Reddit movie for midwits
I didn't see it.I'm not planning on seeing it.I just find it funny how the title is one letter away from nigger.
Saw The Social Reckoning and I nearly died of secondhand embarrassment watching that movie. Digger has completely destroyed my ability to watch political films. The only good political movies in existence right now are Digger and The Battle of Algiers.
>>223670242>seeing digger for the second time today>seeing the social reckoning tomorrowHow fucked am I?
>>223670277you're truly digger'd
>>223670277What if watching Digger a second time causes you to resent the futility of Digger?
Only about another week until this piece of shit completely bombs out of theaters and this gay as fuck shill campaign disappears like. bad flatulence.
>>223670356Wrong. Once the torrents hit, that's when /digg/ truly begins.

I've enjoyed discussing the movie with you lads a lot these past few days, I guess this is time for schizos to come and start shitting on everything
>>223669900Watching it today because of 4chan shills.
Anne Hathaway has joined dig nation
>>223669900just saw it and it's a very unique movie (although it did feel spiritually similar to Birdman which I saw recently). I really liked the meta aspect with the ending using the speakers to fuck with the audience.
>>223670580the movie isn't that deep that it's confusing, but it is very thoughtful, you kinda have to be retarded for the point to go over your head. it's like reading 1984 and going "hmm I wonder what george orwell meant by that" like it's kinda obvious, man.
>>223670341Time you enjoy wasting is not time wasted
Gentlemen, we need to keep posting butthurt seething replies in the digger threads. If we do it enough then these jewish shills will stop.
>>223671075>everyone talking positively about a movie on /tv/ is le shillfucking schizophrenic retardit's a good movie and so therefore people are discussing itsorry its distracting from your coomer and shitpost threads
feels good to be digger nationfilm of the year, baby
>>223671111Well it's not like there's much in the way of competition
>>223670811I didn't know actors used letterboxd
>why don't we just keep making original movies all together.....the simple answer is..... BECAUSE YOU DONT WANT ME TO. DEEP DOWN INSIDE YOU WANT ME POUNDING OUT SEQUEL. AND YOU WANT ME TO KEEP PRODUCING REMAKES!!
they buried this movie intentionally because they saw OIL BAD which indeed is one of the points but it's much more layered and sophisticated than thati believe it's the only movie this year that wouldn't give me showtimes when i googled it, i'd have to search for showtimes, and even that small of a roadblock causes less people to go "Oh Hey It's Playing At 8 Let's Go See"
ooooooh yes I'M DIGGING
>>223670811vapid hag
>>223670811Isn't she in the future days of thunder sequel with Tom Cruise?
Thoughts on the Digger marketing so far? After the film came out they seemed to pivot into leaning into the divisiveness of the film, encouraging people to see the film and "Decide for themselves" what the truth is, "Same Film. Different Truth.". Now it appears they are straight up revealing the theatre show twist, even showing clips of Tom Cruise yelling at the director that he's an actor and Kenny Rockwell taking to the theater crew, and the sets rotating. All being shown in new ads for the film. Have they completely given up on trying to hide this twist anymore? Feels like the marketing team is throwing literally anything and everything to get people to buy a ticket for this movie now. Trying to hide the twist didn't work, maybe knowing it's about a theater show may actually intrigue some.It's starting to look like Tom Cruise posting less than a minute of the EU Parliament speech on X is actually the social media post about this film that's gaining the most interest by far. Many people replying to the clip by saying, "Oh, ok now I want to watch Digger.".
>>223669900I had a 102 fever last night, and I kept having fever dreams about Digger. It was very abstract stuff about the nature of digging into things. Like "I can dig it"
>>223671577Explain in more detail. Sounds interesting. How was it "abstract"?
>>223671536hard film to advertise, I liked the first wave of ads fine. I had interest in the film but didn't watch until I read on /tv/ how kino it actually is.The cat is out of the bag pretty much on the twist so I think they just are trying to get more butts in seats.I think people compare it to dr. strangelove a lot but I think it's also similar to eyes wide shut or a clockwork orange, the film mocks the elites and shows how they control the narratives in society. A lot of what happens in the film felt eerily close to whats going on in real life today. I truly feel like Cruise and Iñárritu are carrying on Kubricks legacy with this film and it's beautiful. People call it a plebfilter movie. It's like the anti-turn off your brain popcorn flick.
digger nation grows everyday
>>223670341I think the thing that kinologists call "The Digger Inflection Point" only kicks in after about 12 watches.
I don't know what Iñárritu was trying to say with this flick. Does he want people to come up with realistic solutions to climate change that don't involve us going back to the stone age? Or does he want the left to become more radical to stop the evil chuds?
>>223671164Most don't, because giving honest opinions about movies may limit your ability to find work in the future. Ayo Edebiri famously deleted her account with 1K movies logged after getting too big. Anne Hathaway gets to have a Letterboxd due to white privilege.
>>223670501Sorta pissed my digger threads werent included... Can I still join the digger army?
