With the rise of widespread broadband, the Internet has shortened the window for cultural relevancy. Avatar was probably the last truly massive blockbuster.

Culture shifts too fast for films to act as as a cultural milestone now.

Unless you mean there aren't good films being made anymore. In that case you're just being a whiny contrarian.

Went to the movies yesterday, these were the previews

>"the big sick" a heartfelt film about a pakistani man and a white women overcoming racial stereotypes im their relationship

>"megan leavey" a story about a woman marine in afghanistan with her dog

>"three billboards outside ebbing missouri" anti police film

>"atomic blondie" a lesbin spy in east berlin

>"baby driver" jon hamm and kevin spacey with some driving prodigy who is a professional get away driver (most promising of the lot)

The state of kino in 2017 is bad

the business changed. theres no money in film anymore, no dvd sales/rentals, too much pirating. its not worth it to make mid-budget drama films, its either 100 million dollar action/comic book shit or mediocre 1-5 million indie drama.

Atomic Blonde actually ruined my movie because I was watching Fate of the Furious and her character was such an ultra-SJW girlpower bitch that I actually began hating Charlize Theron, then I had to watch virtually the exact same character and damn I am lucky that there were no tall blondes on my way out.

Hollywood has been dying since the 90s. In the 2000-2010 timeframe, it was already hobbled but still showing occasional signs of life. Now it is in its death throes.

>>83105525
This. All the people pirating stuff are part of the problem. Filmmakers have to be able to make a living. Maybe new business models, like direct sales online, will take the place of the old.
>>
>>83105525
nah sorry retard.
there's plenty of talented people who can make a great movie economically. studios are just mired in corporate politics so that they don't take risks for their own dumb reasons, and some studios like Sony are just run by SJW maniacs like Amy Pascal. Paying them more money wouldn't make it any better, they need to collapse

>>83105108
Movies started going downhill at the start of the 2000s, and have steadily gotten worse since.

Before there was more variation and original ideas, now it's all sequels, prequels and reboots. And most of them are capeshit.
>>
>>83108476
>>83105525
>too much piracy

this is offset by the fact that nowadays you can make an indie feature like Blue Ruin, The Babadook, The Void or It Follows for as little as $500,000 total budget, and it can have the same visual fidelity and better cinematography / pacing than a $100+ million Hollywood blockbuster - as long as you've got the filmmaking prowess and directing talent to do it well. For amateur filmmakers like this, any exposure is good - including piracy. Word of mouth and discussion allows them to sign their movie on services like Netflix, and can propel them into the world of high-budget filmmaking.

>>83105108
Nah. There are always way more shitty movies coming out than there are gems. We just forget about all the shitty movies from the past and only remember the gems. The same is going to be true about movies made today, when we look back at 2017 from 20 years in the future

my grandpa feels the same way about movies from the 1930's and 40's; he says movies have all steadily been going downhill since then as he blissfully watches corny shit like Mr Smith Goes to Washington. Just because you personally prefer older movies doesn't mean the newer ones are actually bad. You probably just have a predisposition to dislike things that aren't nostalgic to you or that remind you of present day society

>>
a lot of the time, your experience watching a new movie is ruined by the hype surrounding it and its annoying fanbase championing it as the best thing ever. With old movies, nobody ever talks about them anymore so you very rarely are going to have expectations set too high. Most of the time, in fact, people's expectations of older movies are automatically lowered just because they are old

the amount of shit produced and gaining exposure compared to gems has increased objectively. i think people go to movies nowadays to watch vfx badaboom and most thriller-drama transitioned to tv format ie westworld, got, mr robot, etc.

previously vfx weren't cheap and abundant so they had to come up with interesting plot. now they throw in a bunch of 3d, make money and be done with it.

also top directors like cameron, scorcese, fincher, boyle etc are getting old with no replacement, same with actors and screenwriters

>the business changed.

And the Jews refuse to adapt.

They refuse to accept the fact that technology destroyed the monopoly they once had on film distribution, and instead of adapting by adopting a new business model, they're sticking with the same shit that died along with the last century.

Why not develop company computer servers and launch your films directly to the customer on-line? Why not stop wasting money delivering individual film stock to individual theaters and just send it to them digitally on-line? Why not develop a studio server system that allows the customer to stream ANY of a studio's films ever made, including behind the scenes shit?

Nah, fuck that. Let's just stick with what worked the last century and bitch about "pirates".

Fuck those Jew motherfuckers, and their shitty films.

you find that out from your crystal ball? You have no idea what the kids of today will be like as adults in the future, or even what the adults of today will be like when they're 20 years older.

People are always nostalgic about the past. In 2037, people will probably be having this exact same discussion, only they'll be asking why nobody makes movies like No Country for Old Men, Whiplash or even Interstellar anymore

There is actually a system they're developing where you would get access to new release movies (in theaters) 3 weeks from release for like $50 rental. Pretty high unless it's a movie you're going to invites friends over to watch one night instead of going to the theaters.

I used to think this, but then I watched consumer standards continue to plummet as people are more willing by the day to pay for the ever advancing Jewery in every single industry. It's no wonder the quality of the average product continues to drop. That's not to say there aren't still gems.
>>
>>83111836
I was alive in the middle of the 90s and it was worse than it is today. But there was room for improvement back then, studios took risks and movies with medium budgets still existed. A couple of years later the made Matrix, for instance. That will.never happen again and you're delusional to think otherwise

>>83105392
I agree but the last couple of years have been exceptionally bad for cinema.

