This is a thread for those of us who have been watching cinema seriously for over 5 years and have seen over 1000 films. Don't be offended; some of us have simply moved past imdb-core, capeshit, and the same old indie flicks. Do not derail the thread with trolling or off-topic discussion.
Without further adieu, I wish a warm welcome to my fellow cinephiles. Here are some discussion points to get our thread started:
>What have you been watching recently?
>What is your opinion on the current state of American and world cinema?
I watched Citizen Kane today and I must say, I was blown away. A revolutionary work of art and, if I dare say so, one of the best movies ever made.
and what does this have to do with Buffy the Vampire Slayer?

wrong, this is a general. A failed attempt at one, at that.

I've easily seen over 1000 movies, and I'm a fucking turbopleb. Are you kids only like, 16 years old or something? Thats really not that impressive.

I think cinema is just about dead and I'm okay with that. There are more that enough films that one could spend an entire life time on films and miss some very worthwhile films. Of course, new issues will arise and cultures and regions that do not already have a lot of films should get the support needed to make them if they so desire.

I've been watching since the 1960s and have around 100k movies under my belt. All it has done is made me bitter. Everything seems more amateurish now. Time is a good filter of course and there was lots of shit I waded through in each decade to find gems. I'm just more harsh towards the shit and social propaganda now. Hollywood needs an enema.
The last film I saw that made me sit up and pay attention was "Zimoshe" in original language without subtitles. I don't even speak Xhosa and even without knowing the language I was still on the edge of my seat. It was shot well enough that everything going on could be inferred even without sound.
>100,000 movies That would meant you spent every waking hour for 46 years watching movies. Which would only be possible since home video.

Thats fucking retarded word choice is an important part of cinema

hating Citizen Kane is literally the most pleb thing you can do it screams "I'm a teenager and my contrary opinion is the only one that matters"

>there are actually people who think studying a TV show is an academic discipline >there's a feminazi book that examines gender roles in the series I'm almost embarrassed to call myself a fan of the show

Is this some kind of Cred Forums meme?

I think they are making fun of OP for starting a self righteous patrician thread just to talk about Citizen Kane.
Michael Kelly
Wrong
Wyatt James
Is that how you write it, "without further adieu" ? I thought it was further ado.
Lucas Hughes
Well I think that the US Cinema is at a crisis of ideas, world cinema is doing alright some countries like (Iran, China, South America) is booming the industry toward a new approach. In the major references is dying in the commercial circuit
