Dustin Hoffman: Cinema is 'worst' it has been in 50 years, but television is the best that's it ever been Jul 06, 09:13
these people saying things like "worst" or "impossible" are getting tiresome. inside out, mad max, been a good year Jul 06, 09:37
people are just lazy. Good movies are always out there, you just have to look for them. {nm} Jul 06, 09:52
Yeah, that Hoffman guy is a lazy tool. {nm} Jul 06, 09:54
the link isnt accurate, but he's likely coming from a place where crappy movies he wants made arent getting made {nm} Jul 06, 10:09
I made huge mistake by posting the wrong link. I am very very sorry. The correct link is in here Jul 06, 17:39
No, just another cranky old man that thinks everything was better in the good old days. {nm} Jul 06, 10:51
qualitatively, it's undeniable Jul 06, 10:56
There are lots of schlocky westerns, swords and sandals, horror films back then too. They're rarely seen on TV Jul 06, 11:04
"cinema" is more than studio filmmaking. I'd stack up my top 10 this year and last against any other year except 1974 Jul 06, 11:19
but I'm saying the quality this year is as good as any other year. If you dont think that, you aren't watching enough movies. Jul 06, 11:28
not just the money in TV but also the (relative) creative control Jul 06, 11:34
IMO that's a reflection of modern moviegoing taste, and not on the overall quality of cinema. {nm} Jul 06, 12:23
But, for the most part, those shlocky flicks are CITIZEN KANE, compared to the crap now. It's not even close. {nm} Jul 06, 15:37
That's just your opinion. Quality is subjective. {nm} Jul 06, 16:14

I quote Bad Santa. "Well, they all cant be winners, can they?" Jul 06, 10:13
actually, briefly, at the end of the studio system they did Jul 06, 10:18
Movies come out every week. You list 2 good movies over the whole year, and say "it's been a good year" lol. Jul 06, 09:53
i'd wager that the ratio is worse now. The technology to make a movie is so much more affordable now than ever. {nm} Jul 06, 12:34
i'd agree that the ratio is worse. {nm} Jul 06, 12:47
good movies come out EVERY week. you just have to look for them. Jul 06, 10:10
Good movies on release schedule for July (I count 9 over the next 3 weeks): Jul 06, 10:18
4 weeks, sorry {nm} Jul 06, 10:25
I agree 100%. People are so reactionary. {nm} Jul 06, 10:12
People always talk about extremes, it's the only way to get attention in a noisy world. Jul 06, 10:15
exactly! it says more about you that what you are commenting on. Things are never that simple. {nm} Jul 06, 10:20
I'd care. :) {nm} Jul 06, 11:07
Solliciting for a part in game of thrones or true detective3 ? {nm} Jul 06, 14:02
He wants Luck to be uncancelled. {nm} Jul 06, 16:03
who wouldn't? {nm} Jul 06, 16:17
PETA. {nm} Jul 06, 16:27
