There are new movies? Who knew? Last new movies I saw were JoJo Rabbit, which I loved, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, brilliant sendup of the Manson murders..
I have AMZ Prime free movies and watch old ones free. A good one was “The Producers,” A hoot of a movie I never stop laughing it. Their stage show was “Spingtime for Hitler.”
Ok, having had a good night's sleep, I'll ask the obvious question. JoJo Rabbit and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood both came out in 2019, so they are just outside the "new" window that I proposed at the outset of this thread. But still, both are quite recent. You like them both.
I understand if you simply don't watch many movies, but if your recent experience with "new" films is so positive, I'd expect you to be a bit more optimistic about the films that are being made today.
So I'll ask: where do you get your leads on films that you DO watch? (Aside from FR movie threads, of course.)
I ask the question because of my own experience. I had tuned out tv and movies almost entirely. I was a "nuke Hollywood from orbit" type. Perhaps three years ago, however, I stumbled across a spectacularly good film on a subject of considerable interest to me, on which I already knew the backstory. One thing led to another, and I came to realize that I had developed a huge blind spot. That's when I started poking around and discovered that there are plenty of good films to watch, if we can find them.
Most of us aren't as young as we used to be, and aside from the trolls, everyone at FR is conservative or at least conservative adjacent. On both counts, we aren't Hollywood's target demographic. When it comes to our kind of movies, we are looking for the needles in the haystack. But they are there, hiding in plain sight. Finding them is the trick.
