Your post has it all in just two sentences: Maximum cynicism, "kids these days", "movies these days", randomly bringing up MTV, whinging about attention span, bringing up dopamine.
Really .. can you at least try to not be so cynical about the present? Everybody's walking around with a star trek device in their pocket that has all of the world's knowledge, can remote call anyone on earth, and can translate any language into any other.
Oh yes, and some movies suck. I bet if you look at the past few years of releases you'll find some you like, too.

- permo-w 4y agoyou’re right, we are living in an era of incredible technology, and there are still plenty of good films nowadays, but you’re arguing with an imaginary figure you’ve invented. pretty much all they said was that attention spans are shorter nowadays - observably true - and that modern films cater to that - which the profit motive ensures that isn’t “maximum cynicism” or “whinging” or even an attack on modern life why are you jumping to such an argumentative posture? is this a debate you’ve had elsewhere that infuriated you?
