my teenage nephew does this. he went to see all 3 toby mcguire spiderman movies in theaters a few weeks ago
That's only because zoomers think those movies are memes, like Shrek, and he wanted to know all the jokes to not feel left out.
This..it's all memes and references to memes for kids now. They don't give a shit about your old man 2 hour borefest without a streamer.
>It's all memes and references now
>Posted this on the Bane board
It's the same for you and me guys, I'd totally go watch Audition (1999) because it's a bit of a meme among film circles, that doesn't mean the movie is bad or that I won't enjoy it for what it is.
Not me, watching the "so bad it's funny" stuff like The Room has always seemed boring to me and a waste of time. Sure I might laugh at some of the sillier lines and a 10 minute compilation of dumb parts on YouTube or whatever, but I've never felt the urge to watch the whole movie.
>so bad it's funny
That's not what I meant by "meme".
It just sounds like you're really uptight about what's "fun".
Stop being such bitter old farts. Even young people are missing the obvious soul that existed before. There is a moment where even the most moronic homosexual will realize the difference in quality
But it's also like a Window to look at the Old World.
I remember my niece watched Birds (Hitwiener) and she said
>Wow everyone is so beautiful
Kids these days just want to at least witness what they lost. Its even more painful for millennials since we basically experience the sudden shift from happy childhood to Hell
youre giving zoomers way too much credit
You really don't want to believe anything nice can happen.
Recent showings of Spiderman 2 had tons of zoomers in sold out theatres. It’s clear that modern movies are just shit.
Yeah I was surprised to see that two showings were completely sold on last Monday. I had to go to another theater that wasn’t sold out but it was certainly a packed house
things were like that in the past too, remember quoting movies and shit as well nothing new under the sun
>toby mcguire spiderman movies
They aren't even that old.
The world is separated into pre occupy and post occupy. Spiderman movies were on the right side of that spike.
When people say they like "old" movies these days it means a 25 year old movie.
Why the frick would anyone want to go see older movies in theaters when they run digital projectors now? It's not even film. It'll just be the movie you've seen before but BIGGER! They should invest into their own frickin industry and bring back film projectors and let people watch the films.
eh its good for kids who never seen those movies.
>Why the frick would anyone want to go see older movies in theaters when they run digital projectors now?
It's still better than watching them on a TV
I see mostly them in 35mm. Archival theaters prefer film. Sometimes dcp if film is difficult to obtain or it is in shit state.
>the movie you've seen before but BIGGER!
The sound is important too, the theater has much better speakers than I do
Definitely, but I wouldn't pay $15 or however much tickets are now to see a movie in the theater knowing it's digital. If it was a film projector, I'd highly consider it.
Last time I was in LA I went to the New Beverly and saw Jackie Brown. I had a chance to see Mad Max 2 with my business partner and Vernon Wells but I was busy that day. Still hurts.
Now this hurts bad.
living in southern california, theres quite a few theaters that show older films in its original form. its pretty cool actually if you actually care about such a thing.
there was this place that showed old horror movies in its original format and it was quite the experience.
I recently saw Fat City in a cinema. Pristine 35mm print. It was glorious.
>you'll never watch another movie on the big screen with grain, high dynamic range in color and cigarette burns
>NOOOO THOSE MOVIES ARENT QUEER AND TRANS INCLUSIVE ENOUGH!!!! I MUST BE THE CENTER KF ATTENTION!
settle down and have a nice day Black person.
I don't believe you actually got that out of what I said and you're just looking for (you)s so here it is. I gave it to you.
T-thanks
Baka
>T-thanks
Are you an ESL Black person? Who the frick starts to say "thanks" by saying the 't' sound first? It should be "th-thanks.." Fricking moron Black person.
>They should invest into their own frickin industry and bring back film projectors and let people watch the films.
No what they should do is invest in 4K and 6K projectors.
Unless you watch the screening in Digital IMAX/Cinemark XD/etc theater, then the projector is actually a 2K resolution projector.
All standard screenings are 2K projectors. Your home TV has higher resolution than the theater.
Even at 4K a frame has maybe a quarter of the detail as it can with 35mm film.
Most movies haven't been shot on film since the late 2000's. It started getting phased out around 2006-2008.
There are also quite a few theaters in northern California that do this too.
It was magical going to see 1930s films in high school in the local slightly dilapidated movie palace.

It's just fricking over. It's too comfy to watch at home. There's so much bullshit with going to the movies that is all removed when you can watch it at home. The seats suck, the screens are not that impressive anymore, and to top it all off people fricking suck in the theaters. No one has manners or knows how to behave in public anymore. Everyone talks, everyone is in their phone, people fricking stroll in halfway through the movie it's like we forgot how to interact in public and everyone just treats it like their private living room. Frick theaters it's over.
>the screens are not that impressive anymore
this is the thing that bothers me
you see these reviewers and they always go
>AND OH MY GOD THE EFFECTS THE SOUND
yeah okay b***h maybe in your super special imax in new york or whatever, in my tiny town the cinema is shit, the sound is terrible, and the screen quality is fricking abysmal and worse than my monitor at home
they're basically making money for an extremely tiny minority that live in huge cities and/or have so little of a life that they're willing to drive anywhere from 2 to 5 hours to see it "the proper way"
yeah no thank you, i'll pirate and watch it at home on my expensive tv
No anon. The "you have to see it on the big screen" has always been cope by morons with high time priority.
Movies have always been better to watch at home ever since VHS and it only got better over time
I got dragged to Black Panther 2 on a date. That was the last time I went to the cinema and I'm not planning to go back.
Why not just make good new movies?
Cool it with the antisemitism buddy
>Kills theaters
rtl 2?
I get it
Bring back porn theatres and peep booths
I've watched some 50 movies or so this year at least. Only Late Night with the Devil, Napoleon, Immaculate, ISS and Argylle were 2023/2024 releases.
From those, only LNWTD was good and Argylle/ISS were both atrocious.
>Argylle
Why?
It's the worst of 2 worlds:
-from one side, it's an algorithmic frankenmovie, including failed esg tropes (ele stronk wymmins, le fat woman who's a super duper action heroine)
-from the other, it is burdened by Vaughn's cringe "pop" mannerisms, including a beyond cringe Bollywood action sequence. Movie's acting is awful btw, very lazy. Likewise the subpar cgi.
i watched over 60 movies this year
but most of those are all the james bonds
the best movies i've seen were Monster (the jap movie from last year) and Death in Venice
Is this Oldboy in the pic? Because if we are classifying Oldboy as "old movie" now, we might as well give up society.
20 years is a decent age to start calling a movie old anon
>thinks 20 years isn't "old"
Older films will make bank in the smaller towns and suburbs where they don't have the degenerate night life of the urban hellscapes. Midnight movies give people a place to go and hang out and have fun, and the older films are perfect for them.
Yeah I'm seeing 2001 A Space Odyssey in the cinema soon. I've already seen it when I was a teen, but it was in the back of a car on a laptop with the sun glaring on the screen for most of it. Looking forward to seeing it presented for the medium it was designed for.
Enjoy your nap.

Alternatively they could actually start making good movies again instead of just showing old ones. It's not really that hard just get rid of the useless holes and Black person.
