Rei Rei Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 The difference is that B Movie has a Bee./lame joke] Also, nowadays the terror movie are kinda lame. Or they can't live up to the hype(Cloverfield), or they are good but don't get any attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Shiu and Watch Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 The problem is peolple are getting exicited over the movies and they don't meet expectations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YokaiKnight Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 (edited) What im tired of in the film industry other than remakes, is those bratty teen movies and horrible stupid comedy (Superbad, etc)I understand the general sentiment, but Superbad was freaking hilarious, you should give it another chance. Then again...I'm 18. XDi mean come on! the whole "Porky's" humor has been done to death, lets get on with it!! i cant stand most comedies anymore..the only comedy i can stomach these days are stuff like Burn After Reading (that shit was funny!)...I wanna see that. I'm into whatever genre you'd classify stuff like Snatch and Pulp Fiction as. Hilarious movies.EDIT: My apologies for reporting a post that had already been handled.

Herr Wozzeck Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I believe the difference is the quality. Ah, personal definition. I wasn't sure if you were going with that, or with the definition generally used by some other people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Mecha Death Christ Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Alot of movies aren't worth people's time, but some are. Movies I'm thinking of are films such as Transformers and Hot Fuzz... Wait, please tell me you're not saying Transformers fall into the category of movie worth people's time! That movie was a diarrhea sundae with piss sauce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doom103 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 I saw Yes Man, and honestly it was great, it was funny and highly entertaining. I saw tropic thunder yesterday and it wasn't bad either it had some funny parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emblempride Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Being a media lover (and watching almost every single movie from the 20's onward, yes, I have a lot of time on my hands :P), I completely agree that movies are trash these days. Here: try comparing Poltergeist (80's), one of the greatest horror movies of our time WITH a PG rating, to uh, a typical zombie movie nowadays with so much blood you'll puke. Horror Movies back then were there to entertain, like Poltergeist, not have as much blood and people die without completely destroying the story. Hell, let's go back even further. Phantom of the Opera (20's, personal favorite), Waxworks (20's), Dracula(30's)! Phantom of the Opera was scary as shit, but only the Phantom died, and it was entertaining. Waxworks was also scary as hell, yet no one died. Dracula, people died, but it wasn't a holy crap Gorefest (highly doubt they'd be able to do that without getting banned, and even if they did, it wouldn't have been a cult-classic), it was great. And thats just horror, dun get me started on ever other friggin genre out there. Closing Comments: Fuck you Hollywood :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Mecha Death Christ Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 What the hell is with the Transformers hate? I absolutely loved it and I know plenty of others that did as well. Short answer: Michael Bay. Long answer: A badly put together romance movie about a boy trying to get laid with some hot chick he probably has no chance in hell of getting with while I cringe for over an hour at their little back and forth chance meeting. Followed by 15 minutes and hide and seek and masturbation discussion with his parents all while the government's team of experts unable to put 2 and 2 together while the "hot girl" just out of college scientist was right all along about an alien invasion. Oh yeah, there were some piece of moving scrap metal designed to look realistic doing some shit. Woah, here comes the Transformers!!! OMG epic music. OMG, he's Optimus motherfucking Prime but let's over look the fact that he looks emo and old! OMG, it's Ratchet... or General Traag from TMNT? Whatever, I'll pretend he's Ratchet since Optimus says so. "Judging from his pheromone level, I think the boy wants to mate with the female." Oh my god... *cringe* That about sums up the movie.

burning_phoneix Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 And I'd also like to say that there were bad films back in the day, but the good films now aren't near as good as back then. The best films out right now would be forgotten if a new Star Wars series (meaning one as good/popular) came out. I wouldn't forget the awesomeness of any Pixar movie (except maybe Cars which was just "pretty good" instead of "awesome") such as WALL-E and The Incredibles. I wouldn't forget The Departed,Letters from Iwo Jima, Saving Private Ryan, The Lord of the Rings,Spirited Away, Wallace and Gromit and many others. In fact, you can consider LOTR "the new star wars" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Case in point: The Evil Dead series. Cannibal Holocaust, etc. I get what your saying, but they're enjoyable and great movies right? Unlike some of the newer "dead" movies and Feast, and all that. Great movies? No. Evil Dead? Yes. Its not about the gore really, its about how some modern movies just focus on that, forgetting the entertainment aspect.

Admiral "Bull" Halsey Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I really hate the remakes of really old good movies. It really makes me angry that they made so much changes like the 12 Angry Men 1957 film. That was arguably the best film I've ever seen until it was butchered in 1997. <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herr Wozzeck Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 What the hell is with the Transformers hate? I absolutely loved it and I know plenty of others that did as well. I think it was an okay movie. There were lots of things that could of been done better (Read: WHERE IS MY ROBOTIC CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT????, less overly prominent Baysplosions, and "Get to the building!"), but overall it certainly wasn't that much of a crap film.

It gets extra crap points from me because we essentially guessed the entire plot and how it would play out almost 2 years before the film is completed. When they announced the cast and minor plot details, you can pretty much guess where it's going. It's also especially bad when you're watching a movie called Transformers, and the Transformers are rarely on screen. It's not like they can't carry the plot since they are walking talking robots.

Deity Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 What have you seen lately? Many good ones, tbh. I wont mention them though, because I dont care whether you people say they are good or not, to me, they are, and that's all there is to it.

I wont mention them though, because I dont care whether you people say they are good or not, to me, they are, and that's all there is to it. XD Relax hahaha look at you all defensive. I was just curious that's all. Anyway movies depend on my mood at the time Im watching them. For example I went to watch Epic Movie (or something like that) and it tremendously suck, I really hated it. But then, recently I watched Disaster Movie but know I had my mind set that it was going to be full of shit, and even when it sucked I actually enjoy some parts of the movie. So now I really don't have high expectations on any movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So now I really don't have high expectations on any movie. I learned my lesson from, Epic Movie not to watch any movie with the word "Movie" in the title. With Disaster Movie, I think they're trying to make the worst movie ever and are in competition with the people who made Meet the Spartans. I just don't get it. The film industry used to mean something, now these rookie directors are intentionally trying to fuck things up. Thank god Ron Howard and Clint Eastwood are still around otherwise, this month, the move theater's would've been full of fail. I feel the same as you do sometimes, Edorian. I often like movies that get bad reviews, such as Righteous Kill and Yes Man. They were supposed to be shitty but I just loved them.

Admiral "Bull" Halsey Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 If you think Epic Movie is that bad then you have not seen Meet the Spartans. That was without a doubt the worst movie I've ever seen. I regret spending 12$ to see that movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
