# Haha :) I love this film too.
Must be fucking scary watching it whilst pissed/stoned/etc.

# It's brilliant for background noise, like when I'm working on my laptop.

# Stanley Kubrick is a genius director. Where is that quality today? Nowhere.

# I know right? That film was released in 1968.
The shitty quality of films that came out THIS YEAR, let alone the past 40 years, is inexcusable.

# All this CGI shite is total overkill now. Everything is so overdone and over the top.

# The problem with a lot of films lately is that they're totally forgettable.
The odd exception being, say, some of Christopher Nolan's more popular films, like the Dark Knight. You just have to dig through the stupid remakes, romantic comedies and pseudo-horror films to find the good stuff.

# Unfortunately if you don't overload a film with CGI shite
the masses will decide that it's boring and staid and not watch, meaning you make no money and then if you ever make another film you fill it with CGI shite.

The same goes for a subject nearer to my heart, music. These days if you don't compress something to utter buggery you'll get ignored by everyone because it will sound very slightly quieter than everything else, which is then interpreted as poorly-produced. So we get to the point when albums mastered in the late 80s and early 90s are being remastered... and having their dynamic range totally wiped. Personally I don't actually mind it as much as many do... but when it's done badly it's totally horrible. The music pulses crazily and unpleasantly and makes me feel sick - or it pulses and then crackles because some idiot sound technician doesn't care to use a compressor properly.

Ugh.

the masses probably don't know what staid means

# ^THIS
To put it simply, I know people who thought ALL 3 Transformers films were awesome. I put it down to the CGI, or the fact that they are the only films those people have ever seen in their lives.

# i didn't see this reply
but thank you for agreeing with me. though you would have got away with adding "boris the spider is still a cunt" at the end.

# I don't see what CG has to do with the quality of a film
it's just a tool, like makeup or wardrobe

# They can make some amazing things with it, no doubt...I'm just annoyed when it goes into overkill.
