Who the fuck can save us from the death of cinema? In 2017,

there's a lot of foreing films out there better than anything made in hollywood, but if you are talking exclusive in hollywood that can beat capeshit and starwars, in Denis Villeneuve we trust

Hollywood is beyond saving.

They've seen how much money you can make by making safe, easy, lazy, commercialized movies that they can then franchise for years to come.

My advice to you is to stop caring about it, there is a nearly endless wealth of incredible movies already out there, watch those. I know you haven't seen most.

>>84204742
Eventually someone will figure it out and churn out a bunch of low-budget plot-driven movies and make a lot of money, then the rest of the majors are going to rethink the tentpole thing. It would be easier if the chinks weren't still eating up the worst crap we put out.

Blame the pleb audiences for gobbling up all this shit

So don't watch Hollywood? There's plenty of worthwhile film being made, even in America. Try Malick, Jarmusch, etc.

what the fuck
is every single person in society supposed to be some sort of enlightened fedora master?

Hollywood is heading to a crash. Might not be very soon, but only a catastrophic even could change the current status quo of money-making blockbusters.

This. In the foreseeable future I don't see hollywood improving unless >>84204910
comes true. Otherwise this trend will continue until a crash.

he's not really wrong though. They might not know any better but that's not really an excuse. Ignorance isn't the same as innocence. Lowest common denominator mean anything to you?

Why does Del Toro get so much love?
I'm not saying that he's a bad director, I loved "The Devils Backbone". I'm wondering because looking at his IMDb page, he didn't really make a lot of movies.
What are some of his essential works?

Prepare for a movie that will change your lives for the better. See you fags in 2022.

everybody ascending is an impossibility
there will always be idiots
idiots existed in the 70s and 80s but movies back then were gold

Because he stays true to his style and is (mostly) original. Of course he does adaptations, but he never strays from his unique style of making movies and that is something that is missing from Hollywood

>>84205185
I won't argue that, but movies didn;t used to pander to them in order to make maximum profits. Lowest common denominator. That's the new philosophy.

>>84205252
nice to see we agree

>Fast and Furious franchise
>Transformers
>Star Wars
>Harry Potter / extraordinary beasts
>Marvel
>James Bond

Get used to the age of CU or shut up.

But in seriousness, western cinema is dead.

They're very hit or miss. Wouldn't call the Daniel Craig era great.

Nothing is truly original, everything is a derivative of something.

There is hope.

Avatar is the worst example of modern cinema. Right up there with super hero films and the soulless new Star Wars movies

>>84204819
He's making a Bladerunner flick that nobody really wants but sure, trust him.
