I'm more talking about the generic use of the term film school. If you can source something more specific that would be appreciated. Otherwise just making a broad statement means nothing.
I know this because movie directors agree with me.

lol zts. so close to having an opinion worth reading, then you go back to being a salty whiner at the end.
Every year I go crazy at TIFF. I think I saw around 23 movies there this year.
Uhh
1. Mad Max
2. Paddington (USA release..)
3. Inside Out
4. Spy
5. The Martian
6. Ex Machina
Hateful 8 was ok but tarantino's weakest film, good Dinosaur was beautiful but was meh otherwise, saw a couple others but probably forgetful.
I would love to see more Indie shit but just haven't yet

I only watched 3 movies last year. Ant-Man, Mad Max, and The Force Awakens. Mad Max was probably my favorite.
Well that certainly explains it.
Hoping next year to catch more since I won't be tied down between school and 2 jobs. Ideally I'll just be at one consistent job that I can work around.

Only saw two new movies this year. Mad Max and Star Wars. Star Wars was pretty good and Mad Max was a fucking snoozefest.

I liked it. The tension was great and I liked the character study between Blunt's and Del Toro's characters.
I......wha.......To each their own, I suppose.

Mad Max was awful. The plot was "we drove in a circle and an old man died, the end". Literally every single action sequence was the same pace, same shit, over and over and over and over. Boring garbage.
You used to be cool, George Miller.

Apparently FANG is in the build, but he can't be used. At least that's what the chat said.

Mad Max reminded me of a Marvel movie. Boring and repetitive pacing, a director who can't do action (or can't anymore), and a sprinking of quips to add humor for no reason.

Except for X-Men movies and GotG, right?

GotG is the one Marvel movie I really enjoyed, which is funny because it has all the things I complain about in Marvel movies but I have a soft spot for James Gunn.
For X-Men, I really liked X2 and First Class. 1 and 3 were just okay. Haven't seen the others.

i enjoyed the first action sequence quite a lot. i enjoyed it less when it happened over and over again throughout the rest of the movie.
......You dodged a bullet there, my friend.

If there's any book/cast of characters that style is going to work for, it's going to be for GotG. It's hard to make a self serious movie about a walking tree and his angry raccoon buddy so I'm glad Gunn went the opposite route.
Funny enough, it was Feige who told Gunn to go nuts with the movie.

I mean opinions sure, but when you put it in context of Star Wars. Damn.

GotG > Episode 7 when it comes to space faring buddies doing space stuff
But that's a real weird comparison because Episode 7 is 1/3rd of a story (or is it 1/9th of a story?)

Now they're giving Gunn more expensive toys to use for Vol. 2 (an unreleased 8K camera & some other unannounced tech).
Not surprised seeing as GoTG has proven itself. So they're gonna keep that train going.

There is only one thing they need to do, and that's nail the soundtrack.

Been looking forward to it for a minute. Blue Ruin was dope.
I like his movies, but Carpenter barely makes anything lol, how can you say that.
Big Trouble is da god tho
It was but it also ripped off a ton of other things as homages...just like Warhammer 40K.
Not that that's a bad thing, give me my space Vikings anyday

It's the same story as Episode 4, so even less
This is cool
I need to watch the assassin but I kept getting distracted when I tried it.
Tbh I used to watch way more movies, my top 10 of 2015 list would just be "the movies I watched in 2015 bc i saw like nothing"
so that'd be just, jurassic world, mad max, age of ultron, sha po lang 2, kung fu killer, terminator genesiys, inside out, star wars tfa
