Set in 1973, it chronicles the funny and often poignant coming of age of 15-year-old William, an unabashed music fan who is inspired by the seminal bands of the time. When his love of music lands him an assignment from Rolling Stone magazine to interview the up-and-coming band Stillwater -- fronted by lead guitar Russell Hammond and lead singer Jeff Bebe William embarks on an eye-opening journey with the band's tour, despite the objections of his protective mother.
I miss living in an age where something like this could be produced. There’s no way this movie would work now. Disney (Marvel and Star Wars) has pretty much fucked things up pretty badly now.
I don’t think we’ll ever go back to being able to see this type of film being made.
The Marvel garbage made it safe and easy for the film industry to make bank. No one wants to take risks on original stories now. It’s too easy to just recycle the same plot and characters and cash big checks now.
So that’s why they get shit on. They raised the lowest common denominator in film to become the status quo. Poorly written nonsense with bright flashy explosions.
Ah okay, I mean I buy that part too but I think that’s more investors and the film industry themselves to blame.
I say that, but I also blame Apple for getting the industry on removing the SD card slot, headphone jack too. So I follow the same logic it seems.
I also think Netflix and streaming have changed things. A lot more interesting shows are being streamed and we likely don’t hear about them either with the market segmentation on different platforms. There’s a chance more people would go to the cinema to watch more “spectacle” or “events”. I think that’s kinda been shown because the MCU has been throwing bomb after bomb up until Deadpool and Wolverine.

FYI: The movie didn’t make a profit in theaters worldwide. So it most likely became a movie type to not make.
I don’t know why Marvel movies always get shit on.
Isn’t it the audience’s fault? We’re not watching enough indie stuff in theatres or just wanna pirate movies or stream on Netflix instead right?
