>>368089The real problems with these "nostalgiafags" are their soyjak mentality and surface-level interest in that stuff. They'll cry tears of joy over trailers for the upcoming iteration of their favorite pop culture product with no questions asked. Is it too much to ask for them to broaden their horizons instead of standing with their mouths agape over the thought of their favorite Hollywood tentpole franchise for the millionth time? On the other hand, even devoted ones come across more as gluttonous consumerists and collectorfags than true appreciators of kino/ludo. Like the type who would buy a $200 steelbook collector's edition of Silent Night, Deadly Night Part 2 on a whim that would probably just collect dust, loaded with a bunch of tacky trinkets. Instead they could be watching something like The Night of the Hunter. Blockbusters and entry-level genre movies from the '80s definitely have their place, but there's so much more out there to watch. How many silents or movies from the Golden Age of Hollywood have they seen? They might like Stephen Spielberg, but have they watched Duel? Even with '80s genre movies they're often just scratching the surface. They probably know Conan the Barbarian, but have they watched Conquest? While the more knowledgeable enthusiasts might be familiar with those movies, they also seem to pigeonhole themselves too much into that type of niche instead of mixing up their viewing habits and trying to gain additional insight and perspective on the history of movies as a whole.
