Man of the Year! Discuss WB's last ever film and the art of satirising satire here.Previous >>223669900
Thank you, Satan
Did anyone get the popcorn boot?
I watched the film today.Went in completely blind, not having read any reviews or synopses. I was hesitant at first, since the film seemed to be somewhat similar to Don't Look Up, a notoriously preachy and terribly written film, but as time went on, I understood that this film intends to criticise precisely the sort of films like DLU. Through the main character, Curtis Markson, the audience is exposed to the idea of there being more nuance to the issue at hand, while the play's director explains the necessity of black comedy for a despondent audience, both in-universe and metanarratively. Kenny Rockwell, the producer of the play and nephew of the person our main character portrays, acknowledges both sides and even says that they're both correct.This film reminded me a lot of Dr. Strangelove, particularly in its comedy and acting. I thought the performances were very interesting, and while Cruise does dominate the film, the entire cast did a very solid job. While watching, I noticed how exaggerated the performances were, before realising that this is something real stage actors do to convey emotion and information to people sitting further back.I'm a big fan of Iñárritu's work, and I liked the film a lot, but I acknowledge that this film in particular will be (and evidently has already been) a hard sell for most, especially compared to his more mainstream films like The Revenant or Biutiful. I give it a 7,5/10.
Digger was loud as shit I think it blew the speakers in the IMAX and some scenes are literally just ear splitting noise for long amounts of time
>>223691728in english, doc.
>>223691666>generaljesus this shit is forced HARD
What rhymes with DIGGER?
>>223691703Turned mine into a flower vase
>>223691804Digger is probably the first must see movie since Tim Burton's Batman 1989
Inarritu, he is a friend of mine, my namesake, his father name him after me when I save his life in the Amazon, long story there, but Inarritu, he make film, Amores Perros, very dirty, very nasty, I love it, you love it, he make name for himself, he make Babel and shows the Japanese girl, she has hairy culo, yes? Is fantastic!So this film, he also make. And he tell me Uncle Alejandro, he call me this, he tell me I am not sure how to do this. I ask what is problem, simple climate change film like Day After Tomorrow, big Hollywood star, big explosion, easy money then make good pelicula again after, but no he say to me, he say he want make good this time, with this, make art with this!And I see his problem. How make art when make big Hollywood thing, how to dig for gold in shit? And I ask him this, how do you dig for gold in shit, and he light up! He light up, his eyes beaming, he shine like aura of Virgin Mary, and he say to me Uncle Alejandro, this is what we do, we dig! We dig deeper!Alright, calm down Inarritu, I say to him, like a puppy, yes? Calm down. I ask him, how to dig deeper, what is deeper here? What is below surface? And he say artifice, is all artifice. So he make the movie about that artifice. Is all fake, so he make the movie about fake, see? And below the fake, there is reality. So there was reality, real thing happen, then fake story is above that, then Hollywood shit is above that, and this he make, like this he make! This is Digger!Incredible!
>>223691811jogger
>>223691824Neat
Tst
Does this movie really need a general?
>>223692011get lost troll, we are digging here!
I found the movie to be Brechtian
>>223692110>BrechtianWhat is thatWHAT THE HELL IS THAT?
>>223692011digg off
It has been said a lot in these threads about how the marketing sucks (which I agree) but lets think about it. Clearly they wanted the play to be a plot-twist so they omitted it from everything. So I ask (you): How would you market this movie? You have to hide to play so clearly theres not much you can do already. Most of it its just "watch It because Tom Cruise is in it" but I guess zoomers dont care about him anymore. I think I would show a bit in more of the backstage scenes with only Cruise in it to keep It a bit confusing but without revealing the plot twist.
>>223691728You said this last thread.
>>223692271The play was revealed fairly early on, so I don't think hiding it was their aim.
>>223692342Almost the entire trailer is from the first 10 mins of the movie
>>223691728Far too intelligent of a post for this wretched board
>>223691703didn’t had the digger merch here unfortunate
>>223691728I'm also blind there are versions with narration.
>>223692011Watch it and you'll know the answer
>>223692271the initial trailers just revealed too little I think and it made it look like a wes anderson film or something, but I also understand why they did that and appreciate them trying to not spoil it. tom cruise probably did the best marketing just by posting a clip from the speech scene on twitter
>>223691824Kewl
based digger nation
>>223692271Keep the marketing the same but replace Tom Cruise's name in everything with Curtis Markson
>>223692458If I had friends who weren't so busy all the time I'd watch it. Don't like going to the movies alone. Hey maybe we could do a watch room party here if someone is keen on ripping it
this movie is so fucking kino. I loved it. couldn't recc it more highly. best film I've seen in a long time. stanley kubrick would be proud
Feels bad that this is probably the last big budget primetime movie we ever get that isn't franchise slop. There is no way Hollywood will ever blow 200 milly on something like this again, that is to say if they don't just AI generate everything.
