Interestingly, Margot Robbie, the actress for Barbie, is actually a Lemmy user. I randomly found her in a thread talking about the movie industry strikes.
She is also the moderator of !android@lemmy.world.
Such a multi-talented actress!
I didn’t believe you at first, but it seems to check out! That’s awesome!
There’s no way that’s her real account - she barely has a social media presence, idk if she was even on Reddit.
Lol, if i was as famous i too wold use an A.I. generated image of myself as my social media profile picture.
I’m not famous and if I have to put a picture of myself up in public I’d be AI generating myself.
Idk, there’s been a ton of great horror movies released this year and last year
Trying to think off the top of my head so I’m probably forgetting a lot but for 2023:
- Beau is Afraid
- Evil Dead Rise
- Knock at the Cabin
- The Boogeyman (haven’t watched but heard it’s good)
- BlackBerry (Not horror but also a great 2023 movie)
For 2022:
- The Menu
- Pearl
- Bodies Bodies Bodies
- Black Phone
- Mad God
- A Wounded Fawn
- Men
- X
- Spoonful of Sugar
- Barbarian (thanks mr_sifl)
I think there’s a lot of good movies coming out but they just don’t get the same kind of social media attention as the biggest ones like Oppenheimer or Barbie
We used to make midbudget movies. Of those, probably speed is the most expensive and it’s budget wasn’t insane.
It’s good they are coming back
Budgets in dollars.
GUMP = 55m approx
Pulp = 8m
Shawshank = 25m
Interview = 60m
Natural Born Killers = 34m
True Lies = 115m
Maverick = 75m
The Mask = 23m
Ace Ventura = 15m
Speed = 30m
The Crow = 23m
Films seem more expensive today regardless of inflation, but I’m all for more mid budget, more varied films coming out again too
Edit: formatting.
Legend.
I glossed over True Lies in the original list. Completely missed it.
Obviously that has the highest budget. Probably half of it is just the F16 set piece at the end.
What I’ve learned from this list is that period pieces are way more expensive than I thought.
I assume Interview, Maverick, and Gump are all inflated just due to the historical sets.
Inflation calculator says a 1990 was worth 2.3 times more, so most of those budgets are still tiny.
Holy shit, Pulp Fiction was done on $8.5 million. That seems absurdly cheap. I honestly figured it would be closer to Ace Venture, cost-wise.
Also The Crow and The Mask having matching budgets surprises me. I always assumed The Mask was a more expensive film given the amount of CG work it needed.
For any indie movie goers, how has the indie scene been compared to the 90’s?
Yup, I saw almost all of them in theater when they were released, except Shawshank I never saw it, yeah I know it’s about the best movie in the world, but I never saw it, go figure. And I have not seen Maverick too.
