40 yr old fag here, so many 90s movies I love, but the last 20 years only this I feel some spark in my belly. Is that my failing...?
you have early onset dementia
>>222541954Sure jam bitch
idk. you sound kinda retarded, that could be the issue
>>222541927Was some comfy movies around that time, but admitting my rare. Gran Torino and first Taken were up there for me.
>>222544092*admittingly rare
>>222544092I remember watching Gran Torino on a laptop with my brother, for whatever reason we both thought it was gonna be an action movie with Eastwood gunning down gangsters.
>>222541927>>222544092It's not a coincidence. Those filmmakers were trying to hit the right tone or zeitgeist of 2000s hollywood. They got pretty close by making movies about a shitty world and shitty time. It would be easy to say they failed or didn't catch on, but the game was rigged. The real zeitgeist wasn't anywhere in hollywood anymore, it was online -- a distinctly un-cinematic place. Movies like NCFOM, Gran Torino, Taken, Synecdoche NY, and pic related are the true cinema of the 2000s, cinema of death and desperation. Haunting reminders of love and honor in a world of vulgar battle and abandonment. The death song of 100 years of hollywood.
>>222541927>Is that my failing...?Yes. You're a complete fucking pleb. Not even memeing.
>>222541927Your memory is failing as you get older
>>222541927>be illiterate pleb>only relationship with movies outside of nostalgia crap is a highly overrated Cormac McCarthy adaptation >"am I the retard?"nah
>>222544997yeah obviously that's the first impression, but OP is following a correct instinct about the art form in his muddy way
>>222545020Not at all.