>>223691666>Satan tripsNice. Guess I might watch it after if my buddy says he'll join me>>223692678True I wonder if we'll ever get big budget kino again. These threads are reminding me the Batman dark Knight opening weekend threads. And maybe a little bit of digital circus movie threads
>>223691830Unironically, while watching the film I felt a jodorowskian contempt for America coming from it.
digg or die
>>223691666i watched the first 20 minutes or so and it comes off as heavy handed "evil white old capitalism man who doesnt care about the global ramifications"tell me im wrong and theres some really big plot twist/character pivot halfway thru that proves this wrongalso fun fact he literally MADE ben stiller allow him to play this same exact character in Tropic Thunder and specifically made him jewish, that was his ultimatum to being in the movie
>>223692130Similar to the work of playwrite Bertolt Brecht
>>223693015just keep on diggin' it's worth it to stick through
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GmYsHZjTPk
I liked the pajeet guy
>>223693015You're a rightoid subhuman. Your brain is broken and you will never learn. Don't watch it. It's a waste of time for you.
>>223693453his character is very funny. love the scene where he gets drunk
>>223693015>i watched the first 20 minutesso you missed the entire point of the film. Good work, your brain is cooked.
>>223693453You can tell he will be in a Wes Anderson movie in the future
Is it worth seeing on a small cinema screen or should I wait for digital release?
>>223693508>>223693473everything about the introduction of his character screams "bigoted old white capitalist oil man knows the environmental dangers of drilling for more oil but does so anyways because he wants more money!"but yes theres going to be a HUGE shift in his character right? its actually going to turn out to somehow champion destroying the earth right?its some how a huge anti-left movie in the end holy crapz!
>>223693586You are totally not a right wing SJW btw.
>>223693453everyone does
Any other good examples of media doing the story-within-a-story like this?
>>223693573You will end up regretting not seeing it in the theatre
>>223693630It's only in the tiny shitty cinema now tho
>>223693015Layer 1: this movie is about how evil white people destroyed the world with climate change!Layer 2: this is a pretentious art movie about how evil white people destroyed the world with climate change, but with extra steps for Oscar baitLayer 3: this is decent if heavy-handed satire about how people try to mock their enemies and control the narrative around a subject that is so far beyond their control the very notion of making art about it is doomed to failure Layer 4: this is a clever and strangely subtle satire about its own complicity in the liberal media's portrayal of its enemies, an active and self-aware participant in the process of creating false narratives while also critiquing the creation of those narrativesLayer 5: I like it when Tom Cruise yells and makes funny dance movesKeep digging, brother
>>223693573This is going to sound pretentious, but the act of getting up and walking out of the cinema at the end is a part of the movie.
>>223693619Wes Anderson’s Asteroid City, which is another misunderstood kino that everybody got wrong the first time.
>>223693619The Fall and The Princess Bride come to mind, in both films you know the story is fake but keep getting invested in it anyway
>>223693586>Dude it's totally heckin based that billionaires are making the planet unlivable. I LOVE Israel
>>223693670I like the feeling of leaving a good movie and knowing I supported it and contributed to the box office.
>>223693015good bait, NIGGER
>>223693600>still havent refuted my point of obvious characters and plot points hamfisted in your face from the start of the filmthis is just like Sean Penn in One Battle After Another, a fucking leftist portraying a "based right caricature" when in reality, they're the "bad guy" of the plot because the overal message is "them bad, other side good"the very fucking scenario is just like Dont Look Up, this movie might as well been a Netflix or Apple TV movieagain, tell me im some how wrong, the fucking guy literally threatens the scientist who warns him of the ice melting with his job if he doesnt keep drilling, this isnt some super "deep think piece"
>>223693600Just not watching movies made by Mexican lefties, sorry!
>>223693573both. will be great to watch at home but try to see in theatres while you still can. I watched the camrip and I regret not seeing it in theatres
Imagine being a digger
>>223693746filtered by kino of the year award
>>223693738Anon... Tom Cruise, he... isn't Digger Rockwell, he's an actor playing Digger Rockwell in a stage production that's trying to turn him into a ridiculous figure contrary to actual historical eventsLike this isn't even some twist ending, you literally stopped watching so early you don't even know what the movie is actually about hahaha
>>223693738>the very fucking scenario is just like Dont Look Up, this movie might as well been a Netflix or Apple TV movieThe entire movie is a parody of don't look up and how this kind of satire is ultimately limp dicked and toothless while ultimately serving the interests of the billionaire owner classDid you really have a right wing melty not even 20 minutes into the movie? Please consider suicide
>>223691728He did the revenant? I had to stop watching 15 min in when they wouldn’t just stop firing arrows into everyone’s brains. Just felt unnecessarily gruesome, like a 14 year old’s idea of what makes a film “serious”.
>>223693738just keep diggin' broyou're getting filtered
>>223692011Yes
film is so fucking good, i loved it but man im sad it flopped
>>223693573Actually I found a screening in the big room, next sunday
/tv/ has to be the most braindead board on this site
>>223693738Anon, maybe watch the whole movie next time.
