This is a good point, I think modern internet criticism videos made an impact as well. Not necessarily in the sense that productions are scared that they'll be blasted online (though I'm sure this is true for at least some of them) but that now it's normal to overthink everything. Mediocre movies that are made for the sake of fun can't fly anymore because now Hollywood is nitpicking it because they have brain worms from Cinema Sins and other associated channels.

[feotakahari]

There are definitely still mediocre movies, though I don’t know if they’re mediocre on purpose.

Not sure I entirely get the distinction between “movies that are more fun than coherent” and “movies you can kind of follow using only half your brain”.

Is there a difference I’m missing there or is it more that big-budget superhero movies seem to have crowded out other silly fun movies?

[volkameria]

This is a phenomenon that's really difficult to put into words, because there's definitely a difference between a mediocre movie and a mid movie. There's something to be said about a film with interesting ideas, or that was clearly made with passion and fun, but just doesn't quite stick the landing in some aspect.

U.S. take note

Absolutely part of why I can’t follow long-running stories like that. At a certain point, it just feels like going through the same pointless cycles where nothing is really learned and no victory can stand.

Yeah, I know, I know, but it’s realistic!

Fuck that. I want a satisfying narrative. Not necessarily a happy ending, but some kind of feeling of development and change.

And even in the real world, history only “repeats itself” at a high level of abstraction. Who knows if Mark Twain really said that, but I think it’s much more accurate to say that history doesn’t repeat, it rhymes. There’s always a new twist, whether good bad or indifferent.

I’m just bummed that I didn’t think to make a post on tumblr saying “hi everyone, I don’t fancy a shag” and blaze it. I would have gotten, like, at least five notes.

I loved the Sandman comics back in the day, so I get where you're coming from. It's so disappointing that Gaiman turned out to be so awful.
