Maybe it’ll be an apocalypse movie
It won’t even be good, either. It won’t be some big-budget blockbuster; it’ll be a movie by Dave, the guy in your survival group that just doesn’t quite get it and still thinks there’s anybody left alive to appreciate art. Also he plays all the characters.
Except instead of Dave, it’s Adam Sandler.
It will be porn. I guarantee it.
…can I watch?
AI will continue making movies after we’re gone. Bots will give reviews and post their opinion in forums
Scarily plausible
You overestimate how long the power grid can work without human interaction.
Dead internet theory for a dead world.
And the book will have been better.
Minecraft 2: This is The End
Starring Jack Black as Steve and Micheal Cera as Alex. Special guest star Seth Rogen as The Ender Dragon.
Damn, I thought we had another year or three… That’s already in production
Have you SEEN the world we’re in? This society is a dumpster fire!
Probably this or next century if global warming continues as it has.
Humanity doesn’t have much time left
Ah, but some day the sapient squids who come after us will re-invent video recording and, assuming they tell each other stories, the industry will inevitably start up again.
And the reanimated corpses of lawyers will rise if that squid looks too much like Minnie Mouse.
I don’t think it will be an apocalypse movie, because nobody will want to watch it at that point.
Unless it’s a documentary, of course. “This is why we will all die.”
Since movies take lots of time to make and being “finished” is an arbitrary decision made by the director and/or producer, it would be nearly impossible to pinpoint one as the last.
Kind of like a musician’s last song. Was it the last one they published, recorded, or wrote? What about the last song they half wrote or maybe recorded some partial demos?
Morbius II: The Morbin’
As with everything that changes, there is no clean “cut off” where a last thing is made and then no more. Entertainment more than anything evolves and changes. There might be a last “traditional” movie made with a studio and sets and cameras, but by that time we will hardly notice, or our grandkids will hardly notice, as they have moved on to new more immersive or entertaining forms of escapism.
Thats assuming that there won’t be an end to all creative output on this planet in the next million years.
Anything past 1000 years from now is beyond understanding, IMO.
Does any form of entertainment really die though? We still have stage plays and novels even though entertainment has evolved to films and television
I don’t think so, there are plenty of hipsters dusting off old phonographs and vinyl records, hobbyists using old-fashioned cameras, modern musicians restoring old styles of instruments or tones.
When I was little I used to imagine the future was going to be either some kind of sleek Star Trek world of clean utopian skylines, OR it would be an apocalyptic wasteland with people remembering the Before Times as the sky is choked with ash and smoke.
The reality I have realized, is that the future is always just “more” of everything. We will have more poverty, more wealthy people, more diseases, more miracles, more hardships, more forms of entertainment, more wars and more peace. We will have more forms of entertainment and more ways to enjoy them.
I had a crazy dream about 8 years ago where I was born and lived a whole life into the future to an age of ~ 27 years old if I remember. It was pretty much just more of everything. All the new shit was slick as hell, old homes still were right where they were but new high rise buildings were hundreds of stories tall filled with technology we cant wrap our heads around currently ( no teleportation or anything like that). Poverty seemed to be non existent. Everyone was wealthy but not in a monetary sense ,it seemed like civilization moved beyond that , the ego was dead on a global scale. There was apparently some sort of “miracle” that happened when I was an infant so I wasn’t amazed by it; in the same way a child born today wouldn’t be amazed by a cell phone or computer.
Way less hardship everything was really chill (there was no war or even any reason to lie ). Entertainment was more in the form of symposiums/ live performances at various types of meeting places with interaction between the speakers and the public, they were an almost daily occurrence and a large part of every day life. They were everywhere from parks , amphitheaters, behind store fronts in ally ways etc. Lots of public transportation, full carbon bikes (or who knows what material but they were feather weight and cheap, everybody had one The porn was absolutely crazy.
It was clean utopian skylines and you didn’t need to wear a paper gown with your ass hanging out if you went to the hospital because there was no need for surgery.
Anyway it was just a dream I wish I never woke up from. Were probably going to get the ashes and smoke, some “Dinosauria We” shit
In Star Trek the main form of entertainment is holoprograms, yet they also have stage plays
I think we can all agree that their obsession with doing things the “human way” would be our modern equivalent of hipsters just performatively kneecapping themselves by like, pulling out a mechanical typewriter in a Starbucks.
Come on guys, you can have the Holodeck do ANYTHING and you all choose the same damn Sherlock Holmes novels and british sailboats? Lets just admit that kind of stuff is just cover for what they really get up to in there. It’s like the equivalent of quickly pulling over a Wikipedia window when Mom walks in.
It’ll be a porno
The last human to paint the last painting, to poop the last human poop. Just like civilization we’re not frozen in biology either. Maybe we’ll be replaced by one or more progeny species, maybe it’ll be the end of the line for the great apes all together.
One thing’s for sure: it will be part of Disney’s IP.
Well, it’s difficult to define movie. There will be the last big blockbuster production. But maybe there will still be a smaller production that counts as blockbuster for some people. There will be documentation of stuff probably, does that count as a movie when people film their last days? I don’t think there will this one clear final movie, but yeah, it will (probably) end eventually.
