I watched caddyshack for the first time this week on AMC. It's a stupid loving movie but I got some enjoyment out of it. I also watched all of the father's day national lampoon's vacation movies. They were great. Chevy Chase is perfect in all of them. I can go back and watch lovely old movies from the past that I've never seen and they all blow the current movies out of the water. I don't want to watch Batman beat up Superman, I don't want to watch Paul Rudd become an ant. I'm not loving 7 years old anymore.

actually i agree op, i dont subscribe to the idea that modern music is crap, or that people don't write good books any more or any of that, but i really struggle to get excited about films these days. I rewatch old ones all the time and they own, then i watch a current release and... they're all so overlong and flabby. i liked speed racer. lego movie was good. apart from those two i cant think of anything else ive enjoyed n the last like decade. all the good writers went to tv, innit.

I haven't seen that movie and from all accounts it seems loving awesome. I'm not saying that ALL current movies suck the peenis, just most of them.

[EDIT] Not to mention it's based on a movie from the 70's so maybe it doesn't count.

men dress up as bats in a gritty atmosphere that expects us to take it seriously and we do. bc being developmentally stunted in an aesthetic sense is now acceptable and not evidence for being a huge insecure adult mentally stuck circa puberty. supehero movies are for the most part pretentious and idiotic or just deliberately idiotic under tge guise of dumb fun, theyre designed to provide adults with a built in rationalisation for exclusively watching kitsch. movies dont all suck but a lot of major serious movies for adults are just bland kids movies dressed up for adults.

There are a few superhero movies that are actually kind of entertaining. Nobody wants to see Batman vs Superman, seriously I groan every time.

Winter Soldier was good, but Daredevil on Netflix is better. Actual bad rear end stunt work and poo poo and not just CGI vomit.

the article posted:

There were major setbacks in the film's production due to cost and time overruns, negative press, and rumors about Cimino's allegedly overbearing directorial style. It is generally considered one of the biggest box office bombs of all time, and in some circles has been considered to be one of the worst films ever made. It opened to poor reviews and earned $3.5 million domestically (from an estimated $44 million budget),[5] eventually contributing to the near collapse of its studio, United Artists, and effectively destroying the reputation of Cimino, previously one of the ascendant directors of Hollywood owing to his celebrated 1978 film The Deer Hunter, which had won Academy Awards for Best Picture and Best Director in 1979.[6] Cimino had an expansive and ambitious vision for the film and pushed it about four times over its planned budget. The movie's financial problems and United Artists' consequent demise led to a move away from director-driven film production in the American film industry and a shift toward greater studio control of films.[7]

Speak for yourself. Any movie with Henry Cavill wearing that costume and walking around for 2 hours is a good thing. :colbert:

If you like Comic Book movies that's cool, rock on with your bad self. Why can't we just have a little Harrison Ford "The Fugitive" style movie thrown in the mix? Is that so much to ask?

I watched the first two. I think I might have watched the third and fourth. It doesn't matter though because none of them were Matt Damon's best performance, let alone as good asThe Fugitive.

What movie has been great? I mean actually great? Not like, "OH, geeze, I saw that movie in the theaters and it was cool."

People thought the new Godzilla movie was great when it came out, but now nobody even mentions it anymore. I can't even find it in my local redbox.

Dumb movies don't appeal to you because youre old and you're no longer in their demographic. The studios don't even give a poo poo about you, you aging pile of dog poo poo. Go just for men your gray rear end beard and try hitting on the old ladies rolling slots at the casino or something.

There's a difference between a movie that's just deliberately trying to be dumb for comedy, and then there's movies that are just dumb. Some current movies kind of fall into the former category, but most of them just fall into the latter.

Caddyshack is a good example. It's a dumb movie. But it is deliberately trying to be a dumb movie for comedy.
