Why do modern movies that use black and white always look so fake and gay

I do, but it's simply true that most of them aren't very interesting. People take the level of VFX immersion achieved ~ 2005 for granted now, when in reality very few films that came out before managed to do both scale and fantasy at once.

I have the opposite problem, where all I do is watch old movies to the point where it's getting silly. I haven't watched a new movie in years, but I imagine a few releases have to be worth watching. I need to make an effort soon to start watching new movies again.

I watched the legend of Robin hood and the legend of Don Juan starring the wonderful Erryl Flynn in blacl and white. Fun fact.. I went to a Renaissance Faire 15 years ago and an elderly gentleman told me I looked like Erryl Flynn. I then got drunk off ansinthe and got my dick sucked by a 75 year old whore with huge fake tits.

This place brought to watch a few. Specifically Rope, The Apartment, and Wages of Fear. I liked all three. Rope and The Apartment were weird to me but not in a bad way. The Apartment's plot just had me wondering "did rich execs used to force their underlings to use their apartments as their fuckpads back then? Damn."

I always thought the name Dr Jekyll sounded like Jackyl, like the indicator that he’s gonna turn on you the moment your back is turned. Like when you want to just lift up ur beautiful girl and smother her in feathery kisses bc she’s so fine, but then you flip her over and see her from behind and you just have this existential need to just fuck her right up her little pink asshole to hear her squeal through your fingers squeezing her throat. Hence, “Mr Hyde”. Cunnilingus & sodomy, the two expressions of love.
