A month? :mjlol:

The movie got a limited release back in May 2019. Did $167 mill on a $11 mill budget despite that.

It's now February 2020 and it won 4 Academy Awards.

Be completely out of touch with reality, brehs.

You'll see.

I don't know anyone who watched Parasite and this movie had zero buzz in media

The Oscars have been known to be a political organization where voters are essentially bribed.

Joker was far too good a movie to have been snubbed this much all night.

This will go down as one of the WOAT Academy Awards, up there with the year that Crash won

plz, Joker is a dorm room poster of a movie. It's a complete sharking of flicks that came before it

Joker is the worst movie I've ever seen, glad it won as little as it did and Parasite was worthy of the best picture award.

A month? It’s been successful at the box office and showed up on several best of the decade lists and it just came out in May. That’s a wild estimation homie

It's like he took that Marlo quote and built his whole posting style around it.

I can understand him saying no one he knows is talking about the movie; that’s cool. We’ve all got our social circles and not all of those social circles are the same. But there’s still a film culture and film social circles and Parasite’s buzz hasn’t stopped since May. Like loud as fukk buzz.

This movie will be forgotten in a month.
Like Birdman.

Only problem is the movie didn’t say anything
I don’t think that’s fair. The movie clearly had a lot on its mind re: old Hollywood giving way to new Hollywood, getting old and possibly outliving your usefulness, knowing when to throw in the towel or find your second wind, friendship, brotherhood, and commenting on the time Hollywood “lost its innocence” which is what Sharon’s tates death is referred to. The movie has a lot to say. Whether it all works for you is a different discussion

Nobody I know is talking about it either, at the end of the day it's still a movie in Korean. If we're going solely off social circles then we'd only discuss blockbusters.

I've been the one guy promoting foreign movies among my friends since the early 00's. It is what it is. But all that other shyt about the media is 100% nonsense.

Yup. Real shyt? I talk to one of my boys about movies on a serious level. The rest of them are just into lighter shyt. So we’ll talk avengers and bad boys for life and the obvious shyt but I’m not counting on them for in-depth discussion on flicks as a whole. Definitely not Korean flicks.
