Why I Love Movies

So, as I’m sure you can gather, I despise current movies. I think we can all admit to ourselves that even if you like a few movies that have come out recently, the vast majority are uninspired, remakes, or sequels that aren’t needed. The only movie that came out recently that I can remember liking, is Spiderman: No Way Home, and that is because I love all the old Spiderman trilogies, and Spiderman in general is one of my favorite fictional characters of all time(I’m going as Spiderman for Halloween, or at least that’s the plan). I can still name multiple things I dislike about the movie as well.  I had to face this question after being forced to watch Lightyear with my family. While they loved the movie, I despised it despite loving Buzz Lightyear and Toy Story in general.  As someone who wants to make and act in movies, TV shows, YouTube series, etc., I began to wonder why I even want to do anything entertainment at all. Hollywood is a prejudiced, uninspired place, and it should be something I steer clear of.  So, I looked into why I love movies. I watched a variety of movies from my childhood, from all the major companies such as Warner Bros, Disney, Universal, Lions Gate, Blue Sky, Dreamworks, and more. I watched a variety of genres, including horror because my mom loves horror movies and plays them all the time.  So now, I know why I love movies, and why I hate current movies.  There are themes in previous movies that I love, that still resonate with me today. I am mortified about a lot of things, one of them is the future. Toy Story 3 faces this theme head-on, showing Andy grow up and get ready to go to college. I myself will go to college soon, so this made me ugly cry. I cry during Up, but really only the first 5 minutes and the credits. Coco resonates with me because I’m a Mexican(although I could make a whole post about everything wrong with Coco), and while it has its flaws, its stayed with me because I had lost my grandmother around the time the movie came out, so I was in my feels from minute one.  I don’t get scared with horror movies, but some of my absolute favorites are Us, Scream, Trick r Treat, Killer Klowns From Outer Space, etc. They either are campy, good fun, creative anthology movies with interconnecting plots which I LOVE, or carry super strong themes that I can analyze the shit out of.  I can’t get into all the movies I watched for this, but I took away one thing.  I love movies, because when done well, they can speak to your personal feelings and emotions. You’ll cry in movies that you can personally relate to, either with your own fears, or your own life experiences and values. If you worry about leaving your childhood behind, Toy Story 3 is a great send off and will hit you right in the heart. If you’re in the mood to be scared, tune into a schlocky horror movie. Laugh? A comedy movie written by those who are funny. The human emotional spectrum is a filmmaker’s best tool. If you can make your audience feel something, then its considered a good movie. The audience has to look at themselves on screen, and it’s refreshing to have the things on your mind be seen.  Movies nowadays suck, for some unknown reason. They are all somehow failing to get to your heart and brain, and instead serve as something you turn on to give your brain a rest. Movies with potential to be good, like Encanto for example, either miss the mark in the end, are formulaic, or ruined entirely by its fanbase. Movies now pander to certain aspects of society Disney’s claims of LGBTQ representation or more POC storylines, or don’t take any chances at all for fear of alienating a single person. Sometimes you’re not depicted in movies, and you have to live with that.  Story is wasted in favor of nostalgia. In Spiderman No Way Home, it targets your love of all the previous incarnations of Spiderman and his villains, as well as your nostalgia of the MCU as a whole. That’ why Star Wars won’t die, or Jurassic Park won’t die. They’re nostalgic IPs, that, if laid to rest, won’t make money anymore.  Movies now pretend to be woke. The most egregious example is everything Disney does. They draw attention to even the smallest crumb of gay rep, just to make headlines, draw attention to racial changes in movies to make headlines, all while being racist, homophobic, and transphobic behind the scenes.  Movies are also being pumped out poorly because of the demand that is streaming services. Everyday, our attention spans shrink due to apps like TikTok. We need to be constantly consuming new media, or else our boredom will know no end. So quantity over quality is the new norm.  Entitled movie makers who made a name for themselves with one good movie, such as Taika Waititi are also a huge issue. Look me in the eyes and tell me with a straight face, that you liked Thor: Love and Thunder. You can’t.  Reusing the same actors over and over again takes you out of a movie as well. Just yesterday night, I was watching Umma(which is a good movie about abuse and motherhood) and during the trailers, we had two instances of actors appearing in movie trailers back to back, those actors being Mark Wahlberg and Tom Holland. They’re good actors, but eventually, that immersion is broken if you just saw them in a different movie. My parents brought this example up as well. They call the new DC movie Black Adam, the ‘’Rock Movie”. I saw a Super Pets poster that had Dwayne Johnson’s name larger than the title. I know big names are selling points, but by that point, you’re selling the movie based on who’s in it, rather than the merit of the movie itself.  Movies will only get better, once the consumers learn to step back, and judge a movie not on who made it, or what series its attached too, but based on its quality. Don’t watch a movie just because its Disney, watch it because it actually looks interesting. You wouldn’t read a book if it didn’t sound interesting to you, why are movies any different? YouTube series have something for everyone, whether you like the Markiplier Cinematic Universe, the comedic horror stylings of the Hatchetfield series, or the comedic stylings of the new Shipwrecked show Headless. Even for the really niche fans, you have things like Escape The Night, a murder mystery reality show full of recognizable youtubers. Regular people like you and I, coming up with ideas that are interesting, is happening everywhere. DHMIS is another good example.  Treat movies like you treat any other form of media. Judge it on its own, not on who made it.  So, the reason I love movies, is because when they’re done right, they can be something that speaks to the very soul of the viewer.  Will I stop pursuing movie making? No, I want to be part of the solution to the problem, so these stinkers of the last few years just motivate me more.  Go support actual good works of fiction(LIKE HEADLESS FROM SHIPWRECKED), and rewatch some of your favorite, older movies. 

The next rants I’ll make, will most likely be about my fears, or why I don’t really like Coco. Maybe I’ll talk about something Halloween. 

Have a good October my friends.

Toy Story : Pidy & Cie

There are also other characters that I liked in the films, it's Toy Story, it's my favorite film with toys! I loved the 4 Toy Story films, and I heard that there will be a Toy Story 5 in the works at Disney/Pixar, which will be released in 2026!

I've already imagined a short story, or maybe a medium story for my comic! Here (Toy Story: Pidy & Co), this story takes place in Toy Story 4, where Woody joins Bo, Ducky and Bunny after being separated from Buzz, Jessie and other friends!

This time, a story a bit about Woody, but that of Pidy, a young soft toy made in the 1930s, inspired by a children's television show!

With his friends Tiris, Alichu and the other toys you know well! Kirby, the furbys, the toys in Poppy Playtime, Huggy Wuggy, Kissy Missy and the smiling critters, Wally Darling in Welcome Home, and also Pikachu in Pokemon!

An extraordinary adventure with a fan comic in Toy Story!

Pages are coming soon!
