/tv/ - Movies and Television★

In my case, I have a good memory and sometimes if it's a film that's too much about mystery, I don't see much reason to watch it again.
Or it's a film from my childhood that I know if I watch it again I'll end up liking it a lot less than I remember.
In some rare cases it's simply a film that I feel like I've gotten everything I could out of it and there's no reason for me to spend my time with it again, until a strong desire or reason to watch it again pushes me to do so.

I was eagerly waiting to see the iron claw and enjoyed watching it the first time but then the more I thought about it, I grew to have issues with it. Particularly with some story choices, and while I understand the reason to not include Chris Von Erich, I still disagree with it and it does a disservice to the Von Erichs to not include him regardless. Also, while the first half was fun, the second half gets overbearingly depressing. I know that there was no easy way to tell the story but they pretty much crammed in all the tragic elements and it felt a bit rushed. Also not a fan on making 'toxic masculinity' a key theme of the movie.

I still think it is a fine movie but not as good as some people say it was, frankly I was a bit let down. I would watch the first half but again but never the whole movie in its entirety.

I think early 2000s kino is even more special because you knew these kinds of movies were on their way out to make way for more blockbuster slop.
Makes them even more depressing and surreal.

The 2000s was the last genuine art-house era in my opinion, no matter what faggy A24 fans say otherwise.
At that time there was a real diversity in both TV and cinema, you could find practically any type of film and show, from the most niche to the most generic genre.
It was also an era where so many aspects of the 70s were revived after they had gone out of fashion and at the same time we had films and shows that took greater risks.

Great performances and everything, but I'd rather learn about Laurel and Hardy's lives from more accurate sources or just watch some of their own work. It's definitely worth watching for fans, but I'm not sure I'm ever going to want to see it a second time.

I feel this exact way about 80s music. Even the upbeat songs have an undercurrent of melancholy to me.

There was certainly a sense of dread in many 2000s movies, the era of optimistic futurism finally sorta died/was fused with revived 70s dread, the age of decadent celebration and cope was finally dying as civilizations corpse was getting into a new stage of rot.

With a few exceptions it was already the end before that. Memento and David Lynch. But otherwise 9-11 was the dead end for me at least

Yeah by late 80s gangster rap and new jack swing and grunge and other mechanical or defeatists crap was the end of popular music. Alice in Chains was good of the sort but otherwise it was overwhelmingly crap

Most arthouse is dogshit and means nothing to anybody, A24 and NEON are pretty consistent in putting out interesting movies that are still commercially viable.

This is true though, media has become very homogenized and genres like sci-fi and comedy are practically dead
