A decade later and LMS is still basing his opinions/arguments from what critics/sites say instead of forming his own views from his own experience like any normal person would.

Look, I wasn't around at that time, so I'm just going off of what I've heard. Perhaps that was overstated though, but this is not exactly a matter where one can have an opinion, right? We're not arguing over the quality of a work, we're arguing over a trend in the film industry. And from what I can tell, there were a lot of shoot 'em-up movies in the '80s and '90s.

Maybe I'm just going off of high-profile movies or something? I don't know.

EDIT: BT might have a point, but I never said those other movies weren't there. In this case I am going off of news articles and industry analyses, but what else exactly do I have to go off of? At best you can make a case that these trends are overplayed, like the idea of The Hunger Games being successful enough to get more female-led blockbuster movies greenlit. Which is pretty much what I'm trying to do in the first place with the whole idea of Get Woke, Go Broke. Maybe the idea is that not as many of those movies got traction?

Is it bad that I watch a lot of Siskel & Ebert and that it has come to shape a lot of how I view films? Plus I should mention my favorite movie didn't get Two Thumbs Up from them, and I've seen a number of movies named in their Worst of the Year specials which I didn't think were quite as bad as they said like Willow, Armageddon, Hocus Pocus, Happy Gilmore, and Scrooged. I even like the last two.

People complaining about SJWs are such hypocrites when they're just as easily offended, if not moreso.
