The Backrooms movie by A24 earned $81 million on opening weekend this weekend, and it all started with a random post on /x/. Lol.
>>
>>42478799
So is the movie any good? I heard the main character is a black guy.
>>
>>42478810
It had a 90% on Rottentomatoes and a 75% user score with most people saying it is good and some saying it is a waste of time dogshit. The black guy is only in it because Hollywood laws. Lol.
>>
>>42478810
Any nice BBC scenes with a classically beautiful white woman?
>>
>>42478826
The black guy is actually a great actor. I would say he's the reason , along with the females protagonist, why the movie works. The acting is correct, not over the top, not "hollywood coded". It is good.
>>42478842
There's a picture of him with his ex couple and she's white.

I made "the backrooms" concept into a movie, this version is from 2014 but the original and the script is circa 2011;

No. In short, it's a well-crafted shit sandwich. It starts okay with a slow buildup that fleshes out the characters for a bit and then the Backrooms content starts. It doesn't take long for forced le Hollywood action to begin and then shit hits the fan but whatever, right? as long as we get liminal survival. But when a certain character goes in to the Backrooms the viewers will think to to themselves "oh boy everyone's in the Backrooms now, here we go!" and then the movie shits the bed. Someone suddenly acts way out of character (heel-turn tier) and unrealistic things happen making all the buildup a pointless waste of time simply so the studio could shove forced "horror" cringe in. The movie is a well-put-together sandwich with a thin layer of shit in the middle that ruins the whole thing. Literally Youtube vids, even from this same guy, are better Backrooms content.

The movie would still be mediocre even if the main character was white. It wasn't as bad as I was expecting, but it still wasn't worth going to the theater for.
>>
>>42478810
it turns into generic horseshit
>>
>>42479254
i share this anon's opinion. it starts reasonably well enough, even if slow. it drops the two main character's backstory but it feels redundant and has the whole generic "le mental illness/trauma" theme which was completely unnecessary and out of place. the liminal content is good but feels short given the movie's length. the latter half of the movie drops the ball completely. "the backrooms" wasn't the main star in the backrooms.

>>42478888
It matters deeply to me because the negroid phenotype isn't aesthetically pleasing to look at. It's probably the nr 1 reason why i'm "racist", mr wannabe racist.

I know nobody will believe this but I’m the OP of the /x/ thread (https://archive.4plebs.org/x/thread/22672919/) where some anon replied to my OP image (it was floating around on my hard drive after downloading it from some earlier thread) with the og creepypasta that picked up steam. No, I have absolutely no proof of this. I’m stacking shelves in a supermarket while people are making blockbusters based on an internet phenomenon that happened all because i got bored one night 7 years and deciding to make a spooky picture thread. Call me an overdramatic faggot, but I’m posting this here because I don’t have anyone to tell irl and nobody would believe me anyway, but I need to tell it to someone. This is, without exaggeration, probably the most significant contribution I'll ever make to the world and I didn't even really do shit. Not a day goes by where I don’t think about this fact.

Yup. It felt like little noteworthy happened. Certain deaths happened way too fast, the insanity part was goofy, so was the Entity. It would have been much better if those certain deaths either never occurred or if it was later in the film. The table scene needed to be cut too. Better needed Entity in my opinion.

It would have been an amazing movie if the table scene and the see painting/get choked scene before it was removed in favor of survival-horror in liminal space. As anon said,
>the liminal content is good but feels short given the movie's length/"the backrooms" wasn't the main star in the backrooms
When it was just the black guy it was fine but then "I'll get proof" and he pointlessly brings his whole squad in to go exploring down a random hole that just so happens to have a bad thing. That's... not what the movie just said he was going back there to do and now that I think about it, why did he only bring the shrink a map in the first place instead of a recording or any other proof of the most unbelievable find imaginable? And wow, what are the odds that this confusing chain of actions allows for viewers to see some Hollywood horrorslop so their ADHD addled minds don't get bored!

I'm just spitballing here but once all the intended actors were inside they could have just made the exit mysteriously disappear or something if the stakes weren't high enough. If an entity (or multiple) had to exist put them in the background or make them part of the environment subtly observing or stalking the oblivious explorers to maximize the creepiness and uncertainty for the viewers. I assume a different writer (or whatever) changed the direction of the movie for the table scene (and after) to appeal to MoDeRn AuDiEnCeS.