>>223672273I am pretty sure it's a simple man in the mirror message. Make the change to your lifestyle that you want to see in the world
>>223672273I don't know the directors personal life but it seems he wants to save the world from our own destruction.I think the movie mostly isn't directed at the average joe, the ones the film is critiquing is the elites and powerful. If theres a message for us it's to unite against the common enemy.It's a class warfare type movie. If you notice at the end of the film not everyone outside has masks, showing that there is an upper class to the society that gets to benefit from the bread and circuses without doing anything meaningful to fix them.it's anti authoritarian and anti corruption messages are pretty obvious.Diggers speech and his nephews speech feel like the core of the film. Life won't get better until we make meaningful radical changes to do so.The film is pointing to the corporate rot in the political system, actually fixing that rot is a challenge in and of itself.
a black couple walked out when I went to see this last night
>>223672515If you're filtered by digger, you might be a
I hate diggers

>>223672757>NOOOO IT FLOPPED IT FLOPPED IT FLOPPED!!! MUH BOX OFFICE! AHHH I CAN'T DIG!!! WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE FILM IS BASED KINO PEAK CINEMA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK
digg or die
>>223669970Yes anon, that's part of the joke
This movie and that Looney Tunes one that has an obviously anti-corporate character with Foghorn is ironic timing considering the warner bros merger thing. might be the last anti-corruption movies we see for a while
sup diggers
>>223672871That idea overestimates their fear of the mass. Look at the satanic shit these people says openly in interviews and podcasts. They're not that worried.
>>223672887Yeah Peter Thiel just coming out and saying being evil is good kind of spoils the whole secrecy thing
>>223672887true. it's just nice to see that type of thing in a big movie. we used to have villains like this in media. the big blustering rich guy tropethey were gonna scrap that looney tunes movie for a tax write off, I think the foghorn character was probably based on those types of executives.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AALREbJZEZkDigger really is similar to dr strangelove too in the best ways and I can't stop thinking about the film.it reminds me of the satire of politicians in films like Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, where they are so over the top corrupt that it's comical. Nowadays our politicians are so openly corrupt and incompetent that it makes what would be satire normally just seem like a realistic documentary. How do you parody what is beyond parody? I love the commentary on the place of satire. Even though we're meant to see the play Fossil Fools as kinda hack by the end of the film, as a theatre enjoyer myself I found all those Digger scenes as extremely entertaining. Having symbolic representations to show us the worse behavior of humans is something we always do, to tell the human experience so future people can hopefully do better. So I don't think the end scene was saying "fuck you if you liked the movie" it's pretty dark. working class people write a play about the end of the world and the rights get bought out by the family who ended it. it's a grim bleak world, but it really doesn't feel that too far off from our own. I love digger
Whens home release?
The play director being a black woman had to be intentional, right?
>>223670501Not enough
FUCKING DIGGERS
>>223673906Diggers could be here, he thought. I've never been in this neighborhood before.
I'm genuinely going for my 3rd viewing today, and have put many of my friends onto the movie. Movie of the year for me, I know a couple of my friends will bounce off it but idgaf it's kino. >>223670242I got friends dying to take me to see it and I really can't stand that fucker Sorkin, but I do really love Jeremy Strong so I hope his performance at least makes it worth the time.
Is Digger just another version of this crap? In any case I'll probably pirate it eventually.
JUJUTSU NO DIGGER
>>223674016Don't Look Up is born out of the director's worries that climate change isn't deal with seriously by the media. Digger is born out of the director's understanding that the very idea of using fiction to try and affect change in anything is ridiculous and that the kind of people who try to do it have a tendency to simplify things to the point of undermining their own positionI have not seen either film and have no current plans of doing so, take what I said with a grain of salt/spoiler]
>>223674037Digger is huge in Japan and they will take the box office over the top!
>>223671536>colors fixed in the japanese posterbased autist WONAlso>>223671536Veteran character designer and key animator Tadashi Hiramatsu (Yuri!!! on Ice, Jujutsu Kaisen, Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc) joined the two for a roundtable conversation.Iñárritu said that his son is a huge fan of MAPPA's works, while Cruise marveled at the cinematic style, hair, and framing of scenes on display in the exhibition's Jujutsu Kaisen area.>hair wtfCruise asked Hiramatsu how much of anime is drawn by hand, and Hiramatsu noted that he trained on paper and pencil. The animator observed that many in the younger generations have gone digital, but he believes that it is important to start with paper. Cruise agreed and compared this sentiment to voice recording to ensure the artist's voice is literally and figuratively retained.Hiramatsu said he enjoyed Digger's camera work, color palette, music, sound effects, and Cruise's performance so much that he asked to see the movie a second time. He then presented Cruise and Iñárritu with a Digger illustration he drew
>>223674016My friend hates don’t look up and he loved digger because digger hates don’t look up too
We're never gonna have another truly soulful #madatmort moment are we
>>2236699004chan movie for highwits
>>223674016Digger is the film that sneaks up from behind Don't Look Up, covers its mouth and then stabs it in the jugular 15 times.
It's a strong 6/10 if I'm being completely honest. I was expecting vapid preachy libshit navelgazing and got a movie that actually made me think about how people engage with art and media and how we collectively avoid confront problems as a society by seeking comfort in temporary pleasures and platitudes
>>223674620I was under the impression no one in these threads actually watched the movie. Thanks for the insight anon

Been digging a giant hole in my backyard ever since watching the movie#DiggerNation
is there good torrent out?
What does DIGGER rhyme with?
DIGGER keeps getting BIGGER
This is my first time checking in on /tv/ in a year. I am delighted to see a general has developed for this film. Question for posters in here, did you ever watch/enjoy Eddington?
>>223675397BIGGER, which is what its box office needs to be!
>>223675415What else does DIGGER rhyme with?
>>223670501how did you fit so many links in a single post without triggering spam detection?
>>223669900i haven't kept up with these generals, but is it like one dood diggposting or are there more of you in on it?
