Bad time Period for Movies
Posted on 11/22/24 at 8:36 pm

Would you agree or is it a commonly thought thing that we are in a bad time period for movies? It seems time after time these days movies are overdramatized or disappointing for another reason and we also have less quantity of good movies. Do you agree? Ex in my option:
Gladiator 2
Elvis
Irishman
Killers of Flowermoon
Oppenheimer
And these were considered the biggest movies coming out.

It is a commonly thought thing here.
I have no idea how you grouped these 5 movies together. I don't even know how you landed on them as "the biggest movies coming out." Gladiator 2 and Oppenheimer are by far the biggest releases of those, and they shared release dates with bigger movies.

I agree wholeheartedly. I enjoy going to the movies but there’s rarely much that interests me lately.
I’m sick of superhero flicks and sequels. Innovative and thought provoking films seem like things of the past.

No originality right now. What was the last original movie that had cultural impact, Inception? That’s coming up on 15 years ago.

The whole Super Hero thing is played out. Generally same formula over and over. It’s kinda of like what monster movies were back in the late 50’s and early 60’s.

I'm honestly torn on this. When you look back 30 years ago you don't remember all the shite that came out, and you'll bunch movies from 5 years or even a decade apart as coming out at the same time.
There are great movies coming out, they just aren't all triple A releases.
Oppenheimer was good, I thought Across the Spideyverse and Dungeons and Dragons were better last year though. Obviously a movie like dungeons and dragons won't go down as an all time classic because it is pretty meta, but spideyverse animation was something we've never seen before.
I do wonder if people will be able to go back and watch movies like that the way we do classic movies that were filmed before HD and CGI.
I also think our standards for movies have raised a lot. When watching old movies it seems I'm more willing to forgive something cliché or cheesy because it's from a simpler time.

I haven’t watched either of those because 3 hours is a chore.

The larger problem is period pieces are typically not “blockbuster” status historically. And film companies have moved into a mindset if it isn’t making blockbuster type money they don’t want to produce it.
A24 is the exception to this IMO.

I think it’s the mindset of quantity over quality. Hell it’s like an assembly line. New movies popping out daily. And even the streaming services like Hulu and Tubi are in the movie making game.

I just grouped these together because these are the last 5 or so movies that caught my attention and I sought out to see in theatres. I really like time pieces and / or movies based or cultural significance.
And while I understand you do not recall movies of past, if I google a random year, for instance 1995 (and I did randomly google 1995), below are movies from 1995:
Heat
Braveheart
Se7en
Casino
The Usual Suspects
Jumanji
Toy Story
Apollo 13
I mean, cmon.

Right. You took a handful of movies that you have noticed, released across the past 6 years, and you're comparing that handful, most of which are highly regarded, against the blockbusters (or popular prestige films) of a single year. That's strange process.
Movies don't occupy the top spot in pop culture that they did in the 90s, but only noticing period pieces from octagenarian filmmakers is definitely a you thing. Sounds like you're not actively seeking out new movies, which is totally fine. I think it's weird to assume they do not exist, as so many people here do.
As far as the past goes, if I look at my own lists, I see that the 50s produced more great films than the 40s and the 60s, the 80s were much worse than the 70s, the 00s were better than the 90s (which were an improvement from the 80s), and the 10s were down from the 00s. Shite goes up and down, and you're preferences (as in everyone's) are heavily dependent on when you grew up.
There were around 15 films released in 2023 that I absolutely loved. There were around 20-30 more that I liked. There were a ton that ranged from mediocre to garbage. There were around 15 films released in 1995 that I absolutely loved. There are around 20 more that I liked. There were many that ranged from mediocre to garbage. 1995 is probably my favorite film year of the 90s. Maybe 1992.
Jumanji had a really cool premise for anyone under the age of 13 and a game Robin Williams. It's not a good movie. Future adults who were 12 in 2017 when the new Jumanji with the Rock came out will also have those nostalgia feelings around that movie.

you are spot on
it is hard for people to recognize their own bias, to the individual it seems they are being objective.
reminds me of the south park episode where randy puts on the headset and all he hears is fart noises

You know anybody who talks about 2017 Jumanji or its sequel and quotes either movie? No you don’t but people still quote and reference the original.

do you think anyone in their 20s is quoting the original jumanji?
just because you are ancient doesn't mean others are. the culture moves on without you.

The what year is it meme is more popular with 20 something’s than anything from the recent movies.

Coping hard isn’t the same thing as making a point. One day you will realize that.
Posted on 11/23/24 at 11:33 am to Madking
what does this have to do with coping. go grab a sample of 100 people in their 20s and 99 of them have never posted a "what year is it" meme.
internet culture is not the same as general population culture.
