What Will Millennial Movies Be Like?

[Sonikku]

A bunch of old, stuffy, oily, money grubbing businessman attempt to oppress a fresh generation of employees bristling with talent and potential with all kinds of bothersome menial work and only one politically correct black female feminist can show them the error of their ways. Gangnam style.

Also she has a partner that's a talking pie.

I've heard about a dozen different timeframes for when millennials are. I'm 33, born in 1983, graduated in 2001, and I never heard the term Millennial referring to a person until around 2010. I was GenX, 90's twerps were GenY's, and anyone after 00's were Millennials. Now I see/hear people saying shit like 'anyone born after 1975 is a Millennial because they know how to program a VCR' and shit.

To answer the OP's question, they'll be the same rehashed garbage we've seen for the last 50 years, with a handful of works of art sprinkled in-between. There will probably be a shift from theaters to direct release, due to rising theater prices and lowering theater-quality home equipment (4k TV ubiquity, 8k >100'' for many/most, 3d/VR/whatever).

Milennials are also known as Generation Y. It's the same thing. The term was coined in the 80s.
Essentially, people who grew up around y2k.

Which eventually just translates to 'anyone not yet retired' (citing that link, with some considering Millennials starting at 1976, so fucking 40-year-olds).

A crowd will gather in a theater and spend two hours projecting selfies on the screen.

LOL. This is probably pretty accurate. Is the whole attention craving, look-at-me thing due to them being told they're special snowflakes when they were younger or something?

I'm guessing a lot like the netflix shows. Anyone else watching these notice almost every series has dudes making out/screwing. I don't care if theres gay dudes in my tv shows but I'd rather not have to watch dudes make out.

I think it's going to be some cross between David Fincher and Woody Allen. A lot of social perspective movies with a heavy does of awkward reflection. Visually I think you'll see a lot more "found footage" style movies and more movies done like "A Scanner Darkly".

Not a bad guess. I am pretty sure by then people will talk about Mulholland Drive the same way people talked about Citizen Kane the second half of the 20th century ("best movie ever"). Also I could see that generation reject the blockbuster Hollywood model for its blatant marking saturation and appeal to the lowest common denominator. It could be a New Hollywood era like we had in the 1970s before Jaws and Star Wars made modern big budget movies what they are.

I don't know, but I have to think that movies couldn't possibly get much worse than the garbage being churned out today. Maybe the pendulum will swing the other way and we'll begin to see more intelligent movie making again. But probably not.

If I had to guess, the good stuff will be like first person VR version of San Junipero from season 3 of Black Mirror. And the stars will be people who do the best job of making people want to spend time with them.

Like there's some photographer on Instagram that posts pics of some very attractive woman at different places around the world, and I think most of the pics its like she's leading them (so they have their hand reached out and we just see her from the back).

Which eventually just translates to 'anyone not yet retired' (citing that link, with some considering Millennials starting at 1976, so fucking 40-year-olds).

Which is why the whole generation demographic thing is stupid bullshit. Why ANYONE buys into fuckwit ad/marketing people's definition of people is just baffling.

"I'm totally ok with gay people, just so long as they keep all their gay shit away from me and out of my sight!"

I just discovered I am a Genaration X'er.

I thought that shit was for younger people.

I just de-aged. Nice.

Was my grammar that bad you had to re-word it for me?

Movie critics won't be allowed to post negative reviews of any movie for any reason, to avoid hurting feelings.

No joke, watched The Minimalists er whatever last night on Netflix. That, OP.