>>223673077>How do you parody what is beyond parody?Exactly, it's worth thinking about how politicians and billionaires (particularly thinking of people like Musk & Trump) intentionally clipfarm by acting retarded & silly in front of the cameras. Think about when Elon was jumping, belly button out, during the 2024 campaigns. Even today, when Trump says a blatantly unfunny, but yet amusing or retarded joke on stage. Or how he is deliberately taking mini-naps in the Oval Office when the press is there. Or constantly having his staff post AI videos on his truth social accounts. These are deliberate efforts to satirize his image and existence to the masses. They want you to think that they are all "clowns" who "don't know what they're doing". They in fact all know what they're doing. Trump is just an easy example of a corruptician using the jester's excuse, there are many more.
>>223675424TRIGGER which is what it does to dumb people on both sides of the political spectrum!
Critical Drinker got owned by this movie lol
>>223675492I too am in this thread
>>223675540qrd? I'm not watching him
>>223675579He thought it was a movie heavily promoting climate change
>>223675596Promting as in saying we should accelerate it?
>>223675669No as in claiming climate change is real and human actions are making it real, therefore promoting a left wing political message.
Just rewatched it at my local theater and it was even better the second time. If it doesn't sweep the oscars I will murder and then rape you all
>>223675716Imagine having less media literacy than the critical drinker
do you have todo you have todo you have to let it digger
>>223675828You think the movie is promoting left wing politics?
>>223675716Only an idiot migger doesn't believe that human pollution causes climate change.
>>223675868Well he took issue with that claim
>>223675858Climate change isn’t a left wing political issue. But from your posts it is clear that something more abstract is beyond your comprehension. Not trying to insult you but it’s not worth discussing this with you
>>223675948I'm explaining his take from the video, not stating any of my opinions.
>>223675968Ah well excuse my illiteracy then
Think I need to watch Digger
My favorite detail is that diggers nephew transitioned from fossil fuels to surveillance technology. His uncles fuckup had no consequences for him. He still gets to eat tune, have quirky billionaire passion projects, and probably hang out with the president. Assuming this is intentional mirroring of the transition from the American deep state from oil to tech.
>>223669900JUST WATCHED THE MOVIE IT WAS FUCKING AWESOME
Don't snigger, nigger. The Digger Nation is getting BIGGER.
>>223676094How do you know he's not still digging? Bet that ginger fuck is still destroying the planet whilst spying on everyone watching me while I goon to his mom :(
>>223675492Its like that Morbius movie where people pretended the movie was good as a meme
>>223676338Yeah probably, someone’s gotta supply that LNG for the data center that enforces compliance
>>223674016Digger has a scene that is literally intentionally made to be exactly like every scene in Don't Look Up, until the protagonist suddenly forces everyone to stop and then asks "What the fuck are we doing", calling out their whole exaggerated satire of one dimensional stupid evil politicians and referring to it as "cartoon shit". It points out the stupidity and hypocrisy of these condescending movies made by rich people to make fun of rich people while funding rich people.

What was the point of the tie gift
>>223674016>>223674016>In any case I'll probably pirate it eventually.listen to me anon... digger is an artsy experiemental 7.9/10 movie.... but the speech scene is literally the greatest single cinematic scene of the century, like I haven't seen something this mind blowing since the Matrix bullet dodge scene. You should see this in theaters (not even IMAX) for this scene alone
>>223676679Tom Cruise is Digger
>>223672273It's only incidentally about climate change because the most prescient movie it's satirizing is Don't Look Up. The message is ultimately about the futility of using media as "catharsis." Like it doesn't matter if you make Cheney look like a fool in Vice or have your self-insert beat the Manson girls to death, those guys still did what they did and their impact on the world isn't canceled out by ridicule
>>223676679There is a fan theory that the historical digger hung himself with the tie, but play digger jumped into the ocean in cinematic fashion
>>223676705Didn't Tommy just post that scene to Xitter?https://x.com/TomCruise/status/2108573398033170618

>>223676679>>223676723happened really fast but I noticed the tie in the picture during the movie
>>223676728true any other topic and people would relate to the small hats too much and they wouldn't allow the movie to be released in theaters.Can't fly too close to the sun.
is it worth seeing this
>>223677530Legitimately worth it just for Cruise alone
>>223677530it does something other movies don't do which makes it interesting on a film level.
>>223677530It's a twice in a century cinematic experience see it even if you don't end up liking the total product. This is what movies are about
Why are Mexicans better at film than Americans (eyetalian american)?
>>223677657The movie that Digger makes fun of was made by a Scot/Irish American though
>>223676731I just watched it for the second time(>>223670277)and during the Europe scene I got the feeling that the people standing with their heads against the ceiling are supposed to look like they've been hanged, so I buy into this.
>>223671111>film of the year >Trite climate change slop Pick one
Ok but for real what's the real reason critics are dogpiling on this movie? Are they resentful of Tom Cruise/Scientology? Do they just want to knock Inarritu down a peg for making such a big swing? Is a rival studio or publicist trying to sabotage the movie for some petty reason? All of the above?
>>223678566The movie is pretty explicitly shitting on Sorkin/Mckay movies which critics love praising to high heaven, so there's definitely some hurt feelings there
>>223678566it's easy clickbait "Tom Cruises biggest bomb ever!!" just focusing on the financial aspect is mostly what I've seen. The film also kinda is hostile towards the audience, unpleasant at times, and obtuse. It makes fun of smug liberals and the establishment. So it filters people. There will be an effort to shrug off this film as just "a bomb" or "preachy" when really it is an important and masterfully done work of cinema that everyone should go see. A multi-layered media literacy test that a lot of people failed. >>223678286well, you got filtered or haven't seen the movie, it's kino.

