Remember when you'd leave a movie theater thinking that was the coolest shit you'd ever seen? I haven't felt that way in a long time.
>>214305876last time i felt this is when i saw transformers Dark of the Moon from 2011.
>ywn see something as amazing as the balrog on the bridge with gandalf in fellowship
yeah i remember watching Manchester by the sea
>>214305876>Go to kinoplex>Watch trailers>Guaranteed to be at least one of them I would rather see than what I am seeing
>transformers 4>edge of tomorrow>pacific rim>mission impossible 5its over
>>214305876The Matrix was the last movie that I felt that way about.
>>214305876I was thinking that this year in particular. The last time I think I left the cinema impressed was The Banshees of Inisherin, and even then it wasn't anything mindblowing, though I do like it.
>>214305876I've had that wonderful feeling with Sinners, Weapons, Superman, etc. 2025 has been great for movies.
>>214306035how do bot posts exist on 4chan?
>>214305876I felt that wonderful feeling with Superman, Sinners, and Weapons. 2025 has been great for movies.
>>214305876Watch Weapons then dumbass you'll feel alive again
>>214306058>>214306128i wish i could kill you
>>214306035>>214306058>>214306128I'm not watching anything that was made as the result of a ritual sacrifice.
>>214306035>>214306058those movies are trash
>>214305876>I haven't felt that way in a long t-
>>214305876I felt that way last time I watched the second avatar movie
>>214306185You're just older. In twenty years time, they'll be the new classics.
Last time i felt this is when i saw Mandy, a george cosmolopolous joint
>>214306192What is this. Looks like shit.
>>214306192Kek wtf is that from?
>>214306192>people were not exaggerating about this scene in the slightest
>>214306239>>21430624328 years later
>>214305876Yeah, Kung Fu Panda in 2008
>>214305876I felt that way after the Revenant. Before that? ... maybe inglorious basterds. Very rare. It used to be damn near every movie
>>214306216in 20 years no one will give a fuck about these movies.
>>214305876I remember that day very well it was September 6th. Chronicles of Riddick just came out and we celebrated a friend's birthday at the theater and watched Riddick. I gifted him 2x of each mirrodin block boosters, motherfucker pulled a darksteel Colossus, chrome mox and fucking lightning greaves. I was really upset but I enjoyed the movie, in retrospect it wasn't that great
>>214306216Anon we’re in the death throes of Hollywood.
>>214305876I felt this way in 2018 when I watched Spiderverse 1.
>>214305876Even random dumb shit was sick, like I remember seeing The Mechanic with Statham and The Grey on a whim and both those times for random schlock I was blown away.
>>214305947god damn do you remember how cool that wasthere wasn't even advertising beyond "what is the matrix"i miss that so much, when there used to be zillion dollar movies with no hype and they just let them blow up organicallyyou never discover gems on your own anymore
>>214306035Leap off a cliff you creepy, diddling tranny.
>>214305876Remember when youre the first out of the cinema when the credits start
>>214306192For me it’s the bad editing like a dirty person will get smacked then three cuts will happen before their body reacts to the hit and they then go flying lolWhy are they dirty and naked? (dont answer that I don’t care(
>>214305876I felt like that after Weapons, the problem is that /tv/ hates everything new and you let them influence your opinion. You MUST hate the new thing in order to fit in, after all.
Anyone else remember the time where when you finished the movie and the credits were rolling you could just leave? No critical plot relevant post credit scenes setting up anything? I sure miss those fucking times.
>>214306963they're dirty and naked because the english gave into their inner rage and decided that hunting and gathering is better than civilisation
>>214307006the recent movies I've seen are godzilla minus one, the boy and the heron, super mario bros, better man, deadpool and wolverine, a complete unknown and weapons and I basically liked them all except for super slop bros and deadpool and sloperine
>>214305876I felt this way after seeing 28 Years Later earlier this year.
>>214305876I explicitly remember this feeling when I saw the matrix as a child. It was surreal. I was the perfect age to allow for complete immersion but still child like fun. I always wondered what I would be like as an adult when I was that age. And here I am. Alone. No friends. No lover. No life. Writing this to strangers on the internet. What a life.
>>214305947This.
>>214307093I still remember the feeling walking out of the cinema as a 14 year old.
>>214305947>>214307125Hey..youre me>>214307093
>>214307159Me too man. So vividly. Perhaps my top 3 core memories desu. That and that movie Baseketball as a kid. Lol
>>214305876yeah you are pushing 40 and have actual life experience so seeing lasers guns shooting for 90 minutes isn't the pinnacle of entertainment anymorecongrats?
I liked DUNC 2, 1917, Bladerunner 2049 and Joker.
>>214307251Shut the FUCK up
>>214305876I did it this year with 28 Years Later
>>214305876It's probably been about 15 to 20 years since that.
>>214306897I remember being purposefully contrarian and saying it was mediocre when I left the theater, because my best friend wouldn't shut the fuck up about how we had just seen the coolest movie of all time and we needed to immediately watch it again.
>>214307395Your friend was right. You were the annoying one.
>>214307395Gaylord
Man i'm so glad that i'm not a jaded boomer and i can still enjoy new movies.
>>214307671It goes far beyond "enjoyment" you faggot halfwit. Imagine trying to act smug while completely missing the point of the thread.
