You gotta admit the guy has a point

Can we just admit that new movies suck and that's why box office receipts have been declining since the early 2000s?

>I really hate movies made prior to 1970 except for two of the four movies I actually watched

If you genuinely think all old movies are bad, don't watch them. No one is forcing you to watch movies you don't wanna watch. That said, I'll still make fun of you for your pleb opinions. Also if the only old movies you've seen are big Hollywood films from the 40s and 50s, then no wonder you don't like them. Try watching films from older decades and from different countries before saying all movies from before the 70s are bad

>Old movies suck ass. This was maybe my answer to Welles, whom, as much as I admire him, I do quibble with. Citizen Kane had a very medieval philosophy: that if the movie was a cinematic tour de force, the audience would enjoy. We look at real movies and it’s not that simple. Kubrick can say that 2001 became a beloved sci fi masterpiece and maintained its standing in the hearts of fans new and old for fifty years, and it was rewatched and admired. But Kubrick doesn’t ask the question: What if everyone’s just pretending? Aren’t all old movies bad? What about black and white? Isn’t it hard to pay attention with all the talking? By the end of the 20th century, most of the movies are new but all of the old ones aren’t gone – they’re available on home media. Did Hitchcock pursue a policy of systematic boredom and watch them? Even the little problematic 80s sex comedies, in their little intolerant spaces?

Classic Hollywood is fantastic though, maybe not 50s so much but definitely 30s and 40s

I used to watch a lot of movies on AMC from the 40s and 50s but could never get into them. I guess 12 Angry Men is another one that was enjoyable

LOL

Sure, but that style of film isn't for everyone

love me old movies but what cheeses my bacon is the sappy romantic style which they all have
one day modern movies will be seen the same way, overly gross with shoving the weird romance down our throats constantly

Old movies, much like JRPGS have no respect for your time

Old movies are good and beer is tasty

Fuck Op

hollywood made some fantastic films in the 40s 50s and 60s. What a stupid post.

A list of 50 highest grossing films ever has 6 movies that were made before The Dark Knight. One of those is in top 20.

Eh, to each their own I guess. Personally I can get into pretty much anything from 1930 to 2010. I have my own blind spots, silent films bore me to tears as do those Euro arthouse flicks from the fifties and sixties.

>muh tentpole movies are all that matters not Hollywood gross as a whole
>not even bothering to adjust for inflation

>Personally I can get into pretty much anything from 1930 to 2010.
Now this is a high IQ take.

Didn't read. Fuck retards who use comics in place of thoughts.

Maybe you should admit that OP is always a huge faggot.

I wasn't saying those films are bad. I was saying it's dumb to watch Citizen Kane and Vertigo, not enjoy them, and from there claim that all films made before the 70s are bad

You’re joking right? Modern Hollywood blockbusters have insanely bloated runtimes compared to classic films. Transformers: The Last Knight was almost 3 hours long.

I mostly watch old movies now. I probably watch maybe 1-2 new movies a year.

The original comic had a point. Almost all beer tastes like shit.

I think its safer to say all movies that were popular in their time are bad

Not all, but most

Yeah... but the pacing man, old shit moves at the speed of a turtle

You just don’t like beer. I hated the taste of every cigar I’ve ever tried but I would never claim that means people that are into cigars are just pretending to like it. Pretty sure that means you have autism or at the very least zero self awareness.

is there a clinical term for the type of mental illness that could make someone believe that literally 100 million+ people are "pretending" to like beer, rather than just acknowledging that different people have different taste?

Nah, compare the highest grossing films from the sixties to the highest grossing films of today.

>2001: A Space Odyssey
>The Sound of Music
>Bonnie and Clyde
>Goldfinger
>Lawrence of Arabia
>Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

And in the 2010s we had:
>The Force Awakens
>Black Panther
>Live Action Beauty and the Beast
>Avengers
>Frozen 2
>The Dark Knight Rises

modern audiences just have shittier taste

Autism

It's called narcissism. It's the same reason you have anons on Yas Forums accusing people of liking/disliking a movie only because they are "contrarian" or because they have their "nostalgia goggles" on. Narcissistic shitbags cannot concieve of opinions different from their own, because their worldview is objective fact.

Average audience IQ is definitely lower

>lol Idiocracy was a documentary!

>1960
>us 89% white

>2020
>us 56% white

do the math dimwit

You're a faggot-assed nu/pol/ nigger. Go suck some tranny cock.

Seven Samurai and Hidden Fortress were amazing.

I never thought I would ever enjoy a grainy, black and white movie with subtitles, but goddamn.

>I don't enjoy something right now, therefore nobody at any point in time can really enjoy it
Is the meta joke that XKCD's author is supposed to be a prick?

literally all shit

Jews were less interbred in the 60s, boosting average IQ before the euro genes diluted them.

there are many that I've genuinely enjoyed

Cool Hand Luke (1967)
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)
The Man Who Fell to Earth (1976)
Watership Down (1978)
Blues Brothers (1980)
Heavy Metal (1981)
Scanners (1981)
The Plague Dogs (1982)
The Thing (1982)
Fire and Ice (1983)
Amadeus (1984)
Re-Animator (1985)
Big Trouble in Little China (1986)
Blue Velvet (1986)
Stand By Me (1986)
Full Metal Jacket (1987)
Predator (1987)
They Live (1988)
Vampire's Kiss (1988)
Naked Lunch (1991)
Reservoir Dogs (1992)
Sneakers (1992)

Most of the "old" movies I like are the old shlocky horror movies.
I get genuinely entertained by how bad some of them are, and how some of them still hold up and are legit creepy almost 100 years later, like Nosferatu

I don't think I'd consider anything from the 80s or 90s as "old." Then again I'm not a zoomer

global average iq has fallen and will continue to fall especially among white europeans, Yas Forumsniggers will attribute this largely to immigration and swelling mud populations but it is a product of dysgenic breeding and poor diet among industrial populations. There is no doubt about it, the average americans vocabulary has shrunk, the average american's understanding of how to read a map or perform basic mechanical operations has deteriorated, denying this is to deny the possibility of degeneration, which is to say, to be totally divorced from the frailty of life.

Haha, nice one kid! I like your moxie, I really do. You remind me of a younger me.
Back when I was just starting out on the boards, I would pull stunts like this all the time. Turn a meme on its ear. Try to be a "big guy" and impress the oldfags. It's completely normal.
But ya know what, kid? In time you'll come to learn that there's more to memery than simple tradition. There's great strength in it. Playing along with some OP's epic bait isn't something we do because we want to fit in. We do it because it weeds out the reddit fags and normies from the true memesmen of Yas Forums.
You stay around here long enough, kid, and you'll come to realize this. But for now, get out there, have some fun, and think about what I said.
And then read the first letter of each sentence of this post ;^)

Imagine actually believing that everyone who says they like Kurosawa is just pretending to. I can understand not liking Kurosawa, but to believe that his films would genuinely appeal to nobody

Also retards tend to produce more kids. While intelligent people die childless even when married.

see

Most people have pretty shit tastes because most people are pretty stupid. Kurosawa appeals to people who are on a similar intellectual level as Marvel fans.

Randal Munroe is a high functioning aspergers engineer that thinks his talents in the math field carry over to other fields. Turns out that being a genius in one field doesn't guarantee being a genius in other fields. That being said, his peak was that he worked for NASA for about 6 months in 2006, as an intern code monkey. He'll pretend otherwise, and just assume that "yeah I'm ex-NASA" will impress people

oh......this thread again....
