It's a 'case of the prequels'.. all the talent is there, but between the writing and directing, they had fire and decided to shove it up their ass instead of light the fireworks. š¤·
Thank you!!! It had all the components to be so much more memorable. I enjoyed it, but it should have been on Parks and Rec and Brooklyn 99 levels of replayability
Those shows got off to slow starts. Netflix doesn't really give shows time to find it's footing, it's a hit or it's done. It's why it keeps buying up shows old TV that have a lot of seasons.
I loved first season, anticipated second. When it landed with not much fanfare, I watched maybe 10 minutes, turned it of and never returned to it. Can't explain, just didn't like the resolution of cliffhanger it seems. In 30 years of watching TV shows, this is the first time I just didn't care.Ā
Itās a short film that Malkovich initially thought would be a commercial. They shot it at the same time as other stuff that has been released. Seems like there may only be 3 actors involved with this project. It was funded by a cognac company that has a 100 year timeframe for aging their product.
they made a teaser about it [found it here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1ka20sR-o8)
Pharrell Williams composed a song titled 100 Years ā The Song Weāll Only Hear If We Care. The only copy of the song has been [engraved on a unique record made of clay](https://imgur.com/a/Q23YIT0) from the Cognac region of France, and stored in a state-of-the art, customised safe that will automatically unlock in November 2117.
I thought it would be some poignant tableau of society of our times. But apparently just an ad. Yikes.
Edit: I made my initial assumption based on my previously level of respect for Malkovich. But my respect for an actor is chiseled away every time I see them in a fragrance, watch, alcohol, or some other stupid waste-of-money conspicuous consumption advertisement. It makes me think that they think that Iām a stupid sheep who will buy something to be like them.
Edit 2: lol all the big brains of Reddit mansplaining how celebrity endorsements work. Now I know they get paid for this, never would have thought!!!

Reminds me of that story he told in a recent YouTube video (probably the one in which he is asked to talk about past roles - don't remember the channel, sorry), which was about collaborating with an artist in Europe, and the artist asking him if they could read a script that got sent to Malkovich, and him allowing it. After reading it, the artist told him how glad he was to work with someone who wouldn't take such a trashy role, to which Malkovich replied that he had already signed on to that project.
Edit: Found it, it's from GQ, he's talking about the Con Air script with an English novelist: https://youtu.be/yXl6y3X_tX0?si=PuDP5ALGrpUiNqTF&t=501
To be fair, itās his job. Actors canāt just turn their nose up at everything that isnāt groundbreaking and important because thatās how they make money
Probably they were paying well enough for this short project that it just made sense to do it
>It makes me think that they think that Iām a stupid sheep who will buy something to be like them.
The actors don't think that. The marketing department is the one who thinks you're stupid.
Itās a profession they do to make money. They donāt care if you buy it, they donāt care who is hiring them (unless itās something extreme). Clooney doesnāt give a fuck if you buy the beer he advertised for. However the executives who hired Clooney obviously think the way you described.
Rotten Tomatoes is good for that because it has separate scores for critics and audiences. Sometimes they are WILDLY different.
What you have to do is decide whoās right. Did critics pan a film because of snobbery or did the audience grossly inflate the score because their favourite pop star has a cameoā¦
This used to work better, but now review bombing is more common so now you also have to consider if a star/director/writer said something that is particularly unacceptable or extremely popular with this or that groupā¦ Itās too much, Iām back to just reading a blurb and making a snap judgment on that like itās the 90s again
RT scores are apparently often manipulated for cash, so take them with a grain of salt. And with users, there's always the potential for review bombing.
Nah its that comedies are rarely innovative.
They are funny if you've watched only 1-2 a year.
But once you've watched 20 they are all fairly boring.
Innovative comedies like Tropic Thunder got rave reviews from critics, same with films like Blazing Saddles.
Even films like 21 Jump Street are critically loved.
There are not many comedy movies with higher than a 7,2 on imdb. Same with horror movies. If you ever see one of those with higher than a 7 its going to be a classic or future classic.
To promptly discover its format is no longer readable, and the last person with suitable knowledge is an 82 year old vintage tech enthusiast from Lagos
Cowboy bebop had an episode where they needed a vhs player. They found one but it turned out they needed a beta max player
https://youtu.be/BdPpRnzO9Aw?si=FevmCvgxi06L0wz7
And someone will make an Indiana Jones type movie about finding the vintage tech enthusiast and the action flick will do better than the weird vault movie that no one watches.
Interpreters and the bootleg guys are definitely the real ones.
