    Movies legitimately haven't had soul for a while. I'd say 2006-2008 were the last years any movies had soul. After that it's been barreling of cinematic universes, woke oscarbait, and yammering about "the current thing". Cinema has become corporatized. Even studios that are hailed as a return to cinema like A24 are corporatized in their own way. At the end of the day it's about checking all the boxes and not art.

      It doesn't matter. It wasn't about what place you rented from, it was the experience of looking through everything, picking it out, taking it home, grabbing some food, and making an entire night/weekend out of it. Streaming can't replicate this.

Had to return the shit in the next day or get 3 dollar fine. Blamed you for scratched DVDs or un-rewind VHS. Staff were all stupid teenage buttholes. Only thing I must of Game Crazy.

      Vine was just proto tiktok (or rather proto-proto tiktok if you count musically). Those games are soulless nu-trash.

Those music examples are also soulless.

      Basically if this image is supposed to be giving me nostalgia for 2013 it is failing miserably. 2013 was shit tier as was every year following it (and immediately preceding it). 2010s as a whole was garbage and hardly better than today.

    I get so depressed when I watch mediea from like pre-2010, shit even pre-2016.
    It wasn't great then, but it's so much better now. Every time I go out now I have this strange feeling, it feels like there's an uncomfortable vibe everywhere. Like everyone secretly distrusts everyone else, I feel so bad for the kids who are gonna grow up in this time
    Even some simple show like KoQ, it's from a completely different time and watching it makes me yearn for that time

          Again, phones are a major culprit but it's also immigration. There is no basis for the United States to exist anymore. No one can agree on abortion, immigration, guns, even whether education is good. The country is no longer Christian, it's about to not be white, and English isn't even our official language. Why does this country exist? Purely to shuffle money around and maximize GDP.

        youu can watch, or already have watched 80´s and 90´s movies over 10 times. and you still can watch them, and feel and see the soul in it.

        what music is still remembered? the 80 and 90´s.
        not some katy perry or beyonce.....

        even the communication with other people.....
        what did yu do nowdays.
        smartphone, message apps,tewwt, social media......no soul.

        every human on this earth that had the luck to grow up in the 80´s and 90´s knows and has lived the real soul and kino times.

        thats it. never ever again.

          Get rid of smart devices and bring back the VCR as the way to watch movies, and maybe...

    SOVL is not a real word you nignogs

    Cinemaphile as a whole is populated mostly by people of average intelligence at best and aggressive anti-intellectualism. They substitute intelligence and intellectualism with a crude elitism founded upon a cynical contrarianism which is rooted in a shallow exploration of the subject in the main but more importantly in entry-level esoteric aspects of the subject, whose obscurity to the general public gives them a false sense of superiority in comprehension for being "in the know", unlike normie sheep.

    The obsession is driven by a need for identity in order to provide a sense of fulfillment for an otherwise lacking life. This induces a zealotry of preposterous degree, partially fueling the unwarranted rampant hostility here, but all that is beside the point.

    The point is that they take their surface level understanding as good enough, and never push for a real progress or development of the general understanding and narrative. The board knowledge becomes frozen in time and depth and always opens and ends the same way. You only very rarely get someone expertly well acquainted with the matters, who either provide ad hoc evaluations in the same flippant style of the general user that are difficult to recognize as genuine information, or else effortposts that go far too in depth beyond the capacity of the average user to comprehend and appreciate what's being said, so typically ignored or brusquely dismissed.

    That creates an environment hostile to experts, whose contributions are made to seem unwelcome. Experts are usually professionals acutely aware of when they are wasting their time, and so they shall choose to spend less and less of it discoursing here, and so the overall trend to the lowest common denominator continues unabated.

    I think the 90s/early-00s had the perfect blend of tech and regular life before social-media became WAY too prevalent.

            I would've played Duke 3D or Doom...never got into Quake but I think I would've tried it at a LAN Party.

          LAN parties back in the day being a young kid. You felt like a fricking genius knowing how to use a IP address to connect to a game server

          The monitor on the far left is a compaq, the first computer I owned had that monitor. Had the side attachable speakers and a nice feeling knob for volume control that also acted as the power button. Good times.

          knew people who played quake. Personally played a lot of Unreal Tournament, half life multi player team maps

      Indeed. We got LotR out of the early 2000s to prove it.

      Unironically miss the dial-up days. People made a point of only using the internet for a couple hours a day, and could only access it from internet cafes or home.

      Now, every fricker with a smartphone accesses it 24/7.

    This thread is just American nostalgia and muh soul for things that were already soulless, corporatist, consoomer trash. Come to Europe and see places that have actual SOVL and real history Americans, and you will be humbled.
