Essential Official Netflix Thread

[MartyMcFly]

Movie is def (In my opinion) one of the few movies that thoroughly exceeded the first one
and was popular as hell too
shyt i remember having a Ted toy
the cartoon was cool
you know whats really sad tho?
is at what point did we stray away from all that?
like i mean having the movies that had cartoons to coincide with the movie?
cereals
toys and shyt
its so crazy when you look back now and think
"damn... we were really spoiled man when it came to entertainment."

I think it was at the point where kids got more options. The tie in cereals probably don't fly anymore because we've become a more health conscious society in general and those cereals were just packed with sugar. But for toys and tie ins I just think kids have more options than we did growing up. They not only have the toys they have but they've got video games and tablets and laptops and cell phones. There was a time when a toys r us parking lot would never be empty. Now? You can find tumbleweeds. Digital is sucked the kids up where movie studios probably don't waste the time and when they do come out with movie tie in toys it's for the adults who collect

yeah
its crazy to me
i dont know its like with my son i want him to have that FULL experience
toys
t-shirts
some of the shows on demand
cause i remember when i was little
you didnt just want to see the movie or whatever you wanted to be fully immersed in the whole shyt
and imo i think thats why so many kids just lack that ability to be creative now
cause none of these movies even really seem like they are even for kids like that
its like "yeah that was cool, but the adults were more into it than i was."

Well you still got Pixar flicks but for the most part yeah I agree with you. Simon Pegg wrote a blog about our generation and his generation being the first generations that didn't really have to grow up. We came of age during a lot of stuff and video game companies, studios, comic book companies etc decided to keep appealing to us because we're loyal and we're going to spend money.

And when it comes to kids movies, they were normally cheap back in the day to produce but you and I both know that rarely now do you get mid tier movies released in theaters. It's either a big blockbuster or an indie flick and no in between unless it's on demand or Netflix
