Original creators with original stories. It worked so well in the 80s.

[BaCaAllDay]

It's mind blowing how this fundamentally commonsense approach to storytelling is considered controversial nowadays. We’er in a clown world.

[RicardoRodriguez-zrir]

I was lucky enough to see 2001 in the cinema, in a re-release at the beginning of the 80’s. Unforgettable. Thank you for your lessons, maestro.

Tuve la suerte de ver 2001 en el cine, en un reestreno a inicio de los 80’s. Inolvidable. Gracias por sus lecciones, maestro

@59:00 This was a great question! Growing up, there was always a big difference between the actors we saw on TV vs. the ones we saw on the big screen. I remember that if an actor went from staring in movies to staring in TV shows, that this was a bad thing for them. Likewise, TV stars who actually made it to the movies were seen as being a success. Perhaps with all the proliferation of media and all the different ways we have of accessing it due to modern technology this has helped remove that stigma. We've also seen some very popular TV shows that have grown beyond the popularity of some movies and I think Game of Thrones and Squid Game are great examples that were popular all over the world.

What they did with Sarah Connor was ridiculous. She was an amazing original character. Looking after her son, and attempting to preserve herself along the way. Original BA.

The best thing that could happen to entertainment is if all the Hollywood awards and award shows end. If western entertainment was solely based on audiences feedback and not what Hollywood wants to social engineer, our entertainment would be in a much better state right now. But unfortunately companies are too worried about social justice, virtue signaling, pushing politics and identity politics, superficial feminism, trying to write women more strong and man more weak, race swapping historical figures, political correctness, adding diversity where it makes no sense at all, gender swapping male historic figures, attacking fans and calling them racist and sexist for rejecting their garbage, hiring bad writers based on diversity quotas that leads to meritocracy issues, and the list goes on. There is a woke blight that’s eating away Hollywood and it needs to be eradicated. The problem is nobody can talk about it or mention it without being blacklisted. These are the real problems we have today that we didn’t have back then.

21:24 Han Solo's death was originally mishandled in Return of the Jedi. The character was supposed to complete the hero's arc and die, but the studio intervened for marketing reasons.

The level best that Disney and Abrams could have done would have been to rewrite canon and go back to the original idea of Solo dying at the end of RotJ, but a truly groundbreaking decision like that was obviously never in the cards with Disney or Abrams.

Want a million views put up a Chris Gore video.

My wife sent me a link to the new Roadhouse movie trailer. It looks like a good movie, but Hollywood is so clueless. It’s like they saw the new Top Gun did amazing and Hollywood’s takeaway was: “oh, people really love remakes of 80s movies. Time to make a new Roadhouse and new Highlander…” Yes, those are better than the garbage you’ve been making, but the reason the 80s movie is better isn’t because of nostalgia, it’s because those STORIES were BETTER. I own probably about 500 movies. Maybe 40 of them were made in the last 20 years. It’s pathetic that they have to essentially duplicate old movies to make something good.

You want to copy what made a movie successful? Copy the framework, structure, or style, not the actual content in the movie.

[hellfire]

It's the worst age to live in as movie lover. Nowaydays they only make movies for money, rarely because of the love of the craft. No wonder I so often come back to old movies.

[hydranmenace]

The S&m subject would be it's own show. When can i be here for it? I will turn notifications on. And i despise notifications.

[LN-Lifer]

I still haven't seen 2001 Space Odyssey

1:25:42 "It's made to look easy" -- I so agree with Chris on this. It's like Hollywood is coddling an audience of narcissistic children who can't handle the thought of losing, and can't even handle the thought of anything being a challenge.

Instead, they grotesquely destroy classic scenes like J.J. Abrams did in his Star Trek reboot with the Kobayashi Maru scene. Kirk not only has to "win", he has to eat an apple while doing it. It really makes me want to play fly on the wall for the first job experiences of the kids who that trash rehash is made for. How will these children react the first time they get a negative feedback? I can only imagine they'll react like Tobias Fünke when his stepmom berates him.

[christrites]

I get the impression he puts on a movie and (watches) listens to it, much like most of us listen to music. He is a true film lover.

The concentration of wealth in fewer and fewer hands over the past forty years has had a significant impact on the lack of creativity we are seeing in anything that is artistic or aesthetic or requires charm.

Greedy people aren't interested in aesthetics. They are interested in money.
As wealth is more and more concentrated in the hands of the greedy, aesthetics naturally suffer. Movies and the entertainment industry are suffering greatly because artistic people have no money while the folks with the money are essentially dead inside.

We really pay a great price for the pox of wealth concentration that we have experienced over the past four decades. Look at the monstrosities like Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Las Vegas - where rich, soul-less people are obsessed with building these huge charmless grossly expensive monuments to nothing.

[magsteel]

They already did a time travel movie with a woman, "Peggy sue got married". Kathleen Turner was the lead.

[alienrenders]

The writer of BTTF held onto the rights and said he'll never remake it. The weird thing is I keep hearing about a reboot every now and then.
