Heres a new one: Crime 101 is a 2026 crime thriller film starring Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Barry Keoghan, and Halle Berry. It is written and directed by Bart Layton, based on the 2020 novella of the same name by Don Winslow.
Big stars! How weird this has disappeared.
I haven’t read the plot so no spoilers, but I’m thinking it’s possible that there might be culturally or politically unsettling elements in this film. Remember: IDIOCRACY predicted our NOW and it was disappeared. ANNIVERSARY is our NOW and it was disappeared.
Crime 101 was released in January and I literally have never heard of it despite a great cast. What’s going on? Disappeared to protect the guilty?

Define “disappeared”. Because I wouldn’t describe Idiocracy that way.
IDIOCRACY predicted our NOW and it was disappeared.
What do you mean with “disappeared”? You can stream it on Prime Video, Apple TV, Disney+, YouTube, and buy it on optical media.
I also wonder what they mean. If memory serves, Idiocracy was not promoted very well, flopped at the box office, and left theatres quickly. It took years of people talking about it to really gain cultural significance, which it deserved btw.
But that doesn’t seem at all like “disappeared” to me.
My understanding was this was supposed to be a streaming film but the stars protested it should be in theaters, so it eventually got a theatrical release. Fitting it into existing commitments by the theaters may have contributed to it not lasting long in theaters.
I’ve seen ads on Instagram for it. That, and Good Luck Have Fun Don’t Die (which imo looks pretty fun, even though I have no idea what it’s about).
This (what your post is about) is a problem in that we all hate ads, so we go out of our way to not see any ads for anything. Then when new things come around, we’re frustrated that we had no idea this was coming. It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy at this point, that we’re the reason for our discontent.
YouTube spams the fuck in my feed with Crime 101. I lost interest because of how much it was shoved down my throat.
Not that I had much interest to begin with, but keep doing it and you make me do everything I can to avoid it and not want to look any deeper into it.
I get that. I use Revanced, my phone’s DNS is set to “dns.adguard.com” and it blocks all ads (browser and mobile game/app ads), and on my PC I use Ublock.
So maybe I’m one of the ones in my “problem.”
A lot of movies go unnoticed. Do you know of Night Patrol? I only saw a trailer by chance recently.
We can’t pay attention to everything, that’s the main problem.There are a lot of films at the cinema which only seem to be on for a week at most. Blink and you’ll miss them. I don’t think anybody’s intentionally “disappearing” anything; they just aren’t considered a big enough draw to show for any longer.
From the looks of it it’s a decent movie, well reviewed, audiences liked it, just not making much money. It happens, could be bad timing at the box office, movie fatigue, etc.