I haven't been to the kinoplex in over 20 yearsThe last thing I remember watching there was LOTR Return of the King, on 2 grams of mushrooms, somehow I managed not to spiral into a dark place even though the movie starts out right away showing a cold-blooded murder
remember going with a girl and not giving a fuck if the movie was shit or not
>>214307395I argued with my friend over that. He didn't even have a good critique, it was just "that was dumb"
>>214307766Kek, seethe, some of the best films came out in the 2020s. Stay jaded.
>>214307795i cant watch movies on mushrooms without full on bawling my eyes out at sad scenes, even if its just like sad music or dialogue or if a character appears sad.
>>214307958lmao
>>214307937Damn. Im so happy im not you.
>>214308031kek youre stuck with 80s slop forever while i get a new KINO every month
>>214305876Infinity War was the last epic film.>Infinity War was released 7 years ago.
>>214308123No one in this thread has mentioned a movie from the 80s though. Do you even know what we are talking about? Are you okay anon?
>>214305876>Remember when you'd leave a movie theater thinking that was the coolest shit you'd ever seen?
>>214308172>Infinity War
>>214308236infinity war is the best film in the franchise. you are just a contrarian.
>>214308194>o one in this thread has mentioned a movie from the 80s thoughwell too bad im talking to you grandpa
>>214307958Yeah I know that's why I only took 2 grams. That's a party dose.
>>214305876Andri Rublev, Le Samourai were when it happened to me. Retrospective screening ofc.
>>214305876>be me senior year of high school>been flirting and hanging out with this chubby half-latina chick at my small town rural high school>she's got a boyfriend but they're fighting/on a break>I wasn't any chad but her boyfriend was as scrawny band kid who probably weighed 100 lbs soaking wet>saturday night she texts me all pissed off, says we're going to the drive in theater next town over>go to pick her up in my SUV>she's dressed in all denim and seeths anger>ask her what's up and she says nothing, but that we're gonna have a fun night>get to the drive in around dusk. Iron Man 2 is playing>I put the seats down in the back of the SUV and lay out a comforter for us to lay on>turns out her boyfriend was there with a group of his friends about 5 cars down>about a third of the way into the movie we start making out and she says to close the back of the vehicle up>we end up fucking in the back of my SUV surrounded by other cars with families and stuff>get dressed and open the back of my SUV up to see like the last 10 mins of the movieidk what her boyfriend did but I left that movie thinking it was the coolest movie I'd ever gone to
>>214308481oh, and she was on birth control and would whimper for me to cum inside her when we fucked. shit was fucking cash
OP here. When I say cool It didn't even necessarily have to be bad ass action stuff. Movies then just had a way of filling you with wonder and making you autistically obsessed with the subject, themes. Last time I felt that was watching Whiplash.
>>214307937Such as?
>>214308258That's ironman
>>214309336Hopefully he just means historical period pieces like Nosferatu.Can't imagine watching modern actors playing modern characters from the globohomo 2020s and thinking it's an even remotely tolerable experience let alone a good movie.
>>214309644I think hes just a redditfag zoomer with no point, besides trying to get attention.
>>214305876The ending of Desolation of Smaug was pretty cool.
>>214305876Fried dopamine receptors
>>214305876i think the one time i felt that way was after watching the matrix, went with my family without knowing anything about it, i unironically get the chills thinking about that experience
>>214310348>well if you stare at a wall for X amount of years Ghostbusters 2016 might be good
>>214310467I think it ends up like those faggotty rainbow crosswalks in FloridaEventually the townsfolk work up the nerve to paint over it and get rid of it
No, I feel embarrassed leaving a movie theatre.
>>214310683Why embarrassed
>>214305876I'm taking up refuge here away from /v/ to avoid silksong spoilers. Holy shit I'm so sorry about the state of your board and the industry in general. /v/ is a total dumpsterfire of inorganic shilling for gacha trash the mods refuse to remove for some reason and blatant rage baiting schizos. It's fucking awful, but it is indicative of high levels of activity and engagement. This board by comparison is a fucking retirement home. Where's the energy? The only reasonable explanation is the state of the industry is in such dire straits that there is not only nothing of interest to discuss but also no one left to discuss with.
>>214305876i haven’t watched a movie and felt like the mf for a month since i watched the wolf of wall street
>>214310739I'm not sure. It's something to do with you having just experienced this thing with this group of people and you can feel the energy shift in the room when it's over and you're expected to show feeling. I get embarrassed seeing others excited or looking at eachother with any emotion as a response to the movie.
>>214305876Taken in 2009.
>>214305876Godzilla Minus OneThe only one in like 15 years
Transformers 2007 wowed me. I was like 16 at the time. Being adult sucks.
>>214310893That's not embarrassment that's a subconcious anxiety response. You aren't part of the collective, you are the other. Advertisers have been leveraging this manipulative trick for centuries to sell products based on in group and out group pressure alone. >Hi I'm a Mac and I'm a PC
>>214306192Based fellow 28 Years Later enjoyer.
>>214305876>I HEAR YOUR VOICE >ITS LIKE AN ANGEL SIGHING AH AH AH>FEELS LIKE DYING>WHEN YOU SAY MY NAME ITS LIKE A LITTLE PRAYER>IM GONNA TAKE YOU TAKE YOU TAKE YOU>YOU CAN FINALLY MATTER>I AM THE XMAN
