there were no bad movies before 1998. now george lucas runs the ministry of culture & will not let michael haneke remake code unknown for the chinese markets.

i'm not angry that action/scifi movies exist. i'm not even annoyed that action/scifi movies exist. like i said i'm not a film snob by any stretch and i enjoy action/scifi movies every once in a while, and there are plenty of really great, well-made ones! just annoyed that it seems like there are basically 4-6 good hollywood movies made per year out of the 500-600 that are released per year. like i said i don't fault any actor for taking the money for some bullshit, i would probably do the same, it's more a yearning for some decent movies and a desire to see good actors rewarded with more good roles and good movies! it's also more a yearning for hollywood to make movies for people other than 12-24 year old males and little kids

movies for people other than 12-24 year old males and little kids
after having kids I now realize just how few movies in the theaters are actually appropriate for children - at any given time there's usually one, and that's it. The 12-35 (or whatever range it is) of males is really the demo everything is targeted to. Everybody else is just expected to suck it up.

that's fair. just hard to do 11 out of 12 months a year when you want to go a movie theater to see something.
― marcos, Friday, 6 June 2014 16:43 (ten years ago) link
I wouldn't mind all of the comic book and superhero shit if it felt like it was still neatly balanced out by more movies for adults. and I'd mind it less if every franchise didn't feel the need to saturate the screens with sequels and spinoffs every other month. it's pretty exhausting.

johnson is probably one of the best directors you could hope was attached to a franchise like this. it's not like johnnie to was going to sign on, or something.
brothers bloom was the most slavishly imitative wes anderson ripoff in a wide field of wes anderson ripoffs. it wasn't terrible, but honestly i don't remember a thing about it other than being amazed at how overt the wes anderson borrowings were.
