This weird "Spielberg invented modern film." opinion is one of those ever present popular online theories that just kind of propagated out of people repeating what they heard elsewhere, but a few months in filmschool or having watched more than a handful of pre-70s films easily disprove it. He's massively influential but the extent of his influence is absurdly overstated.

Of course everyone hates those old Bond films starring that no-name Sean Connery.

Breetai posted:Iirc I saw one aew match where one of the wrestlers was in drag and their move on a downed opponent was to do a rupaul style death drop on their head which was amazing. That was probably Sonny Kiss! They are absolutely amazing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVdWm_4Rffk Also, in regards to Rush Limbaugh, yup, there's plenty of "RESPECT THE DEAD" crap going around. Of course, it was quickly pointed out that Rush Limbaugh had a (short-running, apparently) segment called "AIDS Update" where he would crack jokes about folks that had died from AIDS that day/week/whatever.

I'm the guy who thinks It's a Wonderful Life is OK but if they could just squeeze it down to 90 minutes and add a comeuppance scene for Potter it'd be truly great

Picnic Princess posted:The "you have to be respectful when someone dies" crowd is out in full force whining about how awful it is that anyone would be happy about it Anyone who says anything nice about Rush Limbaugh is also a garbage human being. The absolutely nicest thing you are allowed to say about him is, I saw something from a rabbi and to paraphrase "I never celebrate anyone's death, but there's certainly some I don't mourn." Or after Margaret Thatcher's death there was Comedian Sean Lock said "some people are throwing parties, I'm not. Just a couple of drinks and some snacks with friends"

There's also an alleged quote from Bette Davis going around (originally about Joan Crawford); "You should never say bad things about the dead, only good… [Rush Limbaugh] is dead. Good.” Ouch!

The basic plot of the movie that everyone remembers doesn't actually start happening until an hour into the run time.

With Rush Limbaugh gone, what'd happen to his radio empire of hate? Just goes on with a new younger person, except not as openly racist? edit: content  In response to a trailer of a Cruella live-action movie toanoradian has a new favorite as of 03:25 on Feb 18, 2021 |

Yeah my guess it's a conservative and outspoken Asian guy who's idea of poo poo talking is saying racist poo poo that would get a white guy's teeth kicked in, but they've always gotten away with it.

Whereas I would watch the backstory that leads to a woman making the conscious decision to skin 99 puppies to make a coat, but I suspect Disney aren't actually making that movie.

I do wanna see what happens when kids watch "Cruella" a bunch and then see "101 Dalmatians" for the first time.

Stagecoach is another pre-70s movie that's simple to understand. Just a bunch of strangers trying to get from point A to point B without getting killed by Apaches See, the reason you probably don't want to watch Stagecoach is that it's racist as hell

Dynastocles posted:Get a load of the guy who's never seen The Manchurian Candidate, Seconds, The French Connection, or any of Alfred Hitchcock's films. I have, but let me rephrase it to slower, more rigid, and less stimulating then, because the point wasn't that all films pre-1975 are bad, they're just different and I can see why some people struggle to enjoy them if their exposure is primarily the last 10, 30, or even 50 years of film. Its like how Little Richard songs now seem like they're at moderate tempo because fast music now is speed metal and chipmunk-electronica. As for Spielberg, rarely is a new style made up from whole cloth. Trends and quirks bubble up from different creatives, and someone comes along and syncs them together in such a way that it becomes the template others are copying. Maybe he doesn't deserve credit for defining modern cinema, but he deserves credit for putting a stake through the heart of meandering, bloated New Hollywood garbage films for which we should all be grateful.

Both had big-name celebrities and were dirt cheap to license because they were box office duds. Probably why movies like Proof of Life and 50 First Dates were always on when I had cable. (I also remember seeing the last half hour of Fight Club probably a dozen times before I decided to actually sit down and watch the whole thing.)
