Last big main stream comedy was Tropic of Thunder in 2008, then Obama swept in the next year and the left dropped the mask as they went full bore on changing the culture, so yea around then it died.

Idk, I just was lost picking out most movies because of so many superhero movies, so i haven't seen any since like 2016

most times

Kinda. I don't watch many movies.

The stories often feel too predictable, with their forced beginnings, middles, and ends crammed into 90 to 120 minutes. Series offer a far more engaging experience for me.

no i still watch lots of great films. i primarily watch horror films, and most horror films do not release in cinema any longer so i am having to be watching them on streaming services and such. but i still encounter lots of greats released every year.

No you're just watching the wrong movies.

I have been complaining that people themselves started becoming progressively less human since somewhere in the 2000s to the 2010's.

Even the almighty Lost Wages strip slowly started losing energy.

And this coincided exactly with when we invented Google, Facebook, Twitter, the Iphone...

And it spilled over into everything!

It isn't just me saying this. I watched this one last night:

Generic, pointless. I could claim you're simple-minded therefore anything would entertain you.

I halfway agree with this.

Check this out:

When I put on a certain giant streaming service, I am finding an increasing amount of cheaply filmed cliche festivals where everything is filmed darkly as it cuts costs as they don't have to light it and it hides all kinds of details.

I also see a plague of blue and orange abuse. Once people see it they won't unsee it.

There are an increasing number in which it gets shut off, thumbed down and removed from the list.

Then find something better. If nothing works, then shut the whole thing off and go do something else.

Is it just me or have movies been sucking since about 2005-2010 and declined to present day? Almost EVERY modern movie seems to be low budget low effort junk, cheap content for streaming services.

That new maverick was actually really good.

but definitely an exception.

Reminds me, every last one of the new Harry Potter remake castings is a temu downgrade, less human indeed.

I left out how music got taken over by the robots and now it's just a bunch of AI lip-synching posers these days.

Alien 3 was the last good movie.

It came out in the 1990s.
