Do you agree or disagree: The era of movie stars is nearly..

Agree

because as i mentioned before... i feel that MAJOR stars (i.e. the ones damn near everyone knows with a commanding presence) are largely a dying breed as, like the OP also said(which is basically inline with my opinion), it seems almost all of the MAJOR stars are around 50 years old or older as Dicaprio is about the only obvious exception to that general rule i think as it's pretty safe to say he's THE biggest all around major name under the age of 45-50 or so.

but with that said... it's possible some current decent stars could eventually become a bit bigger with a bit of time but i am not counting on it as those major stars with commanding presence seem to be largely a dying breed.

but we shall find out in another 20 years or so as that should give us enough time to see how things play out given our current opinions on this issue. but even if that's ends up being true, in that the major stars largely disappear, there is still always a chance more major names could turn up 40+ years from now. but at that point we probably won't care because we will be dead, or close enough to death that we likely won't care.

p.s. but don't get me wrong... i don't think those in their 30's and younger suck as you still got some decent stars with a decent presence etc. but just not anyone who's all around presence can roughly match those today who are generally in their 50's and older. plus, like i always say... what ultimately makes or breaks a person in the long term is whether they appeared in quality movies people remember or not because you can have a solid enough overall presence but if you fail to land in movies people remember then you will be forgotten basically.



as a general guideline for me... movies that rely too much on CGI characters tend not to be good as i prefer actual people and ones that actually look like actual people(give or take a little) to.

p.s. i was born Oct 1979. so ill be 38 later this year. also, as i have said before... the vast majority of My Favorite Movies are from the 1990's to date as when i look at My Favorite Movies, which currently contains 199 movies, there are only 41 movies pre-1990's amongst my favorites. so basically... only 20.6% of my favorite movies, or about 1 out of 5, are pre-1990's movies. the 2000's are my all around favorite decade for movies as i would rank the decades like this... 1)2000's 2)1990's 3)1980's 4)1960's 5)1970's etc (1940's would be my #6 spot solely because of The Song of Bernadette which is the only pre-1960's movie i scored a 7 or higher so far). also, i feel that for the most part movies generally got better and better as time passed but i feel that trend ended with the current 2010's decade as the 2000's were the peak for me as the 2010's are on the decline as 9/10's are difficult to come by and 10/10's are non-existent in this decade. but still, that's not to say the 2010's are anywhere near bad as there is still plenty of quality movies that came out of this decade but not many score 7.5-8/10 or higher though which is where it took the biggest hit as there has only been 15 movies i scored a 7.5-8/10 in this 2010's decade so far (for measure... the 2000's, my favorite decade, has 40 movies that scored a 7.5-8/10 or higher). but in terms of 7/10's ONLY... the 2010's has the highest volume of those of any decade @ 39 movies. the next closest, in terms of volume of 7/10 level movies for me, is the 2000's with 22 movies. so the 2010's are not far from double the 2000's in terms of 7/10 level movies for me but where it really suffers is the lack of higher tier movies. just some random stats

I don't think so. Eight years ago when we were in Twilight and Harry Potter mode, I wondered if there'd be any left but we're fine now.

The era of franchise is about to take over.

It is cheap, I guess it all depends on the state or area. 

Here in Mexico is not that expensive either its 80 pesos regular, and 120 pesos VIP
