In Reply to: Good Hollywood movies/what happened? posted by Corbu on March 15, 2004 at 17:25:40:
It seems obvious from your post that what you consider "good" films are the ones that tend to create deep human impact and emotions. Uplift a person, really.Those should be contrasted with ones creating pleasurable motor reactions. And good cash flow.
The first category was destined to produce negative cash flow - hence the chopping block for it.
The second meant riches unheard of before - hence the shift.
I kinda agree with the guys below that there are some good films in the second category being produced. I have watched every Die Hard film more than once - I too love that motor reactions.
But don't look at Hollywood for deep, insighful, human movies - that part is gone, gone, gone...
The tradition of that sort of films is still alive, however, in many other countries, and in the indy films.
Follow Ups:
Die Hard? Fun kaka but for me only the first one, degrading till the very bad third of the tryptic.
One more " merde " film that I do like is " Executive Desision ".
You are right of course about the degradation of the series, but I have to confess - I like Bruce, and was able to make it through even the third one. He is a Hollywood conservative, you know...
Get free from etiquette ( you are anyway, that is just the rest of something still" gluing" to you.)
Bruce I had fun to see him, but not anymore, he is always the same, got some kind of weary.
PS: Did you got the pictures*? I did not get your Email!
Yes! Got them all three times, thank you! They look great, nice reminder! Already showed them to Anya.
He won´t bother me anymore with my orthography failure....
There was still one month worth of his income still left in the bottle at that stage.
Jupp said that it did taste as good the very next day.
