The big takeaway is that Trump is killing any foreigners (and theoretically others) they baselessly accuse of smuggling drugs. It’s the same as how they deported innocent people to the El Salvador torture prison without trial. Accuse for no reason, then do what you want.

I totally agree with you that we lack original movies AND that it is a problem. Would LOVE to see a new fantasy world. But I still love movies like The Batman and am excited for the sequel. My comment isn’t aimed at nice people like you, but at they who hate everything regardless if it’s new

Upset that there aren’t many original films these days? Entirely justified. People going “there are no good movies anymore” are snobby killjoys incapable of seeing greatness even when it’s directly in front of them because of how cynical they are.

It would be one thing if the list of movies was just Godzilla V Kong over and over again. But there are phenomenal things here, like Spider-Verse, The Batman, Quiet Place, Pixar. If you hate those movies, you would hate old movies too if they were released today for no other reason than they’re new

You’re missing the point, which is that there are great movies that meet any rational definition of having standards. People who hate every movie don’t have “standards” they have different tastes, and are too snobby to accept that that doesn’t mean what they like is better.
