I agree with 99% of what he said.
Especially the part about modern films being done by committees and checking of a lot of boxes to make a blockbuster film. Also too much heavy handed political commentary being put into supposedly mainstream films.

Where does he find the time to watch and evaluate every film currently made from every country with a film industry?

Poor guy loses all credibility with his examples, denouncing Star Wars IX which is the best of the series in every way, and praising a hack like Nolan who has made the most formula Hollywood trash of all time.
Ironically, the ones he praises are the ones making the most modern mainstream movies. He disses and pawns himself. What a maroon (too dumb to just be a regular moron).

Do you mean the best in the sequel trilogy or the best of all nine movies in the whole Skywalker saga? Because if its the last one, than you have no credibility. But yeah his example Star Wars IX is strange because its not that bad.

This guy should start a Gofundme to raise money for surgery to have his head removed from his own ass.

I can't take anyone seriously who thinks a movie is "Total Garbage" or most movies are "Garbage"...
I'm not saying that most movies are good, or that everyone has to like like them...
But there must be something good about some of them... Good for kids, good animation, good special effects, good soundtrack/score, good editing, good story... ETC.
If you can't find SOMETHING to like about most of the movies coming out today, then in my opinion, you are incapable of liking any movie that gets made, and you might as well just keep your worthless opinions to yourself.
Seriously, who wants to listen to some sadsack that hates & hates & hates...all the time?

His name is Chris Gore, he’s written and spoke about independent film quite a bit over the years.

Fragile white dudes: "Movies didn't used to be political!"
Literally the entire history of cinema: Politics was a big part of movies both implicitly and explicitly. In Star Wars, the Empire were human-supremacist Nazis who fought against a ragtag group of partisans and insurgents comprised of various species cooperating with each other. (In Return of the Jedi, the Ewoks were the Viet Cong, and were the good guys.) The 50s and 60s were filled with red scare propaganda. The "body snatchers"? They were the commies. (In the 80s the red scare films mostly turned into "can't we all just get along?" storylines. Well, maybe not in Red Dawn.) If To Kill a Mockingbird were released today, you'd have a million doughy white dudes complaining about "that SJW movie!!!".

Seriously, who wants to listen to some sadsack that hates & hates & hates...all the time? Well said. I try to always find some good even in movies I don't particularly care for. Most films have their flaws. Some are awash with them. But even bad movies usually have some redeeming qualities. Maybe it's a pleasant soundtrack, some examples of good acting or even one or two neat scenes. And even ostentatiously bad movies can have a certain charm to them. The worst thing a movie can be in my book is boring. No excuse for that.

The first ever feature-length movie - Birth of a Nation - was a 3 hour long glorification of anti-black racism and the Ku Klux Klan. That was in 1915. Movies have been political for a long, long time.

If you can’t tel the difference between the approach of movies today and back then, I don’t know what to say |

Title is clickbait but I agree with most of his views. Its not rocket surgery to see that mainstream movies suck compared to their original production's in the case of sequels, remakes and "re-imaginings".
