Brings up things that will not be made today.

Goonies= Super 8, and what has spun from Stranger Things? IT
Halloween well yeah more Halloween
The Thing=Harbinger Down, and uh The Thing.

There has been a shift, and it has opened the door for so many others to play in a field that had been dominated by those Stallone, etc movies he mentioned.

He loves to complain about everything.

It's ironic too that he points to the likes of Stallone and Arnold in this context because back in the day they themselves were the subject of this exact 'they don't make 'em like they used to, where have all the giants gone' handwringing.

Action movies were sneered at as mindless mayhem and all style over substance and Stallone and his ilk weren't even real actors (let alone real stars), they were mere action heroes.

ArrestedDevelopment · 04-22-2020, 06:10 AM

Guy's absolutely right.

He talks about the "death of the movie star" and how the brand or character itself sells rather than the actor. I think that's pretty true these days with the exception of a few high profile names (e.g. Leo).

"Making movies for 16 year olds and China" - true, especially when directors have to neuter their films to knock down the MPAA rating and/or pander to the younger demographic. Pandering to China is a whole nother shit show (refer to Transformers, Kong, Pacific Rim).

He must have at least 100 sock accounts here.

I love how he complains about the state of the film industry, and he's correct about it, while being part of the problem. Shut up and collect your Avengers paycheck.

“Hey cinemas dead, let me cash in these Marvel cheques and tell you how bad everything is”

Seriously, I’m fed up of hearing about how Hollywood doesn’t take risks anymore. It’s pretty much been like that since the 80’s, it’s been like this my entire life, I don’t know why people are acting like they’ve only just woken up and smelt the coffee now. You are all part of the problem, stop acting like films begin with superheroes and end with Star Wars, stop being complicit in your own navel gazing and go and support some original projects, independent films and world cinema and make a point to show there’s some interest in new shit.