Synchronicity. I watched a review of Backrooms and vaguely recognized the black guy. Then YouTube has been pushing the Firefly theme song so I listened to it again. It's good as it ever was. Then the comments on YouTube were saying "we're back." So I googled Firefly news and apparently
1. There's a Firefly animated series in the works
And
2. The Serenity movie was just added to Amazon Prime and is in the top 10 or some shit.
I clicked on an article about Serenity and then bam, it clicked.
The Negro from Serenity is in the Backrooms movie.
Nice tight little circle. That is all. I have no plans to see Backrooms because I don't watch any of the slop they put out anymore. I would've watched the stupid Grogu movie after finding an illegal stream of it, but then Pedro Fuckboy kissed Faggot Colbert on TV and it's my Pedro fatigue and Colbert fatigue, it was just the straw that broke the camel's back for me. Just shut the fuck up and talk about Star Wars you creepy faggot who touches women inappropriately and claims it's Autism or whatever.
So no, I've seen basically every Star Wars content, but I'll just skip Grogu because fuck it.
I'll probably skip the Firefly cartoon too whenever it comes out because I'm sure it'll be grating unfunny woke TDS.
Chuds forever.

I designed the flag for my small town so I could win $100 when I was 15 and then they made me walk in the parade and had a ceremony for me. This was the most significant contribution I will ever make to the world and they never even bothered flying the flag anyway.
But I got me my $100 and probably bought a Blink 182 or RHCP CD or something with it.

The whole point of Backrooms having this scary vibe, is not a "le epick monster right behind the corner ohh noees!" but due to being a sole person, who for some unknown reason finds themselves in a neverending sea of liminal spaces. At certain points, one finds traces of someone or "something" being there too, but at no point does that person sees or hears anything. To add, they don't feel the need to eat, drink or sleep, so dying out of exhaustion is not an option either. That makes it even worse, because not even death can save you from this, seemingly endless, environment. The only way you can get out of there is find a way out, problem being you have no idea how to do so. That is the original idea behind the creepiness of the setting. Including more people, retaded Hollywood tropes and the worst choice imaginable, which is adding some kind of a "monster", just turns it into another C-tier horror flick. Typical slop.
>>
>>42479692
probably bullshit but I believe you.
now we just need to find the guy who wrote the copypasta.
>>
>>42481215
Good points, but adding the monster wasn't a thing that this movie "created". It was added first by all of the other creators who expanded that one image into that liminal world of videos. I've never liked that stupid nonsensical "wiry" monster from the kane pixels videos. The monster in the movie is a much better concept, as the material version of your own evil. Wich has a real logic behind, proven in the online world. Specially obvious in anonymous environments like this site. A person with total freedom, and no rules or accountability for his actions and behavior, usually becomes a sort of tyrannical evil monster, who berates, mocks, hurts and impose his impunity on others. You may say: "that's not me.. that's not everyone", well exactly, but, you know that kind of evil ones exist out there in the infinite boards.
I liked the movie, it does a correct job in every aspect. More than a good enough job for what is worth, wich is just another silly shitpost in 4chan, made into a fucking A list movie. It's absolutely incredible that they managed to come up with this, and land on their feet lmao.

The backrooms never needed monsters to be visceral to begin with. The entire horror aspect of the backrooms is about getting lost in a nonsensical and endless maze where the serene and claustrophobic atmosphere makes you slowly question your own sanity in form of a stalker that can never proven to be real. Nothing is more frightening than the unknown.
Once it takes on a goofy material form and becomes defeatable like in that stupid movie you love so much it actually ceases to be horror entirely.
>>
>>42481405
What you want it to be is much more risky and implausible to be written into a movie. I don't say that your version of the backrooms wouldn't work, or that it would be impossible to do "right". But, what they did with this movie, works in its own sense. What the movie implies is that in your own house, where you live your life, through the years of accumulating infinite memories and time, if you get clipped into your own existing local environment, it is unavoidable to stumble unto your own self, residual spirit, or actions. You may, and you should, eventually stumble into your own violence and anger if you ever experienced it in the place you spend your time living. Imagine seeing yourself doing the things you did all through out your life. That's equally terrifying. It's another approach, and it worked for them.

Cringe post but only because i noped out of Disney Wars and multiracial propaganda (called woke now i guess) a decade ago. I'm not sure how anyone could stomach the A New Hope knock-off by Jew Jew Abrams and the other filth that followed. Star wars was long dead to me.
