>Lionsgate is holding a screening of ‘THE LONG WALK’ where you need to walk on a treadmill faster than 3MPH for the whole movie
>If you stop, you’ll be escorted out of the theater and you can’t watch the rest of the film

Would you watch a movie like this?

Maybe if it wasn't some shit adaption of a Stephen King novel

the long breaking

>>214236379 (OP)
It would be kino if lionsgate had a gate enclosing a pen of lions that opens up when you don’t walk fast enough

>>214236419
Yeah I’ve never understood why midwits like his writing so much. It’s young adult fiction with child death in it. It’s horseshit. He’s not Shakespeare or even Dean Koontz

>>214236379 (OP)
Based desu.
I live in one of the only walkable parts of Houston. When people from out of the loop make their monthly pilgrimage to civilization, they stick out miserably. Suburbistanis develop this bizarre walking pattern, closer to a penguins waddle, even when they are thin. It truly is strange and I can only assume their developmentally retarded gait is why they all get mobility issues by their 50s.
We should do this at all movies so I don't get stuck behind two ham planets taking the entire sidewalk dawdling at a literal snails pace while I'm trying to get somewhere. 3mph is a brisk walking pace but perfectly sustainable for an hour or two.

>>214236379 (OP)
I like how the movie is set in a fascist authoritarian hellhole version of America but there’s still an overly diverse group of people doing the walking. They were all white in the book. Know how I know? Because Stephen King (like all Americans that didn’t grow up around blacks) NEVER misses an opportunity to talk about how black one of his characters is.

>>214236507
>Houston
Fat people isn’t your problem in Houston homie.

>>214236487
You don't have to like Stephen King to recognize that he legitimized horror novels as mainstream. Dean Koontz literally owes his career to King. Similarly, you don't have to like Harry Potter to recognize the impact it had YA fantasy, or Twilight on teen romance, et cetera.

But understand that refusing to recognize something as good purely because you don't like it is a sign of autism.

>>214236379 (OP)
i would prefer to watch good movies instead of desperately gimmicky ones

american squid games

Let me guess, King read about the Bataan death march and then made it into a story about how America is such an evil nazi country, and since its King im going to further guess that there is also a Trump stand in behind it all.

If it were good you wouldnt have to tell people it's good or that they have to like it, they just would if it was.

>>214236576
>if you don’t like what I like you have autism
Go fuck yourself.

>>214236576
Stephen King copied his entire writing style from Richard Matheson. He’s admitted as much. Also before he started sucking the progressive cock he was widely regarded as a shit author that wrote trash fiction. I was there.

>>214236436
yes, we know, you say this every day

>>214236537
You can be authoritarian and tolerant of minorities, or at least feature quite a bit of diversity in your population, especially when it comes to deadly competition
Also the genetic make up of the American population in a dystopia in a future that starts from today is going to be way more diverse from one imagined in the late 70s. Like it or not white people will be a minority in the span of a generation

>>214236379 (OP)
>"We're gonna kill you if you stop walking."
>"Why?"
This is why I hate most dystopian movies.
Every premise is based on being retarded.

>>214236990
To keep the population in fear and docility, and to eliminate criminals or undesirables. State brutality is nothing new anon, the originality here is that the state made an entertainment of it.

>>214236537
>Set in a dystopia hellhole
>Population is mutted
Checks out t b h

>>214237319
>and to eliminate criminals or undesirables
But there were plenty of shitskins in the movie trailer.

>>214237347
I didn't say the writers were smart.

>>214237322
this is wrong though. In a future, post-racial society, there wouldn't be distinct races, there would be one single race, the amalgam of the distinct races they mashed together. Everyone would be the color of dog shit that's been out in the sun for a three days and have big negro lips and black Asian eyes along with black hair - global race

>>214236990
They don’t really reference it in the trailer but in the book the winner becomes ultra wealthy.

>>214236558
Don't worry he's mexican himself

>>214237479
Oh nonsense. This fantasy is popular among retards but it’s just not so. People stick to their own. A fact that’s acceptable to everyone except white women.

>>214237570
Sukdeep, you need to improve your literacy skills. I said POST-RACIAL. That means that people are no longer biasing race when selecting who to have children with. In a society where 'racism' has been truly eradicated, all the races would blend together

>>214237735
Who said anything about the movie taking place in a post racial society?

>>214236379 (OP)
>walk on a treadmill faster than 3MPH
... so you just walk normally for 105 minutes?
Where is the challenge?
Or you are saying you still need to buy a ticket, which in turn makes it a useless gimmick

>>214236990
>t zoomer too young to know what game shows are
I bet if someone would told you about The Running Man, you would be equally confused.

