Movies in such a wish-wash subreddit. They seem to obsess over a movie and then once everyone knows that movie they start bashing it. Look at what happened to Drive. For months people were saying it was the hells bells of movies. Then suddenly, people start saying Drive is overrated, the main character is autistic and the blue on orange color contrast is the most cliche use of light ever.

[–]Binky_has_spoken 31 ポイント32 ポイント

They're probably the most echo chamber sub I've ever seen. I consider myself a movie buff but I never go to /r/movies because it's honestly just generally a horrible community.

[–]Dear_Occupant 41 ポイント42 ポイント

I think /r/Music is actually much worse.

[–]Binky_has_spoken 18 ポイント19 ポイント

I've only gone to /r/music a few times, but it always seems like all the top posts are youtube links to songs. And /r/movies is mostly links to movie related pictures. Neither have much room for actual discussion.

[–]Dear_Occupant 18 ポイント19 ポイント

all the top posts are youtube links to songs

The same thirty or so songs. Over and over. You will actually give yourself tinnitus in that echo chamber.

/r/music is to Millennials what Rolling Stone is to my dad. Millenials want to be told how great Radiohead is, and my dad wants to be told how great Lynyrd Skynyrd is.

God I remember reading such in depth well thought out analysis of Frozen after it came out. Then like 2 months later, any thread about it was just everyone saying how overrated and bad it was.

[–]jif_peanut_butter 11 ポイント12 ポイント

Same with Frozen. /r/movies loved it at the beginning but 3 months in, as it grew in popularity, the tides started to turn. Now the top post of any Frozen related thread is 'Frozen is overrated' or 'I can't understand why it got so popular'.

[–]rangatang 14 ポイント15 ポイント

Gravity comes to mind too, also Frozen. They are apparently the most overrated movies ever made and really they actually are so terrible.

[–]vvyn 0 ポイント1 ポイント

Likened with IMDB ratings, first few weeks/ months is driven by hype. Then when people who heard about the overwhelming praise finally watch the movie end up disappointed.

[–]TheBlackWinds 186 ポイント187 ポイント

Aaaaand now the sub has ''The first 10 minutes of UP'' as the banner.

[–]Danimal2485 261 ポイント262 ポイント

This is the sticked post about it.

Okay userbase, we hear you. We know you hate our efforts to recommend lesser-known movies and the idea that we'd ever try to expand your horizons makes you confused and angry. The idea of recommendations is pretentious anyway, like that time my sister recommended chocolate ice cream. How pretentious she was, exaggerating chocolate's importance like that. From now on the subreddit themes will be non-scary, non-threatening, non-challenging safe choices that we know you all are familiar with and love to talk about over and over. Ladies and gentlemen,we present to you our TOTM for June. The first ten minutes of Up.

It made me laugh.

[–]Dear_Occupant 113 ポイント114 ポイント

Oh, fucking wow. That is hilarious. I love those mods so much for doing that. I'd like to suggest a few more themes for upcoming months.

  • July - The ending of The Iron Giant
  • August - Adam Sandler and Henry Winkler in Click
  • September - The RedLetterMedia review of The Phantom Menace
  • October - The opening scene of Saving Private Ryan
  • November - The Big Lebowsky. All of it.
  • December - Wilson in Castaway
  • January - The incinerator in Toy Story 3
  • February - Morgan Freeman's voice in Shawshank Redemption (for Black History Month)
  • March - When the dog dies in I am Legend
  • April - Will's dad on The Fresh Prince of Bel Air

Oh, wait, that last one's not a movie? Fuck it, it belongs on this list anyway.

It was apparently Nicolas Roeg films "Eureka, Performance, Don't Look Now, The Man Who Fell to Earth, Insignifigance, Bad Timing, and Walkabout."

Even a halfhearted film-buff would have seen at least a few of them. One of them is a classic of Australian cinema, one is a classic horror/thriller movie, and two of the others feature such "obscure" personalities as David Bowie and Mick Jagger.

I know that "le wrong generation" nay-sayers like to boast about how little they know of the past, but this is getting ridiculous.

You know what is interesting apparently?

[–]GodOfAtheism 48 ポイント49 ポイント

I made a post about a year ago in Circlebroke2 talking about how /r/movies basically has le 90's kid taste in movies. It's a bit outdated at this point, having been posted a year ago, but I think most of the movies from then are still the same on the top 10. The simple point is that /r/movies is not where you go for deep and meaningful movie discussion.

[–]6086555 50 ポイント51 ポイント

That's really sad..

You want meaningful discussion about gaming/politics/movies/music/world news?

