2022 movie delay thread, Top Gun 2 and Jackass 4 pushed to 2022 - Place bets for next delay

@Vyse Inglebard I'm convinced most entertainment industries are basically in this shitty slope. You think movies was bad? Vidya games, cartoons, music, even the fucking anime industry when most Korean Manhwa and Gookshit are top priority over original ideas. The COOF made development harder for all industries period and now they're suffering a blowback because people can no longer tolerate garbage media thanks to indoor isolation making them use more time in the internet. The Films industry are just the obvious scapegoat since they rely most on physical contact.

I'm hoping this finally crashes majority of the entertainment industry so that something actually new can rise among the shitty ashes of old.

Apparently there's some that go as autistically far as bringing people in to flick flashlights around to catch people not masking up like they're stopping those pesky piraters.

Also, can corroborate on the almost empty theatres. I've been on a Flashback Cinema spree recently (yeah, yeah, I know, watch it from home - but there's something about watching these classic movies on the big screen that's - pardon the term here - magical). Only one or two other people were there with me every movie I went to - these were pretty big movies, too. Jaws, The Goonies, Back to the Future. Maybe it was the time - I only ever had time for the 2PM showing - but still. Pretty odd.

I'm hoping this finally crashes majority of the entertainment industry so that something actually new can rise among the shitty ashes of old.

Unfortunately, it'll probably just burn down, and stay as a burnt pile of ash, given how it seems like the entertainment industry is intentionally trying to kill itself off with shitty stories. Also, Government regulations, i.e. the Taliban banning music again, doesn't help.

I just want 20th century media properly preserved. That's all I care about. Everything else can collapse as far as I care.

Sadly too late for that, list of lost movies

BFI has a list of 75 movies they are trying to find. Honestly, British Film Institute and Martin Scorsese's The Film Foundation, are godsends for saving movies, also a few randos doing the same for cult movies.

However even movies you can buy, always a risk it has been fucked up with shit like digital noise reduction. Big movies like Terminator 2 and even many of the Disney movies have been fucked up due to that.

In the case of Predator, it did get a great 4k blu ray which fixed the issue for the remastered blu ray.

Also, TV stations, used to "delete" old programing, BBC alone has many lost episodes of shows like Doctor Who, Steptoe and Son, Till Death Us Do Part, and Dad's Army. America has lost episodes of stuff like Sesame Street.

Also movies, studios refuse to put out, Such as Nothing Lasts Forever a movie that stars Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Sam Jaffe and Mort Sahl. Only ever been shown on TCM in 2015 in American, did show in a few European counties in the 90s. It's not that the movie is bad or anything and both Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd have said they would be happy to do DVD extras for the movie.

I don't care how good they say it is, I still think Matrix Resurrections will get bumped to next year just to spite HBO Max. I also remain unconvinced it'll be good, since (it sounds like) they're telling the same story from the first movie. Did the troon forget all the story they had from The Matrix Online?
