Its a trend....
 

TO BASH MOVIES.

Everyone claims that the movies back in the day were "better" and "more creative"

and yes, hollywood blows for the birth of this whole recent remake craze. BUT BESIDES THAT..
THE TRUTH IS....THE MOVIES BACK THEN WERE JUST AS BAD.

Difference is, the internet didnt exist, so people didnt get to jump on the "lets bash every lil detail of a movie, until we cant enjoy it anymore...just so we can look like we know what we are saying"bandwagon(when in reality, no credit is given to the fact that ITS NOT EASY TO MAKE A MOVIE and even a shitty "jack frost" movie..still was super hard to make.

Everyone is a critic. and im sure if some of the movies that came out 20 years ago, came out today....eveyrone would bash them to the ground..BUTT because they are "classics" ..they are FANTASTIC!.

Im a fan of 80s horror. Cheesy..gory...sexist..horror..bad effects...bad acting ..etc

but the truth must be told..

the internet has turned everyone into nitpicking critics......people need to just kick back and enjoy the movie...disregard plotholes..disregard edits..and JUST ENJOY

cause 98% of us cant do better...so who are we to judge?

I hope this bashing trend ends soon...so cinema can just be what it is.

Hollywood has always been about money....its always been about putting out trash to make an extra dime..

Its not a new concept.


whats new is everyone thinking they know everything.

If they original TCM came out today..people would have bashed it just as much as the 2003 version...

u get what im saying?

You cant win...everyone's a critic.
Its a pitty....its hurts the art world.

People who arent musicians bash singers and bands...

people who arent directors bash directors...

art has become a " who can show they know more " sport.

People will find anything to critisize these days. But to be honest, i think we should give credit even to the shit directors..and shit movies(music etc)...because its still an attempt at art. No director or writer says "i want to make shit" They all are really trying to make their mark with a "classic". Even jokes like "troll 2".( It might have been a failed attempt..but an attempt either way).

So id rather commend the attempt and enjoy it for what it was..as apose to just bash away for the hell of it...

art in the 21st century is definitly changing...still cant tell if its for better..or worse

and this makes skoof sad.



sorry felt like ranting.

This thread sucks....back in my day threads were much better.

yeah but they took so long to embroider

Why does it have to be BACK IN THE DAY?
Get your ass moving and make some now.
I for one would enjoy it immensely,you are very entertaining.

It's kind of like bad news, we hear more because the coverage is so much better than before. We have access to so many movies so affordably now that we see more bad ones and hear more people bitching about what they think are bad ones.

haha 1 out of 4 responses actually stuck to the topic..

i commend u desp.

as for you newb....grrrrr stop being a wise asss. this could be a good lil debate.


And no the thread doesnt suck...YOUUUUU SUCKKK. I bet u didnt even read it.

lol

MOO HA HA


DISCLAIMER: NEWB DOES NOT SUCK.

I agree with you, SKOOFx. I try to give every movie a fair shake, and not prejudge, but sometimes it's hard to do so. See my comments on the rumored AvP2 for proof. As for the topic on hand, it's true that there was just as much crap back then, but it's different these days. The difference being that in the old days, the crap was pumped out by people like Ed Wood and Bert I. Gordon, and they actually believed in what they did, as delusional as that may seem. Today, "filmmakers" like Bruckheimer and Bay churn out awful garbage with the support of the studios. They are under no illusions that what they do is art, they just want to make a quick buck off the mindlessness of the herd. It's much easier to mock soulless stupidity, like Armageddon, for instance, than it is something like Plan 9.

I ask people directly,what do you like?
Then I put a couple of their suggestions on Netflix and decide for myself.
I have been pleasantly surprised by a few movies I never even considered.

The internet is a breeding ground for nerds, geeks and misfits who use it to propagate their anxious opinions and try to shout louder than the last message poster who might disgree.

All from the safety of their own homes, and free from the audible or physical backlash they would likely encounter should they speak up like this in direct social situations.

Of course, there are more casual users who don't take things so terribly seriously and probably prefer to mix with friends they regularly meet in the flesh - perhaps they see the inherent evolutionary dangers of mass overfamiliarised communication through computer screens, who knows?

Thank the Lord we're all switched on here at HDC!

:p

P.S. TCM 2003 rools, TCM 1974 sux

It looks like your thread is back on topic and I agree with you SKOOFx, this newb is a real prick and i for one would be the first to vote to ban his ass.He never stays on topic and ruins plenty of threads. It pisses me off almost as much as the eternal clash between mayonnaise and Miracle Whip.

Many people mistakenly believe they are the same thing. They are not. Bargain brands of either are also quite different than the original. The closest to homemade mayonnaise is Best Foods/Hellman's, and the next best is Kraft. Other brands differ widely in taste and texture. The cheaper you go, the farther you get from the taste of actual mayonnaise, which should be fluffy, eggy, and without noticeable vinegar. That's because you really do need to break some eggs to make real mayo, and the lesser varities tend to have less egg, and cheaper oils.

Miracle Whip is a unique product. It does seem to start out much like mayonnaise, but has additional sugar and vinegar, which defines it as a salad dressing. (mayo has no sugar, or a tiny amount) I've tried and failed to duplicate it my own kitchen.
