Business is doubtless changing. Not necessariy for the better, either.

I find myself far from interested in MOST of what Hollyweird is putting out. Yawn. Another (fill in blank) which is a remake, derivative, Unoriginal, or like Psycho, a SCENE FOR SCENE remake of the original.
People got All Spun Up about 'The Shape Of Water', which, IMO was a sequel to 'The Creature From The Black Lagoon'.......

And yes, Popcorn is COMMODITY CHEAP and soda a tasty sugar delivery system. I'll slip a Hersey Bar in my Manbag before venturing out TO one of those movies.

I DID enjoy 'Knives Out' and also later, JoJo Rabbit, which i thought terrific. 1917 was totally unexpected and also Very Good.

Cinematography and Star Wars? Like Cuisine and Burger King. Want some cinematography?
Find a copy of 'The Emerald Forest' or 'Excalibur' both by John Borman at the peak of his powers.
Or some of the real powerhouse scenes in a Hitchcock film.
Other notable efforts include 'Like Water For Chocolate' or even Apocalypto.
Too much is never enough

the Oscars don't matter to me, besides that they hold better movies on the screen longer. - beach cruiser 21:04:50 03/25/20 (0)