What's the significance of Kenny giving Curtis the tie? Is he being completely genuine about telling him that he really gets him and just wants to show his appreciation with a personal memento as a gift or is there something more to it?

Just got back from it. Not gunna read the thread but if you're shitting on it I just assume you didn't see it or you're too online brained over politics to enjoy probably anything. 10/10Great set design, usage, Parliament scene was absolutely kino. Fake tree / scene break was hilarious Fantastic monologs from everyone who got one from Riz, Tom, Jesse, to SohpieDouble keks at the cat once you put together that it's animatronic because it's in the play and that's just what they do.Ending post the play was also fantastic, robo cop, scared guy in apc, compliance freedom. Great. idk if it happened for anyone else but when the camera finally moves up my theater turned the lights on and did a little 'end of the show' kind of sound where the audio for the movie kicked out, either weird happenstance because we're getting storm weather or slightly 2meta4me.Might be my favorite cruise movie, easily movie of the year. I'd encourage people to see it even if it's basically past it's way out.My only real criticism is the marketing, not the recent 'replying to negative posts' stuff that's been on tiktok but the original trailers just made it hard to establish what it was about except Big Oil, Murika, and satire. That's really not enough, specially when you have essentially two stories going on with the play and what's happening outside of it. Like I would of assume there was going to be more literal drilling. Probably would of done significantly better if they had gone another angle there.
>What would REALLY save our board?>A paid moderation team?>*crowd cheers*>Off topic garbage being deleted?>*crowd cheers*>Webms with audio enabled?>*crowd cheers*>You couldn't possibly comprehend the scope, the price tag, or the amount of time it would take to make that kind of extreme moderation, JANNIES ARE WHAT WE HAVE, JANNIES ARE WHAT GOD GAVE US>I get it, you're angry, you're scared, each year the catalog gets more chaotic than the one before. So why don't I just get some moderators? The simple answer is, YOU DON'T WANT ME TO PAY MODS'. YOU WANT ME TO BRING IN THE JANNIES TO DO IT FOR FREE. IF THERE WEREN'T NO JANNIES, THERE WOULDN'T BEEEN A BOARD TO BEGIN WITH. ..... DEEP DOWN, YOU WANT YER TWITTER SCREENCAP THREADS, YOU WANT YER GOONER THREADS, YOU WANT YER OFF-TOPIC THREADS. How many of you posted in a KINOS FOR THIS FEEL thread on the way here? YOU DON'T WANT TO DISCUSS TELEVISION & FILM
>>223679328Because it was over. The 'rich man on an oil rig' is the last bastion for rich people in apocalypse movies. And all the generic predictions for that moment hit, food gone, help gone, outside assistance gone, protection gone. And gold gone. Just jover all over.
>>223678859>It makes fun of smug liberals and the establishmentHow do you figure?
>>223679328maybe he didnt "irl" but in the play the goys needed their catharsis(revenge?) so they had digger kill himself by jumping in the water
>>223680997Dr. Ganesh and several people around Digger had multiple opportunities to put a safe stop to the events. Yet every time they can't be the man on the big chair and hand the wheel over to Digger. More concerned with "disappointing" him rather than standing by their convictions. He ate the Tuna.Critique Politics. You make a stance but have no backbone. Where as a man like Digger, stood his ground infront of parliament, and incited war on the behalf of his God given right to drill where he pleases.
>>223678566It's pretty against cultural norms of current year and is a little over the head on 'what could happen'. I know it's doubtful that criticis woild go that route but someone's paying their asses. >>223677698How was it making fun of don't look up? Because they both have climate change?>>223681096I can see that.
>person is told to watch digger>goes out of curiosity >loves it>tells the next person they see to watch diggerand on and on it goesself-replicating digger bots
>>223681096one of my favorite parts of the movie is the fat safety manager cowering when digger tells him to make the call on stopping drilling. Obviously its part of his sociopathic manipulation but it is so true that people that are endless critics commonly back down when push comes to shove
>>223670811>my what a forward young film
>>223676411Did you watch the rest of that scene? I think these things aren't connected. Has the director gone out and mentioned don't look up at all? Or is it that it's the move recent climate change movie and that's the connection?
Seeing this photo genuinely made me smile
>>223680832>>223680925It's over
WHAT DID YOU SAY DIGGA
>>223678859>just focusing on the financial aspect is mostly what I've seenNot that it’s exactly the same kind of movie in either content or quality, but most of the Megalopolis coverage was also focused on peripheral stuff like the box office and production instead of its actual merits. In both cases an acclaimed auteur makes a big, bold, ambitious, risky original film and the whole entertainment journalism clique is practically tripping over themselves to smack it down. There’s definitely some weird Hollywood politics going on with this shit.
>>223680997well it's not as harsh as the films criticisms of evil billionaires but the black lady director is helping fund the family that ended the world, and the play itself is a metaphor for bread and circuses. It explores how the media narrative can be controlled and both sides can often serve the same puppetmasters which is blackpilled.I think the end reveal is meant to make us question the media we consume and how it plays a role in our perception. I don't think it's completely doomer, but it's saying we make stories out of tragedy in order for us to cope with how shitty life is. People act like the audience members are cattle for wearing masks, but the pollution and air quality is so bad that they have to. and these are the upper crust of society who can afford to go see a play and have the newest mask. It's implied that there's a police state even to show how bad things get when bad people have unchecked power.I think it's like a wake up call to the normies who engage with politics on a surface level as a form of entertainment. thats what I meant by attacks smug liberals, if that makes sense. the movie questions the purpose of satire itself.It's not aiming for revolution, it's anti complacency, this movie wants to wake you up.
