I didn’t even like Enterprise. It wasn’t the worst thing I’ve ever seen. But I could never stay interested enough to get through more than 1.5 seasons.
Based on the last 5 or 10 years it peaked over a decade ago
The 70's, 80's & 90's had genuinely original films and great actors. Now the quality has consistently dropped and they seem to have run out of ideas.
There are many good filmmakers right now and enjoyable films today but none that have changed the way we view film as a medium or story telling significantly. It just doesn’t hit the same as it used to.
Ticket sales still haven't reached pre covid levels. Operating costs are continually increasing. Busts and flops are the new norm and blockbusters are the exception.
The whole industry is changing.
If you can't see that cinema is a bad place right now, you are the one who has already bought some magic beans from someone.
The first two seasons were a little rough, but that's true of most Trek series (like TNG and DS9). But 3 and 4 were excellent, and are pretty universally well-regarded in the Trek community.
hate to break it to you, bud, but cinema encompasses more than tentpole hollywood blockbusters. cinema is fine.
I hate to break it to you, but really there have been a lot less top quality movies in this decade than say in the 2000s
Agree, churlish to pretend we aren’t in a lull right now. Recent years have been very poor. There haven’t been many Oppenheimers and the like
except 2023 was a dynamite year. wrong again, old friend.
Nah, man. Even Janeway was better than Bakula. At least she has big tits.
Wrong again, definite not amigo who is either old and senile or too young to know any better

oh wow, a list of great movies—a list that doesn’t even include Sing Sing, Do Not Expect Too Much from the End of the World, La bête, The Human Surge 3, Red Rooms, Close Your Eyes, A Thousand and One, Yannick, Menus-Plaisirs les Troisgros, Monster, Omen, Green Border, Robot Dreams, or Beau is AfraidWrong again, definite not amigo who is either old and senile or too young to know any better

My arse it was dynamite
i do think that “mainstream” cinema is on the cusp of a paradigm shift. whether or not it will be a positive or negative shift will depend on which moment the studios decide to take a lesson from—the success of A Minecraft Movie or the success of Sinners. i fear it’ll be the former, since kids/family movies have been the only constant at the top of the box office in recent years, but maybe this inevitable shift will have an A-side & a B-side
No, they tried to hide them. But Kate Mulgrew has some jugs.
Na. You're it
This. Who in their right mind would think 2025 is the peak of cinema?? Holy shit.
Henry Flower will fight you to the death that everything modern is just as good if not better than what came before.
translation: duurrrr i’ve only seen Oppenheimer but here’s my irrefutable opinion anyways durrrr

you’re over here wrapped up in Hollywood’s box office (up from last year btw) while i’m talking about the encouraging amount of quality movies still floating along across the vast ocean of cinema—it’s as though we were on the same field, playing different games. you, however, seem unable to understand that a different game from your own is possible.