Don't go to r/gaming/politics/movies/music/worldnews

[–]Honestly_ 19 ポイント20 ポイント

I think the defaults in general are all destined to go with the most mainstream tastes because new users are all automatically subscribed whether or not they find meaningful discussion in that particular topic interesting. No one has to search out /r/movies because they're interested in movies, it's already there for them. A person coming onto reddit for other discussions probably isn't going to unsub from /r/movies and is therefore going to see whatever makes their frontpage, and the movie stuff they respond to will probably be the stuff they just saw a commercial for--or what they have seen and remember best. It's kind of interesting to see how that change occurs.

(I posted something similar in the Up thread but I saw that that before seeing this one)

[–]DuvalEaton 23 ポイント24 ポイント

Does that mean that /r/worldnews means extreme islamophobia is mainstream, because if so that is scary.

[–]cheese93007 22 ポイント23 ポイント

Look at the recent European election results and be horrified.

[–]Plasmaman 9 ポイント10 ポイント

Try being a left-leaning European :( or, though I am not, a European Muslim.

[–]eonge -1 ポイント0 ポイント

What was the turnout rate for these elections? I often wonder if they are lower and that might account for the success of these far-right parties across Europe.

[–]tightdickplayer 2 ポイント3 ポイント

i have to entirely disagree about the "mainstream tastes" point. what you're getting from the defaults is mostly kneejerk counter-culture tastes from guys who are WAY TOO SMART to have mainstream tastes, because they're le enlightened reddit users.

i wish r/music had mainstream music on it, because i'm not especially hip these days and i hear all kinds of jokes in the culture about songs i've never heard. instead, it's all queen and flogging molly and sublime and general Middle School Classics for dudes that are way too smart to listen to popular music.

i wish r/worldnews had news of the world on it, but it's mostly just THESE FUCKING ARABS/GYPSIES/WHOEVER, news for guys who are WAY too smart to realize that cultural issues are complicated and maybe the daily mail isn't the place to learn about them.

r/movies is pretty much the same way, but with focus on super hero movies and "deep" schlock

[–]workpuppy 8 ポイント9 ポイント

Don't forget the various book subs.

[–]IAMA_dragon-AMA 8 ポイント9 ポイント

lol dae LOVE harry potter nd twilt suxx

[–]workpuppy 2 ポイント3 ポイント

Shrug. Some of the stuff they like is decent, but the same 20 books come up in almost every discussion, and if you try to suggest anything that's less well know, it gets buried.

[–]I_know_nothing_atall 9 ポイント10 ポイント

Yep. It's not that the books are bad, they're all-time classics. But that's the thing, if you were to Google any form of "top whatever books" you'd find those immediately. What a lot of people want is something they haven't read or heard of all their life.

And if one more person suggests 1984 because it's a mirror image of America today, I'm going to rip my hair out, because yes, I take reddit comments that seriously.

[–]shiigent 4 ポイント5 ポイント

Dude, doncha know, your tv is watching you.

[–]tightdickplayer 1 ポイント2 ポイント

generally i assume that any adult talking about 1984 in comparison to modern society hasn't read a work of fiction since they were required to read 1984 in high school. that assumption proves right more often than you would think.

[–]runpmc 18 ポイント19 ポイント

a few cheeky The Shawshank Redemption fans managed to push the film up to #1, where it has stayed ever since. Since then people have just accepted it as the BEST FILM OF ALL TIME, since it is pretty non-polarizing and nobody really cared about it before it hit the top of the list.

This illustrates what's wrong with lists like those. That movie is not the best movie ever made—it's a good movie. But by virtue of being rather bland but still relatively heartwarming, it has attained this weird cachet for being the least offensive good movie1 ever made.

1 from America.

[–]WTF-BOOM 9 ポイント10 ポイント

It's not true though, Shawshank Redemption has been #1 for years before TDK. IMDB has a complicated system where you can't load the votes, they've explained this many times, 4chan can't come in and spam a movie to #1

[–]runpmc 0 ポイント1 ポイント

's as may be, but the larger point about the movie still holds true. Which is also why 12 Angry Men is so solidly represented. Good film, by no means a particularly great one, but as completely inoffensive as it gets. Therefore, no one votes it down.

[–]smonan 3 ポイント4 ポイント

You couldn't be more wrong. Everyday I see in depth discussions on great films. Everything from Avengers to X-men and even obscure directors like Christoper Nolan.

[–]tightdickplayer 1 ポイント2 ポイント

it seems like it's the movies version of r/music. was it a thing you/and/or other nerds loved in middle and high school? top billing. is it a new thing, a popular thing, or anything else that falls outside of being fight club/flogging molly? GET OUT.

[–]awrf -2 ポイント-1 ポイント

[–]2g_ 20 ポイント21 ポイント

calling anything remotely obscure "pretentious shit no one's ever seen" is pretty much why i'll never take /r/movies or /r/music seriously

[–]aroes 1 ポイント2 ポイント

I've found that the more specific subs for movies and music tend to be a lot better. For example, I love horror movies, and /r/horror is one of my favorite subs to browse.

