Well liminalbros the first reviews are trickling in... and the verdict seems to be "just ok, squandered potential"

It’s A24. It will be well shot and produced and will probably have a good score, but the story will be lacking. There will be enough ambiguity in the interpretation that they can hide behind a cloak of artistic license. The high production values and open endedness will trick a bunch of people into thinking it was great and anyone who disagrees will be accused of just not getting it. A handful of spergs will latch onto it for awhile and we’ll get a spate of too many threads, but not for too long since the film doesn’t feature little girls anons can masturbate to.
In the end, the film will be carried by its capable production but the story will feel like it’s trying too hard to trick people into thinking that it’s deeper than it is.

This isn't really new, Fede Álvarez got a Hollywood career off a short movie he posted to YouTube and that was in 2006. And it was dogshit. Janky CGI Iron Giant robots destroying a city for no reason, music stolen from 28 Weeks Later and shots lifted directly from Independence Day.
>>
Spoilers incase you want to skip it

The nigger is the villain of the movie. He becomes corrupted by the backrooms and starts bringing his coworkers into the backrooms so they can get killed there. His biggest target is the Psychiatrist woman. She evades him and he ends up becoming bacteria food.
overall 5/10. Watch Kanes YT series or Insominas series instead.

It's not a horror movie concept, more like an inarticulate attempt at a Twilight Zone episode. They're different genres, modern horror is influenced by slashers and tends to take place in a pocket universe, ironically that's not the appeal of the backrooms. Twilight Zone eps don't take place strictly in a pocket universe, they're supposed to be unsettlingly close to real situations, like it could happen to you. There's an element of sad mystery in the person thrown from their normal life into grotesque circumstances. It's very different from a horror film where the main character is either pure victim or a witch hunter. The backrooms aren't interesting because they're a long series of rooms with a monster, they're interesting because you can't get out. Movie should've focused on the psychology of being trapped in there.

The backroom concept appeals primarily to spergs and they do not take kindly to deviation from what they know and find comforting. If he'd changed anything to make it more original, the internet would have shit its diaper from the very first teaser of the set design.

legends are adapted to film all the time
The backrooms are just a modern legend born from the internet. It's like doing a film about bigfoot or alien abductions or hansel and gretel, or vampires, or...
Basically anything in the public domain is fair game. Backrooms are popular with autists, so it makes sense to make a faithful adaptation of the concept for a film. You'll capture that sweet sweet built-in audience.

>A24 didn't contact him because of his dad
There is a very very very good chance that he got on A24's radar because of mutual contacts. Like any proud father, he likely bragged about his son who was making an amazing web series to friends and colleagues and eventually the right people checked it out. It's unlikely A24 would have stumbled across the series had they not gotten a heads up, and it's also likely that the kid wouldn't have known how to play "let's make a deal" and actually get the thing pushed across the finish line without help from Dad and friends. Most deals start with a production company showing interest and end years later with no money or contracts and a "thanks but it's not right for us at this time".

Yes, I know his web series was already popular, but people in the mainstream industry are generally ignorant of what's happening online. It seems impossible to people who follow this stuff religiously especially when the views are going gangbusters, but trust me when I say that stuff that feels like a big deal on youtube rarely makes a blip on the radar of people who work in mainstream TV and Film.

t. person who has worked on several prominent youtube projects who also works in the mainstream. Every attempt to namedrop a big youtube thing I've worked on has been met with blank stares.

I'm going to watch Backrooms before the end of this month or early next month at the latest, although I'm not completely familiar with all of the Backrooms lore. But I love the concept of the Backrooms. However, I prefer Backrooms without monsters in them. Just let the endless liminal location itself be the source of psychological turmoil.
>>
>>220780687
I wish that people would spend more time on the movie over the fact that Parsons is very young. It is easier to break into the industry when you have connections like he does. Big woop. They aren't better than you for having these things. They just get to live that life because they have those things.

