Huh? Goodfellas came out in 1990. Wolf of Wall Street is on there.

This is like going to the candy aisle of a grocery store and declaring that there's nothing healthy to eat. There are an amazing amount of good movies from the last 10 years. You're just not looking hard enough.Man, the last, ~10 years of film's been lousy.
But really, the last 10 years of film has been lousy. Shitty, serious remakes of stupid movies like Total Recall that just wind up being garbage, for example.
It may just be that I'm getting old though, since the last 10 years of music's been lousy too.
Yeah, it's basically like, "If I don't count any of the good stuff, it's all crap." That's what I got out of his idiotic statement.
Dude, come on. Don't be that guy.
I've seen
Sheesh.

No, you're That Guy. It's right in your name, That Nick Guy.
And it's a stupid fucking thing to say.
Don't feel too bad. If not for the inclusion of animated movies, I wouldn't have made it past 10 of them.[DOUBLEPOST=1447023674,1447023643][/DOUBLEPOST]
Wow, you really loved the Total Recall remake.
Glad you brought up TV. It's easy to forget the time when reality TV was a new big thing and everyone flooded the air with it. They're still around now, but years back it was just overwhelming. I thought I'd never watch TV again.

You don't think any of those are good movies? Not one?
Reality TV has become something to fill air, not something to bring in money. These days, the money is in long form serials like Game of Thrones, Agents of Shield, The Walking Dead, etc... so everyone is trying to get in on it.
By now, I think most are just amazed at your reaction. Unless this is like, Jersey code or something, in which case fuck your mother.
Apparently if I don't tell Gruebeard to go fuck himself, I'm agreeing with him.
Sigh.
I thought it was obvious that I wasn't being literal, what with that comment about me being too old to enjoy recent music too. I'm just an old fogey stuck in the glory days of my youth. But thanks everyone for not noticing.
Also, I was giving Chuck a taste of his trolling style, as he said he uses in his AMA. Wow, it really worked. Sorry to everyone else who bit.
don't blame me for your bad posting
Well they only spent 5 million on the damn thing to begin with... I wouldn't be surprised if they make that back eventually. But yes, the movie is apparently terrible and has very little to do with the original series, which turned off the older fans. It didn't help that I haven't seen a single TV advertisement for it EVER.
I would like to point out that Hasbro marketed the Bayformers movies successfully. That's how bad the Jem movie is.
Allegedly the director wanted this to be a prequel film to set up a new Jem series of movies instead of just starting with the source material.
So basically, the movie was ridiculously rushed and wasn't as meticulously planned and thought out as The Lord of the Rings.
Honestly, yeah, I can see that in the movie. A lot of stuff felt like it was done just to be done. Like Peter Jackson was sleepwalking through production.
Given that they said he was working 20 hour days, on 4 hours sleep, I didn't think it was that literal.

Probably a little bit of all that. And Del Toro dropping out of the picture, with WB scrambling to replace him with Peter Jackson. Del Toro got the prep time that Jackson should have gotten.
MovieBob is back with another edition of Really That Good. This time: Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 1 & 2. This one's over an hour long, but I just finished watching it and it's quite good. Lots of good insights that make me appreciate the movies.
Keep in mind it was going to be two movies, and then very late they decided to make three, which is why the climax gets snipped to the start of the third film.
I like the one-film version, but I know that would've made much less money.

And therein lies the problem. They took the shortest middle earth book, written for the youngest demographic, and tried to stretch it to the same length it took them to tell the entire LOTR trilogy previously. It was obviously a cynical cash grab from the moment we heard "3 movies."
I could have bought 2 movies: one for getting to the Mountain, One for the Mountain and everything that happens with the battle and the ride home. But making it three meant there was a ton of filler. Shame about that.
It's horror, but with tongue firmly in cheek. Check out Trick 'r Treat. It's by the same people and pretty much has the same flavour.
If Krampus can capture the spirit of Krampusnacht as much as Trick 'r Treat captured the spirit of Halloween, all will be well. Another movie in the same vein would be something like Rare Exports.