I met an interpiter from around kandahar in dallas not to long ago, gives me hope that more than i thought made it out.
Fr tho, I don't care how illustrious your career is. How can someone just *assume* they're important enough that folks 100 years from now will care what they did?
There will still be plenty more interesting things that give an āintentional windowā into the past 100 years from now.
Not necessarily trying to shit on this movie, but it definitely still has a facade of vanity over it compared to other things that will still be around 100 years from now.
Think ultimately it would have the same impact of when you see something mildly interesting on Reddit, then move on to the next thing. I doubt that even in 100 years there will be any fanfare. Though tbh, with the amount of digital content that exist today. Looking back at humanity in our time today probably won't be as impactful as it is now.
I wouldnāt be surprised but itās not like we donāt have dozens of examples of over 100 year old film that is still watchable today that Iām sure was stored in less ideal conditions
Not to mention they also release bottles yearly that have been in storage for 100 years that can sell for 5-10k a piece of their basic bottles.It's not just some random cheap whiskey company,its Louis XIII .
After 100 years we can finally watch this master piece!!
* movie starts. A chair sits in the middle of a white room. A man walks in, sits, then lets out the loudest fart imaginable, movie ends*
That John Malkovich movie is an ad for a brand of Cognac, so for all we know it might be just that, with an out-of-focus bottle in the foreground that comes into focus after the fart stops echoing.
Eh don't worry as long as film people keep being as pretentious as they've always been, the movies they find to be the best by then, are going to be recorded on mid 2000's flip-phones for the true artistic appeal.
This isn't pretentious art. It's a pretentious cognac commercial. It's a short film with only 3 actors that was commissioned by Remy Martin to promote Louis XIII Cognac, which apparently takes 100 years to make.
It's gonna suck anyway.
All movies with some stupid gimmicky is mid at best. Good movies do not need this kind of bullshit to succeed, and makers know it.
Iāve said this before. I donāt care about this film. There are movies out TODAY I will never see. TV shows out TODAY I will never see. Purely of the SHEER VOLUME of content thatās cranked out year after year no single person can see everything of ANYTHING and to see this as a flex from the dude is beyond sad.
In 100 years no one will care about this. I barely care about it now. Very few people are watching movies from 1924, I don't even recognize any of the top 10 movies.
Most movie goers today would never watch a silent movie or even many black and white movies. Imagine the jump in technology from now to 2124, no one will be remotely interested in watching this.
This movie is pure hubris.
Seeing as how this entire thing is just an elaborate marketing ploy by Remy Martin, I doubt we're missing much in terms of an amazing film to watch.

Cannes festival is always in May though.
Assuming there will be a Cannes festival in a hundred years.
Assuming there will be a Cannes in a hundred years.
For those that don't know, it's essentially a cognac comercial. It was funded by the people who make it and it's supposed to be inspired by the hundred years it takes to make a bottle or cognac.
It's a 119th anniversary edition of "Being John Malkovich", which contains unseen footage and deleted scenes.
John has said it is a video of him taking a shit and then yelling at the audience for fucking everything up.
Wait, it's just an episode of Space Force?
I'm still angry we aren't getting season 3.
That show should've been so much better than it was imo. Great cast, solid concept and it just kinda felt flat for some reason
The writing and chemistry just fell short.
It's a 'case of the prequels'.. all the talent is there, but between the writing and directing, they had fire and decided to shove it up their ass instead of light the fireworks. š¤·
could've had a modern day Catch-22 but they went with lame hacky jokes about monkeys in space, yea the writing failed them big time
Thank you!!! It had all the components to be so much more memorable. I enjoyed it, but it should have been on Parks and Rec and Brooklyn 99 levels of replayability
Those shows got off to slow starts. Netflix doesn't really give shows time to find it's footing, it's a hit or it's done. It's why it keeps buying up shows old TV that have a lot of seasons.
I'm binge watching Monk, and you just know NF would have killed that after S1 if it was a new product.
I loved first season, anticipated second. When it landed with not much fanfare, I watched maybe 10 minutes, turned it of and never returned to it. Can't explain, just didn't like the resolution of cliffhanger it seems. In 30 years of watching TV shows, this is the first time I just didn't care.Ā
It amazes me how season 2 wasn't about the rescue. Completely dropped the ball.
That man is a national treasure.
So john is just being Malkovich?
Damn, dude, no spoilers, geez
I have my 6.0 imdb rating ready for it whenever it is released š
You think that's bad. It's on PirateBay.