If you want you can watch Kane pixels YouTube series. The monsters can be summed up as people being distorted and mutated by the backrooms.
>>
>>220785607
BTW, I am going to see backrooms and expect to enjoy it. I just think that Kane isn't some uniquely talented individual to get this opportunity. He got it because he had connections. Anons in this thread could probably make a movie as good if they had the right connections.
>>
>>220785335
sorry to have to be the one to break it to you, but the story about randomly "getting discovered" is a myth, desu. Even when it's portrayed that way, you'll almost always find that if there wasn't a familial connection somewhere, the person spent years grinding on contract jobs for other projects to build up the portfolio and make the necessary connections to get opportunities to pitch something.
No exec found this random teenager on youtube and offered him a film deal out of thin air.
>>
>>220785633
I'll check it out. I've been getting into analog horror since last year.

>>220785435
Fallacy of A or B

The more likely scenario is a combination.
>kid has an interest in his dad's work
>ends up following in his footsteps and gets help learning from his dad
>makes YouTube which gets popular
>Proud father tells his friends and colleagues about his son's project
>Father's friends and colleagues just so happen to work in the film industry
>Father catches wind that some influential people saw it and liked it (or perhaps Father casually pitches the youtube channel directly to an A24 exec at a party)
>Father contacts friend of a friend to get advice on how to play this potential opportunity, perhaps getting contacts with good lawyers, managers, or agents
>Father pulls some strings and arranges a meeting with aforementioned influential people and newly found lawyer/manager/agent
>Lawyer/manager/agent help negotiate good deal for son

And now a teenager gets a film deal with a hot shit film production studio despite lacking any actual experience or even schooling.
>>
>>220785526
Have you considered that maybe you’re a tremendous faggot?
If you can’t see the difference between the daughter of some A lister saying “DADDY, I want to be a movie star!” and then getting shoved into a bunch of high profile movies or Chaim Rosenstein just being so lucky he ran into Spielberg at the right bar mitzvah, and this situation, you’re just hopeless.
No, I don’t think some VFX artist has the pull to control the algorithm. I think the kid got popular in his own right.
And even if the father did make some introductions, it’s still a step in the right direction. Because, again, some VFX guy doesn’t have the pull to make demands. The YouTube stuff had to be successful on its own merit and the financiers had to see money to be made.

There's a crappy 80s direct to video horror film called Sledgehammer and it nails the feeling of unease that all the extra lore addons to the backrooms concept simply fails to grasp. It's the Lynchian eeriness that makes the concept work. Dumbing it down with surface level lore simply ruins it.

nepotism implies he has no talent and is just being given a job because his dad pulled strings. that's clearly not the case given the kid is immensely talented and clearly passionate.

Lmao so the movie revolves around the black guy trying to kill the white girl? Kane is noticing.

Blatant false equivalence. The allure of the backrooms as a story arises entirely out of the concept itself. If you didn't create the concept, you thus have no right to benefit from it financially or creatively. Kane is a plagiarist plain and simple. I have deep sympathy for the anon who first made that post. No-one should be able to steal your ideas and get rich off of your imagination just because you didn't use your real name.

Is this surprising to anyone. Parsons' videos were always really good for the effects and overall aesthetic but he's clearly not much of a writer.

A lot of youtube horror films are pretty barebones and self contained, not to mention conclusive, once they're done there's nothing to rave about, The Backrooms and the way Kane presents them makes them captivating and alluring, it's a mistery that pulls you in and makes you wonder and wonder and wonder, what's going on and what will happen next?

Call it cheap or whatever you want but it is this tension keeping the mistery and expectations alive that pulls so many people in.

thats literally fine, i didnt expect chinatown. Im not watching something like this for the story, its much more about the atmosphere, the sets, the sound, seeing some comfy but also eerie liminal spaces on the big screen. thats all im really expecting and it sounds like it does those things well.

i mean even in kane's personal work, the actual "story" portions were never particularly crazy. I think the oldest view is probably his most interesting, but his other two big projects, people still live here, is just "old guy gets trapped in a computer colonialism bad", and backrooms is russian scientist gets trapped in his memories. i wouldnt expect really deep character dynamics from this style of writing. its creepypasta writing and aint nothing wrong with that really if you know what you're there for.

