The second was created by some random guy named Chris in 2012. It's pry why no movies in the last 15 years made the top 100 list. Twenty-one movies made in the last 15 years made the top 100 of the IMDB 250 list. My personal favorites were The Dark Knight, Interstellar, Django Unchained, and Inglorious Basterds. Big Nolan and Tarantino fan though. What the heck, I made the poor assumption that the lists were at least somewhat updated! Thanks for correcting my oversight! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unbillievable Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 (edited) What happens to a strike when there is no real impact to consumers? Are they willing to strike for a year (or two) waiting for the public to notice diminishing content? Remember, Covid also shut down all productions and no one really cared, and that is with everyone stuck at home.

Remember, Covid also shut down all productions and no one really cared, and that is with everyone stuck at home. I honestly don't watch a lot of movies anymore but I still really appreciate the good ones when I do catch one. I think it's real that a lot of people don't watch as many movies anymore...but I don't think it's a "woke" thing as much as people in this thread seem to think so. I hope it resolves itself simply for the really good movies that do make it. Like this Oppenheimer one looks amazing to me, I'll probably get out to the theater for it. Really interesting guy and story and I do generally like Christopher Nolan. I don't really buy this whole "they don't make 'em like they used to!" narrative that's attached to all this. There's always been a lot of trash to go along with the good. There's just so many content options outside of movies now that people aren't going to watch something they're not really intrigued by nearly as much. Like how TV sitcoms cratered...because there's better options on the table now. But yes, like the writer's strike many years ago...I don't know that this will ultimately be a good thing...but I think we were headed down this road regardless. It may change to where it's harder to get a movie green-lit but I do think there's always going to be a demand and crave for good movies that there will be a market for.

When I do watch shows or movies its usually the older ones. Most of today's stuff isn't that good IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
