Here's the problem. The Japanese ethos was warped forever by the atomic bomb attacks during WWII. Millions of Japanese men, women, and children were forced to come to terms with the idea of an overwhelmingly powerful entity outside of their control that could wipe them out of existence without warning using unspeakable weapons. They did this, for the most part, by exploring the idea in fiction. Godzilla is one example. Anime is another. If the United States of America were to deploy nuclear weaponry against Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and France, chances are the same thing would happen again: More Godzillas, and more anime. Do you think the world can really handle six animes? In the 1980's, United States President Ronald Reagan developed an idea known as "Mutually-Assured Destruction" (MAD). This philosophy stated that war with Russia would not happen, because there was no way to wage it without both countries being destroyed. I see this same situation today. We cannot nuke more countries for fear of mutually assured destruction when they create more anime. Thank you for your time.

I don't know how professional it is but I found this one.
I think we can attribute the general rise to price/availability of film and later the use of digital. The drop in the 80s must have to do with the invention of blockbuster and action movies. Nowadays every blockbuster is on the cusp of being as long as an epic.

If you don't have any bias against modern blockbusters it makes the theater going experience much better in my opinion. Watching 90 minute masterpieces is more comfortable at home.
>>70684051

I personally didn't because I wanted to rate every film I watched and couldn't accuratelly rate films I had seen a long time ago

I spent my teen years watching three movies a week in the theatre, sometimes many more, and the rest of the time watching movies on video.

>>70683793I didn't really care about its nature as a commentary on film making and perception. I like when MA gets to characters psyche like in L'Aventura, La Notte and L'Eclisse. So, what was left felt just a touched up thriller with some of his trademarks (like the apathy of his conclusion before the mimic scene) It loses its steam after the promising start (the first intense photo session was good), but there were still good scenes there (like when Thomas is in his 'living room' and the photos surround him and he changes the order here and there forming a sort of story/narrative)

>In a moment of full-disclosed earnesty here, why do people endow such laudatory aggrandizing to “great” filmmakers that add poetic moments of subtextual, allegorical, and metaphysical narrative into their films -- moments of enriching mythologizing of a story and which encapsulate an entire story into a single stanza -- but not to the likes of Kubrick when they do the exact same thing, simply because his means are more colloquial, more spectacular, more... populist? We applaud Rossellini when he films a ferret sinking its feral jaws into its furry little prey, to the heartbreaking chagrin of a beautiful and susceptible Ingrid Bergman oppressively detached from her husband’s hometown of Stromboli. We bowl over when Bresson features a deceptively happy-go-lucky rabbit enjoying a prance on the field, only to be brutally shot down to the stoic observation of the tragic adolescent Mouchette. Tarr has reached a height where he only needs film an animal in misery or in a cage and the fans react with engaged fervor on both intellectual and emotional planes. And, yet, the "arthouse" filmmaker who merely enjoys more "populist" (usually, contemporary) means of telling their story must endure their intellectual champions materializing as fratheaded Rottentomatoes-consensus-spewing “film buffs” and whacko conspiracy theorists that mistake basic visual literacy and film analysis as conspiracy? When Iñárritu’s mainstream “The Revenant” finds apathetic stares for its painfully profound cutaway of a lone buffalo, away from its massive herd, being picked out and brutally molested by a pack of hungry wolves that are soon to slaughter it for the necessity of their own survival, and when the exact same gesture garners tears for Bresson’s Balthazar, it’s madness.

not so fast plebby boi. most people who watch sports watch it for entertainment but some, a smaller group of people, watch it because of tactical elements of the sports. team sports are like chess. each coach/player makes a move and opponent reacts to it and makes a counter move. i find soccer, football, hockey and basketball extremely interesting because of that.
thats my superflous reasoning of why sports arent for dumb people
its just stupid of u to say that sports are for low iq people.
>>70693240
ALL professional sports championships are rigged. And not just rigged by referees (as the controlled opposition wants you to think) but rigged from the top to bottom with the assistance of select players and coaches on each team.
Every Super Bowl you have ever watched has been rigged. Most playoff games and regular season games too. Some superstars are manufactured (such as Cam Newton) and some are repressed if they don’t play along.
Most veteran QBs are in on the fixes, ALL head coaches, most coordinators, and certain players in certain positions (CB, OL, RB, WR, etc.). It’s important to know that not all the players or coaches are in on it, although some may suspect but are not willing to risk their career or earnings over it. Most of the players and lower level coaches are dupes IMO.
This also includes owners and GMs. Some owners are actually a front for corporations, agencies, or secret billionaires who really own the team (Terry Pegula comes to mind). To them it is just an investment. They don’t care if their team wins or loses, as long as the fans show up.
Super Bowl champions have more to do with narratives and giving favors to certain owners than with the play on the field. It’s a racket that has cost working class fans billions of dollars over the decades. It has also cost most players their brains and bodies, despite the outcomes being pre-determined. It also explains how Vegas is always so close to the real spread. Vegas never loses, because they know who’s going to win.
For those looking to do more research and go further down the rabbit hole, try to find out why nearly all of the expansion owners of the 1960’s came out of the Navy. That’s right, the NFL is a military creation. The Navy is the home of intelligence. Football is subconscious military promotion, originating from elite schools such as Harvard and Yale.
NBA fixes every game. The NHL is better IMO but fixes a few regular season games to ensure favored or big market teams advance and fixes all the playoff games that need fixing.
In case you’re wondering, Spygate , Bountygate, and Deflategate never happened. All done for marketing, awareness, and controlled opposition purposes. Done with full consent of all parties. Why would people risk their reputations? Well, you need to start asking who these people really are and if the biographies we are told are actually true.
For those open-minded willing to go down this path, prepare for depression, then enlightenment. The entire world you have been told by newspapers, TV, and media is not what you think it is.

'narritu is a goddamn visionary you dumb bitch. You dont know shit. a.g.i's on the up and up and he appeals to a wide age range. his underhanded masterful jabs and plethora of personas will crush you like under a steam rolling truck. A true creative. Unlike bar-lowered shit-content-pushers like tarantino or some other cancer. You gonna see a.g.i. gain more acclaim and you'll hate some more but nothing you post on this sorry-ass excuse for a board has a calculable fraction of the mass appeal as AGI's been able to concoct, faggot. Remember that.

No way would Hiro block the motherland. It's got to be Germany or another former Axis power.
I'm pretty sure it's just a joke, lads. Nobody significant in size is out, and banning Bolivia would be useless to cure servers. Just an epic xd jk

I'm 73! I was introduced to the website by my grandson who wanted me to do a question and answer here but I told him it was unlikely anybody from his age group saw my movies. I don't post all that much, and a lot of the conversations go right over my head I must say! However I do find the whole concept of the website very intriguing. I think if it had been around when I was young I'd have turned into a "neckbeard" too! It's great what you kids are doing and it's nice to visit from time to time to see the kinds of discussion going on about directors I read watched when I was a younger man. Sometimes I hear the same kind of opinions about certain directors that I heard when I was in my twenties! Anyway I saw this discussion and thought it would be quite funny to tell everybody how old I was .