Do you have any more asinine faulty comparisons or are we done? Are you seriously comparing leaving money on the street to publishing something online, albeit anonymously? Do you not understand the difference between intellectual property and fiat currency? Do you think the world evaporates whenever you close your eyes?

This is to say nothing of the fact that, by comparing it to money being picked up off the street, you've tacitly admitted that he basically swiped the idea of the Backrooms from someone else. You're only real contention now seems to be that the original anon was foolish for making his idea public, i.e. "leaving it on the ground." This is a pathetic position to take.

What is this anyway, the Kane defence force? Why are you all reading from the same script, and why are the arguments from that script so awful?

>the way Kane presents them makes them captivating and alluring, it's a mistery that pulls you in and makes you wonder and wonder and wonder, what's going on and what will happen next?
i've seen a few of them. and 1. we've had ARGs forever, there's a reason i brought up Marble Hornets (YOU, the viewer, had to check out other channels and shit). 2. it's the film Cube (1997). that's it.

i'm not attacking the quality of the videos themselves or your enjoyment of them.

>>220787092
Theres millions of people that """stole""" the backrooms idea to give it their own spin, you are only mad/jelous because Kane got enough recognition to turn profitable.

>>220787199
Why do certain people feel the need to ruin the atmosphere and vibe of the original idea by adding on a bunch of half-assed explanations that only serve to undermine the mystery?

Yes, you can. You dullard. An author wishing to remain anonymous doesn't somehow validate someone else stealing and profiting off of his creation. This is basic, basic stuff. I refuse to believe you're arguing in good faith.

yeah it's pretty bad. i tried rewatching it, and it's a boring slog. also
>we're film students documenting making our film!
that's the laziest possible framing device, even for the time.

still, it felt exciting when it was ongoing, theorising with /x/ and so on. i'm assuming the Backrooms fan ITT talking about the 'mystery' of it all is getting the same experience we did. and good for him!

hell, we all thought L O S T would be some intricately crafted puzzle, once upon a time. look at how that worked out lol
>>
>>220787376

in fairness, this is just a change in the way the internet has gone. i've made plenty of original content for 4chan. i didn't even want credit, because it didn't occur to me it would be anything other than text/images other anons might repost.

i DID feel pissed off when eBaumsworld/Funnyjunk/etc would take my images and add a watermark. that used to be considered a scummy thing to do.

zoomers have now grown up with internet content as a for-profit venture. that simply wasn't even something we considered back in the day. look at when those Something Awful guys lol'd at Machinima for trying to monetise their Let's Plays. nowadays, that's WHY people stream.

An author wishing to remain anonymous would've used a pseudonym to publish under so even if his identity was unknown people would still know who the author was and who to reach to do business.

But even then, that makes no sense because the 4chan comment that spawned all the backrooms shit was just a comment and the brainstorming and realization or the projects was done by a bunch of other people that merely took pointers and inspiration from the comment, the comment itself or its author did none of the work required to actually conceive the backrooms as we have them today.

An actual equivalent to what you are proposing would be leaving an unsigned napkin on the street and then get absolutely assmad that somebody read it and liket it enough to inspire a series/movie without telling you or paying you.

Do you understand how retarded that sounds? Even if the original idea was yours, it didn't have your fucking name on it and you left it on the fucking street, none of the actual work to turn your napkin idea into a series/movie was done by you so you can't claim any ownership to any of that.

>the story lives or dies on the basis of the initial concept
No, the concept is just a jumping-off point. It's entirely on whoever uses that concept to not fall on their face. It's why we have the term "poor execution;" because the idea could be fantastic but someone can still fumble it.
>He stole the initial concept
Nigga, it was two (2) sentences. You know why no one respects someone who just wants to make it as an "idea guy"? Because ideas are cheap. You know why the original poster isn't up in arms abut the movie right now? Because he probably came up with the idea in three seconds based on the image at the start of that thread, and he just thinks it's funny that something he didn't think enough about to ask credit for made it to Hollywood in less than a decade.
>>220787831
>It contains the totality of what makes the Backrooms both intriguing and unique
Does it contain the totality of why Kane's series in particular is intriguing and unique? Again, the way you talk about it, it's like you think he just put the image and the text post in a video generator and said
>make a bunch of videos based on this for years until I get a movie deal
and the only, ONLY reason people like his series and want to see his movie is because they like the idea of the Backrooms.

