I'm making this post to bring attention to original movies being released that people here might not have heard about. If it's recieved well, perhaps I'll make this a weekly series of posts about originals being released.
Okay, technically, A Working Man is based on a book, but for all intents and purposes, it's original.
I'm not complaining about bringing attention to original films. I'm just saying if all the people whining "there's nothing original" actually wanted original, they'd bother to look up what's playing
Yeah but I think it's childish to complain about movies "might as well not existing" if you haven't even looked for them.
Is that your attitude to everything in life? The only book I've seen advertised lately is the new Hunger Games. Do people assume it's the only book released lately or do people who want to read go to the fucking bookstore and see what else is there? If you need a new stove or a new sofa, do you wait around for an advertisement or do you fucking look for what you want? If you have a child, do you research what toys and books might be good for them or do things only exist if an advertisement happens across your screen?
Where did I complain about word of mouth advertising? Somehow you took my comment as a complaint about the original post advertising that there are original films. I didn't take any issue with the post.
My complaint is people saying there are no original films when there are. I think it's reasonable to expect someone who cares enough to complain that there are no original films to care enough to look up what films are out
I'm irritated by people complaining that something doesnt exist when it does. If they care enough to complain, they should care enough to look up what movies are out. Original movies are released every week. They don't actually care about wanting to see Original movies advertised, they're really complaining they don't want remakes advertised
People shouldn't complain without checking to see if the thing they claim to want is out there. Just because Marvel is in your face all the time it's fair fir people to assume they're the only movies out there? Again, that's like assuming the Hunger Games is the only book currently in stores. People who don't care enough to know what movies are out shouldn't complain about there being no original movies
But I wasn't complaining about this thread existing
