| > the culture that made those days happen Literally one movie, that was an unexpected hit is your contender for better culture? In 2001 the highest grossing movie was Harry potter, and right below lord of the rings was monsters inc and jurasic park. In 2002 Lord of the rings, Harry potter, Spiderman in 2003 lord of the rings, matrix,nemo and pirates of the caribean. Like how is that any different to now when you have pirates, spiderman, some children disney movie and fantastic beats which is just more harry potter? > the old skills are no longer there. Dune had more practical effects than lord of the rings. In 2001 the TV golden age had not started. Shows like the sopranos and the wire where struggling to find an audience. Friends and CSI reigned. Nowadays House of the Dragon and Last of US two high quality shows, with good use of practical effects are doing better than comparable mediocre daytime tv. Even blockbusters are in many ways better. Andor is a million times better than anything from the 2000s prequels. |
