Why Modern Movies Suck - Modern Actors

Video Overview & Insights

The 2022 Oscars debacle really got me to thinking, is this the age of the movie star, and the cult of celebrity ending? Yes, and I'll explain how and why it happened.

Yall want good movies? my cousin is 32 and has been making movies since he was 7. he wont publish or make it out into the public because he said that he got rejected by his crushes. he has crush models like Miranda Kerr, etc and wants to marry beautiful models like them but because he has spent all of his life just doing movie films and video games, he didnt get the opportunity to focus on himself. he says his movie films and video games were going to change the world but getting rejected by his crushes and not getting to be with his models felt like a punishment to him. he is working out and lifting but became very weary and exhausted. Yall did this to yourself. he said that he wont bring his movies and games to reality until he gets his girl. he wont let your kids and future generation have any inspiration and influence. Sorry for bad grammar. im his cousin, one of the animator for his movies and video games.



he has his own art portfolio. he recently discovered Monica Bellucci and says he wants a girl like her. dude felt like he is being punished for no reason. no good movies and video games until he gets his girl. he says he doesnt owe the world anything. Fame, glory, and money dont mean anything to him. he says he can all that but if he doesnt get his girl then nothing means to him. dude got rejected by his crushes ever since he was little. my bro spent his whole life doing movie films, video games, and art and didnt get the chance to focus on his looks and lifestyle. hes living in his parent's garage.

Brilliant 😅 I love how you sincerely call "the message" out. Entertainers getting involved in politics... Please just entain us!

When you use practical effects and actors and actresses can act to real thing around them, it makes it look more realistic. They had it spot on in the 90/00s, where they used only a bit of CGI here and there, mIxed in with Practical effects and VFX. Now it's over use of CGI and some of the CGI from movies only 5 years ago look bad already. CGI from 2000s looks better than most movies today, look at Matrix, Lord Of The Rings Trilogy, Dark Knight Trilogy, Avatar, Transformers, Pirates Caribbean etc. I give you a great example, I watched Creed 2 the other night, it was the first time watching it since I watched it at the cinema when it was released. The last fight was ridiculous, it looks like a ps4 boxing game, the cgi in that fight looks terrible. Yet I will watch Rocky from the 70s and them fights look real because they are actually standing there playing out a real fight. You watch Terminator 1 and 2, Alien, Aliens, Back To The Future Trilogy, Matrix, LOTR Trilogy, they don't make movies that good anymore.



Look at Van Damme, Stallone, Arnie, Bruce Willis and all them great action movies, we were spoilt but again you don't see them movies anymore. Honestly just think, they gave us Die Hard Movies, Terminator Movies, Rambo Movies, Rocky Movies, Kickboxer, Universal Soldier, Bloodsport, Commando, Predator, Demolition Man, it's crazy to think how lucky we were.



You had movies that were not blockbusters like Pulp Fiction, Goodfellas, Casino, Trainspotting, Leon, True Romance, Jackie Brown, Snatch, Lock Stock, Hot Fuzz, Shaun Of The Dead, again you just don't get them movies anymore. I was born in 1984, so I didn't get to see them great movies of the 70s and 80s in the cinema or appreciate them at the time as I was too young. I honestly wish I had been born earlier, to have been able to experience them movies when they were released would of been epic. I did get to see them as I got older and wow so many great movies to see in the 70/80/90 and 2000s, you honestly couldn't get enough, I had so much to watch and just couldn't believe how many great movies there was to see. So that's why we get annoyed and are unhappy with movies today, as we were all use to getting tons of great movies every year.



Just look at the horrors like Nightmare Elm Street, Halloween, Friday 13th, Dawn Of The Dead, Scream, Friday 13th, Hellraiser etc, how many great horror franchises we were spoilt with. You don't even get great comedies anymore like Home Alone, Mrs Doubtfire, Twins, Liar Liar, Cable Guy, Dumb And Dumber, American Pie, Ace Ventura etc etc. So you had a crazy period of great movies and past 10 plus years it's been hit and miss and just not exciting anymore. People say the same about Music, which I obviously understand, you have 60 plus years of movies and music, so at some point you are going to get to a period where you run out of ideas and it's already been done and leaves hardly anything for anybody else to do today. So I don't know the answer but they need to lay of the over use of CGI and green screens and start putting effort in to movies and making them like they use to, when it seemed like they cared.

Leave JK Rowling alone! 😂She's not the same, she's one of the only ones standing up for womens rights.

