Today no one makes any great movies, they're all bad, and being into film is a really lame hobby.

Ford v Ferrari played it completely safe, just corporate schlock. Maverick was a one-off curveball that everyone admitted could never even have been made 1 year later than it was due to the rise of woke nonsense in Hollywood.

Now think back that a film like Ocean's 11 which was a B+/A- crowd pleaser from a quarter century ago if it came out today would be considered the greatest movie of the last 15 years and it wouldn't even be close.

At the end of the day the only characters I really cared about were Tanya McQuoid and the Italian hookers.

good stuff is still getting made, it just doesn't get a wide release. im a member of my local art house cinema. but because only a small niche arty crowd consumes and makes this shit it tends to play to their tastes (re: shitlib). so yeah, shit sucks relatively.

Art films suck now too. The Lighthouse? WTF is this crap? Peanut Butter Falcon was alright and the best one was Uncut Gems. But even these films are like 100x suckier than they were before.

I often think of scenes that would make it into the trailer. We could probably write, direct, and cut a trailer for a Zozo film for like 10-15k.

I think the main plot of the film should be about a poaster who thinks it's a good idea to summon Arkan to return and blow up everyone's identity with his magic script. I dunno just spitballing here.

who would star in it

It also doesn't help that movie tickets are 1000k now and popcorn is 50,000k and theatres only exist in the dindu thunderdome where you could get your car stolen.

Kooky how live sports are the only events that get consumers to leave the house anymore lol

agree. It had a few good moments but was ultimately hallow, just like everything else in modern tv. The reason for that is obvious. Modern shows are great at identifying a major underlying problem with society but have no solution for it (because actual morality is obsolete). So then they just abruptly end and you feel empty. This is why older shows still have meaning because they still had something resembling morality.

it does have some glimmers of hope. saxon might become less of a soulless person. loch sees god. the show is saying that the root of modern problems is that without something beyond our own self like community or God things will be soulless. the ratliff boys show that regaining that is the solution. but belinda and piper show that that solution is unlikely. which rings true to me.

the hollowness is on purpose and the show is saying that it's unlikely for society or human nature to change so you gotta do it for yourself. God is dead and society isn't going to force people to be moral and unselfish.

Pretty sure we're all Godless now.

succumbing to hopelessness and conforming to modern soullessness is easy. doing the right thing when most people aren't isn't. and while systemic change is always unlikely, you can still make the world better in your own sphere of influence.

Rahm Emanuel admitted the other day that Trump is "right in his diagnosis" even if he's "wrong in his solutions." Since the left doesn't have any solutions (or hasn't offered any) I can only assume that Trump is the only person doing anything about the diagnosis right now. And he also happens to be the President. Most of this is entirely out of my hands.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5708749&forum_id=2#48835907)

but remember how i was cautioning being realistic about what trump would do? big changes are unlikely to happen at any given moment but are certain to happen over a long enough period. they're black swan events.

all im saying is don't succumb to despair. in 2016 lots thought we won. in 2021 lots thought it was all over. in 2025 lots thought we won.

it's possible to be hopeful while accepting it's a long shot. if you place all your hope that the next thing is gonna be the big thing you're gonna wind up disappointed 99% of the time. this wasn't a generational opportunity. the sun will come up tomorrow.

on top of that things are trending the right way. there's more reason than ever to be hopeful. 10 years ago we were looking down the barrel of globalist versus globalist forever which is why tbf thought the solution was a redneck revolution.

something's gotta give. it always does. might not happen in your life though. hence build a moat + rage against the dying light.

But its also incredibly raw and graphic - similar to all movies now.

Scripts in the 90s were just way more polished. They had multiple character arcs, plot twists, and conflicts that were wrapped up in a bow.

Hollywood for some raeson decided that shit was too contrived, so they starated making things with less coherent plots and more true to life. But movie goers don't really want true to life. They want beautiful people, saying clever things, doing things that will never happen in real life.

I'm sure Anora is good. I will watch it eventually. I'm not dropping everything to go see it. I think there's something really wrong with Zoomer culture too where it's like EVERYTHING IS JUST PORN. Porn got into every aspect of society to where now every chick is a sex worker and so serious dramatic films are now about sex workers because that's what chicks think real people do.

Imagine watching "Hook" and telling people in 1991 "Some day nothing remotely like this will exist and most films will basically be porn."

Idiocracy was a documentary.

I've actually met a ton of Russian people who fled to France. Some of them speak English so bad that I can understand their French better. Paris is like Moscow Jr now.
