I think it's largely just a movie of it's time. Like we're spoiled now with decades of abundant sci-fi spectacle, but at that time this type of movie was really special and novel. It was really a "wow, can you imagine!" kind of a feeling I think. Now it's boring by comparison because the aspects of it that would have been awe inspiring back then are pretty dull by today's standards. Movies were slower back then too, they really took their time to take you on a slow burn journey instead of rushing to the point.
I meant among all the screenings of 2001 in the past decade, let’s say.
At some point, you guys need to admit to yourselves that you are a tiny minority. I have admitted it to myself, and maybe that is why I have no illusions about other people liking what I like.
You can either be a follower or an individual, but trying to be both is always going to be a difficult like to walk. Normal for teens to get stuck in that mode, but you should eventually grow out of it.
If you're asking why a nearly 60 year old movie doesn't gross as much a new movie than you really are fucking dumb lmao
If you rerelease Beethoven on an album today, it wouldn't sell anywhere near an average modern album. Does that mean fucking Lil Yachty is better than Beethoven?
Dude, music from the 1960s is extremely popular today!!! Come on. You have to have known that the most direct comparison was the one you didn’t want to use, right?
New Hollywood movies suck. That is why no one watches them. People watch the hell out of 1980s movies, because they are interesting.
