To add onto that, I still wonder how John Landis didn't go to prison for 30 years, since he's directly responsible for 3 people dying.

In some cases I do like seeing some hyper realism, depends tho, it's done poorly a lot to be realistic

ya some stuff is amazing now too 4sure. Drama never veen more...dramatic lol

I kinda weigh Landis and Roman Polanski as pretty equal on my "Directors whom I will never watch a film from" scale, utterly shit human beings who escaped justice because this world sucks

 

[Kyle Gage]

t1 is more like syfy/horror film

@Chris agreed. There's nothing wrong with the familiar.

if you can take an old trope that's been done a million times and make it still feel unique to your story, I'll tend to be even more impressed

Ig my main gripe now too : almost no original content. All franchuse rehashes n meta world building. Its a bit samesy all the time

 

[Canadian Dragon]

But ig thats mostly just mainstream

the original stuff doesn't get promoted that well either, some still really good but I won't even hear about it until like a year later

All the big companies budgets just go to franchises now, it's all that draws. Nostalgia

Retreads will always be more appealing than original films.
