I recently saw ‘Don’t Look Now’ (1973). Good picture, a little slow perhaps by today’s standards but worthy of any movie enjoyer’s time! So this movie was shot in Venice. Venice itself being an already beautiful spot to film even today. The way we get to look in a time capsule of Venice in the 70s makes the movie that much better!

People in the 70s could not in fact appreciate it the same way we do now. Concurrently we also can’t do it for today’s movies. Some movies can only be truly appreciated over time is what I believe. This matter can be expressed in both the movie’s message or, as I did, its cinematography. Hence my question now to you.

All my friends are obsessed with Costco and I refuse to join because of this movie. They’ve all never seen it and don’t get why I say this every time they mention it.

I suppose the real question then is… do you go to Starbucks?

IDK why but, I feel like Idiocracy and Wall-E take place in the same universe

I personally feel Wall-E is unrealistic, because clearly at some point they decided to have robots do everything, and the people simply get to lounge around, get fat, and have all their worries cared for. This represents a society where technology made work unnecessary for humans, and generally most humans reap some benefits of it.

This would never never happen. No. The robots will take the jobs, the rich will get richer. We will be left on earth to die horribly.

Ah yes this is not depicted but it happened in the past, the society you see on screen descends from the billionaires that survived
