badposting is a comm where you post badly


This is not a !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net alternative. This is not a !memes@hexbear.net alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.

Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?


Rules:

  1. Do not post good posts.
    • Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
    • Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
  2. This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
  3. This rule intentionally left blank.
  4. If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.

Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo

They really need to stop doing the ”ironic epic trailer” thing, it's super played out. You know, when the narration goes like ”This summer, there's only one who can save the world…”, record scratch, it's a cute cartoon dog.

Stop putting random pop songs in movies too, it's super lazy.

Soundtracks should be epic orchestras by rock bands.

personally im really done with irony and quippy soy banter.

you know when someone makes an epic speech and some guy is like "Well that was corny!" yeah i know you suck at writing but highlighting how shit it is, isnt going to make it better. please just stand behind your stuff or no one will.

On the other hand, the next Star Wars movie should start with Johnny Starwars saying ”I'm so sick of all these Star Wars”, turning to the camera, and winking.

That overused quippy banter shit has made me curious for the (inevitably terrible) Elden Ring film that got announced.

Your average movie writer wouldn't be able to just let the visual humour of something like the warrior jars just be, they don't trust the audience enough for that. So either there'll be "well that just happened"-ass quips when any of the goofier elements of the setting pop up, or they excise all of that and just make it as dour and joyless and grimdark as possible.

Things that need to stop being in movie trailers:

  • the whole dambed movie

Stomp clap hey in general should already die

[–] Esoteir@hexbear.net 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

at this point I just want them to stop spoiling the plot of the entire movie in trailers

angery

going to the theater before the showtime now basically spoils the entirety of every movie coming out in the next six months

So glad I always end up being slightly late and missing the previews

[–] Meltyheartlove@hexbear.net 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I find those kind of trailers hard to watch. I thought that trend would be over by now.

[–] PKMKII@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago (2 children)

In addition to the random pop or classic rock song with little to no connection to the movie, double so any “epic” version of the same. Taking the same cliched song but drenching it in space reverb and a little delay with a string section bolted on does not uncliche it.

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

....or slowing down a song with an acoustic guitar to make it oOOOooooOhhHhhH scAaRrrry

[–] PKMKII@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

That always ends up sounding like a bad attempt at vaporwave to me.

[–] KnownUnknownKnower@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

This shit dinged Paradise for me, I get he has bad music taste, I don’t need two versions of the same song in each episode, one regular and one epic for the credits.

Being all downhill after episode one didn’t help either but that’s unrelated

Closely associated to the BWAA in movie trailers, super-short clips that cut to black/silence between each one. It's so played out at this point

[–] mendiCAN@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago

with the stomp/door slam sound aaaaaaaa

U.S. trailers of international arthouse films be like:

  • As many unrelated shots they can gather together that don't have any pesky non-English dialogue
  • Fade to black
  • A bunch of illegible film festival logos crowd the screen
  • Shots of what may be a couple laughing together
  • Fade to black
  • ". . . Charming!" - the New York Times

[–] Waldoz53@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

went to theater and they played a trailer for a dark comedy movie that look really interesting...except they literally spoiled every beat in the movie. normally im like eh i dont think trailers spoil movies that much, but this one was actually spoiling everything. why are you showing this??? is there no trust in the audience? lol

[–] LaughingLion@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

Asian shows are so bad at this. The west is doing child's play in this regard.

After the revolution, every overexposed actor will be sent to Gulag

Actors will have to balance their work schedule to avoid becoming cringe

Any scriptwriter who makes marvel cringe dialogue will also get extended sentences
