Why is anyone taking the 2008 comment seriously?
Again, shouldn't take his 70s comment seriously. Brap has his particular narrow view of what's good and anything outside the time period, genre, etc. is utter trash. To some degree, I think he's trolling, but such commitment to the bit is worrying.

yes but imo it was needed. the movie industry has gotten bloated and fat. endless reboots and remakes. just shoveling out trash with IP stamped on it.
it's a shame when you think about the 80s, the decade everyone is constantly mining now, and how many glorious NEW THINGS were created. compare that to now. it's pathetic.
is there any filmmaker who could come up with a new "Gremlins" today? or a new "Ghostbusters"? no. the imagination is not there. the respect for the past is not there. all we have is illiterate postmodernists who get paid to shuffle around the same old signifiers.
tbh it feels like we've been in a movie drought for a good 20 years at this point.

This is what I been doing. Rewatching Lost series as well.
Going through some Hitchcock movies. Get caught up in that backlog!

Home video (VCR) caused such an explosion of entertainment.
That Speilberg / Zemeckis / Dante / Donner grouping is hard to find these days.
Tales from the Crypt. Check out the talent that worked on it.

Hitchcock is amazing. Rear Window is probably the best for me.

Not to mention Heavy Metal was born in the 70's, what a fucking great decade.
And I was also born in the 80's.

Yes I am sorely missing my 3 comic book movies this Summer where a nobody lusts for a girl whos not interested, gets a random super power, that girl just happens to get kipnapped, hero saves her and then in the sequel he questions his mental state and whether if being with that girl is wise as it'll put her in danger and then the third movie where there is 2 bad guys and they're both incompetent but they make u think the hero will lose but he finds strength from his dead dog to win the day.
Yep, I miss comic book movies, as you can see. No sarcasm, honest.

Yep. I'm slowly going through the IMDB top 250 right now. Some real gems on there (and disappointments.)

It's alright Netflix will provide us with second rate imitations from now to eternity.
What? Come on man, I thought you appreciated old films!

99% of films are shit nowadays, which makes the 1% shine even brighter. Tom Cruise and Keanu Reeves are carrying the action genre on their shoulders at the moment.

Absolutely loved Parasite, Oldboy is on the plex server but I haven’t got round to it yet.

Only know the first one, was a bit not-surey about the story, but the cinematography was amazing and when I read up the story it made way more sense. Watch it first, then learn, should you have troubles.

Yeah idk. I just picked a random year out of my ass. I do think cinema went to basically complete shit in the 2000s though.
True. Also lol @ 40s+. Zoomers and their fucking talkies. Watch a silent picture once in a while.
I basically only watch stuff from the 70s-early 90s. 70s still weren't that great.

There's enough content out there for you to spend a full lifetime watching but you want more CGI Paul Walker? Bruh.
I'm watching video nasties on Amazon Prime rn, the 80s was so different. Watch some tribal Amazon dude kill a real turtle and eat it then see some titties. It's all good.

Just dropping this here as it popped up on my Facebook - Alfred Hitchcock talking about the art of scaring people. It's absolutely brilliant, well worth a watch for anyone who hasn't seen it and loves cinema.

It just means that 2021's gonna be a packed as fuck year and people will come around the fact that great cinema isn't dead, just ignored.
Tenet, Dune, The Green Knight, Antlers, First Cow, The French Dispatch, The Many Saints Of Newark, Candyman... and that's not including the auteur-directed franchise stuff like No Time To Die (Fukunaga), Halloween Kills (Green), The Batman (Reeves), & Thor 4 (Waititi).
In the meantime, now would be a good time to subscribe to this since theaters are in a coma. You know, catch up: https://www.criterionchannel.com/
