>Excuse me. Can you excuse us for a second please? Can I see you for a second, please? Excuse us.
>I couldn't help but hear you got a little bit of a dilemma there. We got a crisis ourselves.
>Allow me to introduce myself. Gus Polinski. How are you? Polka King of the Midwest? The Kenosha Kickers?
> That's okay. I thought you might have recognized-- anyways. I had a few hits a few years ago. That's why I thought-- "Polka, Polka, Polka"? Polka, polka, polka. No? "Twin Legs Polka" "Yamahoozie Polka," a.k.a. "Kiss Me Polka"? "Polka Twist"?

It's network for me.
You have meddled with the primal forces of nature!

It's because stuff is so split up now that you can't just talk about some random thing you watched, read or played.

That is not quotable. John Candy just delivered the lines well.

mumblecore "naturalistic" dialogue

I love quoting frank booth from blue velvet.

Not even american and this movie makes me sad for what that country has become

All media and culture is atomized to shit. When I was growing up, everyone saw all the same movies and all the same TV shows and listened to all the same music on the radio. Even if you didn't watch every movie, every TV show, or listen to all the music, you were still AWARE of it through cultural osmosis from everyone around you talking about it. You could make small talk with anyone by just asking if they heard the latest singles on the radio, if they're watching that new show, or if they saw the latest movie. Odds were that you'd find things you both have experienced and can talk about. These days it doesn't work like that, everyone is on a dozen different streaming platforms watching hundreds of different things, people listen to all their music through personally curated Spotify playlists, hardly anyone really goes to the movies and even if they do there's way too many to keep up with. It's difficult to find common ground with people now, everyone lives in their own bubble online. That's why everyone talks so much about politics, it's the one constant everyone can keep up with and talk about, but then those political discussions end up being unproductive and polarizing so you have to avoid that, too. There is no real cultural zeitgeist in entertainment any more, only in current world news events which are like stepping on a landmine.

Very true. Sports is pretty much the only last refuge. But I can only give so much of a shit when mediocre bum players who never win anything are paid $300m salaries and sit out half their games to rest.
For movies, having original films written by fresh voices is essential to creating anything that has cultural resonance into the future. IP-SLOP #7 is guaranteed to be disposable and forgotten almost immediately upon release. Hollywood has to buy scripts from talented nobody outsiders and let them cook in the mid-budget range like they did in the 70s and 90s, or the entire ship will sink under the weight of $200m Lego movies and just be consumed by the tech corp overlords for good.

The NBA salaries aren't sustainable. It's a joke.

writers are afraid of saying anything too edgy or weird so they retreat to a universally accepted style that everyone can understand and no one will be offended by

It's Full Metal Jacket for me.

You know the one.
