I know it’s not breaking news but movies today can’t touch the movies of old. I just finished rewatching Gangs of New York and I’m thoroughly convinced you could pick any director and any actors today, give them 500 million dollars and they wouldn’t come close to that kind of quality. I know we’re all bitcoiners but is the problem really just fiat or is it something deeper?

It's politics of hollywood & the MPAA they set the standards, limits, & benefits. What we need is to end the monopoly which is hollywood having the final words on how what is approved on screen production.

I don't even watch movies anymore. Always disappointed. I thought it was just me getting old.

The art of storytelling gets lost. Plus, people have too short attention spans now to be able to follow any complex or incoherent storyline. Movies became simply entertainment instead of a form of art.
