I don’t write them off, I’m just not interested in watching actors in front of a green screen anymore. It doesn’t matter to me how hard CGI artists work because the medium itself has lost appeal for me.
I’m interested in traditional filmmaking techniques: shooting on film, a focus on story and acting, practical effects, matte painting, traditional darkroom and traditional editing (cutting and splicing) etc.
This is why I mostly watch 20th century movies now.
I don't think anything will make me feel older today than the phrase "20th Century movies". Lol.
They were the movies I grew up with! Watch a movie like The Goonies or Raiders of the Lost Ark. There’s nothing like that these days!
