With The Boys, Snowfall, Succession and although a terrible ending omitted with GoT TV is telling better more fleshed out stories than any movie could. Do you agree or nah?
I Think 2019 the Tide Has Turned TV on Cable/Streaming > Cinema
- Thread starter AnonymityX1000
- Start date
imo it’s been like that for the last few years...I made a similar thread on another forum years ago...agree w/ you wholeheartedly...I’ve stopped going to the movies for the most part bcuz outside of the obvious blockbuster hits a lot of movies have been a letdown for me
I think the last movie I went to the theater for was Creed 2. Cable and streaming got me fed to the point that it's not worth the drive for that one movie.

Thinking of the nominees for Best Picture The Favourite, Roma and A Star is Born were underwhelming to wack. Black Klansmen and Green Book were OK and BP was the only one I liked. Didn't see Vice or Bohemian Rhapsody.
The 10 -13 hour drama is just the form to tell the best stories now.

I’ve hit the theaters to see some of the marvel flicks...civil war...black panther...infinity gauntlet/end game...prior to that the last movie I went to see in the theaters was hustle and flow
for some movies you have to wait too long for the story to unfold and things to get going and sometimes the “payoff” simply isn’t worth the 2-3 hour wait...w/ a lot of television shows the first 30 minutes to an hour can hook you into a season’s worth of television

To me, my board!
Not to mention movie prices going up over the last decade.

As someone who greatly prefers TV, I don't think it's a fair comparison.
The space (and time) that TV has to tell a story means that a movie can never form the kinds of bonds with a viewer that a TV show can.
A good movie is like a dime you've seen a couple of times and she's bad, but you don't know her outside of a "hey" every now and then. Good TV is like that 7/10 girl you've known since you were kids and you know and love everything about her.
Probably a flawed analogy but it's all I could think of.

Nah, just the fact that they have increased discourages folks.
The Favourite was hilarious fukkery and I'm not sure how anyone couldn't see that?

Was it hilarious? Maybe amusing at most. The ending was just terrible.
