Its a trend....

TO BASH MOVIES.

Everyone claims that the movies back in the day were "better" and "more creative"

and yes, hollywood blows for the birth of this whole recent remake craze. BUT BESIDES THAT..
THE TRUTH IS....THE MOVIES BACK THEN WERE JUST AS BAD.

Difference is, the internet didnt exist, so people didnt get to jump on the "lets bash every lil detail of a movie, until we cant enjoy it anymore...just so we can look like we know what we are saying"bandwagon(when in reality, no credit is given to the fact that ITS NOT EASY TO MAKE A MOVIE and even a shitty "jack frost" movie..still was super hard to make.

Everyone is a critic. and im sure if some of the movies that came out 20 years ago, came out today....eveyrone would bash them to the ground..BUTT because they are "classics" ..they are FANTASTIC!.

Im a fan of 80s horror. Cheesy..gory...sexist..horror..bad effects...bad acting ..etc

but the truth must be told..

the internet has turned everyone into nitpicking critics......people need to just kick back and enjoy the movie...disregard plotholes..disregard edits..and JUST ENJOY

cause 98% of us cant do better...so who are we to judge?

I hope this bashing trend ends soon...so cinema can just be what it is.

Hollywood has always been about money....its always been about putting out trash to make an extra dime..

Its not a new concept.


whats new is everyone thinking they know everything.

If they original TCM came out today..people would have bashed it just as much as the 2003 version...

u get what im saying?

You cant win...everyone's a critic.
Its a pitty....its hurts the art world.

People who arent musicians bash singers and bands...

people who arent directors bash directors...

art has become a " who can show they know more " sport.

People will find anything to critisize these days. But to be honest, i think we should give credit even to the shit directors..and shit movies(music etc)...because its still an attempt at art. No director or writer says "i want to make shit" They all are really trying to make their mark with a "classic". Even jokes like "troll 2".( It might have been a failed attempt..but an attempt either way).

So id rather commend the attempt and enjoy it for what it was..as apose to just bash away for the hell of it...

art in the 21st century is definitly changing...still cant tell if its for better..or worse

and this makes skoof sad.



sorry felt like ranting.
