Jurassic Park. There's another franchise that's squatting over the world, pinching off one loaf of nutrition free but easily digestible and incrementally diluted content at a time.
If you murdered someone after seeing Jurassic Park on opening day you would probably be paroled by now.
And during that entire sentence Hollywood has failed to produce even one sequel for it worthy of the time it takes to watch it.

I'm too young for Star Wars when it came out, so I'm just like, oh, here's a steady stream of pretty good light scifi
I'm old enough to remember JP1 to know that the new JP movies don't hold a candle to JP (maybe to 2 and 3 of the originals)
Some days Blue wonders why anyone ever bothered making numbers so small; other days she supposes even infinity needs to start somewhere.

Also the new star wars flicks don't seem any better or worse than the old ones
I'm sure the old ones felt better at the time, given the novelty, but that's not really a value assignable to the movies qua movies
That's an accident of time that folks happened to enjoy

I was an extra in a Dutch €300k movie, and that is basically film students who made just enough money on their first project to secure a loan, and then desperately try to make it work by cutting endless corners.
A $1M movie is nothing.
But 20-30 years ago the movie business was gambling on 10 $20m-$40m movies a year and see which ones popped big. There were more chances being taken than today. WB has made an official statement that pretty much says that apart from Nolan, they will never let a director film his own script without oversight again.
20 years ago, the top 10 was: Titanic / MiB / JP2 / Liar Liar / Air Force One / As Good As It Gets / Good Will Hunting / SW4 rerelease / My Best Friends Wedding / Tomorrow Never Dies
That's a RomCom, a SciFi comedy, a sequel, a star vehicle comedy, a star vehicle action movie, 2 star vehicle oscar bait drama's, a rerelease, another RomCom, and a Bond movie. Over half of those were not sure bets.
Last year it is 6 Superhero movies, a Star Wars movie, It remake, Jumanji remake, a Disney live action remake, and Despicable Me 3. The game has changed.

life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

i think the tendency is to blame the superhero movies when really it's that audiences' desire to see movies in theaters has changed both in frequency and type of film worth paying for
which is basically what i said before, maybe i'm just repeating myself

Why when I empty a thumb drive in on Mac it “deletes” the files, but when I take the drive back to a PC I can clearly see a ghost folder with all the files still there?
Did you just move the files to the trash without actually deleting them?
Edit: Oh this was from 4am.

They're different, more than having some quality difference.
Except Rey is better than Luke and the philosophy aligns with mine more explicitly so I guess the new ones are slightly better
They sell it so hard and it's great.
yup

I maintain The Tall Guy is a very funny movie. The scene where he auditions for a Steven Berkoff play is excellent.
