CineD and posters like SMG are so terrible that there are probably movie subreddits that are less awful look guys sometimes I just like to enjoy movies and not read someone writing 20 pages about the neo-marxist symbolism in baby geniuses 2 that he imagined

If you have not read the original script for terminator 2 you are completely missing out because you will never fully understand the movie as it was meant to be understood.

I like the threads where he gets into an argument with the guy with exhaustive knowledge of the Aliens extended universe canon, who believes that everything that happens in movies happens for real in-universe physics reasons and never because of metaphors or looking cool

You have to be able to let go, and let SMG gently guide your mind through a novel way of interpreting the universe and reality itself, tailor made for the movie or media he's talking about, and you will find nirvana, but before then you w ill be angry, and yoou will be baited into angrily posting in vain against his posting revolution

Davincie posted:coming in to say that superhero movies are trash I've been forced to watch some of the Spiderman films, Batman Begins, Iron Man, Avengers, etc and they all bored me to tears. I literally sit there starting at the clock, listening to the inane one-liners, the horrendously cliched characters, the awfully written, painfully predictable plotlines...ugh. Some of my friends love them all too. I don't understand why. What reaction will I get if I make a thread in CineD entitled 'All Marvel movies are mindless drivel'?

it's not even that smg has uh... unique opinions, its that he gets condescending when you don't agree and treats his analysis as objective fact and starts to make assumptions about people who don't agree with him putting him and other poo poo posters like cnut the great doesn't work because there will be about 100 people who will argue with them in each thread eventually turning every thread into a big pile of poo poo so it's best to just avoid CD entirely on the flip side the star trek thread in tviv is pretty chill most of the time now that tviv's pedophile overlord has been banished

JiveHonky posted:if everyone knows so much about how to make a good movie how come they all suck Most movies today are made by masters of the visual arts (badly shot movies like Avengers or Pacific Rim are the exception). We're so used to amazing spectacles that it's become background noise to us----something like Avatar can pass through our collective gaze like a plastic bag in the wind. If movies are our chosen cultural art form, the way frescoes were to the Romans or making penises and vaginas in funny hats out of pewter was to Medieval People, then along with our culture the form has grown stagnant.... with nowhere to go artistically but more excessive, visually rich but thematically shallow. As a meth-marked hobo was saying while he blew and tongued me last night, the current dried-up state of our cinemas reflects a growing impoverishment of American intellectual culture...... gone are the great boyfuckers like Gore Vidal; in his place, the bloated and eternally turgid pundits of 24 hour news fill oru minds with garbage...