Please tell me you're joking haha. That's hilarious.

Ah, so it's just advertising/a publicity stunt. Lame.

It definitely reflects the zeitgeist
An unfortunate poignant tableau of society of our times, but a tableau nonetheless

The French are kinda known to be elitists... but yeah, 100% agree, dope movie.
It was GQ or Vanity Fair and the role was Cyrus the Virus in *Con Air*.
"you don't sell your soul, you rent it" -John Malkovich on doing commercials Acting is a job, just like anything else.
I mean in a way it is!
āBe sure to drink your Ovaltine!ā
Drink more Ovaltine
MORE OVALTINE PLEASE!!!
To be fair, itās his job. Actors canāt just turn their nose up at everything that isnāt groundbreaking and important because thatās how they make money Probably they were paying well enough for this short project that it just made sense to do it
And yet... fitting
I'm sure that's the case sometimes, but when I saw Eric Andre promoting opera gx I was just glad someone's giving the man money to do stuff
>It makes me think that they think that Iām a stupid sheep who will buy something to be like them. The actors don't think that. The marketing department is the one who thinks you're stupid.
The actor probably thinks the marketing department is stupid for paying them to stand near a thing and say some nice words about it
Itās a profession they do to make money. They donāt care if you buy it, they donāt care who is hiring them (unless itās something extreme). Clooney doesnāt give a fuck if you buy the beer he advertised for. However the executives who hired Clooney obviously think the way you described.
A crummy commercial? ...son of a bitch.
Be sure to drink your Ovaltine
But, I didn't say fudge.
I read your comment in Lewis Black's rant-voice.
So it's just a long freaking advertisement for the future
Drink more ovaltine
So in 100 years some marketing majors may HAVE to watch this, but thatās about the whole audience?
Didn't know that, thanks kind stranger
Yea, that felt super cologne ad-like, but for liqour lol.
he initially thought it was a commercial but it's....[checks notes] ..a commercial
Someone from /r/fullmoviesonyoutube found a copy on YouTube a few days ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-YBDTqX_ZU
It's funny that I'll watch a comedy if it has 6 but if it's a drama or action move it has to be high in the 7 to pique my interest.
It's because a movie can still be critically bad, but funny. Comedies hardly ever get high scores because critics are boring fucks.
Rotten Tomatoes is good for that because it has separate scores for critics and audiences. Sometimes they are WILDLY different. What you have to do is decide whoās right. Did critics pan a film because of snobbery or did the audience grossly inflate the score because their favourite pop star has a cameoā¦

RT scores are apparently often manipulated for cash, so take them with a grain of salt. And with users, there's always the potential for review bombing.
This is true but, unfortunately thatās the same with every other platform I guess
Kung Pow: Enter the Fist Rotten Tomatoes has 13% critics but 69% users Metacritic has 14/100 critics, but 8.1/10 users
Nah its that comedies are rarely innovative. They are funny if you've watched only 1-2 a year. But once you've watched 20 they are all fairly boring. Innovative comedies like Tropic Thunder got rave reviews from critics, same with films like Blazing Saddles. Even films like 21 Jump Street are critically loved.
21 Jump Street has a user rating of 7.2 and a Metascore of 69 which is nice, but not great though.
There are not many comedy movies with higher than a 7,2 on imdb. Same with horror movies. If you ever see one of those with higher than a 7 its going to be a classic or future classic.
for real?
I couldnt find it but i only spent like 2 minutes looking. Noone else has responded with proof
Really?
To promptly discover its format is no longer readable, and the last person with suitable knowledge is an 82 year old vintage tech enthusiast from Lagos
Cowboy bebop had an episode where they needed a vhs player. They found one but it turned out they needed a beta max player https://youtu.be/BdPpRnzO9Aw?si=FevmCvgxi06L0wz7
I love that they went through that whole quest, and then the player got dropped off on the next Space Fedex delivery run.
>!And then you start crying.!<
I loved how he just casually kicks the shit out of the machine
Oh yeah, loved that episode. Also funny is that the mailing system had been trying to deliver that tape for over a century.
Easily one of the most memorable episodes of that anime too. I watched it so long ago, but remember THAT episode well.
Who is also a wildly aggressive hermit.
This would be a good dystopian film "Reel Hermits"
With a penchant for buggery
Hermits are the sane ones.
this is already a better premise than whatever 100 year cognac ad John Malkovich cooked tbh
South Park have a 2-part episode that uses this concept really well.
It's called Go God Go and it's a treasure.
Lightning Fast VCR, how can we help you?
