For the past couple of years or more, I seem to be playing it safe with movies - generic comedies or action-comedies.
I often wonder if it is worth it to watch thoughtful deeper movies like Kieslowski’s or whoever their modern counterparts are.
Books-wise I seem to be in a comfort zone of historical studies and not interested in fiction or other stuff. I wonder if this phase would pass
“I seem to be playing it safe with movies”
The only movies we’ve gone to in a decade are “Maverick-Top Gun” and “Reagan”.
At home, we stick to re-watching Dirty Harry, Beverly Hills Cop, Die Hard, etc.
I hardly watch any new movies. I refuse to watch animated movies or comic book movies....and I also refuse to watch old movies where they substitute a left handed, Black, Transgender, Handicapped, Pedo for a Straight White Male protagonist after making the Straight White Male hero look weak and incompetent before killing him off, in their grand fight against “the Patriarchy”.
So that rules out the vast majority of what Hollywood’s been making for the last decade or so.
