And it's that demographic that has made Hollywood turn away from making interesting films to popcorn fare instead... to the massive detriment of the film industry.
We all like the occasional frivolous film, in fact cheesey films are great fun, but the fear of investing in more mature films has decimated quality control and alienated a lot of potential movie goers.
Exactly...popcorn movies aint bad but now its epidemic and the worst is that most kids start to believe that: ''oohh man these are so good and interesting movies!!!'' .....not to mention that even the 80's popcorn movies have better dialogues than of the current ones hahahahaha
Sylizar....by saying masterpiece movies i do not mean boring Russian 60's cinema....
where you can watch for 20 minutes on the screen an old man in his small boat fishing in the open sea on a raining day just looking in the water and for the grand finale to scratch his balls....and say ''bad idea to come here with such a weather after all''...credits.
Im talking about really interesting movies with a very good story,script and action too...
but without ''bam! boum!'' every 30 seconds,HUGE plot holes,ridiculous dialogues and uninteresting stories.
Alien is 1 of these ''masterpiece'' movies and its no luck that its one of the few films of its kind that is loved and respected even by the ''best'' critics who dont like the genre.
As for your comment: ''For me, movies are a fun way to escape reality''...
Without any insult the only thing i can say is that i love the cinema and watching movies because
i just love it!..others like sports,others reading books,others fishing,others listening/buying music,others are workaholics ect ect ......I dont do it so to escape reality as you do lol....
thats why i dont blame you,for your lack of good judgment on movies.
