    Yeah, I can’t watch any of them any more it ruins the nostalgia and reminds me how dumb I must have been. I can’t stand to watch most mainstream stuff any more though. The second the plot goes stupid I turn anything off. I’ve wasted far too much time due to investment banker produced media. First hint is all I need.

      I totally get what you mean. I wonder wheter writing a decent plot/characters/dialogues is really that impossible or whether there’s some other issues at play.

      I mean, book authors routinely manage to do pretty good writing, why can’t we have that for film as well?

        You really can’t compare the two mediums. What works in books most likely doesn’t work in movies. Like trying to do a setup like in a book would bore the shit out of everyone if it was done the same way in a movie. You and I might be interested in that long setup, but the GA definitely doesn’t give a shit.

        There’s a reason why Disney Marvel movies insist on making a joke every 5 minutes in their movies.