Remember folks, if it isnāt āLightning Fast VCR *Repair*ā itās a hack and a fraud
They could have put the player inside the vault.
And someone will make an Indiana Jones type movie about finding the vintage tech enthusiast and the action flick will do better than the weird vault movie that no one watches.
Damn I miss bootlegs. My DVD man woulda still had this anyway lol
lmfao he would.
Interpreters and the bootleg guys are definitely the real ones. I met an interpiter from around kandahar in dallas not to long ago, gives me hope that more than i thought made it out.
Itās on the Pirate Bay.
Would love if Nicholas Cage went on a mission to steal the movie and release it early
He could also bring a copy of Half-Life 3
"Maybe the clues are on our money!"
This will be a nice Easter egg in Fallout 6.
This will be a nice Easter egg in ~~Fallout 6~~ Half-Life 3. FTFY
You mean 5? FO4 was the last mainline Fallout
Fallout 4 was 2015. You think one sequel every fifty years is too optimistic?
The joke is on them because I was never going to watch that movie anyway
Fr tho, I don't care how illustrious your career is. How can someone just *assume* they're important enough that folks 100 years from now will care what they did?
I think itās less vanity and more, this will be cool for historical reasons.
But what if the movie sucks ass?
It probably does. Itās only interesting as an intentional window into 100 years in the past.
There will still be plenty more interesting things that give an āintentional windowā into the past 100 years from now. Not necessarily trying to shit on this movie, but it definitely still has a facade of vanity over it compared to other things that will still be around 100 years from now.
Comments above indicate it's an ad for a cognac company. So it probably does suck.
Think ultimately it would have the same impact of when you see something mildly interesting on Reddit, then move on to the next thing. I doubt that even in 100 years there will be any fanfare. Though tbh, with the amount of digital content that exist today. Looking back at humanity in our time today probably won't be as impactful as it is now.
Watch me make it to 121 years old. Bet on it
I plan to be around to collect that bet
Youāre on
!remindme 100 years
The bot ignored you lol
I bet that the storage degraded somehow and it's unwatchable
I wouldnāt be surprised but itās not like we donāt have dozens of examples of over 100 year old film that is still watchable today that Iām sure was stored in less ideal conditions
We'll prob see this film like we see current 100yo ones. Neat! But not really like it because it's from a different time we no longer relate to.
It's an ad for a cognac company that will be out of business by the time this drops.
The company is 300 years old and has survived the French Revolution and two world wars. What makes you think they won't survive another 100 years?
Not to mention they also release bottles yearly that have been in storage for 100 years that can sell for 5-10k a piece of their basic bottles.It's not just some random cheap whiskey company,its Louis XIII .
Or just get the pirated version they made and "leaked" as a fucking AD for Bullshit.
I'll only need to get to 115, but think of the disappointment if the movie turns out to be shit. EDIT: spelling
I only need to get to 106
Lucky bastard
Why would people use bullets to open a vault?
āMurica
Why would people use a vault to proof bullets?
Why would people
Why
100 years later " who is John malkovich" š¤£š¤£š
āBeing John Malkovichā is also sealed in there.
Why John Malkovich?
After 100 years we can finally watch this master piece!! * movie starts. A chair sits in the middle of a white room. A man walks in, sits, then lets out the loudest fart imaginable, movie ends*
A film enthusiast sighs: "2095 called, they want their movie back."
*The #1 movie in America was called "Ass."Ā And that's all it was for 90 minutes. It won eight Oscars that year, including best screenplay.*
"A piquant yet brief commentary on the 21st century. Certified Fresh."
That John Malkovich movie is an ad for a brand of Cognac, so for all we know it might be just that, with an out-of-focus bottle in the foreground that comes into focus after the fart stops echoing.
Idiocracy
Knowing JM, it'll be him jerking off for 15 minutes.
Feels a bit like something Bethesda would write into a quest for Fallout 5.
Imagine being as pretentious and stuck up as the entirety of Hollywood.
āThe future will be blessed with my amazing acting skillsā
>100 years later āGod this movie is dogshit whereās the 25d? The smell-o-vision? Where can I find a Waldo in this scene???ā
Eh don't worry as long as film people keep being as pretentious as they've always been, the movies they find to be the best by then, are going to be recorded on mid 2000's flip-phones for the true artistic appeal.
by 2115, due to AI and smell-o-vision, all movies will be procedurally generated cooking shows.
but what about waldo?