>>223693818WOAH ITS ACTUALLY COMMENTARY ON HOW THIS TOTALLY AWESOME CAPITOLIST RIGHTCHARACTER HAS SHIFTED DUE TO LIBERAL VIEWS! WOAH! CANCEL CULTURE CRITICISM!WOW THIS IS TOTALLY BASED NOW! (as we're literally going right fucking back to a huge blue wave because trump fucked everything and even TEXAS is about to be swept by blue in the mid terms and all other major states leading to a complete re-start on the bullshit we had leading up to 2024 election)also fuck tom cruse, this motherfucker literally had flashbacks from the fucking same fucking movie within the fucking movie of the last MI film because he thinks audiences are retarded.
>>223693903based digger it'll get more popular over time. I'm already seeing a bunch of video essays poppin up about how the film is an underrated masterpiece and stuff like that
>>223693880Can a digga borrow some oil?
>>223693926actually watch the movie before you try to shit on it, retard.
>>223693903digger has cultural legs in 25 years we'll be watching it in a theatre restored by a shady technocrat
>>223693926Why did you write a bunch of shit nobody said in all caps? Digger Rockwell was not an awesome figure, he just wasn't a ridiculous one. Please watch the movie to the end before discussing it.
>>223693972Is Digger just double posting with a "Maggie" account lol
>>223693972>I NEED cock Digger. Also I'm dying
>>223691666After Tonight Creeps, assemble!
I don't buy popcorn slop buckets but I'm considering getting the boot because there's no other merch for this film. imagine if they made toys of digger
Digger is certified kino
I wasn't getting enough discussion i nthe thread so I went on YouTube, found some guy saying Tom Cruise is a dude playing a dude playing another dude and got a good chuckle out of it.Might have to rewatch Tropic Thunder now
>>223693586I mean Rockwell is just Rockfeller it’s not like these people don’t exist
ok I will watch Digger in IMAX
>>223693704You forgot the gigachad image
>>223694519Based!
Fuckin /digg/ers and your general. Your psy-op worked and I am sitting in the theater about to watch it.
FUCKING DIGGERS
>What a fucking Digger
Keep on diggin' on
>>223693453He’s legit a best supporting actor contender this year.
Happy she’s working, shame she had like 4 lines.
>>223695407How dare you assume somethings genderit has worked hard for that work
>>223695407whomst?
>>223695407I shipped her with Digger
>>223691703Are there mods of this yet
>>223693911It is actually /x/ but /tv/ is a close #2
>>223692271The play reveal isn't the big twist, the ending is
>>223693015>i watched the first 20 minutes or so and it comes off as heavy handed "evil white old capitalism man who doesnt care about the global ramifications"You misunderstood the movie
What are the current box orifice numbers? Just how dugg in are we for success?
>>223694945Just got out. Honestly, not bad.
>>223691666you stole "man of of the year year" from my post a short while ago you faggotMano fthe year is shit
>>223691666checkedi saw someone post that they're going to regret not seeing it in theaters, and i didn't know what they meant until i stayed for the full credits. if your theater does it right, its a great moment that you WILL remember.
>>223697321I didn't stay for the full. Was there more than Level 4?
>>22369630160% drop off week 2It's really fucking over
>>223693573This is the kind of movie that in the future you'll be proud to say you saw in theaters
>>223697590based and true>>223697518refer to the image also if someone smarter than me could replace Snyder with digger in the pic would be kino
>>223693836I'm not a huge fan of this guy's films but did you ever stop for one single second and consider to yourself that you are a massive pussy?
>their marketing team is now fully leaning into the “it’s so BAD/WEIRD you have to see it!”Digger bros… Are we getting too desperate? Will this actually draw in more viewers?
>>223693926Horrible bait
>>223697660Unironically ask an AI
>>223693066Playwright.Like a shipwright or wheelwright.A craft distinct from other writing.
>>223691728I loved it. The difference between Innaritu and Mckay (Don't Look Up) is that Innaritu acknowledges his own complicity, whereas McKay is piously lecturing.The Production design is God Tier.
i really liked it, i got it in imax and wasnt disappointed. still trying to make up my mind on the film. as much as people are making such a big deal about the big speech, for me, i think the bigger point of the film is that art (actual art) is above, and more complicated than, the slop that most of the time we just slop up. The film can only make this argument because the story within the story is interesting and open to interpretation, as we obviously see from the conversations with the actors, director, and producer. I don't this argument is as trite as "art is complicated man" but more like "things that are actually worth calling art, are interesting, and people experience them differently. And it can be complicated, and open to interpretation, but still have points that are obviously, actually true (like Cruise's speech) .>>223697817yikes
WELL, SIR, UH, AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, SIR...NO I CAN'T SEE IT, SANDEHUH, OKAY, UH, CAN YOU SEE IT NOW?NO, SANDEH, I CAN'T SEE IT, SEE, CUZ IT'S LAMINATED, AND THE REFLECTION FROM THE THING--PUT IT DOWN
>>223698921lol Tom portrays an old white-male-capitalist-boomer eloquently, he really makes it easy to see what the film makers want us to feel, that we should HATE this character, why does he not care about the environment? why doesnt he like muslim mayors and transgenders in schools? EVIL man is EVIL!
just watched digger again it's so kino
I think the fact that the development of the movie/storyline is so dependent on revealing new information to the audience really fucked up their ability to market this film.in the trailer they focused only on the frame story as the actual story of the movie which was necessary to not spoiler additional reveals, like the frame story being a frame story, the fact they are in the future, the fact that the events of the play actually happened, the nephew thing, etc., most of which are released gradually to the audience .
