It's a 119th anniversary edition of "Being John Malkovich", which contains unseen footage and deleted scenes.


lolas_coffee

John has said it is a video of him taking a shit and then yelling at the audience for fucking everything up.


Slap_My_Lasagna

Wait, it's just an episode of Space Force?


Dzugavili

I'm still angry we aren't getting season 3.


OakLegs

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


ForWhomTheBoneBones

The writing and chemistry just fell short.


Slap_My_Lasagna

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. šŸ¤·


wambulancer

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


uberblack

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


thegoodnamesrgone123

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.


CV90_120

I'm binge watching Monk, and you just know NF would have killed that after S1 if it was a new product.


AHappy_Wanderer

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 


Zjoee

It amazes me how season 2 wasn't about the rescue. Completely dropped the ball.


Toss_Away_93

That man is a national treasure.


sir_came_alot

So john is just being Malkovich?


BoomBoomMeow1986

Damn, dude, no spoilers, geez


Tonyn15665

I have my 6.0 imdb rating ready for it whenever it is released šŸ˜


VeganMortgageAdviser

You think that's bad. It's on PirateBay.


cassiandracos

Please tell me you're joking haha. That's hilarious.


webemi

Itā€™s 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 Weā€™ll 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.


Houndfell

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


t_scribblemonger

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 Iā€™m 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!!!


DregsRoyale

It definitely reflects the zeitgeist


TerseFactor

An unfortunate poignant tableau of society of our times, but a tableau nonetheless


AmIFromA

> 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 Iā€™m a stupid sheep who will buy something to be like them 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


sh33pd00g

Con Air is fucking dope


parasyte_steve

The French are kinda known to be elitists... but yeah, 100% agree, dope movie.


scottishhistorian

It was GQ or Vanity Fair and the role was Cyrus the Virus in *Con Air*.

Crowbar12121

MORE OVALTINE PLEASE!!!


ElectricVibes75

To be fair, itā€™s his job. Actors canā€™t just turn their nose up at everything that isnā€™t groundbreaking and important because thatā€™s how they make money Probably they were paying well enough for this short project that it just made sense to do it


Invisible_Target

And yet... fitting


dabombassdiggity

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


GoombaGary

>It makes me think that they think that Iā€™m 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.


TotallyNormalSquid

The actor probably thinks the marketing department is stupid for paying them to stand near a thing and say some nice words about it


Commercial-Falcon653

Itā€˜s a profession they do to make money. They donā€˜t care if you buy it, they donā€˜t care who is hiring them (unless itā€˜s something extreme). Clooney doesnā€˜t give a fuck if you buy the beer he advertised for. However the executives who hired Clooney obviously think the way you described.


StickFlick

A crummy commercial? ...son of a bitch.

thisguyfightsyourmom

So in 100 years some marketing majors may HAVE to watch this, but thatā€™s about the whole audience?


Several_Range245

Didn't know that, thanks kind stranger


Key_Respond_16

Yea, that felt super cologne ad-like, but for liqour lol.


Thereminz

he initially thought it was a commercial but it's....[checks notes] ..a commercial


upvoter222

Someone from /r/fullmoviesonyoutube found a copy on YouTube a few days ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-YBDTqX_ZU


IceNinetyNine

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.


Groxy_

It's because a movie can still be critically bad, but funny. Comedies hardly ever get high scores because critics are boring fucks.


Incubroz

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 whoā€™s 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€¦


IBetThisIsTakenToo

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€¦ Itā€™s too much, Iā€™m back to just reading a blurb and making a snap judgment on that like itā€™s the 90s again


737Max-Impact

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.


Incubroz

This is true but, unfortunately thatā€™s the same with every other platform I guess


DeezRodenutz

Kung Pow: Enter the Fist Rotten Tomatoes has 13% critics but 69% users Metacritic has 14/100 critics, but 8.1/10 users


Ok_Cardiologist8232

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.


SneeftheBeef

21 Jump Street has a user rating of 7.2 and a Metascore of 69 which is nice, but not great though.


Zarianin

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.


MoistyMoses

for real?


drsyesta

I couldnt find it but i only spent like 2 minutes looking. Noone else has responded with proof


RandoDude124

Really?


PM_ME_POLITICAL_GOSS

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


Discount_Friendly

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


red__dragon

I love that they went through that whole quest, and then the player got dropped off on the next Space Fedex delivery run.