>>223676411the way this film cuts between the play/history of the world and the modern world is so brilliant. and the growing mold to show the effects of what happened in the play to their current world. amazing stuffit knows you wanna see what happened to digger, but cuts away because it wants to show you something else that is actually more important. I haven't seen a film be so bold and full of vision since Kubrick honestly. Kubrick would be proud of Tom for making this film.
>one minute, thread is top of the catalog! the next...you're archived...
>>223681186Then you shut-ins need to hurry the fuck up and tell more diggers to watch it.
>>223669900>BUT IT DIDN'T MAKE ME LAUGH. I DONT GET IT. IM A PISSBABY.
>>223669900>I... digI came at that part
>>223681465>and these are the upper crust of society who can afford to go see a play and have the newest maskIs that from seeing some masks with lights and some without? Or did I not notice something in the balcony seats
I was disappointed that there was not nearly as much shovel as was in the trailers
>>223681894Me too desu
>>223681064i really want a documentary or even a wikipedia page made for the "real" rockwell just to see what his actual life was like. the part where cruise is saying they weren't allowed on the same plane was one of the most interesting lines of the movie. if you're not allowed to ride on the same plane as the president you're basically as important as the president.>>223669900really well advertised, i thought it was going to be a dr. strangelove movie the entire time.
>>223681865there are poorer people outside without masks, I'm just kinda assuming. they could be middle class. the movies much more focused on those with power than the average person.
i want to shovel druk angry emmaif you dig my meaning
I think the nephew character is really interesting. also there isn't a bad performance in this film, everyone is really great.a standout to me is dr. ganesh the climate scientist, he's very funny in the scene where he gets drunk. i also loved john goodman, it's like a spiritual sequel to dr. strangelove but with a meta twist that makes it hit even harder.
>>223681961I legit think we will get a "Diggerverse" Digger shorts, Digger books, DIG! The musical just give it time diggerbros. We will win
>>223681298>PhotoIt's AI you dio
>>223678566>real reason critics areCreatively antagonistic cinema criticism died with Roger Ebert, unfortunately.90% (he said rhetorically) of critics today are puppets of the 5 or 6 Massmedia Corporations that control it all.They only want their product enhanced and promoted.Eberts own website is the prime example of this.Right now, that website rogerebert.com, makes no mention whatsoever of the movie Digger, and is front page promoting the movie Musk.
>DIGGER GOT US INTO THIS MESS AND DIGGERS GONNA DIG US OUT AGAIN!
(actual serious post) I just watched It and tried to avoid as many spoilers as possible. My interpretation of the movie was: the people are retarded, and even after everything that happened theres still a Rockwell (todd from breaking bad) on the top who probably still rapes the whole world, and the only thing they care about is the mock-play.
>>223682448Headcanon: This is Eli Gemstone.
>>223682474basically yea. it's implied that diggers nephew runs that universes version of palantirlove u diggers, keep on diggin'if you guys have other film reccs that are similar let me know cause I love this movie. cheers
>>223682201>the music getting all silly and theatrical when dr.ganesh gets drunkthis soundtrack might win an oscar
>>223682474That's pretty much the point. The whole fake movie is propaganda so Digger's nephew can point the finger at le old dead white man and get everyone to DON'T LOOK UP at the drones flying overhead. Hence "Fossil Fools"
>>223676411Well actually, the movie states both he and the director are correct. Satire is important as a way for people to personally feel some sense of control for the terrible things happening to them. And accurate portrayals are important to convey how evil and scary the people causing the disaster are. It just so happens the play leaned more towards the former, but throughout the play Curtis does gradually find moments and ways to convey how evil Digger really was.
>>223680972This kino is so ripe for copypastas
>>223681145>making fun of don't look up?Curtis remarking to the director that satire doesn't mean you have to write total dogshit.>>223682774>>223682984I also loved that the ending of the movie frames him as the hero who found Curtis' daughter only for the last few minutes reminding the viewers again that this guy's family was the reason why everything went to hell for the human population
How old is todd breaking bad character supposed to be in this movie btw? The play itself is 25 years old, they also spend 5 years on the oil rig I think before digger kills himself, but then the dude looks like hes 50 years old. I think either im too retarded or the timelines doesnt match
>>223683378>the dude looks like hes 50 years oldBruv his actor is not even 40 IRL
Disregarding other aspects of the movie (I personally thought it was a 9.5/10), the Cruise UN speech is going to go down as one of the great monologues in film history, in the annuls of Network’s mad as hell monologue and Glengarry Glen Ross’s always be closing. It went hard as fuck.
better than eddington fr fr
>>223683549Cruise obviously mogs Joaquin but Eddington's last act was slightly better for me, I still have that machine gun sequence stuck inside my head
>>223683378>the dude looks like hes 50 years oldZoomers are so brainrotted by app filters that any time they see someone with any facial aging they think "bro are you 50?"
>>223669900Just watched tonight and it was fucking hilarious. Are the people mad about this movie americans or something?
