I actually blame digital cameras making expensive film feel obsolete. (Also that all the big studios are obsessed with franchise building so no film can simply be self-contained and now always includes at least 15 minutes of totally extraneous material meant as sequel hooks)

Okay, followup: who came up with 'last film in a series is unjustifiably split into two movies', because that's who I want to go back in time and kill.

Then the CD came along and bumped that up to a hour and nineteenth minutes (It was to fit all of Beethoven's 9th symphony in a single play.) Then pop music albums split off into two qualities. - (pop music = rock, electronic, rap, country, some Latin-America music (tin pan alley);___ not pop = non-western classical, folk, western/classical, jazz, pre-1945-ish) 1) Albums with, at most, three enjoyable songs, and the rest garbage, - (before that, the non-popular tracks were respectable enough and able to define one's own taste and create new genres.) 2) Albums where all the songs had some potential, but it was all squandered from efforts being spread too thin and becomes a mush of the band's style. Reading novels ....errrereaahhaaaajrpgsrrrrahfulata s After reading Wittgenstein and getting deep into James Joyce, most novels just look sloppy. mazzi Chart Czar has issued a correction as of 21:07 on May 27, 2021 |

i havent seen seven samurai but i looked it up and they forgot to put colour in it? so i guess its not as good as batman versus superman extended blood of superman edition but neither are as good as when in blade 2 blade has to team up with a team of vampire assassins to fight super vampires who prey on vampires

I'll have you know this is but one of several cspam threads I irregularly participate in. I also sometimes browse some of the faster moving threads like the Glenn thread but without posts I concede I cannot prove this yet validation is very important to me, give me a ribbon please indigi posted:Detective Pikachu was absolutely serviceable as an excuse to do CG Pokémon in a real world, but I can’t remember a single thing about it storywise It's rarely the SFX that are a problem with movies imo, hell I enjoy early cgi like last starfighter or Merlin where its texture is way too smooth even. I don't care if it's computers or puppets, is the story actually fun or interesting is the real question a Loving Dog posted:i watched eXistenZ again last week and i liked it a lot more than when I was a teen and didn't really "get" it. ive also grown to appreciate Cronenberg a lot in that time and i think it was the first movie of his I had ever watched I actually haven't seen that one despite  Cronenberg, genuine thanks!

yeah there are a lot of people who are anti Joyce. But eh, talking about joyce, bad or good, is basically agreeing that his works are important.

Bootleg Trunks posted:This cinematic masterpiece is bad now to enjoy some literal feces that the cia/mic churns out 4 times a year A good piece of art is consensus that everybody thinks is good. Or if people hate that art, they have a specific reason why, but can still respect aspects of it. High Art, because it doesn't dumb itself down for the masses, makes it really easy for people to hate parts of it because it makes it really easy to spot. 8 billion people in the world, it's easy to find people who hate any art for some reason. I just wish I could make a spread sheet for what people hate in that art, so at least the turgid mass of opinions can be sorted into categories. Transformers, Avatar, All pixar Movies, Disney live actions movies, and fast and Furious movies, etc etc etc are CIA plants to make movies engineered to be fizzle out your brain like fast food, and make you feel like the hero.
