The more people see ‘Digger’, the higher the average score. This is an inverse to ‘Trap’ which kept dipping with subsequent increase in audience. Two polarizing films with opposite trajectories.

In film studies, our prof once went on a rant abt how we have to "de-americanize" our view of art. iirc "Americans are obsessed with plot. Form, function, feeling, they ignore it all to ask if the plot is believable or logical. All they care about is outsmarting the artist."

‘Digger’ (2026)
Is there an example of a film that was panned by critics when it came out but is regarded as a classic now

I feel bad for anybody who didn’t like ‘Digger’. It’s okay though, there’s no shame in a rewatch & recalibration ❤️🪏

they stole millions from the company about to be merged into paramount to make a batshit masterpiece about how movies can’t save the world don’t get me wrong, i would love for this to been a hit, but FUCK the pocket watching. THE MOVIE GOT MADE!! THEY LOST WBs MONEY NOT MINE!!
‘DIGGER’ has opened with $8M domestically on a projected budget of $160M-$180M. Biggest Hollywood box office bomb of 2026 & one of the biggest bombs of all time.

when people find John Wilson mean spirited, I feel like the call is coming from inside the house. you can laugh at the absurdity of humans without automatically looking down on them

Reminder that if you (often) complain about movie length you don’t enjoy watching movies, you enjoy saying you watched movies.
Call me old school, but I would have liked HOPE (2026) more if, I dunno, it were cut down to 90-minutes, had better special effects, and had a proper ending. A quality 90 minute movie is better than shoddy bloat that never ends.

a former employee coming out as saying AI could 100 percent eventually kill humans and then opening instagram to see everyone using chatgpt to see “what we’d look like in the 80s”

The part I hate most about AI is that I now approach art with suspicion instead of excitement and wonder