>>223674016its a criticism of masturbatory movies like dont look up
Just watched digger. 6.5/10 I am a stringent rater, so this is pretty high. Not crazy, but I can definitely see it becoming a B tier cult classic.Pretty good movie.Glad Cruise actually got to act for once. Music, Cinematography, and Sets are wonderful. tonally inconsistent, and the messaging is a bit ham fisted (but I guess that's to be expected and fits the story), some fot he jokes are a bit flat. but overall fine.It's like an "Asteroid City" by Wes A. but with worse writing but better characters. I AM affirming to join the Digger nation. I dig it.
>>223677698jesus christ just look at this poster it encapsulates literally everything wrong with hollywood
>>223678566It makes fun of kikes and their corporations so they sent their reviewers to shit on it
Digger is the most honest look at our political reality since Eddington and it is being panned by the same people for the same reasons.The critics need to believe that the hyper-liberal dream of the ever more rational, abstract, right-thinking man will succeed. They need to believe it because they make their living by manufacturing the illusion of its inevitability.The truth the film points to is that our only hope is in action, not representation. Being aware of the right things, consuming the right things, raging at the wrong things, is just doing your part to maintain the farce.
>ctrl+f Eddington>4 resultsOkay, you're clearly trying to SHILL Eddington to me. So just come right out and say it.
>>223684892I think you’ll dig Eddington.
>>223680951>idk if it happened for anyone else but when the camera finally moves up my theater turned the lights on and did a little 'end of the show' kind of sound where the audio for the movie kicked out, either weird happenstance because we're getting storm weather or slightly 2meta4me.yeah that happened for me, with the lights going on, the sound playing at it also saying "Level 4" like in the movie, it was kino and a great way to end it
Please! There are women present.
>>223681750>Everything changes, anon.
>>223680951>My only real criticism is the marketing, not the recent 'replying to negative posts' stuff that's been on tiktok but the original trailers just made it hard to establish what it was about except Big Oil, Murika, and satire.They wanted to treat the premise like a twist and keep it secret, but that left them with nothing but TOM CRUISE IS DIGGER. I think they needed to have some hint in the marketing that there was more going on here in order to build actual interest. People seethe when trailers spoil but the decision not to probably cost them 20 mil
I want to see the movie but I live in Seattle and if a BIPOC Body hears me buy my ticket I might get shot.
Man the opening 20 minutes is just going from holler to holler I have not laughed out loud in a kinoplex in DECADES
>>223684892Eddington fucking sucks. At the end of a day a man has to choose a side, Digger or Eddington. This here is a Digger general.
>>223683326Yeah the director really wants you to feel as conflicted as possible. Which is great I want to feel emotions
>>223678895wow it really is jeb
>>223670242wtf that shit looking movie is out already i saw trailer for it watching prime time today
>>223685326Pfft.
>>223672515Strange: the play's director/stage manager was an empowered black woman who even has a scene where she's (literal who actress) dressing down Tom Cruise. You can't get more woke than that.
>>223683545The spinny thing was a great additions.
Is Digger a good date movie? Asking for a friend haha
>>223686626Only if you really dig each other.
>>223686626YesThe best date movies are the ones that inspire conversation and there's a lot to talk about with this one
This movie looks like it's just "Don't Look Up" but with Tom Cruise. Why is /tv/ shilling climate change propaganda? Or is this just another Morbius irony posting?
>>223683686ya but the mass suicides when they hit 35 is going to be funny af
How does Digger begin, lads? I missed the first few minutes of the movie, and got in my seat when he starts talking to the cat in bed. What happened before that?
>>223686680Unironically the very first few minutes kinda spoil the twist this is just an elaborate theatrical play since it opens on a literal curtain raiser over Digger's window in his house. After that, it's just him waking up and taking Maggie with him.
>>223686642>>223686646I was just thinking because she's a theater kid and this is about a play so...
>>223686648Guess you’ll have to dig to find out
>>223686648The movie is making fun of the kind of people who would make Don't Look Up or The Day After Tomorrow
>>223686707No thanks. I'm not going to give a single minute of my time to shill for lies.
>>223686648This, the movie should tell me everything's fine
>>223686709Okay good but is it perpetuating the climate change myth?
>>223686736Take your meds
>>223686818How about you take another dick down your throat you tranny leftiest
>>223686700she'll really like it
What I liked was the fat spoiled enviroment security guy sitting there in his hungarian duck coat, too scared to take charge and sound the alarm in time. The whole scene had me lauhging but in retrospect it really do be like that
>>223686818perfect response to handle these incel chuds. you just put them in their place like the misbehaving schoolboys they are.
The second viewing really shook me upFirst go around was all caught up in the spectacle, how funny it was, swept up in the twists and charm of the entire thing. When I saw it yesterday, once Level 4 hit, i just stayed in my seat. The nuisance in the satire hit harder. Made it feel a lil' bleaker. Ending hit harder. Right afterwards I bought a glass vase to put inside my Digger boot and put flowers in it. Felt appropriate.
So why was John Goodman preserved in the freezer on Digger’s rig at the end? Some kind of commentary on senile politicians or that they’re literally as well as figuratively in the custody of the mega-wealthy oligarchs? Was there a practical in-universe reason for it or did someone just think yeah just throw him in there for a laugh lmao. Were they going to EAT HIM?>>223683545The switch in aspect ratio after he steals that guy’s phone and starts recording himself ruins it for me. Took me out of it even more than the “plot twist” did
>>223683545>WHEN MY GRAN' DADDY STRUCK HIS SHOVEL AND HIT OILLike other anons said, the spinning floor was a insanely great prop. Speech was even better the second time around because you realize it's maybe the only time you really hear the real Digger.