Getting upset at me doesn't change the facts. I'll say it once more: the backrooms, as an idea, as a property, is highly conceptual. Inasmuch as the meat of the thing is almost entirely contained within its premise, its "pitch". Given the fact that Kane pilfered the premise wholesale from a 4chan post, there is something sleazy about going on to garner fame and financial success from that pilfering. The fact that everything he added to the idea was unoriginal and vapid is a secondary issue.
>>
>>220788623
>everything he added to the idea was unoriginal and vapid
Just say you're a hater. You don't like Kane, you don't got a reason, you don't need a reason; you're just not interested in what he's making and resent that he's popular for that alone. You're basically how I've always been with Twitter since it was called "Twitter," I get it. Just be honest.

i told that 'Ben Drowned' Majora's Mask guy i really didn't like his creepypasta. he took it to heart since he was legitimately looking for feedback on the whole thing.

in hindsight i was a bit of an arsehole tbqh. clearly the dude did something that took some extra effort, back when you couldn't do much with ROM hacks.

but i promise you all, 'creepypasta' once meant ghost stories and shit, not just 'hurr durr my video game is haunted'. i doubt this is anywhere near the first 'infinite/noclip room' story, but i suppose you can say that with e.g. The Matrix being about a simulated reality.

More like somebody did something with their life at 21 and you are assmad and hung up over the fact he took inspiration from the only thing you are capable of producing, a 4chan post, you feel personally injured because even though it's not your post he took inspiration from, you feel robbed of the opportunity of a lifetime because you don't have the knowledge or talents to make your 4chan posts into a movie.

Ok. Now I'm almost certain I'm talking to Kane. What can I say dude? You're a weasel. Like a lot of horror stories, the substance of this project is in the premise. You stole the premise from a post you came across here. And you benefited from that theft financially and professionally. It's sleazy as fuck.
>>
>>220790613
Kane Pixel's dad was the main VFX artist on Star Wars and all the Marvel movies guys. He is an ultra-billionaire, might even be the wealthiest and most powerful guy in Hollywood. Still don't think it's nepotism?

>>220790339
>I've already detailed why he's a plagiarist.
A plagiarist adds nothing. A plagiarist just copies the work. He didn't copy work, he didn't copy anything! He read a post that went viral, credited to [Alicia Keys' number-one single, released in September of 2007], and made a short film based on where his imagination went when he read it. And then he continued from there, adding enough to make his version of the Backrooms really, truly his version.
>>220790613
We're just saying shit 'cause we're mad now? Okay: you have webbed feet.

yeah we've been talking in circles and I bet you feel really smart over keeping me engaged to your idiocy, like you are some sam hyde clone master baiter or whatever the fuck you deem witty.

Even if he stole that post, which he fucking didn't, the ammount of things he added, regardless of how inferior and inconsequential you perceive them to be, transformed the original idea into an entirely new thing that now he owns, this is the same reason why every single backrooms youtuber has their own universe and lore, it's all different ideas sharing a single origin and none of them "plagiarized" the 4chan post because:

>They never said they invented the concept, all of them, even kane, acknowledge the 4chan origin.

>>220790677
>A plagiarist adds nothing. A plagiarist just copies the work.
Adding something to a work you've stolen does not make you less of a plagiarist. If you take a premise, or a core set of concepts, that isn't your own, and you make additions, you're still guilty of plagiarism. I can't believe I am having to explain this.
>>
>>220790809

dude, are you okay? you're arguing in this very...zoomer-y way. weird shit like
>you think you're like Sam Hyde!

the YouTuber guy took a 4chan post and turned it into a video series. he has added mystery elements. he is not claiming he came up with the idea. everyone gets these points. that's not what anons are arguing, but it seems to be what you're arguing against (in a very strange way).

you're a fan of something, that's nice. but you're not even responding to the actual substance of what anons are saying.
>>
>>220790835

>>220790871
There's like 7 loops of the same retarded argument in this thread so far.

