From Disney to Warner Bros., Hollywood's largest studios are struggling to keep pace with cultural change. Meanwhile, smaller studios are taking risks and shaping the future of film.
Say you were 8 years old in 2010. Now you are 24. There are certainly people who grew up with iPads and tablets, or things like an iPod touch, who have kids now.
Coincidentally they just releases teaser today for a fascinating new Innaratu/cruise film. Very intrigued. I'm hoping Supergirl makes bank this weekend but we know magamerica doesnt like women led superhero films.
Yes. Hard to do neo-noirs in the age of modern forensics and cell phones. And what about drones? At some point, very few law enforcement officers will be busting down the door with weapons drawn. What happens to car chases when autonomous vehicles become the norm? As our society advances, we may have to make more films set in the past.
good points, watching Disclosure Day felt like time traveling back to the past.
The mainstream adoption and usage of AI has really only been a thing for the past 2-3 years, which is hard to believe because it's been pushed so forcefully into everything within the last year.
Hollywierd issue is that they keep pumping in bs political correctness into it and it's a issue that goes back to the mid 90s. What made the 1st Toy Story so great was there really wasn't a political lesson to it, the moral of the story was simple and wasn't the main focus of the movie.
People are tired of being lectured to by Hollywierd
You cite current humor coming from awkwardness, specificity, social commentary, etc.
Most of those suffuse the humor in every generation, with the most timely being awkwardness, and cringe comedy is about five years past its expiration date.
Great points. I agree. I also recently saw Disclosure Day and there are parts that don't hold up and do feel dated. There's so much that Spielberg could have done with the story, but didn't. I'm wondering if it's because mainstream Hollywood is looking to play things safe to make a profit. Sequels and reboots can make a lot of money at the box office if done right, but then Hollywood comes off as out of touch. Although "I Love Boosters" didn't all come together for me, I still give it praise because it's a unique film. Sure, I love my sequels and reboots, but honestly, I'd love to see a really unique take on Star Wars (or another big IP). I think studios are hesitant to take risks because of fears that a film won't turn a profit.
I miss movies that deal with real people, and to be completely honest I wasn’t too excited for latest Spielberg movie even though I consider myself a fan of his original movies.
ipads came out in 2010 - the first kids who grew up with them are barely in high school. They are not bringing kids of their own to see Toy Story 5.

Wasn't it just last year we were celebrating warner brothers hot streak of original films?
We were. Where did they go this year?

This post describes me. I loved going to the movies, but rarely go to the movie theater, and don't even try to keep up with new releases.
The flipside is that we have communitoes here to direct us to other things to watch, and can explore underseen movies.

Time comes for us all.
HollyWeird is dying, and it's deliberate.
