Remember when mainstream blockbuster films were well made?
With interesting plots
And moved along at a steady pace
And well rounded characters
With memorable dialog
When did it stop? I'm not saying they don't make good movies anymore but that "blockbuster" type films (Jurassic world/avengers) are not well made films . Everything is just thrown together with Very little care

sometime around 2003
lots of 90s blockbusters like Jurassic Park and Star Gate still stand up today, maybe because CG graphics were still expensive and difficult, and had to be doled out sparingly - so pure spectacle still had to be done with lots of dudes and/or props and huge sets
now that technology can render an orc army of thousands and green screens can create the illusion of being inside a massive Imperial Palace instead of making anything - has made the craft of Hollywood moviemaking irrelevant to the businessmen who fund these things, because they've shown those positive aspects they formerly had aren't necessary to get people to shell out to see these things. that's one main reason why many more people are interested in movies of the past than ever before, I guess
Mainstream film became more expensive, because of Titanic. And it wasn't the last time Cameron did damage to the medium by releasing a mediocre film that changed how the industry operates.

agree with all of this
I owe my love for classic movies to getting sick and tired of the shit modern Hollywood tries to feed us.

Hollywood started going downhill fast during the late 90s and jumped the shark around the mid 00s. They slowly lowered audience expectations and now most people are just used to it
Get people used enough to fast food and a five-star meal will no longer look appetizing to them
I blame digital filmmaking. Making movies used to be ball-bustingly, mind-numbingly difficult, you had to basically be an experienced engineer to even know how to run a camera, and that went for every aspect of the craft too as greenscreens were less prominent and people actually had to design sets and do real stunts and all that shit.
It's the kind of craft that would attract dedicated nerds, people who really knew their shit and were willing to put in the extra work, while weeding out the dickhead film school students that dominate the industry today. The tools themselves may not have made movies worse but they've arguably brought a different culture and mindset to filmmaking, a culture that's fine with being "good enough" as long as they finish the movie with as minimal effort as they can get away with.
>>67679078
I blame the audience. They'll eat whatever shit is thrown to them as long as it's sugar coated.

>because of Titanic
yeah man all those fucking period dramas are bankrupting Hollywood.
2011 and the advant of the smart phone
>>67679476
There is some truth to this in the sense that with CGI blockbusters are increasingly about volume rather than manner of presentation. There's more of everything but none of it is given much thought, it's some sort of accelerationism applied to filmmaking. It creates exhausting movies.

Eh, I think it's less about weeding out people who weren't born for it, and more forging people into their role as film makers.
If you have to jump through ten thousand hoops to get something done, you're going to be hellbent on making it worth it.Which is why claymation movies tend to be better than most other animated films.
If you're in it, you're in it to win it.

I wanna fuck that (Jessica) Rabbit
>>67681758
That's what I'm saying, it's not so much that people were better or anything, it's that you literally HAD to be a hard working nerd to make it in the industry, even if you had to force yourself become that nerd. There was no wiggle room for fuckabouts to worm their way in.
>Which is why claymation movies tend to be better than most other animated films.
Amen brother.

When studios realized the amount of new stupid people on the planet raised so high that you can make pretty much anything, slap a title on it, and make money.

Advertising became more important than the film itself. Most "producers" and "filmmakers" these days are little more than snake oil salesman.

Honestly so fucking hype for Kubo this year
>>67679078
It changed between 70-90s. Original movies gradually disappeared and we're stuck with franchise, capshit, sequels and reboots.
