Given the reasons you hated 2009-2012 you should probably change it to 2009-current.

>3D movies still coming out and a new Avatar
>Warners is rumored to be making a multi film adaptation of the Simarillion
>more Transformers movies and now they are merging them into a cinematic universe with G.I. Joe
>Pirates 5 is coming out this year and Disney is making live action adaptations of all their classic movies with spinoffs for characters like Genie
>Marvel is still going

I guess you could say 2009-2012 was when the shittyness took hold, we as a culture could have rejected the shit they were giving us but we gave them our money instead now we're where we are now.

They reached an agreement with the Tolkien Trust. They're doing a multi-film adaptation of The Silmarillion and a bio pic about Tolkien himself. Also rumors of a TV series to be on Showtime.

Great, in-depth focus you have to start your thread.

The majority of films pre-1980 have extremely slow pacing that makes them boring.

What a gen y thing to say. I was born in 1990 and the shit I grew up with, though enjoyable as a youngster, is not all top-notch. Seems to me that trends lead into other trends, with only a couple of gems here and there. 90s were an extension of the blockbusters of the 80s, which were in turn caused by certain movies becoming big in the 70s. The 2000s saw a transition into more modern shit, and 9/11 did change certain tones, but overall it's all the same thing. The 2010s are basically the 80s movie-wise, only instead of Manly Action Movies you have things be more realistic in certain aspects, and movie companies trying to make money in factors of whatever the 80s made.

All the things you loved as a child are shit to someone older than you, and you yourself are starting to notice. This is fine though because it's not aimed at you. I feel the same way about current music and cannot stand top 40 when I used to play the radio nonstop before 2007.
