I never said anything about old people. I just think 80's movies seem to be more interesting than current movies. Even early 90's movies like Edward's Scissorhands are far more entertaining than current films.

trailers are designed to appeal the lowest dipshits on the totem pole, and can be actively off putting. Don't watch them

So, I'm guessing Jurassic World isn't as good as the trailers made it seem.

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. There are thousands and thousands of old movies. Only a few hundred are regularly played on TV. The worst drek gets filtered out.

Nightcrawler is a good example of how a well made movie about two cameramen who follows two common breaking-and-entering thieves can be a thousand percent more exciting than a lazy movie about a dozen superheroes throwing CGI monsters into crumbling buildings for two hours. What I'm saying is that superhero movies are crap and never exciting, and the glut of superhero movies is killing cinema. If you support the Marvel movieverse you are filth and you should stop going to movies.

It's not just you. All new hollywood movies consistently suck balls, predictable storyline, boring characters, generally made for the masses who want things spoon fed to them and don't actually want to think. It really grinds my gears that they spend millions on special effects and graphics but have a story that a 10 year old could write (Avatar is perhaps the biggest example of this). There are still good movies made, just few and far between. Back in the 80s/90s the ratio of poo poo:decent movies was a lot more favourable to the latter. lilljonas posted:What I'm saying is that superhero movies are crap and never exciting, and the glut of superhero movies is killing cinema. If you support the Marvel movieverse you are filth and you should stop going to movies. This is so true. They are all without fail utter abominations of films with zero imagination put into them. It's sad because a few well thought out Marvel films could have genuinely been good. Instead they churn them out of a factory and people lap them up.

It's not just superhero movies, it's all movies. Who the gently caress wants to see Ted 2? Really? Unless you're 16 years old and you're high as gently caress. Seth Mcfarland is taking you for all you've got.

It's sad because a few well thought out Marvel films could have genuinely been good. Instead they churn them out of a factory and people lap them up. I wish they had less budget because that forces more imagination. Why their Netflix stuff so far has proven to be a hundred times more fun to watch than just the CGI fest. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B66feInucFY Also after seeing what Game of Thrones did with practical effects for their giants, I can honestly say the very best CGI monsters look like crap compared and for a fraction of the budget. And also I think the best Marvel movie was Winter Soldier largely because the CGI was a secondary thing there and as you say, actual creativity was being used. The big problem right now they need to loving stop is the Badguy->McGuffin->Big City Fight formula. Again the only ones that didn't quite go that way was Winter Soldier and the first Iron Man. ED: Superhero films are this generation's Western. It'll never die as a genre but in the 50s you couldn't change the channel without finding two on at the same time, pretty much.

Burton has abused his sthick so much he could release Scissorhands today, if it had not come out in the 90s, and people would probably consider it a piece of poo poo.

90% of movies are poo poo, just like they were in the 80's. Caddyshack was awesome, but it was out at the same time as...... Holy poo poo. I just looked at a list of movies released in 1980. Empire Strikes back Airplane Raging Bull Blues Brothers The Shining 9to5 Fame Popeye Altered States Never mind, OP. Carry on. You're right.

there's tons of lovely 80s flicks but nobody remembers them, which is good a conversation to be had in 2045: "fury road's alright i guess, but why didn't any other action movies come out in 2015?"

There were bad movies back then too but no one remembers them. With that said outside of horror movies sequels were fairly rare. Good movies from more recent times: There Will Be Blood, Nightcrawler, It Follows, Killer Joe, the Jackass movies, Borat, etc.

Sure there were a lot of bad movies, but that's kind of dodging the point. The good movies from then are better than the good movies from now.
