You're watching the wrong movies. Watch Japanese, Chinese and South Korean movies, they're much better than the movies made in the US. They don't design their movies for the lowest common denominator in society like Hollywood does.

You have got to be kidding. I was forced to watch chinese movies on an air china flight from New York to Beijing recently, and I cannot imagine a worse torture. Nonsensical plots and horrid special effects. Give me Pirates or the Dark Knight 7 days a week and twice on Sunday.

Regarding movies and television, the current time has a big advantage over those that grew up even 15 years ago. There are a large number of networks making shows and the ones that really push the edge (such as justified and sons of anarchy can be seen on networks that were not around 10 years ago. The big 4 networks make mostly crap reality shows, because they are cheap. But there is just a lot more coming out now, so even if its 80% crap, the 20% left is still more than what was produced in earlier decades.

Same with movies. Studios have to fill up megaplex cinemas, so they produce a lot more movies, many of which are considered crap. But they also produce some really good movies, such as LOTR trilogy and the Dark Knight.

I'd recommend digging deeper. Typically Americans only get exposed to the stereotypical Asian films that portray them only as ninjas, samurai and feudal lords. Most Asian movies I watch don't even have special affects. The slice of life films and crime dramas are excellent.

Can't say I enjoy PotC or Dark Knight. Special effects are overrated and so many films these days rely solely on the visuals. Everything else is poorly done. It's just like the 3D animated films. All the ones I have seen are horrible and pale in comparison to classic 2d animations like Aladdin and Swan Princess.

The 00's had better movies? Uh... not even close.

If hard to judge the 00's because of the internet boom. File sharing and social media have completely changed how future generations will interact.

??? is that supposed to be a strain or something?

yeah one of my favs even though the best stuff imo depends more on the grower than strain type.

Other good ones: Hawaiian Snow, Fire Haze, & Harlequin...and Silver Pearl

Shouldn't you be stoned by now? :D

I haven't smoked in a while..

actually, I take that back.. I've smoked maybe 2 times in the last month.. which was yesterday (went fishing with an old friend) and last weekend.

oh, and I caught fish.. so technically, I was catching more than I was fishing.

I haven't smoked in 4 months.

:(

<-------- blazed right now :seeya:

90's kid <3
