They don’t make rom-coms or love movies like they used to. Why is that??

[re'up]

There was the J Lo one from 2022, there was actually another one with pirates-- the Clooney one from late 2022, with Julia Roberts. I don't know if any of those were hits, probably they weren't.

it's a different era. There are a lot of the smaller ones like Players on Netflix, which are so disposable, but filled with timely references.

that run from 2k to like early 2010s was dope.

Love is dead and people don't believe in it anymore

It's a shame because No Hard Feelings was a pleasant surprise to me at the movies last year.

yea this was straight.

The was a short lived genre born from the 90s thats why.

People don't make Western or musical movies like they used to either.

Only the most basic genres stay timeless, Action, Comedy, Drama

The rest have their eras of dominance then fall off to lesser indie roles

Can't sit through sappy romance joints. Has to have a good amount of fukkery.

Like I tolerated the lovey dovey parts of Titanic because I knew it was also part disaster movie and a boat load of cacs were gonna die

Rom-coms with a sci-fi angle like Palm Springs or raunchy comedy like No Hard Feelings were also cool.

I was thinking of this, but I kinda threw it in the raunchy comedy genre than rom com

 

[Dirty Mcdrawz]

Fall Guy is essentially a action romcom

check out past lives, it's a love movie, oscar nominated last year

also, upgraded and musica on prime, both are rom coms

I liked upgraded more than the sweeney movie this year

Great movie. Stuck with me for a while with the various themes it confronts. One of my favorite movies from last year.

There's various genres that are way less represented. I think a lot of people are kind of jaded about love and relationships, and rom-coms have some sort of dreamy optimism about them. That doesn't fit these times. Kind of like the detective or lawyer movies, for whatever reason there seems to be a lot less of those these days.

I was also thinking, but it's totally unrelated, that it seems to be a while since the last big vampire, zombies or space blockbusters. I love the new style of Villeneuve type SF movies, but every now and then I wouldn't mind like a good SF/space movie with some more action.

Comic book movies happened. The focus shifted.

 

[NYChase718]

Incels done took over. It sounds cliche, but these neckbeards review bomb the shyt out of these types of movies nowadays, especially if the female star gets sufficient screen time in the trailer.

They dont want to watch themselves if the The 40 year old virgin came out today

No more DVDs=no more ROM coms