>>223682984I saw it as Curtis trying to say the writing is shit and dishonest. The play was focused on making Digger and the politicians involved look like bumbling fucking morons who were too ignorant and incompetent to manage the crisis they created. But deep down they all know that Digger wasn't an idiot, they just couldn't cope with the reality of his evil and so turned him into something they can laugh and mock."His cat might’ve been his whole life, sure, he was uncultivated, a vulgarian, but he was also composed. It's frightening. A seductive psychopath. He wasn't some kind of clown.""
>critics hate Digger bc it's pretentious moralising slop that placates the masses and makes them feel good about themselves>but actually it's a movie that states to the camera the genre is complete slop and every hollywood """satire""" is bankrolled by the same billionaires raping the earth Digger was based as fuck. Boomers got offended bc they are the cunts burning oil til the cows come home.Based Digger.
>>223670242Honestly this. That's why it's good to take the Digpill. No need to waste time watching hollyjew slop anymore.
>>223670501You're right anon.We need more Digger threads.
>>223671182Based
>>223672435>If you notice at the end of the film not everyone outside has masks, showing that there is an upper class to the society that gets to benefit from the bread and circuses without doing anything meaningful to fix them.This went over Mark Kermode's head.He larps as a lefty yet cannot actually handle left wing cinema. Reminds me of when Sorry to Bother You came out and mysteriously bombed.
>>223671111Checked, diggerkino confirmed
>>223675716But it was you fucking moron.A movie can criticise climate activism and still acknowledge climate change is real. Fuck there are some dumb fucks on this board. Stop watching critical drinker and you might learn how to interperate cinema again.
>>223680972ROARING KEK
>>223681824It's only been out for 9 days and I struggled to find a session time this afternoon.Ironically, Digger has been, buried.
>>223687812>Level 4qrd?
>>223688270Not gonna explain it, just watch the movieKnowing the less is better honestly
>>223681824Garbage shill fake news. >officially being pulledWhat does "officially being pulled" mean as opposed to simply "pulled"?>biggest swing in decadesRock of Ages wasn't decadeS ago; more like A decade.
>>223688311What is Level 4, dipshit? Something on the screen?
Was the 10 cent shovel meant to fire in the last act?There was that story about his grandfather and his brother, and ultimately he had to bury himJust like they shoved the president into that fridgeBut the shovel itself? They were tripping over it when they were leaving his room, but I was waiting for that gun to be fired in the last act
>>223687919>So why was John Goodman preserved in the freezer on Digger’s rig at the end?Maybe people hated him so much that he had to flee to the oil platform with Digger.
>>223687919I think the workers say something like "we had to put him in there", basically implying he was in a cryogenic chamber but got downgraded to a food freezer due to limited power. Nice catch there, that Digger owns the prez's body like a collectable relic is something to notice.
>>223688491You didn't see the movie
>>223681961He was talking about the president and VP being on the plane at the same time idiot
>>223682474That's the main aspect. But there is also a dimension of the people not really wanting to change. They want to keep their lavish lifestyles and Amazon deliveries but then blame the people that make it possible for them
>NO PHONEPOSTING IN THE ASSEMBLY! NO PHONEPOSTING IN THE ASSEMBLY!>FUCK YOU, LET EM BAN EVADE WITH AIRPLANE MODE I WASN'T TALKIN TO YOU ANYWAY>I'm talkin to YOU good folks, the comfy lurkers at home.

>>223685485Just tell him you are seeing it for the Indian dude
>>223686700No. Watch Primetime instead. I saw a bunch of couples at it and zero couples at Digger
>>223687078It's like the milligram experiment. People will do reckless things if someone more important than them is telling them to do it
>>223688491Watch the fucking movie. Only Diggerbros know
>>223688749Just answer the question. Nobody cares about your being retarded; it's not cute. What am I looking for?
>>223688491>>223688763watch the movie and its obvious bro, it's a spoiler.
>>223682299motherfucker its on the main MAPPA account for the MAPPA excebition and there's also a video of it
>>223688843No, I don't want that! I don't want /tv/ to move on and find someone else! I want /tv/ to keep posting about Digger for at least ten more weeks!
>>223674016It's less like DLU and more like Dr Strangelove meets Birdman
What the fuck did the cast on the pinky represent?Anything? It felt comically large, when I suppose gauze or a splint or something else smaller would protect it. The whole cat bite thing is interesting and confusing, and I can't help but feel it means something more than Maggie being a symbol for earth/nature
>>223689185an anon said it well earliershowing diggers selfishness that he keeps it alive just for himself. it's like an abusive relationship. And the gauze to show he's really more concerned about himself than the cats death. as soon as the cat hurts him once he is totally fine with killing it.If we are putting tinfoil hats on it could be that this abusive relationship mirrors ours to the state, where if we tried to defend ourselves against prolonged suffering we'd be killed and stomped out by a force who has unequal power compared to us.
>>223682703I was listening to the soundtrack the other day and I was in awe at how good it is, but especially how elements like the birds or the water dripping come from the music and not the scenehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qCb9MN8DA8
>>223689578I love that opening theme. it sets the tone extremely well
Imagine being a D I G G E R
>>223689578can't wait to see the BTS for this film
What did you feel when Digger jumps into the water? The Fossil Fools audience was laughing, but what about the Digger audience?