>>223699031#triggeredbydigger
>>223692271Honestly the marketing worked for me>its a Tom Cruise vehicle>Tom Cruise plays an oil magnate who destroys the world>it's wackyI genuinely respect them not spoiling the play stuff. Every trailer wants to reveal the whole fucking movie nowadays.
never laughed oncebut I liked itmaybe a little chuckle at his jesus moment
Is there any diversity on this film?Because I fucking hate Diggerrrrs.Last night I was at the gas station and I thought that Diggers could be everywhere
>>223699031Yeah you should dislike the guy that directly caused the apocalypse in the movie. Imagine that!
>>223699031they literally spell out that the point is the no one but yourself is at fault
>>223694390>>223694101I am seeing Diggerverse in the future. Digger the choose your own catastrophe bookDigger the Saturday morning cartoonDig! A Musical based in the Motion Picture DiggerPossibilities are endless
>>223697387...no.But you feel a bleakness to staying after
at my screening last night there was an old boomer guy who I could immediately tell was the type of elderly left winger that would have absolutely loved the movie if it had just remained an exaggerated don't look up style hit piece on nebulous "elites". he was laughing really loudly for the first third of the movie until the reveal and then he spent most of the rest of the movie muttering things to his wife. the funny thing was any time it went back to being a ridiculous parody (the scene where goodman is sitting on the end of his bed, most of the scene in the airplane, and the scene where it's revealed goodman is dead in the freezer on the oil rig) he was still loudly laughing along with the movie as if it were an snl skit. honestly it made the entire film experience way more immersive and interesting because I could directly see the type of guy the movie was criticizing and observe his reactions to what was happening and gauge if he could tell he was being criticized(I don't think he could).
how it feels to show people Digger and convert Digger haters into Diggers
Kek, Ellisons are really desperate in trying to make this shit flick a thing.
>>223699390diggers rise up
>CHINAAAAAAAAA
>>223699458fuck, everybody in my theater laughed out loud at this. it was humorous on its own merits but i cringed at the fact that as soon as it was uttered i was like "oh, this will be funny because its a trump thing"
>>223699480I wanna see it in theatres, where I live the last day is the 15th. Not sure when it's coming to streaming
>>223699546go see it. i have a few more days to see it again in imax am hoping i can get it again before it goes away
I noticed on the second viewing that Curtis wife seems kinda off. Idk why but she just seemed kinda cold and reserved?also schizo theory time (only read if you've seen the movie): theory: the crisis that happens to curtis (actor who plays digger) family member maybe was literally manufactured by diggers nephew in order to keep curtis in line. he knew that the actor curtis had been causing problems and so to keep him in line he puts his sister in danger. maybe he is so rich and powerful he could manipulate a flight. (ok maybe I'm smoking crack now)theory 2 (most likely): he is using curtis crisis to benefit himself. by helping him with his sister, he keeps him in line.and theory 3 (how its presented): Kenny does this act solely to help curtis because he likes him, its unlikely he would do this for any average person. thoughts?
I baseded out when they played the fallout song
>>223699810so many moments when i said to myself "kino"
>>223697147Diggerchads stay winning
>>223699480It's obviously a trump thing but he's also not the first retarded US president
>>223696134I don’t think /x/ even has real users
>>223697737Actually I’m a based Chad if you must know. But there’s just no reason to embellish so many gory deaths like that. It’s one thing for a flick like saving private ryan that’s going for shocking realism. This was just videogame tier blood and guts headshot after headshot while the lead actors kind of just moved around from mark to mark barely noticing that another 6 men just got arrowed to the face. It was sloppy, and gross. Not cinematic at all.
The tuna scene was the moment when I realized the movie was aiming for something more than "right wing bad".When I first found out it was a meta narrative, I lost interest. However, after seeing it, I think combining a meta narrative with satire adds a surprising amount of depth.Something that struck me was that despite climate change and the cataclysmic destructive ice chunks, technology continued to advance. There is a line within the play that the one heading for Alaska was going to wipe out the oil refineries and mitigate the power of the US dollar. However, we see an extravagant production that definitely cost a considerable amount of money and thus would mean the tickets were not cheap either.Also, I found the crowd cheering Digger's suicide humorous. The treat him as the person who has ruined the world. However, from what we saw other than new technology, society is functioning just as it was in the past but with small inconveniences; masks, power outages and the temperature being hotter. Society is still nominal enough for cross continental flights and extravagant theater plays. Add in Digger's monologue about society needing oil out of convenience, society's need for convenience led to future inconveniences that they use Digger as a scapegoat for their hatred.
