3d object and person mapping went officially mainstream in the Matrix sequels 20 years ago.
The tech is so widely available that they can render Zelenksy for propaganda and hologram for messages on snapchat.
Movies have gotten exponentially worse.

It makes no sense. If capeshit didn't exist, maybe we would have dreamscape tier story telling where the truly absurd and ridiculous could happen using rag doll physics and 3d renders.
It's the only time in movie history where tech advancements aren't associated with story telling.

Dredd bros…we did it!

I'm not just asking this out of imagined right-wing nostalgia for a past I never experienced (although I'd be lying if I said that wasn't a factor), I really think the Hays Code forced writers and directors to think more carefully and cleverly which in turn made them more skillful at their craft. When artists have absolutely no restrictions, they become lazy and self-indulgent. Something like the Hays Code was perfect for creating better filmmakers. After all, do we not call the period of the Hays Code the Golden Age of the Hollywood? The only downside to it's return would be that movies wouldn't be able to show nudity anymore, but we have internet porn now. Sure, the lighting isn't as good and the women usually have nasty tattoos and piercings but it gets the job done.
>inb4 "But why does it have to be the Hays Code? Why not use the leftist version of it which already exists in all but name instead of dredging up this relic of the past? It sounds like you just want to force filmmakers to conform to your social preferences."
It only sounds that way because you're retarded. The Hays Code did not limit the kind of characters you could portray like the modern leftist code does, it only restricted what you could show them doing. For example, The leading heroine in John Ford's famous film, "Stagecoach", from 1939, is obviously a prostitute as is Doc Holiday's lover in his later film, "My Darling Clementine" and in his still later film, "The Searchers", Ethan's sister-in-law and oldest niece are clearly implied to have been raped by the Comanches before they were killed. Another example is Hitchcock's Rope where the main duo are implied to be gay. Compare this with the modern leftist code where you're not allowed to ever show any female character ever being inferior to any male character in any way or really having flaws at all. This is not a censorship of content but of personalities. You are essentially forbidden from having female characters who are even human. The feminists have created a self-fulfilling prophecy:
>only male characters are allowed to have flaws > only male characters are interesting > only movies with male leads attract audiences
Nothing under the Hays Code came close to being this oppressive to creative freedom.

When did you realize that Fleischer was the greatest of all old golden age animation studios?

How did Peter Jackson get away with ripping off Skyrim like this?

The Deep sucks. I thought it would be at least okay since it was made by so many people involved with Jaws but it's not even that. It's all disjointed. The scenes don't flow into one another at all. It's like they shot a bunch of random footage and tried to stitch it together into a coherent story afterwards. Key word: tried. The dialog is terribly written and the acting of the main couple is even worse. It would have been better if they had cut them out all together and made it just about the old sailors. Yes, that means cutting out the wet t shirt diving scene at the beginning (which seems to be the only reason anyone ever cared about this movie both now and when it was released) but that same actress has done nude scenes in other movies if you have to coom to her so badly. She had already hit the wall by the time she made this film anyway. Every single Jaws sequel or knockoff is more entertaining than this shit. I just wanted another fun seafaring flick with Robert Shaw.
