Movie Thread

[Legend]

I'm going to make a weird post here but I feel like movies should be better than they are. 

We've had stories for thousands of years, and movies for like 100.  Why does it seem like so many big budget movies are still bad or at least nowhere near as good as they should be?

There are a lot of movies that I like, but there are relatively few movies that I really love.

I agree fully. I just don't get it.

You are spending hundreds of millions of dollars on these things. Why are they so bad at a fundamental level, so often?


But I'll still defend them as ten times better than tv shows.

Because Hollywood follows predictable scripts and the same arc and story type for everything. There is no creativity.

Also I feel like the art I'd directing is gone. For example, in SEVEN, the director of the movie payed so much attention to where each character stood and moved throughout the scenes. It helped build the story, the tension and the development. That kind of stuff feels dead nowadays.

Yeah that stuff still hapens, it just mostly only happens in really niche movies nowadays. The mainstream stuff doesn't care unless it's very in your face about those details.
