Tell me you’re a creatively bankrupt fuck without telling me you’re a creatively bankrupt fuck.
Christ alive, take a chance on a new story. There’s got to be something more entertaining than rehashing all these already told stories.
Damn, I can’t believe spending two decades pushing people into STEM and business school at the expense of the humanities has left our society creativly bankrupt. Who could have possibly forseen that cutting arts education would lead to this?
I disagree.
I suspect the issue is wealth concentration. Too few people able to fund films.
It’s more likely over saturation, GOOD movies used to mostly come out of Hollywood alone. Now ever streaming service is buying shit up to keep on the back burner until needed. More stories but owned by a much larger crowd may be thinning out the quality. But Hollywood does love to rehash old shit, even before streaming so what do I know.
There are STEAM schools that include art. And art exists at most schools still.
I heard a gen z say “what’s blair witching” the other day and i aged like 10 years in one sentence lol.
For a second I thought they ment Hammer Studio stuff of the 60s and similar old school movies. Bummer.
What’s there to reimagine? Blair Witch was a product of the right time and place, and there’s no way to capture that again. Even translating it for the social media era will fall flat, as Creep 1&2 and We’re All Going to the World’s Fair already did that.
It was a dumbfuck movie.
It helps to remember that we didn’t all have cameras and flash lights in our pockets. We also thought magic witches were real. Now we just have sexy human witches.
Nah, it was just straight dumb. I saw it in the theater and it was a fucking waste. Amazing hype job, tho.