[–]superwheel 0 ポイント1 ポイント

I don't think most of their users want to be taken seriously.

They just want to talk about the latest blockbuster.

[–]CasinoIndian 4 ポイント5 ポイント

/r/Movies is an interesting place. No real room for dissenting opinion so it's best to just stick to the topics you agree with. It's become sort of a circlejerk out of necessity.

[–]Possible_Novelty 8 ポイント9 ポイント

Doesn't this post technically break SRD's rules since /u/girafa is a mod of /r/movies?

[–]aco620 4 ポイント5 ポイント

It does, but as per Rule 0 of "all rules are subject to our own discretion," I imagine they're giving this one a pass since it's a fairly popular submission, and it isn't often the mods themselves link to the drama (they usually just nuke it,) and were they to alter it in some way to make themselves look good by deleting comments or what have you, it would probably just lead the users to witch hunt and stir up even more drama, especially since girafa is the top mod.

Mod drama, particularly in the defaults, tends to be the most popular next to gender drama after all.

[–]Possible_Novelty 4 ポイント5 ポイント

I see what you're saying. It's pretty good drama, I just wish it was submitted by someone who wasn't directly involved.

[–]Moidah 7 ポイント8 ポイント

Criticizing is easy.

Fun, too.

[–]glmox 20 ポイント21 ポイント

Fucking christ at the very notion of Nicholas Roeg, director of one of the most iconic horror films of the 70s, being "obscure." Like I know /r/movies is garbage but I don't understand how you could've decided that you're prepared to meaningfully contribute to a discussion about movies if you haven't at least heard of some of those films.

[–]lock744 5 ポイント6 ポイント

That thread just makes me feel like I'm reading /r/IgnorantImgur, except it'd be about /r/movies users...

You seriously need to change them to be honest, they've been on there for ages and are just not relevant or interesting at all. It's 'your' subreddit but you could change them up once in a while for God's sake.

Roeg is the spotlighted director, so yeah, it's relevant.

They've been on there for about 16 days, the same amount of time as the new director of the month thread has been up.

Why Nicolas Roeg? Why does he deserve the banner all to himself?

The banner is changed monthly with different directors.

http://www.np.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/262jl6/theme_of_the_moment_nicolas_roeg/

Sure, this probably doesn't represent most /r/movies users (I hope), but wow I loved these comments so much. It's like they missed the big, green sign on their homepage for a full 2 weeks straight.

And does anyone have a screenshot of the old banner?

[–]Volksgrenadier 25 ポイント26 ポイント

As the author of this comment, allow me to state that I was hoping people would focus more on the second part of my statement than the first, but that's the way these things go I suppose.

[–]girafa[S] 22 ポイント23 ポイント

When I first saw your comment, I was seriously going to reply with "Yeah pretty much" while wearing the green mod-hat, but then I saw all the comments from people actually taking it literally, downvoting the mod explanations, and generally maintaining a stern view of their own colons.

[–]Volksgrenadier 17 ポイント18 ポイント

yes, it was all very strange. I apologize for any difficulty or consternation that I caused.

[–]Dear_Occupant 13 ポイント14 ポイント

On behalf of /r/SubredditDrama, I thank you. You have inadvertently triggered the sort of drama that makes the rest of the bullshit on this website worthwhile. If there was a seesaw with you on one end and Literally Hitler on the other, your ass would be the one touching the ground.

[–]girafa[S] 16 ポイント17 ポイント

Nah, this has given us a massive laugh. None of our policies are actually changed, the new (unveiled) TOTM was written a month ago and will roll out with the new CSS theme. Please don't take this flippant fun personally.

You've seen the current theme, right?

[–]Volksgrenadier 9 ポイント10 ポイント

yes. truly "Up" is le greatest and le most touching movie ever.

[–]RickonTarg 0 ポイント1 ポイント

Can you just not post weird photos next time though, like that guy with the gun in his mouth.

[–]EckhartsLadder 2 ポイント3 ポイント

I thought this was a great comment from /u/mushroomer...

Well, guess I'm just going to disable the themes on this subreddit if people are just going to be pricks about everything.

Seriously. You can't act shocked when your audience on a very popular subreddit for movies - with blockbuster & genre news consistantly out-ranking more intellectual film discussion - doesn't "get" your film school level recommendations. Not that it's a bad thing - it's just comically tone-deaf. But the simple fact is, the core audience for this subreddit doesn't give a shit about Touki Bouki or the works of Buster Keaton. It's noble to try and give those films exposure, but you're pushing high art on people who are mostly coming to talk about pop culture.

