In the past 10 years, you can't think of even one movie that was good and went to theaters?
There's so many good films that came out in the last 10 years that are to this day hard to find on streaming because they don't fit into the Netflix, Hulu, or Disney+ model of "shut your brain off and shut the fuck up about the economy"
Some of these are very easy to find because they were too popular to be ignored, but some of these I saw in a cinema, and then that was it. I need to either wait for an independent theater to decide they want to rent a reel for a weekend for 2 screenings, or to save up $25 to buy the movie outright because it's not streaming anywhere.
Honestly putting together this list made me feel like I'm actually going crazy a little bit. There's been so many masterpieces in the last 10 years. To the extent that I left an entire Mad Max film off my list, and the one I left off is the one everyone likes.
The problem isn't that no good movies are coming out. The problem is the studio system and the streaming services don't promote the creative and innovative movies. They don't fit into the overall system of propaganda that our media landscape is. Particularly any Boots Riley or Spike Lee film is going to be made to be seen by people who already know they're generational directors because the studios expressly don't want you to think about how America exploits Black art. If you did that you might do something about it, and that would disrupt the money streams.
Would've loved to see Furiosa but movies are in and out of theaters so quick and then onto streaming. They really need to fix that.
yup, which is legit what rian johnson is saying here. the studios aren't setting up movies to succeed for their creators because the studios make way more money fror streaming