THERE IS A FUCK-HUGE PRIZE FOR THE WINNER, YOU DUMB SHIT. Which is big enough to risk your life, because the alternative is living as a poorfag in a dystopian hellhole.
Were you always this fucking dumb, or it's the result of being dropped by your mom 15 times in a row after you were born?

>>214237570
Don't get your post, white women mix the least if your trying to say otherwise

>>214237820
Yeah what if all theatres were full of treadmills, and you could get in for free if you run the treadmill to generate electricity for the theatre to sell?
It's brilliant

WE KNOW

>>214238106
At least that would work in the context of marketing this movie.

What's this movie's plot, being chased by racist whites?

>>214237570
>t. incel mad that he'll die kissless

>>214236379 (OP)
i read the book this movie is based on, it was pretty good but the ending was bad (like all stephen king related things)

i wonder if they'll change it

tldr

>>214238178
Bunch of people participate in a death walk, whoever survives as the last one, wins the big payday, whoever stops is killed, if you try anything else than walking, you are shot and if you die from exhaustion that's your problem

>>214237479

3 miles per hour is really fucking slow actually. If you aren't old and can't do that literally all day you have a problem

>>214236379 (OP)
>American Challenge: impossible

I liked Roadwork way more, anyway.

Its kind of crazy that simply walking is such a nightmare to americans that they make horror films about it. They should make a sequel about who can stay the longest on a subway.

I would absolutely go to one of these. As a recovering fatty who loves the book, this looks like a lot of fun.

>>214236487
>calls others midwits while posting the quintessential midwit take
a tale as old as time

>>214236597
The book was written in 1979, so no.

>>214237891
Dont ruin his fantasy. They are being fed that lie everyday.

>>214236537
There was a black kid in the book and the asshole kid called him a dumb nigger for wearing chuck tailors. Turns out asshole was right

I wonder how much violence this will lead to if they try it on a large scale.

>disability person shows up

I can guarantee this is a very handpicked screening so they avoid getting sued. Magically, the movie will get rave reviews after the screening, but end up with average or worse when it gets a wide release. You know, almost like this is a promotional stunt designed to invite select industry plants and pump up the movie's buzz.

>>214238403
It's a pretty hard concept to fuck up. Turning some random faggots in a modern day walk black isn't the same as turning Roland of Gilead black

>>214237532
So it's the Running Man, but a slow, bone-chilling, atmospheric jumpscare-free horror that will churn your stomach on gloomy nights?

>>214238515
Yeah and in the end perhaps the real horror is mental illness and family trauma

>>214236990
Le Stephen King spookiness

>>214238469
Well, we'll see. If it has somewhat decent reviews I might actually watch it as well.

>>214236379 (OP)
You're clearly part of the movie's marketing team, since you keep posting about it. Fuck off.

>>214236379 (OP)
That is very slow walking speed. The only issue here is for fat Amerilards.

>>214236379 (OP)
First Trumpet restricted the EBT to purchase cola and candies.
And now forcing them to walk.

This is worse than a Holocaust.

Movies are dying I imagine this is something some deranged boomer in a boardroom meeting ptiched to get people back

>>214238779
Movie's never dying.
Hollywood just makeing the most boring and the most wokes one that noone want to see, because they experience it firsthand in every day.

>>214236379 (OP)
How different would America be if all entertainment products were tied to treadmills like this?

>>214236558
Nah fat people are def the problem. Strong correlation between public chimp outs and BMI, regardless of race. The constant feeling of vague discomfort makes people irritable, then when they come to nice parts of the loop and are faced with attractive, successful people they break down in anger at their poor life choices. Kayleigh from Katy is just as likeable to do this as Shaniqua from Sunnyside.

>>214236379 (OP)
It's a neat meme experience but what about the fucking smell

>>214237319
>To keep the population in fear and docility, and to eliminate criminals or undesirables
A walking contest is probably the dumbest way to do those things

>>214238362
seethe harder, midwit

>>214237319
Didn't they already do this story with Running Man?

1. It's for influencers only
2. I would try it
3. I'd likely fail

>>214236379 (OP)
Is such a thing even possible?

>>214238106
Like those restaurant challenges where if you finish the meal you get it for free, except these would actually benefit people.

Hundreds of years before that retard was born people were reading penny dreadfuls: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penny_dreadful
The idea that he normalized horror is fucking ridiculous. Even Frankenstein and Dracula were some of the most famous books ever written far before that retard was born.

>>214238341
In my next horror book, "too cared to cry", the characters explore a horrific setting where buildings are older than the invention of drywall, and some mysterious entity is just going around giving everyone health"care"... just from tax dollars.
