How come no one quotes or references modern media? Is everything just that soulless now?
nobody watches it
This is the way
Kys cuck
Screw your freedoms. The ZOGINATOR.
Two day special operation status, Ivan?
not him, but let's not pretend that Arnold saying that isn't worthy of excoriation and insult for as long as he is spoken of
What?
i dont like joe biden
am i a secret russian shill?
313 Palestinians died screaming within the last 24 hours
I remember when he said that. Not really surprising that a Hollywood actor said such things, but just goes to show how much of a grifter he is.
something something ivan
Without American freedoms, Arnie would still be sucking wieners under a bridge in Vienna.
People referenced the thanos snap a lot.
Do they? I've not watched the movies, so I don't know what they're supposedly referencing. Do they just say Snap? Or something?
They click their fingers... It's dumb. Isn't even required to do what it does.
you've seriously never heard anyone make a reference to the "thanos snap"? do you live under a rock?
>I've not watched the movies
so you don't fricking watch modern movies but you're mad that nobody references modern movies? how the frick would you know if they did, moron?
>Why doesnt anyone reference modern movies
>"We'll actually one of the most popular modern movies gets referenced all the time"
>Oh I haven't seen that movie
You can't just prove me wrong! I'M in charge here!
literally no one has ever done this outside a geicos commercial.
Marble movies get quoted all the time doe
i bet you can't come up with one quote.
"I hope they remember you"
Movies aren’t iconic anymore. Literally Name the last iconic movie.
Oppenheimer
the only memorable things about Oppenheimer were memes that weren't even in the film
I like Oppenheimer but that's cheating. The Trinity tests and Oppenheimer's confused regrets in the years afterwards were already iconic. Nolan bought it to life better than any other director has before (especially the whole Trinity sequence - frick me) but it was already one of the most iconic moments of the 20th century to begin with
>Oppenheimer when he realizes his atomic bomb was in fact an atomic bomb
Little Miss Sunshine was the last one, been so long now.
The Matrix
Joker
That movie was again another meme of the week thanks to the manifactured controversy.
Who the frick quotes it?
the entire scene where joker goes on murray's show is very quotable and iconic and has been exploited by dozens of memes
if we're not memeing and actually trying to answer, my reflex is to say Inglourious Basterds (if our standard includes having multiple bits of dialogue or phrases that would be instantly recognized).
>You're sheltering enemies of the state, are you not?
>Au revoir, Shoshanna!
>Margareehti, Dominic DeCoco, Gor-lah-mi
>The Beaaaar-Jew
>Bravery
and then of course there are iconic scenes and images that involve the intersection of dialogue and physical action "drei gläser".
Tarantino movies are very quotable in general
>Eight frickin’ whiskey sours?
>the Black person, in the stable, has a letter from Abraham Lincoln?
Those are not great pretty shit. We all know his best quote is dead Black person storage. Or, I'm pretty far from OK.
hello? Star Wars with sweaty monkey stormtrooper reveal?
Matrix, I guess.
In the same vein, when was the last iconic movie character created? Can't even rememeber.
Who Killed Captain Alex
only good movie ever made
Nolan Batman movies or some shit
Pulp Fiction, probably.
>Literally
Yep, it's another one.
i collect dvd's and every random box i buy always without fail has the transporter (2002) with gladiator (2000) is also in every collection i've ever bought
The Joker to a degree
Whiplash
Joker maybe. They tried to make Oppenheimer and Barbie iconic but the former is forgettable and the latter is some feminist bore which only became a meme on right wing Twitter because of Ken
Joker. Unironically.
What's left of it when the leftist media meltdown went away?
>Literally Name the last iconic movie.
Dunno.
I'd like to say LOTR, but as good and well liked as it was, did influence culture?
I don't see it quoted and never influenced aesthetic nor started a fantasy renassance or something.
Matrix maybe? It would be pretty depressing, since it was what? 25 years ago?
LOTR already had an impact in pop culture since it was a successful book. Granted, its biggest influence was in more niche interests like gaming and rock/metal music.
>nor started a fantasy renassance or something.
