creation and execution of the project.

I'm not suggesting one is inherently better than the other, but it should be clear for anyone to see that Keanu is a movie, and Get Out is a film.

And why am I a snob if I claim to see a difference between art for art's sake vs. art for commerce? That doesn't make a lick of sense.

You are definitely a snob and that distinction is arbitrary and silly. You are a silly little snobby goose butt

For the record, this isn't a unique viewpoint or anything. It has sort of fallen out of favor, but it was a distinction that was used often during the indie film boom of the 90s.
