That's why we have films like those.

Re: I miss films like these.
Except we have no new films like these.
Goddamn CGI 3d extravaganza bullshit.

When you say "miss" what do you mean exactly?

The sense of wonder and awe these films inspired when I first saw them (and in subsequent watchings) hasn't been repeated by anything I've seen in the past few years.Pappa wrote:When you say "miss" what do you mean exactly?

You're not old enough to say "I miss films like these". I'm not even old enough to say that. If I say "I miss films like these" I'm generally referring to T2 and Die Hard.

Re: I miss films like these.
I hate 3-D. Avatar was better when I watched it in 2-D on my television than when I saw it in 3-D in the theaters, bulky glasses, discoloration, tunnel vision and all.
I'm planning to take my 5-yr old to see the new Shrek movie coming out this weekend. But I'm not going unless I can find one in 2-D. No way I'm asking her to sit with those glasses on for two hours.

You are to young to say you miss films before your time. The Matrix would've been more apt.born-again-atheist wrote:Nonsense.

Just because a film was made before my time it doesn't mean I can't be amazed and entranced by it, nor that no film I've seen has ever come close to having that same effect.

Re: I miss films like these.
Did I say that? I'm saying that saying "I miss films like these" when you weren't around for them is logically absurd. You could say "Why don't they make films like these anymore?" But not that you miss them. That's like saying "I miss the '60s"born-again-atheist wrote:The Matrix?

Re: I miss films like these.
No, saying "I miss films like these" is like saying "I miss films that have an impact on me" not "I miss films from the 70's set in the West"

Maybe in reverse land.born-again-atheist wrote:No, saying "I miss films like these" is like saying "I miss films that have an impact on me" not "I miss films from the 70's set in the West"
And films that have impact are still made anyway. Better ones than Westrens, the lowest of genres after horror.
Of course you won't find them in Hollywood.