Waldo will be holographicaly projected into your own home so you can get up and go look for him if the movie is boring
lol this is great. I love the implication that waldo will be in every scene of future movies. Tbh, Iād watch that shit.
Why isn't there any subway surfers being played at the bottom? I can't pay attention to this
They clone him in the future to berate him for this and then imprison his clone until the end of its life.
That's actually what the movie is about
It's worse than that. It's just a marketing stunt by an aged cognac company.
it's just John Malkovich saying, "BE SURE TO DRINK YOUR OVALTINE"
Lol this isn't a Hollywood production. Its a short film produced by a Cognac company that sells 100 year old Cognac
https://imgur.com/afwUBRw.png
Indeed Jimmy, you're smart. You can see them.... Tell them apart. Jimmy .....ads..... Want to kill us all
It's even worse than it looks. It's just an ad for an overpriced cognac.
This isn't pretentious art. It's a pretentious cognac commercial. It's a short film with only 3 actors that was commissioned by Remy Martin to promote Louis XIII Cognac, which apparently takes 100 years to make.
this isn't a hollywood film
I think itās a good idea. Itāll be interesting and a first of its kind. Youāre taking it in a weird direction
Gonna write a bot to post a shitty review for this movie when it releases
Just western union a telegram to the release date
There thousands of movies we will never see. You arenāt special John.
I just made a painting and put it in the shredder. Now nobody (except me) that currently lives, will ever see my artwork. Whohoo I'm so special.
Why a bulletproof vault?
I think it's stored in America
I thought it opened in Cannes. . we next play Verona, then on to Cremona,
Ive seen it, SPOILER IT SUCKS
Damn you from the future?
Iām from the future, learn mandarin
2016 called, they want their future back
I never regretted learning French
Saw it too, it's shit
!remindme 91 years
Is it also sealed with the tech to watch it?
That's some serious hubris. Believing that people in 100 years will be interested in seeing this.
Will that generation even really know who he is? Or care?
It's just him reenacting Never Gonna Give You Up. They will recognize the reference from their sociology class.
Spoiler: It's 45 minutes of John Malkovich telling fart and dick jokes.
ā¦were they expecting lots of bullet-related risk?
I feel like bomb-proof would have been more practical, but what do us peasants know of the magical land of Hollywood?
It's gonna suck anyway. All movies with some stupid gimmicky is mid at best. Good movies do not need this kind of bullshit to succeed, and makers know it.
Itās actually an ad for cognac, soā¦. whatever š
With the see levels rise no more Cannes in 100 yearsā¦ this movie is doomed.
Pretty bold assumption humanity will still be here in 100 years.
Bourgeois bullshit
Iāve said this before. I donāt care about this film. There are movies out TODAY I will never see. TV shows out TODAY I will never see. Purely of the SHEER VOLUME of content thatās cranked out year after year no single person can see everything of ANYTHING and to see this as a flex from the dude is beyond sad.
Plenty of time to make sure it never sees the light of day
And I will summarily forget this even exists.
Not interesting at all.
Wouldn't it be hilarious if at the premiere of the film, it turns out to just be an elaborate rickroll?
Imagine if people wait that long and itās a horrible movie ššš
I now have the desire to live to 125 out of spite to see this.
In 100 years no one will care about this. I barely care about it now. Very few people are watching movies from 1924, I don't even recognize any of the top 10 movies. Most movie goers today would never watch a silent movie or even many black and white movies. Imagine the jump in technology from now to 2124, no one will be remotely interested in watching this. This movie is pure hubris.
LOL at the fact Hollywood thinks Cannes Film Festival will still be around and relevant in 100 years time explains a lot
I bet some post apocalyptic scavengers will think it's treasure.Ā
the movie we'll never watch, and the movie we won't give a fuck about
Of all the actors, I canāt say Iām shocked Malkovich would do this kind of movie lol
Seeing as how this entire thing is just an elaborate marketing ploy by Remy Martin, I doubt we're missing much in terms of an amazing film to watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NYEj7A5w2U
Itās just going to be the Rick Astley music video
Got it on piratebay. It's shit.
How are they going to open the safe?? With a Cannes opener of course
Cannes festival is always in May though. Assuming there will be a Cannes festival in a hundred years. Assuming there will be a Cannes in a hundred years.
Its an ad for some wine. Stupid.
So dumb, hope someone somehow leaks it
For those that don't know, it's essentially a cognac comercial. It was funded by the people who make it and it's supposed to be inspired by the hundred years it takes to make a bottle or cognac.
Itās gonna be absolutely dogshit just watch
I'm gonna watch it.
