Do I have ADHD or are movies getting worse?

[Anonymous]

I can't watch one for more than 10 minutes without getting distracted

Both. They are getting worse, en masse, but the ones that are good are really great. I find it’s like two sides of the dining experience.


There are those who are content with whatever fast food they get out of a bag for the temporary satisfaction it delivers. That’s the bulk of movies these days.


There are also those who will spend the time, effort, and money to go have a spectacular fine dining experience even it its several times the cost of the fast food meal. That’s those few gem movies out there.


Compounding it, the Oscars, Academy Awards, and all rest of the self-bloviating blabber of celebrities all expecting us to watch them tell us how amazing they are, is pointless and lost all relevance. A movie, or it’s actors, winning one of these awards is no measure of whether it’s any good at all.

movies are more boring especially drama. even famous actors many are lazy n dry. like film gray man.

but go overcome your disgust to watch kid films! those are made interesting.

if you are woke you will love disney they poisoned lots of their stuff!

[Asker]

Yeah I think Kids films are good , I loved the Chirstmas Chronicles even though that was just a fantasy kids movie... and I hope woke Disney goes broke lol

[somone69ing]

Ya, woke Disney movies are not worth a watch for sure

Movies are getting worse. Most are recycled remakes of older films. Hollywood has ran out of creative ideas. I mean look at the Mean Girls flick that came out earlier this year which had some of the same cast from 20 years ago and then they just did a remake of Roadhouse. And then that God awful GhostBusters female flick from 2016. Like come on. Do better Hollywood.

Movies rarely hold my attention.

But also I have ADHD, so

[Bklynbadboy12]

What does hold your attention

[milknhoneyy]

@Bklynbadboy12 lots of things. Mostly things that give me dopamine lol

[Bklynbadboy12]

Can you give me a few examples you can tell me in private if you want

[Cheapskate]

I recently saw La La Land for the first time and loved it so much. So I don't think movies are getting worse. I guess there are more movies being made, so more crap too.

[Asker]

Well that's 8 years ago though

[Cheapskate]

Holy shit is that 8 years old? I feel so old. I am so behind on culture. I mean, Oppenheimer sucked. Maybe you are onto something.

You can find out what's the case by watching one of your favorite movies, it should tell you what is happening. As movies nowadays are getting bad with few exceptions.
As for ADHD, even if you think you have one you should probably consult an expert on that first.

[RoreySir]

Ohhh, most movies have certainly gotten worse!

I now take my time to really feel good about what I am going to watch and only then watch it mostly. Cutting down on content and building an initiative guess for the movies worthyness helped get back to finding good stuff

[ChiTown33]

No, you're just getting older. Hollywood really has run out of ideas. They just recycle and repackage movies.

Did you see "Ready player 1"? Tell me that wasn't Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, just with video games.

[ProbablyClueless]

I haven't been impressed with very many movies, in recent years.

They just don't interest me. It feels like we're just recycling old IPs.

[Dargil]

I apply my personal ADHD rule. I give a movie 20 to 30 minutes to get my attention.

[Bklynbadboy12]

I don't have ADHD but they don't hold my attention anymore either

[BonzoInBitburg]

And they're way too damn long.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Movies are getting worse.

[JonesT10Apr]

really I didn't know much about it

[JonesT10Apr]

can I get a message in DM?

[mandyfire98]

Both

[Asker]

Hurray! ... smh

[mandyfire98]

I have ADHD and it's hard for me to concentrate on most things. A show works better for me because I can watch an episode and then go do something else.

[Asker]

Go girl!

[Asker]

And look at the feed...

[ChicoFromThe305]

Both? 😂
