>Watch old forgotten "bad" movie
>Cinematography, set design and production are superior to new "good" movies

What the fuck happened man

I feel the same way. Like I'll watch some crappy b-movie from the 80s or 90s, and find myself thinking the set design looks very inspired compared to movies today.

How the hell does this look better than Megalopolis?

i think the blue collar aspects of hollywood like lighting and set stuff is dying. the skills are not being passed down and every movie is mad e with blue screens and little sets or real lighting

>>211887687 (OP)
rec me some old forgotten "bad" movies

tfw cat in the hat as better set design than most modern movies.

>>211888650
Bo Welch was a longtime set designer before directing Cat in the Hat.

civilizational collapse
jews drained their current host (us) to death and are now fleeing to their new host (china)
Our move now to is preserve what was great about our civilization and wait for them all to fuck off so we can rebuild

This. The shittiest throwaway garbage from 30 years ago blows current mainstream shit the fuck away. How?

Because the old guys were so stingy when sharing their craft. If not outright misled the young guys.
Fuck Hollywood. It’s corrupt from top to bottom.

>>211887687 (OP)
Watch better movies, shithead.

>>211887687 (OP)
You think that’s bad? Wait till AI slop infests every new movie from here on out. I though iPhones were going to usher in a new era of talented amateur filmmakers that would counter the mainstream slop and start a new film renaissance, what happened?

>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU CAN'T USE AI TO MAKE YOUR OWN GOOD MOVIES YOU HAVE TO PAY 100 MILLION DOLLARS FOR JEWISH DOGSHIT

Cool as Ice

I rewatched Stand By Me and noticed this "horrible" matte painting. If this shit happened today in HD, the cartoony clouds and trees would be endlessly ridiculed; but watching it now just made me feel comfy and wistful. As with videogames, desire to be "photorealistic" has sacrificed artistry in favor of verisimilitude.

trash

The old system was a blend between art and business, with the artist having more control, the modern system is a formula for how to maximize profits for the corporation using IPs with the artistic element almost entirely removed from the equation

Passion. Even b-movies were made by people who loved what they were doing.

companies got lazy, its only gonna get worse. they want to lower the bar so u accept anything thats their game. thats why its good to vote with ur wallet

The Spirit (2008)

One of the best looking bad movies I've ever seen

>>211888386
This and the Trancers movies were some fun B movie schlock

>>211894793
No, you literally can't, you cum slurping retard. AI is useful as a shortcut for certain production aspects but it won't make a movie for you.

There's still a ton of risky stuff being made that companies end up bleeding for.

Millennials are worthless nostalgiafags and utterly beholden to the boomer way of doing things, so you'll have to give it a few years til zoomers get a shot at it.

>>211888386
Recently watched, the negotiator. Wasn't a bad movie but not a hit and man it's just a solid movie with great everything in it and it brutally mogs everything the past decade and it was just a 90's dud, it's got a few cliché tropes in it but the difference in quality is obvious.

>>211887687 (OP)
You don't even watch new movies, OP, you lazy fuck.

What's really crazy is going back and reading the few negative reviews for the best movies that came out in like 1997 or some other year with just banger after banger
Is it that you become complacent to quality when you're surrounded by it, or that that situation is what allows you to be rightfully discerning?

>>211896553
Sure but what's more so the case is that you're completely delusional regarding this quality rift you're imagining.

>>211896553
It's literally apples and oranges at that point.
Or comparing fine dining to fast food. It's a different genres almost now and you have to have different standards then and now unfortunately.

>>211896732
You're so retarded. You don't watch new movies. You don't even know what's being released.

90's had a weird fetish for massive fake cities.

>>211896553
The 90's would have 5-10 films per year that are better than anything released in the last ten years. So people just had higher expectations. If you go back and look, even hugely influential films like The Matrix had kind of mid reviews.

Sometimes I ponder whether those schizophrenics that live in a warped memory of the past shouldn't have stayed in the past.

Night of the Ghouls, one of Ed Wood's forgotten classics. It didn't get an official release for almost 30 years. It seems to be public domain, since the whole thing is on Wikipedia.

Started making movies for brown people. Often by brown people. Check out Indian movies on imdb. All dogshit but constantly getting 8-9. Hollywood realised they could lower the bar and launder more money while also making profit.
