Those are all good.  Doesn't mean most of the stuff the Hollywood machine cranks out every year isn't crap.  As I said above, there are good movies.  My overriding point is that filmmaking as a medium is not in a good spot at the moment.

It's so subjective though, what we enjoy others do not and vice versa :shrug:

If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care.

It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence.

I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too.  If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

Not a movie, but True Detective season 2 was awesome IMO. I thought it was way better than season 1 but it got kinda bad reviews so I guess I'm in the minority, maybe it was because it had no real positive message? :confused: I liked it so much because it seemed to relate to our times very well. The tag line was "We get the world we deserve.", I don't think he meant it literally though. Just that if we are not going to do anything to fix our own self then who is? That's what I got from it.

movies have to be good and bad. bad movies are needed to show what a good one is.

The Matrix was excellent in the fact that it wasn't made just for entertainment but that it conveyed a philosophical meaning I thought was brilliant.

Inception questions the subject of their idea.

Well, Seven, Zodiac, The Game are all good.  I thought Panic Room and the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo were good too, but not as good.

If you haven't seen Seven, definitely go with it.

Some cracking recommendations there CJ, thank you for sharing!

Let it be seen that you are nothing. And in knowing that you are nothing... there is nothing to lose, there is nothing to gain. What can happen to you?

It will only destroy what you are not.

The money involved in making a movie is one of the big problems. With a novel, anyone can just sit and write it, it doesn't take money to do so. It may not get published, but it's still there and ready. A movie takes a lot of money to make, and the studios are only going to give money to things that will make money. Also in the past, there were movies that were mid range in price. Now there are movies that cost 100 mil or more and they are looking to make insane profits. They barely fund movies for like 30 mil hoping to make a modest profit.

A Scanner Darkly is a nice trip.

I also liked Interstellar but then I was kinda high on meth.

Yes, exactly.  And because of this trend, which must in fact now be a full-blown business model, I think the atmosphere in the industry has taken a very noticeable turn for the worse.  There is, of course, independent filmmaking, but you have the same limitations there as well, e.g. with budgets, distribution, etc.

My dream since I was a child was to make films but now I don't see the point. Although I would like to help out by making good ones , at the same time I probably wouldn't get the money & etc to get it made. Like clock of omens was saying , writing books is free of budget concerns.. just let your imagination go wild & do whatever you want. If anyone here hasn't seen "Dark City" that is one that I would highly recommend. Amazing movie!

Yeah, it's definitely just how Hollywood runs things now. The movies they pump out just aren't the same quality as the stuff they were funding in the 70's.

Movies like Through a Glass Darkly and Sans Soleil justify the medium for me, but those are pretty old, so i dunno.
Also if you haven't heard of xXx or the Transformers series you should look into those.

Have been on a movie kick, just picked up Amadeus, Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, Storytelling, The Station Agent, Happiness, Palindromes, The Darjeeling Limited, The Royal Tenenbaums, Welcome to the Dollhouse, Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands, Bad Education, Talk to Her, Volver, All About My Mother... Have seen 'em all but am an archivist at heart.

For recent movies, really check out Dope, is about bitcoins and the DNM amongst other things... Paper Towns was really quite nice too.
