So many of you suffer from nostalgia retardation. No, your underbudgeted 80s/90s action slop is not better than what's being produced right now. Grow up.
So many of you suffer from nostalgia retardation. No...
I watched Robocop for the first time last year
It's better than what's being produced right now
Excalibur is one of the best films ever so no youre wrong
This fucking trash should go well.
No, your underbudgeted 80s/90s action slop is not better than what's being produced right now
It absolutely is though. It's not even rose-tinted goggles, because I have no nostalgia for that period. It's just empirical fact that movies are worse now than they were for a multitude of complex reasons
it literally is tho. name a good action movie of the last ten years? doubtful because they are all completely forgettable
I only saw Aliens and Predator last year and they hold up better than all the crap made today
she thinks is not about the scripts
RoboCop is overrated and the remake mogs it both in the body horror department as well as on the family stuff.
True but it's an outlier. That being said, The Northman from a couple of years ago, a similar movie, is very good.
Retard.
It's not even rose-tinted goggles
Yes, it is.
name a good action movie of the last ten years
Are you retarded?
Furiosa
GANTZ:O
13 Hours
I like it when zoomies act superior but can't even quote posts correctly
There's not a single doubt in my mind that all that stuff was better than the shit today, and by miles. I even realize that the times weren't that much better, but the art certainly was.
Don Draper says in his pitch to Kodiak for their slide projector that Nostalgia means “the pain from an old wound”. But its literal origin is from “Nostos” meaning “return home” and “Algia” meaning “pain”. So some take that to mean “the pain of returning home” while others think of it as “the pain from the desire to return home.” Either way, time marches forward and you can never return home. Not really. But that pain isn’t meant to deter you from pressing forward, it’s meant to inform your present. You learn to appreciate the things you didn’t realize you had back then. You learn to recognize them when they occur in the moment. You learn from your mistakes and try to guide younger people from making the same mistakes. Nostalgia isn’t a path for escapism, it’s life’s great teacher.

can't engage with anything that's been said
I accept your concession. You may go die now (of old age).

GOATed taste, gal. Enjoy your estrogen slushies.
Irrelevant.
If that was true than any random episode of tales from the darkside wouldnt have a higher productiom value than a modern movie. The only thing made with a budget in the last decade is star wars slop.
This isnt even a new discussion. From 2012 onward movies have become big budget tv shows and tv shows have become low budget overlong b movies.
The only thing made with a budget in the last decade is star wars slop
nostalgia anon is a total retard
Thanks for proving my point.
Recency bias
Give me a RECENT action film that is better than Heat
You can't
I rewatched Aliens versus Predator this week and it holds up better than Mad Max Road Warrior and Escape From New York.
OP is right in that not everything from the 80s and 90s is better than everything from the 2000s or today.
John Wick, unironically
John Wick
better than Heat
LMFAO! Back to r*ddit you go little guy
Alita Battle Angel
Heat isn't even a good movie
Heat is shit. Meme actors and melodrama. Nothing special.
but muh sound design
I don't care.
Give me a RECENT action film
I've mentioned multiple ones early but we can of course add to them. So this round I'll add Avatar: The Way of Water.
I'm not him, but I'm 35 and would classify John Wick as a better action movie.
If you want to say "better movie period" that's a different story.
Not recent but Commando is better than Heat and no, Alita and Wick are not better than Commando or Terminator Judgement Day. Anyone saying otherwise has brainrot
Heat is still better than Wick thoever
I was just thinking about those exact two movies just 10 minutes ago. 1987 was a phenomenal year. Aliens was 1986. Then in 1987 we had Predator, Robocop, Full Metal Jacket, Lethal Weapon, Princess Bride, The Untouchables, Planes, Trains and Automobiles, The Running Man, Withnail & I, Near Dark, The Lost Boys... I could go on.
We just don't get movies like these now.
Stuff like The Gorge, Furiosa, Avatar 2, Athena brutally mogs old ass stop motion boomer flicks. Boomies can't even comprehend that level of kino.
If you want something that's stylistically more dated but still mogs, go for Ritchie's recent work (Wrath of Man, The Covenant) or Eubank's (Underwater, Land of Bad).
Avatar
Only liked by contrarians. No one gives a fuck about ayy lmao Pocahontas
Furiosa
Fucking kek. At least say Fury Road if you're gonna bait as not a single soul cared about furiosa and rightfully so.
No. It's only disliked by contrarians, as the box office no doubt proves. And reducing it to the muh Pocahontas nonsense meme only shows how little you know about film.
It's pretty funny how NOTHING the impact of that movie was, and then the next one came out after 10 years or something and it's the same again
Alita and Wick are not better than Commando or Terminator Judgement Day. Anyone saying otherwise has brainrot
Nobody said this.
Alita is better than Heat though. Heat is just not that good.
No, your underbudgeted 80s/90s action slop is not better than what's being produced right now.
It's not even about being better or not, it's about the feeling. The emotional value.
Ahh youre retarded
Furiosa is better than Fury Road.
You people think in memes. Congrats, you're legit braindead. The amount of technological progress something like Avatar brings is incomprehensible to a memetard like you.
What's the emotional value of Escape from New York and Assault on Precinct 13? Did I have to grow up in crime-heavy neighborhoods to get these films or what?
No I don't fucking want to see a little girl get shot in the head by some punk for shock value. No I don't want all of the main characters except Snake to just suddenly die avoidable deaths in the last 10 minutes of the movie so that the president can revert to a stereotypical politician which somehow justifies Snake fucking over the world.
No I'm not gay, I'm just not an underage edgelord anymore.
But the 10 devoted Avatar fanboys will tell you Avatar had the dame impact as the og Star Wars trilogy lmao.
Furiosa is better than Fury Road
Maybe on planet retard
Oh look, zoomie learned a new word. Good for you, it doesn't make GCI slop not soulless
I think that's your neighborhood.
muh CGI is bad
You're like some jungle savage who's afraid of a camera.
No, your underbudgeted 80s/90s action slop is not better than what's being produced right now. Grow up.
It's way better. There's single movies from the 90s that are better than whole years from 2007+.
There's single movies from the 90s that are better than whole years from 2007+
Name them.
You're like some jungle savage
But your generation worships those, so that's hardly an insult
Let's take it from a dictionary. Emotions are related to people's personal feelings, about what they feel while experiencing anything. It's not an universal stuff. It's not about being edgy or not. If people enjoy watching nostalgia faggotry, it's because these stuff still feel something special or emotionally comfy for them. It doesn't need to be directly related to 80s stuff.
I know the love for Alita is kind of a meme around here man but c'mon, what you're saying is absolutely ridiculous.
It's boomers who worship those, not who has to share a classroom with them, genius.
Deathstalker is a work of art OP and nothing you say can change that.
I've actually sat through a ton of Sword & Sorcery slop and have read it too (Conan, Elric, Fafhrd) and no, Death Stalker is proof boomers are on average no talent tasteless manchildren.
There is quite a bunch, thus I'll start low, like, Trainspotting.
I think your post speaks for itself, especially in the context of this thread.
I bet you're scared of sex scenes
Not scared but annoyed rather. They provide unnecessary temptation and are rarely justified.
