    There’s a form of recency bias at play. We tend to compare recent middling movies with the ones we remember from the past, which tend to be the exceptions. But trust me, there were some very shitty blockbusters in prior decades as well.

    Give it a decade or two, and people will remember the '20s as a decade of amazing blockbusters. I mean, heck, we had Barbie and Oppenheimer in theaters at the same time just a few weeks ago. The fact these two movies were released the same weekend is gonna blow people’s minds in twenty years.

        You think the only major film about Oppenheimer is not going to be played endlessly in history classes?

          Well it’s really long. Maybe they’ll play an abridged cut

        First of all, how dare you?

        The name of that movie will echo throughout history and be remembered for eternity as the greatest movie ever made, starring the greatest character actress who ever lived. (also, finally win an Oscar)

        (Due to strike rules, I was totally talking about Oppenheimer, of course.)

      I think people would rather talk about Spider Verse and Glass Onion
