They all came out on VHS in the 90’s. 😅

But that whole run is a banger, no arguments here.
There have been many great movies from the past decade. The problem is that audiences no longer pay to see non-big budget tentpole movies in theaters anymore, so a lot of well-made dramas and comedies don't have the cultural impact that they did in the 80s or 90s because audiences aren't showing up to these types of movies in droves anymore.

Well, I can't speak for everyone, but I wouldn't say they don't have cultural impact anymore. For me, and a lot of people I know, it comes down to a cost to need to see factor. Personally I've never thought most comedies or Dramas needed to be seen on the big screen. So with how expensive it is for us to go to the theater it's a wait to stream for us. The home theater viewing for them is more than good enough for me.

But you do lose cultural impact when everyone watches things on there own and there isn't a big movie that everyone is talking about. I feel like nowadays streaming caters to specific niches and there are very few films that bring large portions of the public together. Barbie and Oppenheimer have been the rare exceptions this year.

I agree with Jenna Ortega and Elle Fanning on the recent wave of female characters. I'm so sick of all these unlikable, unrelatable overpowered characters.

Yeah, a lot of todays characters suck. They usually take an already established character and totally change them. They can't make a good original character on their own, so they just steal from geniuses.

Oh, geez. Now I'm second guessing myself.

I had two nerdy guys from Best Buy come install and do "calibrations" to my home theater setup when I moved in last year. They fiddled with things for an hour. I offered them Pepsi's during the process, and tipped them afterward. To me, it all looks incredible. Especially when I am watching a Blu-Ray, or a current TV show from a major media outlet in 4K. But even old 480p upscaled episodes of Three's Company look incredible on it. To me at least.

Is there some way of knowing if your 4K giant screen home theater is set up correctly? Aside from the confident words of two nerdy guys from Best Buy all hopped up on free Pepsi-Cola?

It sounds like yours is fine. You could run some test patterns on the display to eyeball how accurate it is, or get something like this if you're more intense about it-


But if they got it set up and you're not noticing any obvious issues- then you're fine.

Standing on the shoulders of giants. The uncreative and untalented aren't able to create. So they just reuse and change old characters like Galadriel and Snow White. Then they make them say whatever they want to say, even though they know most fans don't like it (She Hulk).

Then they got the nerve to come out and give fake numbers. "Disney says Disney got 14 million views."

LOL, yep.
Wow…appreciating The original Snow White animated film and recognizing it would be problematic for modern society can coexist… I am not even saying I agree with her statements… as it her opinion and she is entitled to have them…as we all are…however she is not one of the creatives involved with this new incarnation… she is just the hired actor… I for one am looking forward to what they come up with… If I don’t care for this Snow White… I still have the original animated classic

People on this forum can be so close minded

It was really a mistake getting Zegler. She is too much of an unlikeable big mouth. She has rubbed every true Snow White fan the wrong way with her comments. And like always with Disney (...lately) they aren't staying true to the original Disney version.
Uhhh, she happens to be playing the lead in the new Hunger Games movie that comes out on November 17. She's not exactly chopped liver. And why should Disney "stay true" to the original? The original already exists for people to go back and watch? Why make the exact same movie all over again., That is ridiculous. There is no reason to remake any movie until you are going to bring something new to the table.

That's the problem, many people are.

Disney has lost over $650 Million at the box office so far in 2023. And your answer is to tell the audience to stay home? 🤔
No I'm telling people who are so closed minded that they want an exact duplicate of an original film and who cannot handle new ideas and who judge an entire film that is probably not even completed yet based on one single photo to stay home. They can stay home and stare at a blank wall. Maybe that will be a nice safe space for them.

This seems to be Disneys new business model, make the movies the Hollywood echo chamber want rather than what the world wants, then blame the world for being ists and obes while congratulating themselves on how progressive they are.

The irony is a lack of diversity (in mindset) is dooming Disney.
