Yeah, it's probably true about the streaming and the pandemic making it more popular. Could be nostalgia for me with the old movies and shows, but idk they just felt they had more character and better stories. I always root for the good guys though lol. You're right about foreign movies. I"ve been watching more of those in comparison, but the influence is getting there too as you've said for the Western European movies, especially Spanish movies. It might indeed stay with us forever as you said. Will just have to keep fast forwarding then. On the bright side, it'll shorten the runtime of the movie and I can do other things lol
Why would I be a straight woman and watch adult videos with only women in it? I'm a straight guy. I like sexy and cute women doing stuff together too, but I just don't want to watch that in regular movies.
It would indeed be eye-rolling if she had a redemption arc and confessed her love to her, redemptions happen in horror movies a lot, but it would be especially dumb for their type of relationship. And yes, I would skip scenes with the male equivalent too. All non-straight relationships I can't relate to and are a waste of my time to watch unfold and invest in for any character. Their relationships are like a friends-with-benefits relationship of straight couples, which is also a waste, but at least that one can turn into something more meaningful like having their own children if they ever take their relationship seriously.
Thanks for letting me know about Lovecraft Country. Guess I'll be skipping it completely or at least fast-forward during that part and save some time.
Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy the movie. The subversion was great and acting was pretty good. I was rooting for the good family to win against the cannibalistic family.
Maybe that's why a lot of modern movies are doing so terribly box office wise. All of this stuff going into it people are just rejecting and are tired of and are doing what you recommend I do, watching old movies that have much better everything. Writing, character development, etc. Now new movies are just so superficial.