It absolutely did thoughever. Every big fantasy novel was eyed for a big budget adaptation in the 00s. Ironically, I think the Hobbit trilogy ended that period.
Mad Max Fury Road
Buck Breaking
Transformers trilogy. Dark Knight.
unironically Avengers: Infinity War and Joker were the last movies to get quoted and talked about a lot by normies
People recite movie quotes are insufferable
I'm not a movie quote guy but I am a 'this is like that Seinfeld/Frasier episode' guy.
Whenever something even remotely like a Seinfeld bit happens I will then recite the entire plot of the episode it reminds me of to whoever I'm with
It's probably really annoying
When someone like you start talking to me I start singing the Aida very loudly, until they stop.
For you
Frankly my dear , i don't give a damn
Anon, remember back then there was no Netflix, no YouTube, no instagram stories or just a barrage of constant media in your face.
Now there is so much media out there, that's it's hard for something to stand out, and when it does the short attention span of the modern audience quickly moves on to the next thing.
Yeah this, last things me and my friends were quoting was some stuff a moron trapper said in an interview
SHOW ME THE MONEY
op you are a massive homosexual and your shits all moron
-Thr justice League
Dr Pavel I'm CIA
The last one was Joker, but that movie has aged badly.
I quote Chernobyl, but that one had memes that were so popular here they branched out into the normiesphere. You had video games set in Chernobyl saying 3.6 roentgen
Never watched it, must be normieslop like GoT.
Then how would you know anything about quotes from modern media if you don't watch it?
How has the movie aged badly?
Maybe because there was nothing to it beyond the fake controversy hype
all modern media does is reference the classics and call it good writing. why quote the quote that was quoted in the original kino when you can quote the original quote
That's my secret. I'm always a homosexual.
New quotes will come around, but it is very rare now
That's not really iconic
You wouldnt get it.
>how come no one quotes modern media
>what about the joker
>bu-but that's not iconic
shut up, moron.
I think quotes and references are just called "memes" these days.
Most new popular movies and shows get those.
a meme is meta shit that isn't in the movie.
Doesn't count as quote and doesn't make a movie iconic.
Because it is mindless and forgettable and no one gives a shit
You can just make up your own quotes and references with social media nowadays. Movie quotes are a vestige of the old media monoculture, slowly fading from relevancy more and more with each passing day.
Because modern media uses so much quotes and references there's nothing new to quote.
All is shit now, and even when it isn't, it just doen't stay with you
Nobody watches it
Is not shared knowledge
Movies used to be at the forefront of youth culture. Think just 20-years-ago you had The Matrix, Star Wars, Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean, Fast and the Furious, etc. movies all releasing every other year. My son was born in 2015 and there isn't really any movies for kids that have the same impact these days as Jurassic Park, or even Home Alone, did in the 90s.
This is a good post. Movies are barely peripheral these days especially to kids.
>there isn't really any movies
Other anons might be right, the last "iconic" and quotable movie was Joker. Hasn't been anything since Covid.
I say "ow, that's fricking hot" before I throw shit all the time now after watching Beau is Afraid.
Everybody here is wrong but I don't have time to refute them
I'll come back tomorrow to explain
Hasta la vista, homosexual
yer fonda me lobster, I kin tell
Based but I wouldn’t call it iconic
well I would
And you don't get to interrupt that.
Old movies were quotable because they were sincere, but now sincerity is deemed as cringe due to the cynicism perpetrated by the internet so every movie has become self aware to avoid mockery, so they don’t do stuff like drop cheesy one-liners anymore because autists are gonna pick them apart and then normalgays gonna parrot their opinions and make a mockery out of the movie
They obviously do, it's just that the modern references go out of fashion much faster.
References to older media are persistent.
I think it's simply because there's so much more media today, not always of the same type though.
If there are fewer entertainment inputs into people's minds, but people aren't any dumber, they repeat the same information through talk and rumination. So the repeated information becomes reinforced, people remember it.
Older people who have seen the older media act as a seedbank to repeatedly 'infect' younger people with their old memes. The younger people are comfortable forgetting their own memes and taking on new ones.
