Modern cinema is a joke.
Modern cinema is a joke.
Literally ever new movie trailer be like: plays some generic or over-used, irrelevant pop-song, spoils the main parts of the film, and then comes the annoying drum:
THUD...THUD..THUD..THUDTHUDTHUD...
<starts-playing-song>
"This summer/winter"
THUD...THUD...THUD...THUDTHUD....THUDTHUDTHUDTHUDTHUD...
<silence>
<weird-synth, testosterone-filled voice>"ENTER-TITLE-NAME, NOW COMING TO A CINEMA 🏋🏽 NEAR YOU 💪🏼"
I just want to be able to clearly hear dialog. Apparently that's an unreasonable request in modern sound mixing.
It'd also be nice if they stopped having scenes so poorly lit you can't see what's happening.
Darkness and mumbling punctuated with lens flares and BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM because sensory assaults are cruise control for EPIC
It's so awful. I've been watching an HBO show the past week and I've gotta crank everything in my setup to 200% to be able to hear everyone's voices (and of course when they decide to get loud it peaks the shit out of my speakers), don't have to do that with any other channel.
Yeah I can't stand when people move around on my pirated cam videos
I want every movie to have the sound mixing fuckery of tenant during important dialogue. You can't stop the future
Are you just watching movies from 1998-2010? Trailers don’t say those lines anymore unless it’s a children’s movie or low brow “#1 comedy in amerca” movie.
I swear that the 2024 remake of the "Crow" movie has the exact same sequence of presentation. There's the 2024 Transformers animated movie, which is also similar. And there's more, which I can't seem to recall at the moment.
Don't forget the slow tempo remix of famous song from movie they're rebooting for the 6th or 7th time.
I had to laugh when the Beetlejuice 2 trailer did this with the fucking Banana Boat Song
You spin me riiiiight round...

Wow, great. Lost the entire comment because of some tracker in the link. 🙄

I'd assume when they say "modern cinema" they mean movies coming out within a year or so of now, which likely discludes movies from before they were born. Rather than movies from the modern era.
I agree with the other points though. Trailers are interesting (though if I'm looking forward to something and know I'm going to consume it, I now avoid trailers and advertising for that)
"contemporary cinema" is probably a better way to put it, yeah

This is why you pirate that shit, except Deadpool and Aliens because those were actually good this year.
both those are prime pirate fodder to me. the only major studio release that I saw in theaters this year was Furiosa and it flopped :/
Everything was run through a color filter that turned absolutely everything black. I'm literally looking at a black screen but hearing audio. Is this hysterical blindness? Is the scene supposed to be completely invisible? Is my computer about to explode?
Oh yeah and it also needs a "dry humping against wall face-eating kiss for 1 second" moment.
Didn't you also forgot the Abba/Mama-mia song troupe for slutty girlboss, who ends up with a "pious" old-money hunk, and senior-citizen-coming-of-the-day movies?
And explicit rap song for kids movie - who cares if there's racial slurs, adult slangs, and textual graphic content, right?

The new Space Jam had the Droogs from Clockwork Orange for le epic kid friendly reference.
I'm so sick of that canned-epic template that I deliberately arrive late if I'm going to the movies at all.

The best movie that came out this year was Love Lies Bleeding, and it had a pretty great trailer too. though I'd recommend just going in blind
Trailers aren't a part of the movie?
But modern trailers just spoil the entire film, and well, I am already picky when it comes to watching movies.
Do you have any favorite trailers from 2024 so far? I think there have been some good ones.
So far, Kensuke's Kingdom, Time Patrol Bon, The Glassworker and Kalki 2898.
I haven't seen any of those except Kalki 2898, both that and the movie were fire though
I feel like most of A24's trailers were pretty good, the Alien: Romulus trailer was fire, and I guess it's technically from 2023 but the trailer for Sometimes I Feel About Dying was fantastic too
