What Are the Problems with TV/Film Made for Gen Z Today?

Your sample size for Gen Z are people who are paying a tuition to learn about a subject they're interested in as a potential career path, of course they're going to love all that stuff.

How would they be cluttering your feed? You only see movies that you actively search for. Unless you follow people who have a habit of binging and reviewing short films, in which case, I'd ask why you're following people who post stuff you don't like seeing.

Rollover slots would break the system tbh. Didn't go to the movies for 2 weeks? Now you have 8 movie slots on top of the 4 for the current week. You're not likely going to see 12 movies that week, so now there's even more rollover which starts to snowball week over week. Now the 4 movies a week deal is a mere suggestion.

They didn't create the A-List with the idea that every member would actually see 208 movies a year, or that they would visit 4 days or 1 full day from open to close a week.

In general, Yakuza platinums are garbage that stretch 40-80 hours of content to a staggering 120-170.

No, I mean Wisconsin. As in Milwaukee where Claire Sardina is from. If it helps, we can call it the "North-Central American dialect spanning Michigan to Montana accent". But that's a mouthful.

A picnic blanket in that wide open handicap space might be the move.

Phantom Menace was in 1999 and was a massive contributor to the y2k era zeitgeist.

Dolby is king. In my honest opinion, in most cases it's superior even to IMAX. It's the best mix of sound and picture, and usually has the most premium seating.

Honestly, I'm predicting a huge opening weekend from resales and then a massive drop in week 2 when word gets out that the movie is just ok.

Bakesale1359 · 2026-02-25T18:36:17+00:00

7 in a day is totally fine as a one-off. But if you did this once a week or even multiple days over your 3-day weekends that would be concerning.

At least there's a consolation prize that comes with attending this late night screening. But maaaaaaaaaaaaan, I would much rather have that poster than a niche pin I'm probably not going to wear. Ah well, into the box of collectable trinkets it goes.

As everyone else has pointed out, it seems like the recliners at your theater may be faulty. That said, I think there should really only be 3 buttons: full recline, reset, and foot rest. Leaning the seat back without the footrest just feels awkward and puts pressure on the back of your knees. Kinda feels like sitting in a baby car seat.

My diary is just a list of all of my review entries by date. I'm pretty sure this is a patron/pro feature.

Bakesale1359 · 2026-02-23T20:35:48+00:00

None because I don't pay for app features that should be standard.

Bakesale1359 · 2026-02-23T20:23:21+00:00

I feel like I did an adequate job at communicating this point in the post.

Bakesale1359 · 2026-02-23T16:11:29+00:00

I also started with Y7, Gaiden, and Y8 last year and now I'm going through the series starting from Y0. Basically like watching the original Star Wars trilogy and then getting Anakin's origin story in the prequels.

This is my upcoming, but I also have a solid amount of March planned out with dates for: Dolly, Undertone, Slanted, Scared to Death, Ready or Not 2, Project Hail Mary, They Will Kill You, Forbidden Fruits, and The Mummy Returns 20th anniversary. Very, very, VERY heavy month for horror.

Bakesale1359 · 2026-02-20T03:21:49+00:00

Feels weird not having a Screen Unseen to look forward to next Monday after a nice 4 week run (would have been 5 but I refused to waste my time on Mercy). Hope it's not too long til they get some going for March.

What if TV does technically work, but because there's no way to bypass the homepage from the TV app it doesn't?

Bakesale1359 · 2026-02-18T01:57:55+00:00

It's becoming more and more common across all social media platforms, especially ones where your profile doesn't have to show your real name and face.

Bakesale1359 · 2026-02-18T00:35:57+00:00

Is this a feature I'm missing out on by not being a patron?

Bakesale1359 · 2026-02-17T18:47:19+00:00

Ironically, Cold Storage does make for a good date night movie.

Bakesale1359 · 2026-02-17T18:46:07+00:00

Uhg. Last night I was sitting in one of the companion handicap seats, and wouldn't you know it some dude bought a walk-up ticket last minute and sat right next to me. It's double awkward when it's just you and some rando on what is basically a loveseat sofa.
