my recollection of childhood was regularly hiring star wars from the vidya shop in the next town and the picture getting slowly worse and worse and worse over the years, then getting a copy of the special edition when it was re-released on vhs and it popped out like fuck but it some of the lines were already starting to make me cringe lol... (and this was before eps 1-2-3 came out)
I come from a long line of pirates. Pre-Internet, we had TWO vcrs and a rental card.
Boxes upon Boxes upon Boxes of Movies, 2-3 on each tape Like your memory, the best ones fell to "tracking" after many rewatches.
I have always been an archivist, but I still won't watch mom's favorite "The Exorcist". Radioactive Dreams, Wizards(animated), Robocop, neverending story...

yeah, they were all shit. They were just programming us for war in the middle east during the 80s/90s with violence and faggots on steroids. Next time, check out who the writers, directors and producers were for your film. Kikes.
What is quality filmmaking? All movies (+ music & etc) are programming your brain and installing (or at least attempting to) beliefs and opinions about specific and general topics. Movies used to be more subtle and often limited themselves to promoting belief in modern jewish society. Enough of the population accepts it now so they've moved on to promoting specific degeneracies.
there was a time when movies actually were entertaining and a half decent distraction and family movie night/date night. it wasnt just a case of flicking on a screen and choosing something, you wanted a decent date, youd have to go to blockbuster with your girl and put up with her not being able to fucking decide for an hour while trying to lure her into the dirty movies section but eventually finding something in the tits and ass genre in 'world movies' where you can get the pussy but pretend youre intellectual at the same time. doesnt work but fucksakes were talking about being a teenager in the 90s here.
but yeah there was a time not too many fucks were given, and people actually put what they wanted in movies, and then the 90s and wokeism started and by the time The Matrix came around it all went completely tits up to the point pretty much everything now is a reboot of something else, and half the special effects used ad nauseum and a fuckload of other trops in every movie can be traced back to.... the fuckin matrix.
i had no idea most of disneys movies arent actually disney movies at all until i went to france in the 90s... i think George of the Jungle was something french that had fuck all to do with them.
probably but even if a remake of an anime, still live action, and a legit great movie. i think i remember seeing ghost in the machine and not being all that impressed with it.
i think the last two movies i have been to the movies to see were hunger games movies, and i was paid to be at both of them... that catching fire one because i was a guard at a premier. i think i was supposed to stop people filming but fuck that i just sat down. last one was that one from this year a client wanted me to take him to.
not sure if i hate that my job sounds sketchy enough that i have to assure people im not a male escort or amused by it...

But yes, modern movies are very shitty.
Bring back quality filmmaking, but keep the digital format.
