bohemund Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I wish Steph could read this, but anyhow I'd like to give my point of view or experiences in regards to this. Obviously I loved movies growing up, but as I got older and more cynical I started to see the corrosive effect they have on society, and I sort of 'checked out' of watching newer movies. All I could see was actors acting against a fake backdrop; the stories didn't matter to me anymore. All I could see was my own cynicism reflected back at me from the screen. Since I 'talk to the screen' when I watch movies with me wife, soon she was in the same boat. Anyhow, it was around this time (maybe 6 years ago) that I started to watch more Molyneux, and spend my time watching things that challenge me, or make me smarter, or help me learn things. I've always had a love for Star Wars, since I was 9 years old, my single mother used to leave me home alone well into the evening. I would watch Star Wars and I can't express how thankful I am for that world George Lucas built. It saved me from being a lonely kid by myself; and gave me a world I could unleash my imagination in. I read all the books as I got older, played the games, and the universe was fleshed out and alive. Then one day J.J. Abrams came along and with one fell swoop of a pen decided everything I had spent my life reading and enjoying was no longer canon and his shitty 'reboot' movies were now Star Wars. I was so bitter, I just refuse to watch any of the new movies. Even for free. Add to that a movie on my Top 3 fav list: Master and Commander. A movie so flawlessly dedicated to the source material, incredible acting, the whole 9 yards. Made by Weinstein. Shit. I guess it doesn't take away from how good the movie is, but i will always have a sinking feeling in my stomach while watching it. P.S. I miss that mall too, I had many good memories there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ofd Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Time to watch Japanese, Korean or Russian movies. Most Hollywood movies nowadays have a shitty story and bad cinematography. Add to that ADHD cuts and you have the recipe for annoying movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boss Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 yea I dont watch many of the newer movies as most are done by Democrats promoting leftism. Maybe we can make a list of good movies? I can start with the obvious atlas shrugged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
