I can discuss films from 70s to present time, at wala akong mapagkwentuhan. Nowadays, audiences, both theaters and at home, just consume product, open their smartphones and take a photo with flash on. This is the case when I watched The Meg 2.
When I open discussions they're just simply slap me with "Napanood ko na yan. Maganda naman, walakumpake sa story" card. Parang nasa The Truman Show's last few seconds lang, eh.
Gosh, how can they find a movie good kung wala silang pake sa story? Shouldn't a good movie make you care to the story, character etc.?
Yung pamangkin kong 15yo, hindi nagustuhan yung Nocebo kasi daw natalo yung bida. 🤪 I guess, dapat manalo yung bida para sa ibang tao para masabi na maganda yung pelikula. And I guess he cared for the wrong character. Nag explain ako ng todo about the movie. Hopefully napickup nya.
Same energy sa mga nagsasabi na "Di daw maganda na horror movie kasi konti lang yung jumpscare or not gory enough" on any good movie that doesn't rely too much on those things hahaha.
Buti ka pa you had the patience to explain, I wouldn't hahaha.
I tend to watch horror pictures, not to scare myself. Most jump scares in films are too annoying. Talk To Me and Evil Dead Rise are recent horror pictures I watched in theaters and genuinely creep me throughout.
Sometimes, genre films can be tiresome, and ending up watching some B-action and obscure indie films.
I preferred slow-burn, anxiety-inducing horror films. Minsan kasi parang ang cheap ng pelikula na nag rerely lang sa jumpscares amd gory scenes. I still enjoy jumpscare scenes naman.
Yeah, I kinda stopped watching horror for a while mainly because I live alone hahaha. I watch more comedies nowadays, specifically screwball comedies like His Girl Friday and most Cary Grant movies.
Matic boring agad yan sa mainstream, haha.
Psychological horror films are underrated af. Chris Nolan, for the first time, attempted this with Oppenheimer, and damn... the entire third act.
Kailangan natin iexplain sa mga bata, lalo na si Sara may hawak sa education. Pinapanood ko din sa kanya yung YouTube channel na The Take para matuto magbasa ng mga movies at TV series. Pati yung Nerdwriter about the Avengers as defenders of the status quo, pinanood ko din sa kanya. Di naman need tayo mag explain lahat.
Ang dami dami pwede punain sa movie yun pa napansin niya, haha. Ako yung problema ko nakapag-teleport siya sa London.
Ako ang problema ko, na brain drain yung Ongo. Pati ba naman yun?
I do laugh some nonsensical moments in films like those extremely absurd "contents" on Tubi, but calling them "a good movie?" Oh no!
