Yeah, movies nowadays largely belong to two groups, with not much in between: (1) the brainless mass-market type (comic/video game adaptation, remake etc.) which (hopefully) make money, but don't stand a chance at the Oscars (except for rare exceptions like 2019's "Joker"), and (2) the "arthouse" type, which feel like an application for an Oscar nomination, but are not really commercially successful.
- nickthemagicman 6y agoI agree with your two categories. Everything in the art house world is like a dour sad soap opera nowadays jamming the problems of the world in your face for 2 hours. Look at most of the nominees this year. They just looked like sad bleak soap opera type movies that I'm going to walk out of feeling bummed out.
- Apocryphon 6y agoWasn't Joker supposed to be arthouse? Like a modern version of Taxi Driver.