Does that mean you have to go the complete opposite direction, and rotate between a month of Christopher Nolan, a month of David Fincher, and a month of Pixar? No. Find a happy median. Have a theme of lesser-known (but still moderately recognizable) animated gems. Pay tribute to older genre fare. When Oscar season comes around, then feel free to start advertising some deeper cuts.

You had a good idea. But you got caught up in trying to promote the films you feel people NEED to see, with no regard to if they WANT to see them.

[–]socilology 0 ポイント1 ポイント

Agreed. I came here after finding that thread on /r/movies (and wasn't surprised to find it here) but found it funny that the mods were the ones submitting it considering their response was way more butthurt than /u/Mushroomer and some other guy in the thread (who was basically saying "guys, just have both".)

It makes for good popcorn I guess, but for someone actually interested in movies it is kinda a waste of time.

[–]LETTERSAREMOVING 1 ポイント2 ポイント

pretty much what happens when a sub is a default. it allows a flood of people who arent particularly interested or knowledged in the subject a voice and power to give their opinion, and guess what they are always interested about? mainstream stuff with refusal to explore anything beyond their base interest.

hell id wager /r/atheism wasnt such a shit hole before it became a default, exposing it to angsty people.

[–]ewat85 4 ポイント5 ポイント

Sort off topic, but I just looked through their "Theme of the Month" series and it is awesome.

[–]mach-2 2 ポイント3 ポイント

lol the fact that /u/girafa is posting this makes it all the more funnier. I don't think /r/movies has a good community. It's terrible even. The needless circle jerk about comic/anime movies pisses me off. Especially marvel. I can't take marvel movies seriously. And don't get me started on talking about what they hold dear as classics. I watched blade runner and found it dull, got downvoted to hades for saying that. Watched DREDD and found it cookie cutter, same thing. A majority of the marvel movies fall in the same ball pit.

But the one that pissed me off the most was pacific Rim. Good lord, the amount of hype that movie had was insane. When it got hilariously shrugged off as meh, defenses like "it was supposed to be like that" surfaced. That movie turned me off Del Toro. I was on the fence with the hel boy movies but PR was just another level of shite.

Foreign movies have the same problem. As long as it's not old boy or some other popular foreign movie, you will never have a good discussion.

[–]Deckard_ 7 ポイント8 ポイント

Yeah, fuck that dumb blade runner movie. yawn.

[–]mach-2 0 ポイント1 ポイント

This is exactly it. I never said it was dumb. I said I found it dull, me, my opinion. But you know, nuance is not your strong suit.

[–]Deckard_ 7 ポイント8 ポイント

I understand why you find it dull. That 'dumb' part was not to put you off. For me the movie is great in atmosphere. And yeah, not a lot happens but that is part of the experience. Because the future is not crazy and still 'real life' as always.

[–]lifestyled 2 ポイント3 ポイント

I'll agree with you on blade runner. I fell asleep watching it with my roommate, couldn't hold an interest in it at all, but I enjoyed reading the book.

[–]triforceofcourage 1 ポイント2 ポイント

I adore Blade Runner but absolutely cannot understand the hero-worship of DREDD and Pacific Rim

[–]PapaJacky 3 ポイント4 ポイント

Basically any movie that enough people have heard of (via the internet usually) but not enough people have watched it in theatres to make it a box office success are the movies adored by the largest demographic of Reddit. This includes Dredd, PacRim, Moon, Tucker and Dale v.s. Evil, etc. I'd assume it's because people think the films are obscure to other Redditors and so, above other films, will shill it every time they get the opportunity to. Essentially they're movies that are "obscure" by the main-mainstream standards but are mainstream by Reddit standards.

    [–]dispatcher_83 5 ポイント6 ポイント

    Not at all. Dick saw test footage and was marveled and how "they were able to capture his imagination perfectly". He never saw the film, never saw a rough cut of the film and specifically asked that the film be inspired by, not actually based on the source material. He was also nearing his death and his mind was severely damaged from decades of drug use and his own personal demons attacking his confidence about writing since he wasn't a successful writer while he lived.

    [–]Soler_System 1 ポイント2 ポイント

    I liked the movie better too. Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep is one of PKD's worst books. Great world building, but nothing much in the way of a good story and too much of Dick's drugged-fueled philosophizing that doesn't pay off nearly as well as it does in his better books.

    [–]leaffall 1 ポイント2 ポイント

    True of most PKD movies. The only one that I think is of similar to better quality (for a movie) is Total Recall. I like the story better but it wouldn't work as a movie as well.

    I really wish Minirity Report had used the original story - it's one of my favorites and my least favorite PKD adaptation.

    [–]dispatcher_83 2 ポイント3 ポイント

    I liked both of those but honestly A Scanner Darkly is my favorite novel to film of his.
