    I LOVED blockbuster. Absolute thrill to go through all of those movies, find some weird thing, give it a chance. It was so fun ti have the surprise and anticipation and basically roll the dice that movie night would be fun becsse the movie was good or fun because it was bad and we has to think on our feet and make something else happen.

        I feel like such an old man saying this but goddamn movies were better in the 90s. Now it’s all CGI bullshit and the same recycled stories. I don’t even watch new movies anymore. Get off my lawn.

          Yeah. The writing has fallen off, studios are happy to blow half their budget on VFX and the other half on casting with no focus on the story. Back then, before you pitched a movie, you had to have a story worth telling. Now it’s all reskins of the same shit
