Dear People Who Talk on Their Phone in Public Using Speaker Phone,

What the hell is *wrong* with you?

Sincerely,
The General Public

@EdCates these are same people that put the bottom of their phone horizontal to their ear and talk (on speaker phone)

At what point did society collectively forget how to use a phone properly?

This is one of the things that really annoys me

https://sometimesigetbored.co.uk/iron-lung-2026-review/

#CineMastodon #IronLung #Movie #Movies #NowWatching #Review

A movie poster or promotional graphic for "Iron Lung" featuring a dark, claustrophobic aesthetic. The title "IRON LUNG" is displayed in large, distressed red block letters across the center. Above the text, a three-out-of-five star rating is shown, with three stars glowing yellow and two greyed out. The background is dominated by the terrifying close-up of a creature's open maw, showing rows of long, sharp, needle-like metallic teeth set against a dark, wet-looking biological texture. The framing suggests the title is being swallowed or surrounded by these jaws, evoking a sense of horror and entrapment.

@jonah reviewers, youtubers, podcasters etc wanting to create traffic by ripping it apart for content

I see no other reason to watch a propaganda piece about a gold-digger at best, Trumps Russian handler at worst, and friend of Epstein

@gamingonlinux You might be interested in giving this petition opposing the motion a signal boost: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/754408

@zorrobandito my experience is almost full theatres but I do have hope because there are good, intelligent films being recognised amongst the big budget, low attention span, slop but it does feel like studios are getting lazy with bland sequels & low complexity films

What scares me is Netflix buying/influencing studios to expand their model

I often see a few lit up screens in showings. Usually WhatsApp or TikTok

These people likely paid silly money to see a film only to ignore most of it

Made by Committee becomes Designed by Algorithm?

I'll admit that I was only peripherally aware of this, though I watch a lot of movies, perhaps because I often go to the cinema.

Some damning analysis of streamer 'content' using the Damon/Affleck project 'The Rip' as Exhibit A.

Do you watch a movie while simultaneously scrolling on your phone? If so, why?

"The Rip" is a new low for Netflix's mindless filmmaking - Salon.com https://share.google/UF9x0Tw98WVMmVStl

#filmsofmastodon #film #movies #streaming #netflix

@zorrobandito it's a bad shift toward pandering to the terminally online who cannot be away from their phones for more than a few mins (or seconds)

I mostly enjoyed the film but picked up on the repetition & limp second act to its detriment

If someone can't put their phone down to watch a film, that's their problem & studios shouldn't pander to them

I watch a lot of theatrical releases & I've noticed even in the cinema there are people tapping away on phones

I fear for the future of cinema

The Rip 2026 Review

Overall – 3/5 – Not a bad film but it makes me fear for cinema