>>223689781To be honest I didn't know how to feel or think because of all the layers of criticism of the movie.Maybe now thinking about it, I thought about how easy is to manipulate the masses and how everything is staged, fake, etc. Something like that.
>>223689781>>223689914Also about how dystopian the future looks. Specially when the people of the audience started to put on their futuristic masks when the alarm started to sound. That shit will happen again in the future and the world will become a nightmare to live in. The covid pandemic broke a lot of people forever, imagine if there is another pandemic now. People wouldn't be able to handle another thing like that. So it reminded me to all the insanity lived at the time of the pandemic.
is this the best poster? I also like the cartoony orange one and the one of him with his foot on the globe with the shovel
>>223689988I really really like the DIGGER with boots and a shovel
>>223689978There are still some old people who go to the same grocery store as me who haven't stopped wearing their coof masks. I don't think they'll ever believe they're safe again as long as they live.
>>223688270Level 4 references the air quality alert outside the theater, which is announced at the end of the play. Don't know why these idiots couldn't just say that:>>223688311>>223688586>>223688749>>223688806
>>223690129we want him to actually watch the movie
>>223687776pathetic samefag lmao
>>223690129Telling what is level4 is a spoiler because it confirms the play is based on facts
>>223690139>>223690180>muh the sixth sense>muh m. knight saarlamanYeah, I'm sure revealing that it was a play, which, besides being endlessly discussed otb and everywhere else for the last 9 days, was obvious in the first 5 minutes when a literal curtain lifted and he was playing with an obviously fake cat--and was flat-out revealed at 15 minutes when the tree fell over and the set rolled back--was going to stop anyone who genuinely wanted to see this from going to see it. If the first 115 minutes of the movie didn't force you out of the theater, the last 5 won't, either. You're watching a movie like this for its quality, not its twist ending.
>>223690280It being a play isn't a twist left for the end though?
>>223690294>it was all just a play?>alright, nevermind, I don't go see it>the fucking IDEA that people would act in front of an audience>i-it's too terrible to be borne!
>>223689781it felt surreal like a forced number which makes me think Rockwell didn't kill himself
>>223690280getting spoiled on the twist made me wanna see this movie way more desu.I was interested in the movie from the initial trailers but hearing about it is what made me seek out the camrip. excited for when it comes to streaming for HD hopefully I can catch it in theatres before then
Memes aside, how is the movie? I wasn't interested because I thought it was a Don't Look Up copy-cat, but then learned it's apparently a satire taking potshots at it. I hated hated hated Don't Look Up, so now I'm curious.
>>223690461It's very good, I fear my speakers won't be able to do it justice once it's on digital. Definitely one of the best theatre experiences I've had
>>223690461It's an interesting film. Like, you go into it expecting Don't Look Up with hammy Tom Cruise performance and at the start it looks and feels like that's exactly what you're getting. And then they pull back and it's not that. And they start interrogating the idea of making stories like that in the first place. I don't want to call it Kaufmanesque or nothing but it's kind of Kaufmanesque
>>223690461it's unironically brilliant. i'd compare it to dr. strangelove and eyes wide shut. definitely check it out, bro. join the digger nation. the movie gives you what you want in really clever political satire that feels relevant, and also very funny and entertaining and clever.kubrick is smiling down at tom cruise from heaven for continuing his legacy of making controversial symbolic films that challenge audiences and the establishment.It was a big risk to spend so much on a movie like this, but it was worth every penny. a lot of critics got filteredrun don't walk to see digger, it's an instant classic.you should see in the theatre if you can.
>>223690461Aside from the story the comedic timing and actor performances are top notch
>>223690461I love dark comedy and political satire so it was right up my alley. you will probably enjoy it if you enjoy good films
Is the end supposed to be mocking people that wore or that are still wearing masks with the whole Compliance is freedom written on the wall and that some people aren't wearing masks outside
>>223689988I can't unsee the shovel is too small
>>223690765The guy not wearing a mask on the boat there was clearly a bum coughing and looking fucked
>>223690783Am I the only one that was disappointed the shovel didn't appear more?
>>223690864theres a deleted scene used in trailers (or maybe was just B roll) of him dancing with the shovel on the oil rig thing>>223690765the masks seem to be something that only the more wealthy can afford and also to show how bad the world has gotten. and the graffiti seems like a reflection on the authoritarian state at the end of the film. like a big brother style thing idk>>223690461it's really kino
time to dig us a new thread soon
Is the Boot worth it? Does it fall apart easily?
>Neither Tom Cruise nor Alejandro González Iñárritu contributed a percentage of the budget from their own personal capital. The film's production cost (estimated at between $125 million and $180 million) was financed entirely by Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures.I thought Cruise and Iñárritu had invested money in the movie.
>>223691054Oh man that WarnerParamount monster is never greenlighting something like this again
>>223690461I'm the same. I hated Don't Look Up and think it's one of the worst movies of this decade. I watched this because I'll always give Tom Cruise a chance, and it's basically a giant fuck you to movies like Don't Look Up. Loved it and am fully Diggerpilled.
>>223691054>Iñárritu and Cruise took over a hundred million dollars from dumb studios and made the most anti-establishment, anti-corporate, non-blockbuster movie of their careersit doesn't get any more based
>>223691011Anyone digging?
>>223691533based. it will definitely get a following more over time, really great solid movie.
>>223691375I'm digging then, stand by
New thread with Satanic trips here>>223691666