>>83105108
Well over 90% of films have been shit after the late 2000s. Well over 90% of films were shit before the late 2000s as well. The film industry has always been a huge swamp of shit where you'd have to wade through the swamp to find the occasional nugget of gold, and the only difference between then and now is that now you're experiencing them coming out in real-time and having to wade through the swamp yourself instead of only seeing the gold other people had already found for you.

>>
>>83109719

uhh, someone has to put up the money for the film to get made. you can cherry pick examples where a successful indie film made a profit, the point is, back before mass pirating, there was a profit motive for filmmaking because you had theatrical run, rental run, then purchase run. so more films were being made. and there was a mid level, where you could take a risk on a 10 million - 50 million budget film. which is where a lot of great films from the past 30 years existed. now there is no mid level, its either super high budget, or low budget, 5 million or lower.

As a matter of fact, yes.

Lobby for a critical thinking class. Become a teacher. Teach other teaches how to teach children to be critical thinkers who stay away from trash like this that just rots their brains and takes time off their life with no productivity.

are you retarded? we still talk about mozart and duchamp. Of course nobody is likely to watch "nine lives" with kevin spacey on 2590, but that doesn't mean you'll only listen to a limited bunch, moreso because now we have a little something called THE INTERNET where everything is everywhere and shit hardly gets lost forever. You might end up with an awful digital reproduction of something that looked amazing and pristine on film, but i doubt movies worth saving will be lost in time, at least not for a few centuries. After that, humanity itself might go to the gutter and nobody will care about movies or music anyways

Here's the other problem. Most kids these days view anything and everything before 2000 as old and not ever worth a look. Which is odd because when I was younger I don't remember there being a stigma around what year a movie came out. I was 10 in 95 and would watch films like Indiana Jones and back to the future all the time. I never stopped and said "ewww this is old no thanks" but most kids and teens feel that way.

100% agree with you OP.
This year has to be the worst by far.
Nothing I've seen has been memorable and I've been quite picky. Nothing on the menu for the rest of the year looks worthy of viewing. I terminated my movie-going for the remainder of the year after seeing : Covenant.

Seems like the whole year is packed with SJWism, empty female leads, social commentary, empty plots, and propaganda. Nothing inspiring/deep/forward thinking. Even Blade Runner looks cringe worthy with dindu looking Ryan Gosling... Complete garbage.

I'd argue we are actually seeing a mass resurgence to TV.

Major pay to watch stations are basically leading the fray when it comes to thrillers/mysteries. Hell Game of Thrones is basically defining the sword and sorcery genre as part of TV.

Moving from 26 episode seasons to 10 max is also meaning far tighter narratives and better pacing controls.

This video reminds me of a group of early 20s women that sat next to my family at a restaurant few months back. I shit you not for an hour straight they took photos of each other, their food, then passed their phones around so their friends could take photos of them and there food. For AN HOUR and the kicker?? They said maybe 3 to 4 words to each other the entire time.

150 mil budget, 379 mil box office

what's the problem?

Why can't they comprehend that there points in cultures where things go up, and also where things go down

We are currently going down hard
(because of jews and leftists)

I think movies are a dying art form and VR is just about to explode. Once all the creatives jump on to this brave new world, there WILL be original and fresh properties again because the old fuddy duddies will fail at adapting all the old crap to VR so we'll need all new stuff.

This, the industry has kept growing and evolved into its final form, the mid budget flick is dead and so is innovation

Yeah, the saving grace has been a number of quality tv shows.

I can understand it and I see it.
What would you say ends up being the focus of the intelligent people during these times?
>>
>>83114116
but by then we all will have thousands of movies saved somewhere and, in case we still have computers, we could trade YIFYes, or meet at some dystopian garage where some priviledged person who still owns a computer screens whatever movies they have left.. scenarios are more complex than you'd asume, and i hardly see movies being "gone forever". If they were, people would find a way to keep them alive, like.. stage actors playing "terminator 2" for future generations.

People were pissed off about sequels in the 80s and 90s. I like how it left out Aliens and the Empire Strikes back. Or Chinatown 2

>"In other news, a local high school teacher was fired today for allegedly beginning a class with a number of anti-semetic remarks, and later claiming that 'Islam was God's punishment for miscegenation'"

Yeah, good luck spreading the real knowledge in this environment.

Everyone says this about every decade; shitting on the 90's is no different. Boomers are always looking back at pictures of themselves wearing bell bottoms and disco suits in the 70's and going "WTF were we thinking?"

Gen-Xers do the same with the 80s and their poofy hair / clashing colors, and now millennials are trashing the 90's

the exact same thing has already happened to the music industry, and music certainly is not dead.

>its not worth it to make mid-budget drama films, its either 100 million dollar action/comic book shit or mediocre 1-5 million indie drama.
You seriously think all indie drama is mediocre? So only people hired by big Hollywood studios - who've been granted budgetary permission by the Jews who run the show there - can possibly make good dramas? fuck outta here with that shit.

There are tons of would-be filmmakers who could've made fantastic directors in the past if it weren't so hard to just get the right Hollywood connections to get noticed. Nowadays you hardly even need Hollywood to make a good drama, because the barrier to entry for making a film is so much lower than it used to be.

what were some good movies from the early 2000s? LOTR is extremely overrated
>>
>>83105108
Hollywood fell off a cliff after 2004 and its death rattle ended in 2008. The 2010s have been shit compared to the 2000s and the 90s.
>>
>>83115112
you have to admit that since then it's been pretty flat. 2008 happened. Studios greenlit more and more adaptations of established franchises (comics, video games, tv series, etc) to try to maximize profits. A movie's box office performance is now measured in weeks, not even months. All is going faster now.
I miss the nineties.
>>
>>83105108
stop watching exclusively Hollywood

Because we know it doesn't happen that fast and it isn't going down.
