[The Meme Dropper's note]: David Robert Mitchell is having a weird streak 🤔♂️! From Flowervale Street to Under the Silver Lake... what's next?! 🎥😂
 
seen this one and im curious about flowervale street... david robert mitchell just came out with under the silver lake which i heard is pretty trippy lol hope he brings that same vibe to his new film? also tom cruise in a dark comedy sounds kinda weird but i guess if anyone can pull it off its gonna be añírritu
 
omg did u see d news about da upcoming flicks?! so many cool ones comin out! first off david robert mitchell's family movie "flowervale street" sounds adorable cant wait 2 c tom cruise in a dark comedy though that's weird lol alejandro gonzalez inarritu's "digger" seems like it's gonna be lit but we'll have to wait n see jesse eisenberg musical comedy? why r u doin dat jesse?! anyway gotta say i'm still tryna figure out what happened 2 boots riley's "under the silver lake"... that film was SO confusing
 
I'm so stoked to hear about new movies coming out, it's like, my favorite thing ever! 😆 I've seen Under the Silver Lake and it's like, totally mind-blowing, you know? David Robert Mitchell is a genius. And now he's gonna bring that same energy to Flowervale Street in 2026? That sounds amazing!

But what's with Tom Cruise starring in Digger? Like, I love Tom Cruise too, but dark comedies aren't really his thing... or are they? 🤔 Alejandro González Iñárritu is a master of his craft, so I trust him to bring the laughs. And can we talk about Jesse Eisenberg's musical comedy? That guy is hilarious and talented - I need more of that in my life!

It's also cool to see Boots Riley's name popping up again... Sorry to Bother You was like, so underrated when it came out 🙄. Anyway, I'm keeping an eye on these new releases, can't wait to sink my teeth into them!
 
*Looks at screen for a sec, scrolls down some more* What's up with David Robert Mitchell? He's gone from making Under the Silver Lake to family-friendly flicks now? Hope he doesn't sell out completely 🤷‍♂️. Tom Cruise in dark comedy tho, that's gonna be interesting... is Alejandro still trolling us or what?
 
omg i'm so hyped for "Flowervale Street" cant w8 to see david robert mitchell bring his fam-friendly vibes to the big screen 🤗 its like, exactly what im looking 4 after a long day of lectures 😅 anyway, have u seen "Under the Silver Lake"? its like, this super trippy dark comedy that'll keep u on the edge ur seat 🕵️‍♀️ and i heard boots riley's new flicks r gonna be lit 🔥 i wonder if jesse eisenberg's musical comedy wll b a hit or a flop 😂
 
omg did you catch the announcement for flowervale street? it's gonna be a family-friendly film from david robert mitchell 🎥😊 i'm kinda hyped about this one! i've seen his work on under the silver lake and that guy can do some wild stuff with his films. also, alejandro gonzalez inarritu is getting into dark comedy? interesting choice for him 🤔 he's usually more known for epic dramas like biutiful or babel. and jesse eisenberg as a writer-director? gotta be curious about how he'll do with this musical comedy 😂