>>223700106>society is functioning just as it was in the past but with small inconveniencesI think the end is meant to imply that the US is pretty fucked up. There's a guy in a mask with a rifle in a tank just casually posted up next to a theater.
tree guy underrated character
>>223699780You're a schizo.He was legitimately helping.The daughter missing and the actor worrying about it is a thematic parallel to the play within the movie's world. Despite nature's attempt (hurricane/ice shelfs) to eradicate humanity (daughter/society) and we (actor/society) get caught in doom spiral, humanity perceivers (plane made it out of the storm/oxygen masks).
>>223700269so do you see Kenny as a sympathetic character or a sinister one? I think he's kinda both right.
>You're both right.
>>223700163Eh. It was New York City and there was a massive amount of people walking in the background and I think that having a high production play shows that society hadn't slipped too far.Which you bringing that makes me wonder if Digger's nephew's security company is the robot and the guy in the (not a tank) MRAP.
>>223699780>Curtis's wife seems kinda off. Idk why but she just seemed kinda cold and reserved?Felt the same on my first watch. I wasn't sure she was actually his wife at first, because she just did not act like it.
>>223700409How'd he lose so much weight :( was it meth
>>223699810My dad who is a HUGE fallout fan went to the fucking bathroom when they played it. He came back and was like "oh I only caught the tale end of that"
>>223700442yeah true not even sure that's his wife.
>>223700397I saw him as a Peter Thiel type character, probably evil and doing good acts to launder his public image
>>223699320I felt no bleakness because there were sounds of animals that filled me with hope.
>I felt no bleakness because there were sounds of animals that filled me with hope.
>>223691830underrated
>>223700397Neither. I just think he is opportunistic and is following Digger's philosophy of controlling perception. When he saw the reactions from the audience to the small production of the play, he saw the writing on the wall that his family was the target of great ire. Thus, he sees the opportunity to control the negative perception and make money of it while also enjoying the wealth accumulated by his security company. Which if my theory, >>223700415 , is correct then perhaps he is cultivating hatred for Digger and using the play as an outlet for the masses to express the frustration of the current state of society in order to distract them from the Kenny's "fascist" security company.
>>223691666Last name literally Rockwell? Should've had SAM do it.
Ive seen it twice in Vista Vision. Kind of want to see it in Imax now. The European Parliament scene will be better with a better sound system and bigger screen. I honestly dont feel like vistavision added a whole lot.
>>223699780>>223700442He was practically begging his wife to say "I love you" back and she eventually relents when his assistant walks in but directs the "I love you" to the assistant. But yet, she is very supportive in regards to him performing that night.
>>223700618There are only four cinemas in the world that show movies in VistaVision
>>223700588>>223700482>>223700269good takes. you're all right.enjoy this shit quality 3x3 from the camripi will make a better one once we have the HD
>>223699480It's actually the entirety of our government being more focused on another country than our own well being
is there a way to interpret diggers speech at parlament as being based, or is it just this meme, and a way to escape accountability? thoughts on that scene and his speech in general?
>>223700588>controlling perceptionHollywood frequently decried Murdoch + Fox News, then COVID revealed the party lines don't matter when Pentagon/CIA want to spread whatever they ordered. Most MSM are even owned by Juice.>>223700482Thiel is linked to Epstein to Rothschilds. They all are. There is no "laundering" if MSM didn't enable it, so once again these satires focus on the outdated "great man theory", when it is the entire 1st~4th estates that act against the common person.>>223700269So AGI is unaware of geo-engineering is literally among Pentagon's operations? He thinks nature is just full freak accidents or some big company drilling oil? Pentagon actually funds cloud seeding operations/fronts. Never mind evidence of direct energy weapons in escalating Cali fires.
>>223693944How is a digga gonna borrow some oil? Digga is you gonna give it back?
Just saw Digger, what did I think of it?
>>223700675Thanks for the factoid, grok.
torrent when?
>>223701150whenever it goes on streaming, there is a camrip out.
thinkign of digger i can't stop crying
>>223701009It has a lot of uncomfortable truths, AND many attempts to direct away accountability. In the context of the play its also Curtis' attempt to bring the character back towards what he wants the portrayal to be: a more realistic, nuanced view of the man that caused a real catastrophe, not just an exaggerated clown. The idea is that in the world of the real events this speech was televised and much harder to dramatize and stretch the truth. But when you add in the extra layer of the play being a Rockwell funded production, along with the idea that the entire movie is itself an in-universe piece of propaganda, a dual-sided "Its both based and cope!" take could be seen as the intended effect, a sort of fence-sitting message approved by the powers that be.
>watching digger knowing nothing about it>'wow this reminds me of birdman'>look it up after the fact>same writer directorI dont know how I feel about the director making such a similar type of movie years later. I liked the movie well enough and as a recent amateur theatre enthusiast it really engaged me, but the movie is super similar to Birdman except I remember Birdman being a bit more focused on the real-life character stuff rather than the play itself. I did thoroughly enjoy the movie overall though and I'm bummed to see it flop. Comedies really are a no-go these days, huh
>>223701247>the entire movie is itself an in-universe piece of propagandais anyone gonna dress up as digger for halloween? thinking of getting a costume together
>>223701294based diggerdigger is an instant classic!
The awful, desperate shilling here for this terrible movie is gonna be a fun memory when I look up the biggest box office bomb or think about Tom Cruise in the future.