Sean Connery's wasn't no fk up bud. It was an iconic take and the absolute truth 😂😂😂😂 Watched all the Connery Bond movies back to back after that 😂😂

I agree with everything you said in this episode, except for your comment on JK Rowling. She came into conflict with some of the stars of the HP movies because she took a stand against trans people going into what should be the private spaces of the sex they claim to be rather that the sex they were born into. She has been very clear that she has no issue with gay people. Hell she has no issue with trans people unless a man claiming to be a woman insists on coming into a women’s bathroom or locker room. And she is someone who is no longer a billionaire because she donated so much of her wealth to charitable causes. The 3 main HP actors climbed on a bandwagon that would get them lots of adulation and positive “clicks”. JK took a stand and has stuck by it through a great deal of controversy and negative publicity, but the facts, based on scientific studies are coming out in her side. Hell, she even has said she has no issue with trans people so long as they don’t invade women’s privacy.

"There's still good people out there that have managed to stay humble, grounded and grateful for what they have, and resist the darker impulses of ego and attention seeking." Shot of Henry Cavill in the background in the flash of snippets from different films. This is the kind of subtle storytelling that I like ^^

All they had was money and fame. Now they have money and infamy. As they push programs that make our lives harder and make us struggle just to have a life somewhat like we had 15 years ago they become more and more hated. As we can see in the industry today soon they won't have money either. Ai will come through because our rich powerful enemies are gonna get fked by it. And I'm here for it I hope to see ai take all their jobs.

JK Rowling pretty much single-handedly held line on womens rights. If it wasnt for her we would not have heard of Maya Forsyth being fired for saying biological sex matter. She went against the whole Hollywood machine (and yeah her audience) to do the right thing . She is a legend.

A long time ago, I read in the news that some middle-eastern country was upset over something Gene Simmons said. I was gob-smacked that somebody other than a 26 year-old slacker in a grease-stained Led Zeppelin tee shirt smoking a doob in his mommy's basement gave an actual fuck about anything Gene Simmons had to say.

Modern film is crap due to effnix,nerds,gaylons,madbirds,commies writing them😂

They are actors who don't have any real world skills but have millions to surround themselves with yes men who do..

They legit lie on camera for a living, a damn good one. So when they start spewing political talking points instead of stopping the purple lazer from blowing up the world.. remember they are all charlatans

Easily the most realistic video I’ve seen in a long time. I’ve been saying the social media thing for years.

They are finally knocked of their golden pedestals. Good. Bunch of l00ns. Seperate the art from the actor? NO THANKS. Not anymore! They Hay T you! They Hay T everything you stand for. They look down on you. And the art is dead anyway... (some 'celebs' seem ok and even awesome and genuine) NEXT: the music industry (fingers crossed)

For every Keanu Reeves. there are a thousand Seth Rogens and Mark Ruffalos. And that’s really sad.

Christian Bale, Tom Hardy, Bradley Cooper, Tom Cruise... whatever you think of their acting, are perfect examples of big movie actors who manage to maintain successful careers with ramming their daily mind farts down our throats

FWIW, J K Rowling REDEEMED herself speaking truth to power. Finally. More of them should. Also, I have it in good authority that she's, at least, literate.

Don't sell yourself short drinker.you took a trope ,drunk Scotsman and used it to talk about what you love ,your very funny,a great writer and honest....that's pretty rare and people respect that.....your not cloned in a lab or abused since childhood like most people in media...so yeah stay true to who you are....but maybe take it easy on exp actress's..... Their lives are pretty horrible surrounded by parasites and perverts.

All my heroes have either died, sold out, or let the mask slip on their banality and sense of entitlement. Hopefully, more people will be themselves, as opposed to emulating a celebrity who probably doesn't like them anyway.

Sean Connery said nothing wrong or not rooted in objective reality. No need to pretend otherwise.

Here’s the way I look at it:
Actors’ job is to make their characters feel alive. If they fail at that, then they fail at acting. They aren’t supposed to make us love them, they are supposed to make us appreciate their jobs as actors and like how they played their characters

Hollywood went full rtard. If they believe what they say about politics, then they are all idiots. Government shouldn't be involved in most thinks, and we don't have to be involved in every global disagreement.

I have acted in a fee small productions and it's incredibly boring. You shoot the same scene over and over again. It's tedious. I think that's why most actors are kinds stupid. You have to be able to tolerate that day after day.

Thank you for this. I never knew very much about my favorite actor, Harrison Ford. Now, I think his decades-long devotion to privacy seems very sane.
