either movie you could use as an example

aliens was better than the first imo

but they are remembered because they were the diamond classics
the question is what the bland norm was

there were definitely shitty 80s movies, but i'd say on average, they were better and more thought provoking than modern films

but that isnt really saying much

i do notice the coward trend of just trying to remake the classics

red letter media pointed out that the new Mummy movie with cruise was definitely made for asia first, with lots of scenes that had narration over them with no one's mouth moving in the shot

exactly

That's 100% a lens you're seeing through. Wait 20 years and look back on 2000s/2010s movies and pick out the good ones.

there's a reason why 80% of modern films are remakes

a lot of classic 50s films were remakes of silent 30s films

dont know much about 50s movies

besides like, astro boy

i think that was 50s?

idk

ben hur was the most expensive movie ever made twice

i should keep notes of what current movies are actually good story quality and original

people died making ben hur

i think we do have a lot

there are good movies

i think zootopia had a character that was a moose in america and a panda or tanooki in china and japan

movies suck today

it's just the majority are popped out simply to make money

i do not mean that in edgy post-ironic way

bladerunner 2049 was the best movie i've seen in a long time. they're just really rare

it's just overrun by agenda

well it drops originality points, but yeah

I used to go to theaters all the time 2 years ago

Now I never do

yeah..

not only because the movies suck

but the people

my god

we're seeing the same happen in gaming

specially the shitty people

once trump won, they went full retard

yeah I am upset at how few good games there are being released

plus a ton of pedos within that erm... circle

I usually buy a ton during the winter sale