I have cancer of the asshole.
>>223691666it's not in theaters yet or is it gone already?
>>223701909i was the only one that chuckled at that line, maybe it was only funny to me because it was john goodman saying it
goodnight diggerskeep on diggin'
if i was paid to post digger i'd be a diggionaire
>>223693664based take
>>223700675Yeah i live in LA saw it at the grove. One of the 5.
i dont know shit about tom cruise other than that he's the mission impossible guy. i didn't even know that was him as the lead, the only actor i recognized was goodman. how much makeup was cruise in?
>page 8Guess the shills ran out of money lmao
>both critic and audience ratings went up by 1

>>223701879This track has stuck with me for the past week. It's so ominous yet so wholesome. I can't describe the feeling I have towards it and it's really pissing me off.

Kojima now confirmed to be a soldier of Digger nation.
>>223705204Proofs?
I just wanted to say... DIGGER
>>223704233No, John Goodman yelling at the top of his lungs is just always funny
Movies are all bread and circus while the world burns. Yes, that includes this one
just finished watching Diggerthought it was interesting. I get what they're going for, the ending really hammered that point home. I can't say the movie was good. Something about it just didn't sit right with me.Tom Cruise had a great performance, really acted his ass off. He doesn't have a chance of winning an Oscar.
>>223703314this movie is like 100 million in debtwarner is billions in debtwarner doesn't have the money to shill on 4chan, take your meds. we do it for free cause we love the film, baby!sorry you don't like to see people talk about a film on the television and film board#triggeredbydigger
digger bros, we can't stop winnin'
the one thing that irked me was the idea that any of the actors would keep their fucking cell phones in their pockets when they go on-stage. ive done theatre and everyone knows thats a big no-nobetter yet the idea that his wife would call him KNOWING it's opening night. the bitch could have waited until everything was said and done before stressing him out over his daughter? she even said 'this is your night' earlier in the film only to then proceed to call him back later to deliver nothing but worrying news. very strange.
I’m a simple digger
>>223706316Perhaps norms around phones in plays have changed in the post apocalypse. Especially since it looks like 'level 4' warning are allowed to disrupt a play. Keeping your phone on you for child updates in a life or death situation is probably OK.
>mfw I saw a poster of my favorite Cassavetes in Curtis's green room
>>223691728What a fake shill post ha ha
digger haters be like>how is it a kino?
>>223691666Is this the new Don't Look Up?
>>223706900no it's like a kubrick film.i'm tired of digger kino being compared to that trash
>>223696188There is no twist at the end? They heavily implied that the world had gone to shit outside the theatre
>i wake up>i see digger things are lookin up all the time
Something feels inauthentic about this thread.
>>223707084#madatdigger?
>>223706900It does have a scene where a scientist screams at the top of his lungs, though.
can you dig it?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jBxPrdr2Gohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7okh7U2aHo
>>223706437Makes sense that cell phones would continue to encroach on our and others' personal lives more and more, the way they always have since first introduced.
>>223709020i like that little egg shaped phone curtis has

>>223699780Kenny does everything he does in the movie to control the narrative about Digger. He hired Tom because he's the only one who actually gets Digger and can bring the real side of him to the screen. In addition that makes him human and understandable which is obviously a huge matter of importance to Kenny. Kenny just like his Uncle is pulling the strings on those around. You either Dig or Die my boy. Kenny was a Digger thru and thru
>>223701009It's a realistic reflection of actual climate legislation that hopes to offer lip service to actual world changing consequences. The point of the scene is to show how ineffectual, non human (notice the grey and mannequins in Parliament), and devoid of any meaning their government was. Digger's speech is him just peeling back the media portrayal of the world and giving people basic facts. You say you want to preventa disaster, but you demand the cheapest fuel to make society run. These things are incompatible and Digger (deservedly and undeservedly) gets the blame because he's crazy enough to give people what they want and more. Just the same if you actually care and believe in various climate shit we have going on in the real world.
>>223709803I wonder how many actors that are climate activist seethed at the airplane line in the speech.
>>223709870Zero because the speech isn't for them. It's for the common man who will inherit the world the Parliament let happen and who the Parliament is playing a role for
>>223691728Thank ChatGPT
>>223701009The main reason we don't have other cheap and convenient sources of fuel that cause less climate damage is because big oil spends billions every year throwing money at lawmakers and scientists and propaganda to try to kill their opponents. Digger is literally walking into the parliament and telling them that they are his bitch and they always will be as long as they let him buy their asses instead of growing a spine and doing anything to improve the climate.
does watching "dont look up" contribute at all to the understanding of this movie?
