Now that movies are being made for adult, grown-up minds, are we about to enter a new golden age of cinema?
Really? Take a look around. The only movie anybody wants to talk about is the 7th installment in a Disney owned franchise made by a TV director.
>>64018890
don't dismiss the cultural phenomenon which star wars has become
getting that out of the picture we need to wait until marvelisation of cinema die (which in fact is extension of lucas's original "movie universe idea)
>>64018842
90% of /tv/ are 20 year olds. What are you talking about?
>>64018842
you give to much credit to 30+ viewers
>>64018842
No seriously when the fuck was the last time you went to the cinema besides Star Wars? You're being really stupid right now.

There should be a fucking law for parents who get their kids phones and I-pads so they won't have to deal with them.
I mean really, lets start the next generation of ADHD riddled kids off right and give them an addiction to instant gratification! Yeah, that'll really work out great for us as a society!!!
I'm a teacher I deal with this shit all the time; dumb ass kids who can't spell the word "Phone" but mommy and daddy dearest are more than willing to get them smart phones and PS4's.
Sorry, I got off on a tangent there. Who else laughed their ass off when Samuel got sucked off?

Is where you are as bad as where I am? The school board here is pushing tech hardcore. Everyone needs a laptop and smartphone for class. Oh, and I'm talking elementary schools. There's essentially 2 years of just teaching them how to use the stuff in the way the school wants them to learn.

Just seems like nobody grows up nowadays. Look how many people in their 30's and 40's freak out over comic book shit. My parents were never like that when I was younger.
And yeah the kids growing up with iPhones and shit are plain fucked. Intellect is dying. It's just all about infantile entertainment and not being bored.
>>64019411
>when the fuck was the last time you went to the cinema
Not OP, but it was before 4chan existed. Around the time 9/11 happened. I don't even remember the movie.

Do you feel like we're in a new golden age of cinema?
>>64021023
I teach elementary, tech is here but it's a good thing.
Middle and High schools are using more phone/tablet activities in classes. Some schools are really good at implementing, some aren't.
You have the last wave of old timers who still have tenure who refuse to adapt, that's one of the frustrating parts about it.

It is the media and consumerism. The younger you can keep the mentality of a person the more they will buy and the less control they will have over the compulsion to buy something new.

It is great for teaching, but the shit programs they are teaching the kids. It makes me want to pull my hair out. I only know because I have a friend who is a teacher. There's only 1 kid in her class that hasn't been diagnosed with ADD or whatever they are calling it now when you can't bitch out a kid for not paying attention and need to drug them up instead.
Knowing how to use the tech and knowing what good it can do for you in aiding and learning is great. Everything else isn't.
>>64021304
It's funny that 34 year olds aren't even old enough to remember watcher the OT in theaters.
>>64021207
this is keeping theatrical venues in business. show some respect.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennials
>Millennials (also known as the Millennial Generation[1] or Generation Y) are the demographic cohort following Generation X. There are no precise dates when the generation starts and ends; most researchers and commentators use birth years ranging from the early 1980s to the early 2000s.
So, at least 15-35, pretty much every single person on 4chan.

God damn it.
>>64021262
Teaching kids using modern technology and teaching them how to use in constructively is a good thing.
I'm 21, I got a single typing class in 7th grade, and then a recap on powerpoint or excel once a year if a teacher felt like it. I feel like computer skills are much more prevalent in schools now than even 4 years ago
>>64018842
If you seriously believe this, you must have some kind of neural degeneration.
>>64021262
Sorry, I was referring to using technology to put the responsibility of education back onto the students and their parents, it's fantastic. All my parents have my work e-mail so if their kids act like animals in class I have instant access to them, same goes for forcing my kids to do their homework; send it to all of the parents via e-mail and I'm done.
Of course it still only works for the parents who actually give a shit about their kid's education, but it's made my life easier.
and fyi, there are things that kids can do on computers that can actually help them memorize things like their math facts and basic grammar. Completely different from just watching 54 goddamn minutes of nursery rhymes or some asshole playing with Play-doh.
>>64021344
It's hilarious that 20 year old anons think that they aren't Millenials and didn't eat TPM up when it came out.
>>64021452
There are people over twice your age that know way more about computers than you or anyone else does. Teaching kids about this stuff when they're young won't make any difference aside from them getting introduced to social media and youtube at an earlier age.
>>64021402
all the bitching about millennials is actually "abloo bloo bloo, I was born in the wrong generation. Everyone my age sucks except me. I'm a 50 year old intellect trapped in the body of 20-something"
>>64021536
>It's hilarious that 20 year old anons think that they aren't Millenials and didn't eat TPM up when it came out.
I agree. I'm 25 and never liked SW growing up.
>>64021553
Thats some really awful logic and you sound biased against the topic to begin with.
>>64021569
Which is why using Millenial as an insult is so stupid. Gen X will never think you are cool.
>not interested in movies
>its clearly a cultural thing
>and has nothing to do with most movies being crap
I used to watch a ton of movies, but now its like who cares. I still go and see every promising action movie that comes out but the rest of it is just forced tripe
>>64021569
> I was born in the wrong generation
Too late for valor in war and too early for valor in space. Perfect for valor in shitposting. We are the short straw incarnate.
>>64021634
It's reality. 99% of kids who get taught about computers in school exclusively use it for social media and nothing else.
>>64021611
Then you must be very patrician. I'm older and I admit I got swept up by the hype. No shame in admitting it but these contrarians trying to make the prequels as some masterpiece are seriously misguided
>>64018842

