Amazon’s acquired the rights to the James Bond franchise, and I’m just WAITING for them to milk it dry…
I didn’t mind the movies, but one a day is enough for me.

Ive seen so many movies at this point im just
Oh look someone made a bullshit film about some bullshit…
Which is why nowadays i just stick to watching movies like john wick and tenet.
Not a movie snob…its just like theres a lack of creativity and over saturation.
Mad God would like to have a word with you.
Watch some old movies. There’s 100 years of history to go through and a lot of those movies would not or could not be made today.
A favorite of mine is “Vertigo”. The original 60s one. I promise you, when you think you have that movie figured out is exactly when you do not have it figured out. Hell, almost anything by Hitchcock is great.
If you like John Wick, you might like film noire. “Double Indemnity” is a movie you’ll feel like you’ve seen before, because bits and pieces of that have informed so much of what’s come after. It feels like a cliche, but this one started all those noire cliches. You also get to see pre-war LA, not a sight you are going to see in any movie today - at least not to this extent.
I saw “Heat” for the first time a few weeks ago, and I still saw bits and pieces of “Double Indemnity” in there, but I also saw where like the last 25 years of heist videogames have come from.
Ive seen some hithcock.
Ive also seen heat…
But ive also seen 80s cheese and avante guarde shit movies…
The movies that stand out to me are authentic not marketed pretentiousness or performative pretentiousness…
Also sometimes i want to turn off my brain hence michael bays transformers.
Saw a bit of once upon a time in america…by sergio leone…4 hrs long…should of been condensed.
Paid in full is better then belly.
60s the great escape.
Dirty harry movies.
Pink panther with peter sellers.
Road to perdition was good.
Etc…
Some old mad max movies hit or miss…beyond thunderdome was great.
I like the new mad max better.
List goes on…
But as of recent cgi screen splooge and recycled themes and plot variations.
Most movies nowadays seem like they are dreamt up by the studios marketing department
