Adult people rave about children’s CGI cartoons, analyze and idolize them.
Mainstream is dominated by comic book adaptations. Reminder – comic books were mainly kids’ entertainment.
PG13 shit all over, even horror movies.
Latest Fast & Furious is like a movie literally written by a 14yrs old kid for 12yrs old boys.
Everything tentpole is trivial, childish and lacks any thematical depth.
Is it what’s left from our society? Hordes of simple minded drones craving for easy to digest flashy stories?
Big, mainstream tentpole movies from 80s or 90s while still far from high culture were far more interesting for intelligent human being, they were entertaining for thinking person while carrying at least some depth or thematic value.

Americans don't enjoy thinking anymore. This brings in a higher demographic

Welcome to 2017: when it's cool and hip to be an ignorant vapid shitlord.
It's a fucking shitty time for entertainment and media in general. Best to just stop paying attention to it and carve out your own little spot to chill and wait until things get better.

OK i know that, what interests me is what makes people eat their shit so eagerly. What social processes led us to this cultural downfall.

Just googled pepe wtf, sorry to disrespect you my Lord

What? Did you forget the film about gay niggers? That is the new high culture, which is far more disgusting than the new low brow.

Probably when shit like the Kardashians, Paris Hilton, Jersey Shore and other fake reality shows starting popping off.
People realized they didn't need to be smart to be successful so why bother.
Not to mention social media being such a massive fucking echo chamber that nobody thinks for themselves or does any real questioning of the world around them.
You ever get that thousand mile stare from some dipshit if you ask them a question about something remotely out of the realm of pop culture? That.
Caleb Wilson
Because the GA loves them >easily digestible plots >lots of action and special effects >accessible and juvenile humor that appeals to the average person
the masses don't really care about the movies they're watching. They just want a decent time with their friends and family. Most people who watch capeshit and F&F probably know they're dumb flicks, but they're decent to pass time
Carson Wilson
pop culture worship pop culture is at every stone in our society. you can't even blink without seeing a batman or finding dory ad everywhere. because those ads are everywhere. people think they HAVE to see them.
Jackson Jenkins
Yeah movies suck now. Go watch tv shows, there are many well written running now
Henry Long
That's also my assumption, just wanted to see what you guys think.
I love movies, like some more entertaining ones from time to time, but present tentpole productions seem more like soulless commercials calculated by Hollywood bookies.
Andrew Gonzalez
Look, I get you are butthurt, but grown people have little to no time to go to theatres so serious/mature themes transfered to TV(or ,what the fuck is equivalent to TV these days),young people still manage to go to theatre here and there so they make movies for them and for boy/girl first date-meme.

>Big, mainstream tentpole movies from 80s or 90s while still far from high culture were far more interesting for intelligent human being, they were entertaining for thinking person while carrying at least some depth or thematic value. Popular movies from the 80s and 90s are no better or worse than popular movies today.

What's there to criticize, everything is in high/mid/low shit tier.

Asher Lewis
Nothing has really changed, those dumb blockbuster action movies in the 80s and 90s are just as dumb as the ones today. These mainstream blockbusters have never about creating high art, it's all about making money. Hollywood is a business after all, they'll keep churning out more since people like them
Aiden Hall
Well, I disagree , RoboCop,alien,conan1etc(80 mainstream ) can't happen today
Liam Bailey
Holy shit this is so true
Eli Sanders
This is why I said it's best to just carve out a niche for yourself, OP.
Just surround yourself with the shit you like and ignore 99% of the trash out there that's created to please the lowest common denominator of society.

OK,how do you explain such close proximity to ww1&ww2 and nothing after, shit is little more complicated than that. Wars don't create good times or strong people as this pic implies, really stronk people don't fight in wars, they are survivors, and they become like that by not getting dead and know where to not push their nose.

real life historical heroes and myths have been replaced by cartoony comic book cookie cutter "le evil guy vs the good goys" characters
I mean really, did you think that applying modern shit like "problematic racism and institutionalized misogyny" to old historical figures and bashing them for it wasn't going to have any effects?
Today they just knocked down Robert E. Lee's statue in New Orleans who actually generally opposed slavery.
Lincoln Perez
Books were kids entertainment? Kids couldn't even read for like 90% of human history. Are you retarded?