Well I finally went to see it. It was a lot funnier than I expected. Except the scene where they're watching Judy hit Europe, that was kinda cringe. But Digger's big speech at the EU was even better than I was led to believe, and then it follows that right after with the scene where Digger and science guy go talk to the president and he's had his vision of how the Earth and his body are magically connected which got the biggest laugh out of me >I HAVE TO READ?!>Yes sir, all three booksWhen they're at the oil rig in the end and Digger prays, I legit wanted the miracle to happen but I knew he was just hallucinating and then when the actors all take a bow there was still genuine catharsis that I rarely get from a movieAnd then audience goes outside lolThey really don't make movies like this often
>Tom Cruise film Digger forecast to become one of Hollywood's biggest flopshttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cke8re5v1pgmo
>>223709803Compound that with the fact that Digger wasn't trying to destroy the world, just drill for oil. Wasn't his fault that a combustible methane pool under the ice asploded.
>>223691703>>223691824...
>>223710648I saw this. Interesting that this is front page. Immediately made me think of the gamergate coordinated press releases. "Now why would a movie failing, of which 15-20% do annually, and maybe 5% flop spectacularly, be front page news?"
>>223710737Those are getting pretty expensive already, I paid 24 euros for mine
>>223691666
>>223711004
>>223703829KEEP DIGGING
>>223710822the jew fears the digger
>black lady is yelling at Curtis>goes "You Americans...">Curtis immediately switches to talking in a posh British accentKek
>>223710228>The main reason we don't have other cheap and convenient sources of fuel.KEK. Go to Northern Texas and drive through the massive windmill farm and count how many of those fuckers you see spinning. The only reliable substitute for coal is nuclear but environmentalists would throw a bigger hissy fit over that.
>>223711130I love the part were she blames the older generation. Yeah, they fucked things up and rather pursuing a solution, your bitch ass chose to be a theater director.
>>223711130I forgot about this part. At first it seemed like a dressing down from an empowered coloured woman poc of colour, a la woke DIE girlboss. Then he threw it right back in her face with both barrels. Kino. You would have never seen that in any post-2020 movie. Maybe not even post 2012.
>>223711225She also had her authority undermined and her control over the situation taken away from her by Kenny>This is still my stage!>Not just yet!Meth Damon has really turned into one of the best working actors we have
>>223691703I plan to.
Bang bang bang
>>223711376These people were not clowns
>Why is it my problem?>BECAUSE YOU KNEW! You knew Digger was in theaters, yet you didn't take your friends and family to go see it. And not only did you know, you kept making threads about capeshit to keep them placated!
>>223711577why'd he eat the tuna?
>>223711624Because he earned it. Or maybe because he thought it was humanely and lovingly raised by the fake Japanese guy who doesn't exist so he wouldn't have to feel guilty about overfishing (which was Digger's goal with that story)
>>223711658>i wont play into your bullshit!>*immediately plays into his bullshit*what a fucking retard
>>223701879Guess I'm going to listen to this on loop for a while
noticed upon second viewing the barge worker says the water has been poisoned so they can't fish, and theres that phone call with the current president where he gets cut off of supplies I think that part is commentary on isolationism
>>223711800Also lost their cell service
Curtis says "Let's fucking go" both as Digger and himself
There were a couple guys in my showing who started to leave during the credits, then just hung out by the exit when they realized the dystopia just kept going. I didn't leave my seat until the Level 4 alert
>>223693926Wrong again. Try watching it before having an opinion. It's not what I'd call a smart movie, but it's a whole lot smarter than you'd like to think you are.
>>223711876everyone kept sitting here it was weird eerie atmosphere
I watched the movie because of these stupid fucking threads and it honestly was not that bad
>>223712110digger general rules!DIGG OR DIE
>>223712124I'M DIGGING OUT!
>>223712037The good thing about this movie, Digger, is that it wasn't preachy or lecture-y; it was simply itself.
>>223691666The best part about this movie is it's full of good monologues, but none of them states the thesis of the movie. They orbit the thesis and sort of reveal its center of gravity but they're all coming from individuals whose only concern is what THEY want and what THEY believe.This is a low bar to clear but 'preachy' movies always get it wrong and make the character seem to be aware they're in a movie with a global opinion. It's great to see it done well for once, especially since the play-within-a-movie gave them an out for being lazy.
Digger in IMAX is starting shortly just a couple miles away. Sh-should I do it? It may be the last chance ever.
>>223692011no, its just the standard viral marketing shills desperatly trynig to generate buzz for this failed propganda movie>OIL BAD CAPITALISM BAD AMERICA BAD>But there is le wacky atmosphere and twist!fuck off
>>223712235>should i digg? or should i die?the answer is obvious
>>223712268Is any movie that has any sort of message propaganda to you? Or just the movies that have a message you disagree with?
>>223712235digg it up
>>223710228I appreciated how the movie addresses this cycle and lets it just sit there instead of pretending it has an answer. Yeah no shit everyone's demanding oil and implicitly justifying Digger's actions. Yeah of course Digger is paying good money to KEEP that demand rising and ensure they don't get wise enough to stop. Yeah governments are gridlocked between enabling Digger while trying to stop him, all while reaping the benefits of the oil. Yeah Digger is corrupting those governments to keep them on the teat. It's all true, just one big snake devouring its tail. This is something we all grasp but I don't see many big movies that embrace the idea that there is no 'solution.'
>>223706900>Is this the new Don't Look Up?If you're going by the marketing, yes. If you actually watch the movie, no.