>but people aren't any dumber,
They actually are
using quotes or movie references IRL is a sign that a person has poor interpersonal skills
Who is Albebah?
>"I'll be back"
Nowadays it's "I'll be black"
> boomers with meagre social circles pretend they’re the authority on pop culture
This thread lmao
Your upvoters aren't a social circle
Shows/movies aren’t being constantly repeated and people can watch anything ever made whenever they want
Plus new stuff isn’t as well made
There were less options. Or rather, there were the promoted films and a whole bunch of random stuff that were too obscure to be on the radar for most people that cult followings would form over.
They do, it just doesn't stick because they're done to death and become stale due to the internet. Imagine seeing "I'll be back" used in some capacity 10 times a day after the film gets released. Shit gets old fast.
Still see people referencing Thanos quotes to this day.
Such as?
I've never seen that
Damn near everything he says. The ones I hear the most though are "You couldn't live with your own failure and where did it bring you? Back to me.", "Dread it, run from it, destiny arrives all the same", "Im sorry little one", and "perfectly balanced, as all things should be."
That's because Avengers was the last culturally homogenous moment. Everyone saw it. Now in the TikTok era everything is divided among smaller communities and subcultures and an endless flow of random videos. No one watches the same things. Taylor Swift is another rare example of homogeneity in our culture now and why no one can even compete with her
>Taylor Swift is another rare example of homogeneity in our culture now
well, among women, anyway. I am only tangentially aware of her existence and wouldn't recognize any of her songs from the last several years
this "I'm gonna debunk taylor swift" schizo shit is getting really old
the actually amount of people on the street that you could ask to sing a line from a recent Taylor Swift is probably 1 in 100 maybe more like 1 in 300. it is the most fakest pathetic shit of an 'artists' popularity overhaul i have witnessed.
I think you're just out of touch or just only interact with minorities. Happens to the best of us.
I can't tell if this is bait or mental illness
I think he's on to something. Everyone knows "Shake it off" and several of her other hit songs... from fifteen frickin' years ago. While I hear about women talking about going to Taylor Swift concerts still, there's no fever to listen to her new stuff. She's obviously propped up well past her expiration date at this point.
But then, who would replace her? Some blobby fat, black orca whale that can play the flute?
you guys seriously need to go outside
Barbie, I guess.
The 80 yo brand is iconic. Not the movie
Nobody watches modern media, so if you did quote it, nobody would know.
There was more of a monoculture then.
And the farther back you go, the less there was to watch so everyone watched the same thing.
Today everything is fragmented and a dozen shitty movies come out a week.
Almost every TV show had a catch phrase, too. And then we got 100+ channels. And then we got the internet.
everyone is quoting dracula flow right now
Yes, modern media is just soulless. That's the plain and simple truth.
I still hear “my name is jeff” all the time
i am kenough
I hear breaking bad quotes non-stop. Is breaking bad not modern enough?
I wouldn't really call it modern
Witness me is pretty good, from mad max. can't think of anything else recent, but tbf i mostly stopped watching movies in the last 10 years
when I have a nice shit I say to myself "I had a nice sheet" in Borat's voice
>for you
>no more dead cops
>I ordered my hot sauce an hour ago
>
>Kal el NOOO!
>I'M PICKLE RICK!!!
"save the cheerleader save the word" is the greatest quote our generation had.
people reference stupid shit that is trending on their social media platform of choice
Are you moronic? How many Taylor swift and Barbie references have you had to stomach this year?
Anta baka?! The amount of absolute shitter films with a cultural impact is at an all time high.
People reference VTubers now.
Things do become memes…but there just isn’t much that’s rememberable or even that good
The sequel trilogy gave us these fun little bits:
>Somehow... Palpatine has returned...
>They fly now? They fly now.
Now compare those two jokes, somehow being the only prevalent one, to the sea of memes from the original 6 movies. NuWars is so sterile there’s nothing to even joke about.
I just re-watched Terminator after Oliver Harper did a 'bad movie bible' on it what a great movie