>>64021646
>I used to watch a ton of movies, but now its like who cares.
OMFG this. I know it might be that we are jaded as fuck now, but once in a while a good movie/show comes along. And, I'm not talking something that is simply in the old style to make me nostalgic. So, I'm hoping it isn't just being jaded. If it is then there's no hope for us.
>>64019988
Lol
>>64021709
I grew up only knowing about the prequels. I didn't watch the OT until I was already in my 20s and by the time I watched them I was thoroughly unimpressed based on the hype. I think nostalgia is the only reason SW is so beloved because even the OT is horrible mediocre.
>>64021709
I'm older too and got caught in the hype and saw Ep 1 and 2 in the theaters sitting along side people in full costumes. By Ep 3 I just didn't give a shit because they were just shit. I like LOTR better than SW1-3.
>>64021706
Do you have any actual evidence to support that?
>>64018842
>are we about to enter a new golden age of cinema?
Sure if your idea of a new golden age are films made entirely to jerk off your nostalgia boner.
>>64021836
Maybe you should go outside.

>>64021801
Well, there is a great deal with seeing your first set of movies. This is because whatever rehashed story or effects they are using it will be the first thing you ever see of it. That can seriously taint other movies from then on. This is especially true if graphics or FX are extremely advanced over the years between movies. Seeing an alien in a movie in the 1950s does not have the impact it does now, for instance.
Also, each generation has its own set of media social propaganda at the time which the released movies of that generation fully reflect. Thus watching something like Casablanca by us won't be as relateable as it was when it first came out.
>>64019921
There is none. It was called silverscreen because the screen used to projects films on had silver in them.
>30+ yr olds
I do hope idiots on here know that 30+ still encompasses Millennials. 33-34 is about the cut-off age.
No, because baby boomers are dumb as fuck.
Millennials aren't interested in movies because Hollywood talked down to every audience member it's ever had and boomers never noticed.
>>64021760
Lol about what? He's right.
>>64021956
There's literally people younger than me who think SW is the greatest thing ever despite growing up in a time where there are countless movies with better acting, stories, dialogue, and special effects. It doesn't make any sense for anyone older than 40 to think the OT is amazing compared to a lot of modern movies. People in their 20s have some bizzare sense of nostalgia over something that they never truly experienced.
>>64022013
>mfw boomers will die out in my lifetime
feel good man
>>64022094
Much of that is trending. Styles cycle around and around. Remember when bell bottoms where the in thing for a 2nd time? Or, Zoot Suits?
I'm just hoping sci-fi will make a strong come back and we can have some series and movies worth watching.
>>64018842
This is interesting bait. The vast majority of movies are either 1. juvenile garbage like Star Wars, Nolantino, capeshit, or 2. middle brow oscar bait that equally immature but "wannabe sophisticated" people would like.
There's little cinema these days "made for the mature mind" kek.
>>64022190
so how about that blade runner sequel shit i heard about? is it real and gonna happen?
>>64022190
It'd be cool if sci-fi came back. The thing is people in their 20s who bash the prequels while raving about the OT despite only getting to experience the prequels. It makes no sense.

>>64018842
>Millennials not interested in movies.

>>64021758
I think its just gotten worse with the internet m8. It's so easy to gauge mass appeal that everything now is tailored to it.
Before the internet got big there were clearly defined genres and people just liked what they liked, but now the producers have access to what the masses want and they try make whatever the movie is about fit that paradigm.
I hope it changes too.

Nah, our generation has serious problems and clannish devotion to defending people that probably hate you, and I mean that seriously, because you have more in common with them than crusty old fucks is exacerbating the issue. Gen X'ers and Boomers are assholes, but they are not thoroughly cowed and gelded as most of our generation are, and that's where we need to accept there is a problem. It's easy to say every generation has new tech to adapt to, but it's clear no generation has had a problem of lifetime childishness like ours has.

FWIW, all the YouTube guys and people who know or care about movies on the internet are all like 32-44 years old it seems like. Jeremy Jahns is like 35 or 36 or whatever.
I honestly believe that 80's movies instilled so much passion and belief in movies because they were filled with insane amounts of imagination and fun that have never really been quite equaled. Combine that with the comic books coming to life that we also read and as a 30 year old your experience has basically been leading you up to this moment in time of awesomeness.
As a 21 year old its so much different, the movies you got exposed too were generally on par with video games with less immersion and I feel like games are the movies of the kids of today.
So I say good that Hollywood begins focusing on us 30+ year olds because I think we appreciate movies the most tbqh.

There is zero evidence of people actually being frightened of that. It was more than likely a big marketing stunt to make it sound more impressive.

The 70s and 80s was a boomtime of young, cutting-edge directors. Also the 80s was really quite a cinema wasteland because the camp/cheese factor was overpowering at that time.
>>64028901
>The 70s and 80s was a boomtime of young, cutting-edge directors
There's not really a young Spielberg of today although they try to shill JJ Abrams as such.
>>64028933
>>64028901
As Pauline Kael had said, directing is generally a young man's game although there were some brilliant older directors like Vittorio de Sica and Alfred Hitchcock (who was in his prime when he was in his 60s). Most of the time, they end up like Spielberg which is that they were silly, daring, and edgy in their youth and with age switched to bloated, self-indulgent epics like Schindler's List. They get old, fat, rich, complacent, maybe not as hip or in touch with current pop culture, stop doing bold, unorthodox things with their directing, etc.

no they def were afraid of being hit. watch Hugo
Going to the movies it costs way too much, a drink is like $8 and popcorn is like $10. Then they started making all the theaters "premium" so they went from 250 seats per theater to 80. I tried to get a ticket for star wars but it turns out its literally sold out for weeks.
