This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

By 2050, movies would become vertical and under 1 minute long.

I hate the people who have allowed this to become popular.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They have to be longer, allowing extra time for bullshit nonsense telling us to smash that like and subscribe button.

[–] funkless@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

like today how movies are 6 hours long but only 4 of them are Scorsese jerking off?

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Killers of the Flower Moon did feel like it was an entire day long.

[–] Furball@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 year ago

They will be made horizontal but converted to vertical by putting subway surfers gameplay underneath

It sounds like a one minute movie to me

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 57 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Nice try, but all movies by 2050 will be strings of 15 second advertisements that just share a common cast.

While a mincraft speedrun plays on a separate screen

Aren't Disney movies already advertisements?

It doesn't sound too far-fetched, I stopped watching MCU stuff with Age of Ultron and have never seen a Star Wars movie. If you told me that the next big release (probably not the Marvels because nobody seems to care about that) ended with a Star Wars crossover tease I would absolutely believe you. And all that Spiderman stuff HAS happened as far as I know, just with figuratively jerking each other off rather than literally.

“Be sure to collect your complimentary jar of Captain America™ or Brigadier General Marvel™ sauce on the way out. Creamy Alfredo with a hint of pineapple or spicy warm marinara, you decide!” *note acceptance of sauce constitutes acceptance of terms and conditions for Disneylife™

“The Disneys”

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Bold of then to assume movies by then won't be full-on advertisements for the most useless products that have a 90000% price markup. And that they'll last more than a minute as to accommodate the average attention span being so atrocious that focusing on anything will be impossible.

[–] Vlhacs@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago

It's already here. It's called the Michael Bay Transformer movies.

[–] uid0gid0@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

You need to clarify if you meant Champions of Europe or Captain Britain specifically.

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Relatable post, I kind of loathe the MCU and all those boring formulaic movies.

[–] KevonLooney@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have news for you about... all fiction in history. No one reads pulp fiction novels from 100 years ago anymore, but they were very popular.

[–] 100_kg_90_de_belin@feddit.it 2 points 1 year ago

I'm sure there were people dunkin' on Homer for his boring, formulaic poems

[–] Fwoggey@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

This is gold MeatCanyon material

[–] Send_me_nude_girls@feddit.de 8 points 1 year ago

Not enough twitch and Fortnite and emoji references.

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The saddest part about all the posts in this thread is that not only are they realistic, but literally all it takes to prevent that stuff from happening is not buying into it... But we will. We will...

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.de 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

By then, Sony and Morbius will have been owned by Disney too

[–] GreenMario@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Disney will be the only one left and the only one allowed to release movies. All movies are Marvel, Star Wars, and Pixar Cars & Toy Story sequels.

[–] Itte@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Verification Can 2

[–] Kerandir@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago
