Congratulations you’re the old generation. Grandpa!
The case in point. I’m not sure if this person/thing can even read or not.
He/she/it throws this sound at me…this vibration of air particles…that my brain hears as “old”…this entity then expects me to feel bad somehow and to have my curiosity crushed and/or silenced.
Movie quality was greater in the past. Even before my era. We set the bar high previously and now we can’t seem to go beyond the bar or even reach its level currently. Why? I thought the “future” meant “progress”?
no one is stoping you from watching T2 every day for the rest of your life, thats the movie you will ever need
I was about to make a thread showing off how immature I am by using my own subjective thoughts on stuff as universal objective benchmarks for how everyone else should think, and anything I don’t like/that doesn’t agree with my point of view I would dismiss with vague inconsistent claims of being shitty.
…but I’ve clearly been beaten to the punch dammit!
Agreed 100%…we do have great tools at our hands here…if we wield them appropriately and “in good taste”…there just seems to have been a shift somewhere around the early 2000s where the general populace simply stopped caring about a story even making any sense or having glaring plot holes…or just an abundance of moments where you’re thinking “wait a sec…why did he/what just/who is that?”
Current movies feel analogous to this:
The Outside Within
1: Hi, my name’s Michael.
2: Hi, Michael.
1: Actually, I am John. I hid my name because my parents died on an alien planet in the year 200877 xanadu xy in the omega galaxy of constellation many moons ago. They were great, loving parents who sacrificed themselves to destroy the zalnaga…evil doers of the universe.
2. Oh…that’s crazy. We need to save Earth! You can help us if we believe! Why? Because I feel it and have faith. Do you believe in love?
- Actually, I really am Michael…I am a zalnaga.
audience gasps
- Why did you lie to me?
- What does “truth” really mean? Dramatic Pause
audience ooohs and awwws
Movie ends with a spoiler after the credits that will be better than the actual movie itself*****
audience ooohs and awwws
critics herald the film for its “exploration” of morality and its breakthrough in special effects and cinematography
FIX YOUR SH*T NOOBS
Pixar movies are (mostly) still good!
to see hobbits throwing rocks at giant orcs and seeing them backflip from it and nobody else at the theater seems to notice, i know i’m old. there’s a ton of shitty movies because they’re making movies that make good previews. but they’ve been doing this forever so i have no point i guess.
Great video on the making of Aliens…at 22:00 minutes or so they talk about how they actually created a real facehugger model that could walk and move on its own…IN REAL LIFE.
You’d rather just make believe the Alien was there in front of the camera with CGI? SHIT IS WEAK. LOL.
Oh…missed this little creature here.
Sigh. Those who do not study history are doomed to repeat it…
You’re actually arguing our past doesn’t matter? LOL
I’ll rape your small mind with a quote from the 1970s series Kung Fu (also before my time):
“If a man dwells on the past, then he robs the present. But if a man ignores the past, he may rob the future. The seeds of our destiny are nurtured by the roots of our past.”

pyrolee who would win in an arm wrestling ft3, you or Dander
after watching The Lord of the Rings trilogy, and King Kong…I can honestly say Peter Jackson is an overrated director.
Those movies weren’t technically badly directed, but give someone 4+hours for a movie’s runtime and anyone can make a good movie.
pootnannies theres a name I haven’t seen in years lol
Yup!!! Half of the people posting in here know nothing about this:
Tarantino’s post 2000 stuff is still hard as nails. May be N°1 before 2000 and easy N°1 after.
But other than that I’ve a hard time coming up with good stuff. I’ll be back.
I had a witty, passionate retort in all caps ready to go, but then I realized the last movie I saw in theaters was Tammy (dragged out with family, theater was nice though).
I think (and I’m probably not the only one with this problem) I’ve played too much console peasant Street Fighter to sit through most movies (although I did watch the first Iron Man and the Avengers, those were aight considering I didn’t pay $12 to watch them in theaters)
I might be going out to SoCal in March. Somebody culture me up.
you may not be able to understand this- blame Atheism
cant wait for the new Terminator movie
Watch Birdman.
DAT KEATON
pyro your posts on here always leave me in tears
but pyro, haven’t you watched inception. That movie was a social engineers mind game and it made a lot of money because it was like what the mind works. YEah.
