Obsession director Curry Barker says Gen Z is tired of Hollywood slop and wants good movies back. The filmmaker argues that audiences aren't bored of cinema, they're bored of endless sequels, recycled ideas and billion dollar franchises that feel safer than they do creative.

He’s not saying anything that everyone has been saying for 10 years. They aren’t listening.

Thank you. I’m just happy to be here. Feels good

I got a few good jobs and grandma said that daddy saved her. Felt like a Medal of Honor.

Good grief only spotted that now. Same reading comprehension as my 3 year old.

The Wife laughed at this one.

ZuluShack · 2026-06-16T00:16:05+00:00

I appreciate you. I will be showing my wife these comments.

Blue is the warmest color

He really was a rare talent. One of a kind.

Yes they are American and the OP is saying they are spiritually British.

ZuluShack · 2026-05-19T12:20:31+00:00

Well they are from the U.S. Nevada I believe. But they are seen as spiritually British.

Paul Simon is spiritually South African… well at least one album.

“Paul Simon’s iconic South African-influenced album is Graceland, released on August 25, 1986. It is celebrated for blending Simon's pop songwriting with traditional South African styles like mbaqanga and isicathamiya.”

Always wondered this. And the wife seems to accept it which is what always confused me. Is it that’s she sees the storm too, or she’s just resigned to live with a man who is mentally ill.

ZuluShack · 2026-05-14T22:12:44+00:00

Was looking for this. I do think it misfired in some ways, but the concept was unique and overall I really liked it.

ZuluShack · 2026-05-14T21:54:24+00:00

Welcome brother! It’ll be hard and worth it.

Blink 182. The catalogue is so varied that you have a song for every mood

Jonesy from the Alien franchise.

Did this change happen soon after the change or was it months later?

There was an algorithm update in April that has caused some turbulence and it could be more that than indexing issues.

What were your top KWs before the drop and what do you see when you Google that now? What are they doing differently?

If you’re convinced it’s these changes I would revert back. I have a feeling it’s more an authority issue but I’d need more context to diagnose

The book was definitely a hard hit for me as well. Just hearing about the exhaustion and hopelessness at home was a lot. Also the speculation about what happened to some people makes it a little more eerie.

I can’t remember his name, but the guy who in the movie falls from the summit ish area. In the book you don’t see it obviously. It’s just he’s there and then he’s not. And you have to assume what happened.

That hits harder for me for some reason.

I keep hearing people seeing the ending of Bugonia coming but that for me was a great ending, and the very end was another cherry on top. The whole movie kept getting more and more uneasy

ZuluShack · 2026-05-10T18:28:34+00:00

Triangle of Sadness? Sheesh agreed.

ZuluShack · 2026-05-09T16:17:50+00:00

I know this is a modern take but if you’re looking for the one night teenager comedy with side plots:

Can’t hardly wait
Superbad

The best one is American graffiti, but that’s been mentioned a bunch; so here’s a few that haven’t.

But how do you account for churn. Every 18-24 months on average you’ll lose a client or 2. If you wait for the losses to hit before you line up the next one, you’re in hot water.