>>223692794The thought of harming Nia deliberately gives me sexual gratification
>>223697817Any time you get the "don't believe the critics, just watch the movie" messaging, it's already over. Ironically a movie about controlling a narrative completely fails at controlling a narrative.
>>223712834word of mouth is doing pretty good for the movie, its not all about box office
*ahem* DIGGERthat is all
>>223711049>>223711004welcome back catherine keener
>spends 150 million of warners money on an arthouse film that criticizes the establishmentholy based
>>223691666I really liked it, and don't understand what critics didnt like about it.
>>223714543
>>223701294I enjoyed it way more than Birdman desu
>it's a wb flickSo thats why this spam felt inorganic instead of actual authentic making fun of it spammore gingermod backed marketing
>>223711299That whole scene.He hits a certain expression and stance in a scene that just stuck with me. Who would've thought fucking Todd would've been such a stand out actor.
>>223710570>Three booksI was hoping that the third book was the Bible considering it proceeds him beating the preacher with one then throwing it away.
THIS BOARD IS HEBREWNOT AMERICAN
Got a kick out of Kenny calling Burn Gorman's character an extra and Burn responded, "I'm a professional actor!" Because when Burn was first introduced, my immediate thought was Burn was too good of an actor to have such a small role with few lines.
>>223705204We are all Diggin'Like Mario and princess Digg
This movie had the worst marketing campaign of all time
>>223716248they would have been better off not revealing anything about the plot and instead making it all about Tom Cruise in this weird role, which they did at first then dropped that
do you think digger will become a cult classic? I do
>>223716666It already is, Satan
>>223714958anon nobody is paying to shill movies on fucking 4chantake your meds already/tv/ is a pro digger board get with the times unc
im going for round 2 tomorrow and might even be cheeky enough for round 3 on wednesday
Ben Affleck has joined the side of Digger
>>223716666no
Not that it needs to be said, but I’ll say it anyway; Digger is the white heterosexual male’s Obsession.
>>223716151That mixed with Curtis apologizing to the actor who played the Vice President. Movie has stretches of genuine comedy gold in it.
damn bros. all your shilling got to me and i want to see it now. my local theater pulled it though. the next closest one is too far because i dont wanna pay uber 35 bucks for a round trip on top of movie prices
>>223716975If I can be a actual shill Aspects of this movie will not translate when watching at home, I mean this in both a spectacle sense (when the soundtrack kicks in for the parliament opening) and one that works in the meta satire of the movie. Your direct involvement as a audience member. I saw it twice in theaters, once for the kino, and then a second time knowing I probably see it like that again in my life.
>>223717196probably never*Digger is a good movie See it in theaters because that is 100% the way to probably experience it
>>223717196yeah i know. that doesnt change the situation. can you give me a ride to the theater
>>223691666I watched this yesterday, it was great, and so obvious why the epstine class killed it at the box office. It fully exposes what they have done to our world.
first film in history to have nature sounds for the end credits. KINO
>>223700397I think he represents nuance. Bad people are capable of doing good things. He legit respected Curtis and saw some of his uncle in him, so he wanted to help him.>>223701009I think its a half truth, and part of the message that we are part of the problem. Sure, Digger is a massive asshole and trying to weasel his way out, but he's not wrong in that we are all hypocrites too.
>>223717277i'd send you money to get a ride to watch itwe will digg no matter what. drop your cashapp
>>223712235YOU ARE GONNA DIG THIS MOVIE OUT DIGGER, NOW GET DIGGIN
>>223711299I love that because of what happened to his family he basically starts a cyber security spying company lmao
>>223717485>first film in history to have nature sounds for the end credits. KINOI don't think this is true
>>223717778Well im ignorant so I decided its true, and maybe it is. I dont know.
>>223706900>Is this the new Don't Look Up?it is as devastating to the Epstein class as dont look up was, and is being artificially made to fail just like it to
>>223717605So many great lines, not to mention full-on monologues.
>>223706583Underrated post"But they said it wasn't kino...how could it be kino?"
my favorite part was a little detail at the endyou see Elons cyber faggot truck and some open AI androids in a garbage heap, like the people just killed the CEOs and forgot about them and moved on to fixing other stuff.
>>223718052yeah and John Goodman was wonderful as usual
>>223717196Good point, felt like when they watched Judy hit Europe, all generals and Ganesh and Goodman in a fucking GOLDEN wheelchair, it was like a mirror to us in the theater watching the movie. Safe while the world burns. Also why has no one addressed the stage/play aspect of the movie, in regard to the famous quote about world politics and wars (over oil) "The whole world is a stage"?
the set pieces in this movie were fucking beautiful, especially the spinning stages. how derelict they became in fossil fools until you realize their world is also falling apart, the audience is drenched as that fancy theater plemmons bought still isn't enough to withstand the rain and floods, and curtis's dressing room was also leaky. i only watched this movie because i saw yaoi of it on twitter but i'm glad i saw it in theaters. thank you japanese fujos, otherwise the marketing totally missed me other than that ad early on with gorillaz music
>ya either get busy diggin' or ya get busy dyin'What did Brooks mean by this?
I boughted.
