Since we had a baby last year, we stopped going to the movies as much and started renting alot more. You'd be amazed how many great movies (independents, foreign and low budget) we've rented over the last 18 months. I can honestly say I've seen more great movies in the last 1 1/2 years than I did in the previous 10.HomemadeCash.com - Homemade & GF sites powered by NScash.com

Now, I'm not the greatest business man in the world, but it occurs to me that if you're going to spend $100mil + to make a movie, it would be worth your while to cater to the millions of movie goers who are ignorant.
If making a masterpiece is admired by a handful but making mindless drivel will score you hundreds of millions from the masses... which would you rather make?Comment

Actually, that it won best movie or whatever is the point of this thread. There is so much garbage out there that you are actually convinced that NCFOM is a brilliant movie, when it is actually a movie with no plot, exagerated violence, and an inconclusive ending that you either "get or you dont". The acting and photography are good, but that's it.Comment

There's hardly enough info on the back cover of a DVD box. It only gives a very short plot summary. I too don't like to read the entire review beforehand either. I usually just check the last paragraph first.
There are some really good critics out there. You just have to find one that you really like. I tend to have always liked Roger Ebert. David Ansen of Newsweek I sometimes read too. And then the tomatometer is really good. I find that I often agree with it. A quick look and I can see which movies are high on the meter. It's much more a reliable source than relying on one single movie review.
Also, a movie review is only subjective if it is biased. For instance, if the critic didn't like the movie because he felt it wasn't as good as the book, that would be subjective. Or if the reviewer didn't like the movie based on the content. What is systematically subjective to me is the MPAA ratings system. They will rate a movie NC-17 if there is a masturbation scene involving a gay character... but if it's a straight character the movie would get an R Rating. I got this info from "This Film Is Not Yet Rated." A documentary I highly recommend seeing.

I watched a documentary on the movies of the seventies. They said the problem now is the marketing department controls the movies being made and back then it was the creative.A lot of the great movies of that time would never get green lighted now.Comment

Is there really more crap these days though? I mean percentage wise.
Think back to when you were say 16... When you had all day long to watch movies and anticipate them.
I can think of a handful of good movies from those days. A handful. I know I saw probably 1-2 a week back then, as it was the "thing" to do. Thats hundreds of movies watched, where I can recount perhaps 10 as being "good".
It's just memory fades and the horrible stuff gets blocked out.
Then again, I really enjoyed Transformers for what it was - to me a movie is great if I can forget I'm in a movie theatre for 2 hours. A CGI-filled mindless romp can accomplish that if done right, just as well as something awesome (to me) like Clerks, Full Metal Jacket, Shawshank Redemption, etc. To me, each movie has it's place depending on the mood I'm in. Movies are there to entertain - watch what you enjoy. I love all the retards who think they have to "hate" the popular stuff just to prove how superior they are. But hey, if that makes you happy go for it

talk about extreme, there is plenty of crap going on but still some good movies...
The same can be said about anything actually, thats what happens when you try to make a buck with the "morons" (which represent a lot, just turn your TV in, buy a magazine, listen to some music) ;)
The public gets what sells, and for many of us, most of the time thats garbage - in that sense I do agree 100% with you!Comment

Everyone can complain all you want, but if you don't bother to do a little research then you will miss out on some really good movies. Just like with music, you have to do some searching.Comment

C'mon now... you all know "The Hangover" was fuckin' funny as hell. There are good movies, it just takes some weeding through the bullshit to find them.

I can't remember the last movie I went to see. I think it was The Hangover. That rocked. I nearly pissed in my pants when Leslie Chow came out of the truck naked.
TV has been rocking these days. Lots of good stuff on TV. My favorite these days is SOA and Justified.Herschel Savage

As for the hype... You can have a crappy movie but it will be a huge success if you can sucker enough people to go and see it.Herschel Savage
