You're aware that cinema is going to die, right? And it's all the fault of these shitty capeshit movies! Movies aren't made to be fun, they're made to make you THINK! Obviously, some movies will provide social critiques, whilst being entertaining like the excellent Fight Club (David Fincher, 1999), which considered by many to be an absolutely KINO masterpiece. But films that are nothing more than an escapist shit, like blockbusters, Star Wars, Marvel, DC, animated films, etc - don't even COUNT as art, because the DEFINITION (and don't even try to argue, this is the definition according to the specialist in the area of film) says that you need to go out of the theaters THINKING, and not be excited like a little child. Movies are art, not entertainment! THAT is why I boycott these types of "movies", yet complain about them on an anime image-board. It's strange to think that the same media that produced Eraserhead (David Lynch, 1977) and A Clockwork Orange (Stanley Kubrick, 1971) produces trash like Avengers nowadays. I didn't watch it, and never will. It's sad to see that your cinematographic view is reduced to the level of an underemployed normie that watches super hero movies.
Now, let me watch an ACTUAL movie - appreciating it's artistic value and critiques to society. If you ever want to talk to me again, I suggest you at least watch movies like Schindler's List, Ordinary People and The Killing Fields so you can develop your brain a little and acquire an actual critical view over this medium.
>You're aware that cinema is going to die, right? And it's all the fault of these shitty capeshit movies! nope technology. Cinemas used to be theonly place you could ever watch movies. Now we have phones that do that.
They didn’t though. It was obviously crafted as bait from the beginning.

I don't see how cinema is dying. It's been less than a year since the last Terry Gilliam movie, the last Lars von Trier movie, the last Gaspar Noe movie and the last fucking Orson Welles movie. Only two years ago they gave an entire television series to David Lynch. Film is going great. Have sex.
Sadly, this is true for every industry nowadays. We're stuck between decent but expensive products and very cheap ones. There's no middle ground anymore.

Literature is definitely dying because you're unable to properly write one goddamn sentence without making a mistake. Fuck's sake. Also, music is definitely not dying, only hip hop is getting worse.
Zachary Reed
cringe ironic retard

SL one of the most overrated movies of alltime

What if never want to talk to you again you whiny faggot?

Nice blogpost

True, it's gotten to the point where writers/directors don't even know what makes a good movie. It's weird how most folks don't even have a criteria for a good movie, just the fact that there's pretty colors and flashy lights is enough for most people. I don't get why people think these shitty blockbusters are good despite rarely having a defense for why

>hey're made to make you THINK! Obviously, some movies will provide social critiques, whilst being entertaining like the excellent Fight Club (David Fincher, 1999), Fucking based. I don't fully agree with you, but what you said about Fight Club and Clockwork Orange is absolutely based
Grayson Phillips
Have sex.

All of those people are fucking old. There are no young great directors anymore. Directors are only hired to make big retarded CG spectacles for the Chinese audience now.
Ian Perry
The film crash and the videogame crash will be glorious. I hope they happen at the same time.
Adam Ramirez
No one wants to go to the theaters anymore. Blockbusters and capeshit are what's keeping cinema alive. While indie fuckos are making movies on iPhones and releasing on VOD, Star Wars TLJ made +1B and was shot on film.
Ayden Diaz
This is bait, you retards. But there are people who seriously think that capeshit is going to singlehandedly destroy cinema...
Matthew Hall
>there are people who seriously think that capeshit is going to singlehandedly destroy cinema... It already has. You just don't know it yet.
>its not art because people actually WANT to go watch it
Liam Hughes
I don't understand. How does this mark the end of cinema?
Ethan Cox
it isn't. You're just a reactionary moron. Cinemas are competing with "stay at home and watch netflix all night." They're being killed by the progression of technology as people went from HAVING to go to the cinema to watch something to being able to watch something at any time on their phone.
This reactionary autism of looking at the outcome of industrial change and progress and blaming everything on that, while ignoring the reality.
Cinemas are going to die no matter what. This shift to tentpole event films that are serialized and MUST be "seen on the big screen" is the industry trying to create demand when there is none anymore.
Why do you pretend to care about cinema when you refuse to watch films that have a marketing budget lower than 20 million?

t. cucks that don't realize that the corporations who make this garbage will expect 10 times their investment back from now on and when they don't get it they'll shut down studios and lock intellectual properties away to be sold for exorbitant amounts of money
Eh, I don't think any corporations will start to expect 10 times the investment from every movie out there. You said they make garbage, so if their future garbage flops, then they'll shut down the trashy studios and sell the garbage IP. Isn't that good? I guess if that garbage happens to be part of a beloved IP, that could be a bummer, but I suppose some things should be locked away so that no further harm can be done. I ain't no cuck and I don't care about capeshit.
Nathaniel Thomas
>Isn't that good? Ask anybody that has played videogames for 10 years or more that question. Corporate inevitably fucks up the product and then kills the studio so they can lock it away and refuse to let go of it. Hell, sometimes the IPs get put down even if they do incredibly well solely because the publisher funding them doesn't like how much money they have to put in to get a return.
Jack Rodriguez
American cinema is dying, which is different because no one has ever give a fuck about it.
Matthew Reed

Oliver Lewis
>350 M$ to make capeshit That's ten (10!) average budget movies that will never see the day. Most classic movies fit in that production range.
ie. blockbusters syphon budgets and leaves a cultural desert in their wake.
Hudson Bennett
>t. cucks that don't realize that the corporations who make this garbage will expect 10 times their investment back from now on and when they don't get it they'll shut down studios and lock intellectual properties away to be sold for exorbitant amounts of money not an argument. You're still refusing to acknowledge the reality that "making people leave their house to be entertained" isn't something that cinemas get to rely on anymore. It used to be that if you wanted to watch something you HAD to go to a place that showed it. Now most production companies and distributors would rather just just dump things into streaming services at essentially no expense. The only things that they're bothering to show in cinemas are giant tentpoles. >and when they don't get it they'll shut down studios and lock intellectual properties away to be sold for exorbitant amounts of money good let them eat each other. Let them ruin their IPs. This is heading towards a new wave of new media entertainment made for cheap and distributed for nothing.
And the irony is that you're likely the kind of reactionary that does all this autism to justify why you never go to the fucking movies LOL. You likely watch goddamn YouTube and twitch and all these new media platforms that are actually the reason that cinemas are dying. And instead of just recognizing that things change as technology progresses and enjoying it while it lasts, it's just "whine about things that you refuse to understand and miss everything cool as it's happening."