A random untraceable anonymous comment is not intellectual property and people taking inspiration from it to build entire universes is not pagiarism, specially if constantly credited as the source of inspiration.
Even extrapolated to an academic setting this would be considered at most a quote on a thesis.
>>
>>220790719
>you're an autistic fat fuck ugly nepo baby
Of course the faggot self reports with his own reply. Maybe you can make your millions next time if you act faster on your ideas and call up an agent instead of sitting around doing nothing with them and leaving them open for others to capitalize on. Abominable mutant.

>>220790952
wrong. the post only contained the liminal meme that had been going around. kane combined this with analog horror and the SCP element, both of which were very popular among zoomers at the time. not only that but then he actually produced a series and a movie out of it. it's kind of autistic to try and invalidate all that by going "BUT HE WAS INSPIRED BY A 4CHAN POST"
>>
>>220790994
It wasn't a funny image, dweeb. It was a coherent premise, a set of core concepts, that you lifted wholesale.

The fact that it evoked elements of liminality is neither here nor there; the premise was novel.

The argument is that he's a plagiarist because he lifted the premise for his series and film wholesale. Given the fact that it's a horror film, and the premise of a horror film is almost always its drawcard, his plagiarism is egregious.

i'm a fresh anon, i've just been reading your posts.

i mean on some pure legal level, every page on 4chan says:
>All trademarks and copyrights on this page are owned by their respective parties. Images uploaded are the responsibility of the Poster. Comments are owned by the Poster.

but we're not talking about legality. it's more like a DeviantArt guy saying
>if u use my sprites pls credit me!!!
then someone not giving them credit.

now i'm guessing this guy has been open that it was inspired by a 4chan post, maybe there'll be a cute mention of 'Anonymous' in the credits. i haven't seen anyone argue that he's trying to hide it or something, just that he took someone else's idea.

back when everything (and i mean everything) on the internet was free, that was still taboo. hell, look at comedians who steal jokes. they get pilloried for it. that's not the same as criminal theft or academic plagiarism, you can do it. people will still object (and they have every right to).

frankly, his talent lies in the special effects and editing, so i don't get why he WOULDN'T come up with his own idea. that's what 'making original content' used to just be. and we're already talking about a post using a photograph of an office that anon took from a different site. for me, the difference is that the /x/phile guy wasn't being paid.

if this was like those Blender Foundation films where it was all open-source/free, i'd have no qualms. instead, this is a feature film released in cinemas for profit. imagine doing that with another 'intellectual property', Star Wars or Marvel or something. fan films do not do this (and rightfully so).

Wow. One slide of a single post on Instagram happens to briefly mention the original blurb. I'm sure this totally makes up for the fact that he stole the concept.

just read this in Aryeh's voice and it all makes sense now.
the argument you are making is technically correct, and I think we all understand that.

Special effects are physical, practical elements created on-set in real-time, such as explosions, rain machines, and prosthetics. An empty room created in blender with a stock "vhs" filter that looks like it's from an app is "digital effects" at best. CGI cannot be special effects.

You really are pretending to not understand the difference between people making their own pepe art and a production studio producing a plagiarized work for profit????

true. maybe it's just oversaturation and ease of access.

people forget what a big deal The Phantom Menace was. remember when Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow came out, and it was the FIRST EVER film that was ENTIRELY greenscreen + CGI? that was a selling point. it was stylish.

now everything just sucks.

nah i'm fine with artists seething.
>i didn't want my work being used that way.
oh well, it's that way on my web page. deal w/ it nerd.

>you didn't have the rights to take my artwork and sell it in a game/movie, without asking permission and/or giving me money.
...you know what, that's a fair complaint.

streamers weren't just complaining that Nintendo were taking their streams down, they were complaining because that's how they were making money. how much of that money were they giving back to Nintendo, as they displayed their artwork and music? 50%? 25%?

Should this be the first movie I see in the cinema since Joker? Before Joker it was Transformers: Dark of the Moon

nah, find a cinema that shows classics or new restorations/scans. been some AMAZING re-releases of old films these past ten years.
