A24 is cool but I'm sick of the overemphasis on something being an A24 movie.
Anyone know what I mean? Every movie they distribute, there's gotta be a thousand comments of "I'LL SEE ANYTHING A24 PUTS OUT" or for Uncut Gems it's like "OMG A24 MAKING ADAM SANDLER RELEVANT AGAIN".
I suppose the easy solution is to just not read the comments.

I suppose the easy solution is to just not read the comments. I pretty generally dislike A24's output. They have a niche (not for me), but pretty much every movie I've seen from them starts amazing then falls on its face in Act II, with exceptions. Usually it's supposed to be symbolic or analogous which opens the door for 'you just don't gettt it you uncultured swine.' Meh.

Just saw In a Lonely Place for the first time and I loved every minute of it. The writing was top notch, some of the best dialogue ever written.

A24 is cool but I'm sick of the overemphasis on something being an A24 movie. Anyone know what I mean? Their track record is preposterously good. They've had duds, but it's pretty easy to see why anyone gets stoked after finding out it's an A24 movie.

It makes absolutely no sense -- a ton of different directors have helmed A24 movies but they ALL just 'fall on their face' in the second act due to muddy symbolism? Okay player.

Unrelated to those shenanigans: Watched The Wild Bunch the other day, that was beyond exceptional. I wish it was twice as long. Also watched First Man and thought that was extremely, extremely well done. Space movies 4 ever.

That A24 take is legit one of the worst takes I've seen in here in a long time. But you do you.

Bad movie release weekend. No care about Zellwegger pandering for an Oscar playing late period Judy Garland.
Not that I dont love Oscar pandering movies, because Lord knows I do. But yeah.

The Death of Dick Long looks fun, surprised A24 hasn't advertised it very much cause all the reviews I've read all say that it's a much superior follow-up to Swiss Army Man.

Yes, but aside from the handful of movies they produce, their strength mainly lies in their good taste - which obviously isn't nothing. But, people seem to praise them as if they were part of the creative process, rather than the commending the people who actually worked on the movie. Like, it only becomes an "A24 movie" when they aquire the rights to distribution.

I don't know man, I think the directors A24 tends to pick up (Safdie brothers, Eggers, Yorgos, Aster, Schrader) as well as the actors in those movies receive their deserved mountains of praise too, so I don' understand that complaint either.

I think the reason the studio gets so much praise is because the directors themselves love making movies with them because they get so much creative control. Based on things I’ve read they really just let the directors do what they want, unlike other studios that end up forcing directors to cut this, or include that, etc. Additionally, the studio gets credit for seeking out these great (usually lesser known) directors to make movies. So sure, the directors, and everyone involved with making the movies deserve credit, but so do A24 for allowing it to happen. Like, with A24s track record, they are obviously doing something right.

It has nothing to do with being uncultured swine your just dumb.

Totally, totally. And that's all great - I agree. A24 should absolutely receive praise for the movies they've produced. I'm more referring to the movies they merely distribute, which is a majority of them. In that case, the studio has nothing to do with the creative process. They're essentially just slapping their name on the front of the trailer and people go nutso for it. In that case, A24 is absolutely not "bringing Sandler back from the grave" or whatever. It's mostly just people not knowing what they're talking about, I guess. Anyways... /rant

stumbled across wild tales last night. best movie i’ve seen in awhile. Yes! I LOVED WILD TALES. One of the best theater experiences. Crazy opening and a terrific tone setter for the rest of what’s to come. What’s so crazy is that I saw this not long after that Ethiopian plane was hijacked in 2014. Everyone in the theater just kind of looked around at each other like...you can tell this ain’t an American movie or this shit woulda been pulled. . The end wedding sequence is just total madness and fun. I need to revisit this soon.

Color Out of Space was mad bonkers. Lovers of crazy Nic Cage performances will not be disappointed.
