Speaking or worse and worse copies...I just saw the Alien: Romulus thread float to the top of the sidebar.
Cinema is probably doomed.

The live-action remakes are nothing more than creatively bankrupt business decisions meant to secure rights to properties that are about to fall into the public domain.

I get where you're coming from, of course. I used to be like that for years, too. But it's vain, empty, and, frankly, just silly. I one is a cinephile, this requires a superior look at the art of cinema than that of a Sunday movie lover. Being a cinephile is an obligation of first feeling, then understanding, and then responding to that feeling and understanding with apt assessment of a work of film. If a film doesn't fulfill your artistic virtues (here's where subjectivity comes into play), it's a failure of a film and has to be treated as such. Of course, this is still nowhere close to where Marvel movies fall. They're the worst of the worst safe for maybe James Gunn. The dude is not very talented but at least he tries to do something more.

If there's nothing you hate in film, there's a good reason to be suspect of your opinions. The very idea of having a taste includes the idea that there are some things you cannot stand.
