I honestly don't know how I feel. Most content feels like 'consume our product/content and give us monthly fee' instead of nice shows and movies. Everything seems to have a point where it pulls me out and I find myself questioning if I'm crazy or if everything feels like shit.

There are some amazing gems, but for years it feels like Hollywood has cared less and less about making cool and engaging media and are instead of focusing on manipulating people.

I'm sure the problem is coming from the top, but writers and actors have been pretty shit too

Everything is shit. Quality is down and prices are up.

People gladly have been lowering their standards for years so those profiting off of them can make even more money.

Most actors are awful these days. Like, look at Chris Pratt lmao. That guy is terrible but very popular among children and manchildren.

We don't have this generations' Tom Hanks yet.

The only way to watch live action stuff that isn't kiddie-bullshit is to watch things in other languages. They still have integrity and aren't just loading their actors up on cocaine to cover up bad acting.

This is probably the worst take I've ever heard. It's actually amazing how much i disagree with almost everything you've written here.

And, Tom Hanks is still acting, Tom Hanks is literally this generations Tom Hanks.

There's so much excellent acting and directing in the world at the moment i just can't fathom how you have come to your conclusions.

I'm sorry, we're just going to have to agree to disagree.

Hope you like the new marvel movie coming out.

[-] FatCrab@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, only marvel movies come out now. Everything else is actually banned at the moment. Christ, your takes are fucking awful.

If you want a gem, I recommend checking out Undone. It's by the same guy who made Bojack Horseman.

You can stream it for free here: https://fmovies.to/tv/undone-70zyj/1-1

Just make sure you have a good adblocker, like uBlock Origin.

I've barely even noticed this writers strike because I've hardly even bothered to watch any new Hollywood movies or TV shows in literally years. Everything I have seen recently has been complete garbage. So I find myself watching older shows again and again, more YouTube content, educational and history stuff like that...heck, I've been following some modern film critics like Red Letter Media and just watch their commentary vs the real thing, and it's usually much more entertaining.

I think Hollywood is going to use this opportunity to replace the writers with AI. If it works great, if it doesn't work, nobody will notice or care.

I subscribed to Britbox and find the writing and acting of much higher quality. Plus, the stories are generally more interesting with more feeling. I mainly watch that, watchTCM, and certain YouTube channels.
