so you just aren't as invested or interested, i guess. not because of distaste for superhero or legacy film, but for film in general. that bites. i hope you find your way back, at some point.Reign in Blood wrote:Silence looks like a boring piece of crap I have 0 interest in.

Re: October 13th 2019
Here's the thing of why I say maybe it's just not my era. My tastes haven't changed that much, if anything I've become more encompassing and more willing to give shit a try. Shit is just not finding it's way into the awesome conversations, Gone Girl is not as good as Seven or Fight Club. Hacksaw is not as good as Braveheart, is the timing of when they were made just a coincidence, I don't know?zombie wrote:so you just aren't as invested or interested, i guess. not because of distaste for superhero or legacy film, but for film in general. that bites. i hope you find your way back, at some point.Reign in Blood wrote:Silence looks like a boring piece of crap I have 0 interest in.

Re: October 13th 2019
oo, that's true. the descent isn't as good as maniac (from your point of view?), but both can still be favorites? or at least both can have a place in your collection?Reign in Blood wrote:Here's the thing of why I say maybe it's just not my era.

or in my case, ginger snaps isn't as good as a nightmare on elm street. but both can be favorites, all the same.

And as we do this dance, riddle me this zombs, people know the rules of fight club. People know mad mel's fight for freeeeedom. Anybody know jack about Gone Girl or Hacksaw?
Re: October 13th 2019
does everything have to be goodfellas or braveheart to be a favorite? is memorable necessarily equal to quality? i'll always remember human centipede, but i never wanna watch it again.Reign in Blood wrote:And as we do this dance, riddle me this zombs, people know the rules of fight club.

Re: October 13th 2019
For simplicity, you could boil it down to something you want to rewatch. With want being the operative word, would I rewatch Gone Girl and Hacksaw? Sure, do I want to? Not really. You know that answer to Goodfellas, Braveheart, Wolf, and plenty more from me.zombie wrote:does everything have to be goodfellas or braveheart to be a favorite? is memorable necessarily equal to quality? i'll always remember human centipede, but i never wanna watch it again.Reign in Blood wrote:And as we do this dance, riddle me this zombs, people know the rules of fight club.

are there more wolf of wall streets in this era, that you're ignoring or excluding to make your argument look better? what other non-legacy films would you like to rewatch?

No, if there were I would own them! That's what I'm saying, I am telling them to shut up and take my money. I'm buying Stranger Things and GoT shit like it's going out of style, I got a Heisenreign hat and hazmat gear... come on movies, your move. Our man Gee-Air-Mo makes a movie about a chick doing down on a stank fucking fish, steals best picture, shit you'd think I could get down with? Nope, it was boring as all fuck.

you want everything to be as good as the absolute bests, and if it falls short, then it's not even worth a damn at all... let me ask, is jurassic world as good as fight club or braveheart?Reign in Blood wrote:They don't know jack, because who is putting those into their favorites lists?

Re: October 13th 2019
It don't gotta be the absolute best. Jurassic World is fine for an example, calling it a favorite is pushing it (it ain't no Park), but it was highly entertaining, seen it twice, would watch again.zombie wrote:you want everything to be as good as the absolute bests, and if it falls short, then it's not even worth a damn at all... let me ask, is jurassic world as good as fight club or braveheart?Reign in Blood wrote:They don't know jack, because who is putting those into their favorites lists?

Re: October 13th 2019
you're going back and forth now. if you don't hold gone girl or hacksaw ridge on the same rank as fight club or braveheart, then it's gotta be crap.. but if it's jurassic world, then it's fine and doesn't need to be held to weirdly huge standards.Reign in Blood wrote: It don't gotta be the absolute best.

It's also a franchise, it's own universe and part of a legacy.

Re: October 13th 2019
Over-saturation also hurts cultural impact in movies. 40-50 years ago, the best movies were also the most widely watched movies and everyone went to the moves.
Not removing until John Elway is fired.
Re: October 13th 2019
i can name lots of films that aren't legacy. you don't have to like them and i'm not going to try to force you to, but that doesn't mean that other people can't hold them as favorites or consider them to be worth rewatching. the topic was never about trying to force you to change your view. i just wanted to understand why. and you don't seem to know why, really. *shrug*Reign in Blood wrote:It's also a franchise, it's own universe and part of a legacy.
