So I turned on the car radio and there was one of those annoying lists from
Fandango.com ("the #1 moviegoer destination"!), and this one was the top 10
movie taglines of the past 10 years.
They were all pretty lousy, but the last couple were from Gran Torino ("Get
off my lawn") and the #1 was from Juno ("I mean, I'm already pregnant, so
what other kind of shenanigans could I get into").
Now I happened to see both those movies and thought they were pretty good by
2000s standards, but are those really the very best taglines of the past ten
years?
And if they are, then doesn't that reinforce what I have been thinking for
quite some time, which is that the reason I think most modern movies are
pretty crappy is not that they are poorly acted or directed, but that the
writing is really dreadful?
Or I am just an old fogey, thinking everything older is better?
