Forge Posted August 27, 2022 Author Share Posted August 27, 2022 I haven't seen a good comedy in a while, though I did really enjoy game night a few years back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaiderX Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Saw NOPE yesterday. Outside of the cinematography and sound, the movie is a pretty disappointing mess. It was like US in a lot of waysin that it was a beautiful looking film but the story and characters were kinda lame. I enjoyed Get Out, but Peele is pretty overrated as a Horror director. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beekay414 Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 I did laugh a bit during Sleeping with Other People but that's because I'm a Jason Sudeikis stan. We're the Millers was quality but, for me, it has no rewatch value and that kills it. Wedding Crashers is the best comedy of the 2000s in my eyes.

Sudeikis is a god though so I expected it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacReady Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 The Outfit is my favorite movie of the year so far. Mostly because it’s the only movie released this year that I’ve actually enjoyed. Film is dying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure Matt Damon explained it a while back saying that risks aren't being taken because they can't double back on DVD sales like the past. It's either blockbuster or low budget. There's no in-between anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It presents opportunity in a lot of ways, and we’re seeing the most originality coming from streaming platforms that make their own content. It’s a loT of things though. I blame TikTok a lot more than I blame streaming. TikTok and other societal things that are dumbing society down. I have been going back to a lot of the great films of the past lately in lieu of trying new movies and the greats take attention. Even The Outfit takes attention. You watch an MCU movie and you can sit and watch TikTok while watching the movie and you won’t miss out on much. You watch Casino or The Godfather or any of Scorsese/FFC/vintage Spielberg or any of the great films (I’m talking great, not good), and you are missing valuable, film-shaping information. There are so many things leading to film’s demise right now that it might take ten years of radical sociological change to fix it. And this is a completely politics free post. It is possible for a “woke” movie to be great or a far right movie to be great. Politics have nothing to do with the demise of film right now. It’s just nobody is making great films because the audience isn’t there for it. Edited August 28, 2022 by Outpost31 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blaming TikTok is a "get off my lawn" level type of nonsense. Film is dying because there's no money in the old structure. That's really all there is to it and they haven't been able to adapt and apparently, neither have you.