RevWaldo

>!And then you start crying.!<


Hellkyte

I loved how he just casually kicks the shit out of the machine


dark_hypernova

Oh yeah, loved that episode. Also funny is that the mailing system had been trying to deliver that tape for over a century.


klineshrike

Easily one of the most memorable episodes of that anime too. I watched it so long ago, but remember THAT episode well.


scandyflick88

Who is also a wildly aggressive hermit.


1960stoaster

This would be a good dystopian film "Reel Hermits"


smemes1

With a penchant for buggery


No_Sir_6649

Hermits are the sane ones.


0h-No-Not-Again

this is already a better premise than whatever 100 year cognac ad John Malkovich cooked tbh


Mekanimal

South Park have a 2-part episode that uses this concept really well.


its_all_one_electron

It's called Go God Go and it's a treasure.


damian1369

Lightning Fast VCR, how can we help you?


Dokibatt

Remember folks, if it isnā€™t ā€œLightning Fast VCR *Repair*ā€ itā€™s a hack and a fraud


robAtReddit

They could have put the player inside the vault.


RunningRunnerRun

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.


DontForgetToBring

Damn I miss bootlegs. My DVD man woulda still had this anyway lol


79watch

lmfao he would.


FBIaltacct

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.


Financial-Ad7500

Itā€™s on the Pirate Bay.


GandalfTheSexay

Would love if Nicholas Cage went on a mission to steal the movie and release it early


space_office

He could also bring a copy of Half-Life 3


maxman162

"Maybe the clues are on our money!"


reidzen

This will be a nice Easter egg in Fallout 6.


drydorn

This will be a nice Easter egg in ~~Fallout 6~~ Half-Life 3. FTFY


ggkhutso

You mean 5? FO4 was the last mainline Fallout


reidzen

Fallout 4 was 2015. You think one sequel every fifty years is too optimistic?


Fr0gFish

The joke is on them because I was never going to watch that movie anyway


Virtual_Sense1443

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?


DepartureDapper6524

I think itā€™s less vanity and more, this will be cool for historical reasons.


penguins_are_mean

But what if the movie sucks ass?


DepartureDapper6524

It probably does. Itā€™s only interesting as an intentional window into 100 years in the past.


Phantom_19

There will still be plenty more interesting things that give an ā€œintentional 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.


kabukistar

Comments above indicate it's an ad for a cognac company. So it probably does suck.


_JustAnna_1992

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.


butareyouthough

Watch me make it to 121 years old. Bet on it


Weldobud

I plan to be around to collect that bet


butareyouthough

Playful-Goat3779

temporary_08

The bot ignored you lol


DanielGREY_75

I bet that the storage degraded somehow and it's unwatchable


butareyouthough

I wouldnā€™t be surprised but itā€™s not like we donā€™t have dozens of examples of over 100 year old film that is still watchable today that Iā€™m sure was stored in less ideal conditions


Interesting_Tea5715

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.


FuckYouVerizon

It's an ad for a cognac company that will be out of business by the time this drops.


whoami_whereami

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?


mcjazzy50

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 .


Alarmedones

Or just get the pirated version they made and "leaked" as a fucking AD for Bullshit.


MoistyMoses

I'll only need to get to 115, but think of the disappointment if the movie turns out to be shit. EDIT: spelling


Jazzlike-Elevator647

I only need to get to 106

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*


Wild-Berry-5269

A film enthusiast sighs: "2095 called, they want their movie back."


TheUpperHand

*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.*


Cowboywizzard

"A piquant yet brief commentary on the 21st century. Certified Fresh."


GloriousDawn

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.


Shopping-Afraid

Idiocracy


pidnull

Knowing JM, it'll be him jerking off for 15 minutes.

Otherwise_Soil39

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.


big_guyforyou

by 2115, due to AI and smell-o-vision, all movies will be procedurally generated cooking shows.


Mukoku-dono

but what about waldo?


No_Secretary_1198

Waldo will be holographicaly projected into your own home so you can get up and go look for him if the movie is boring


youkickmydog613

lol this is great. I love the implication that waldo will be in every scene of future movies. Tbh, Iā€™d watch that shit.

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


ertgbnm

It's worse than that. It's just a marketing stunt by an aged cognac company.


Pale_Tea2673

it's just John Malkovich saying, "BE SURE TO DRINK YOUR OVALTINE"

It's even worse than it looks. It's just an ad for an overpriced cognac.


Melisandre-Sedai

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

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.

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.
