So, question in the title but a little context first...
Few days ago I got nostalgic and wanted to re-watch some of the movies of the 90s (the GREATEST era - yes, in ALL CAPS - of movies EVER), and so I randomly started with the Bad Boys movie that I remember to have liked back then but which I've forgotten most about.
And so I went on to download BB and re-watch it. And so I did...
And then I rekindled my taste for such masterpieces and remembered that there was also a BB 2, and so I went and downloaded and re-watched that one too.
And then I got insatiable and went on a searching spree only to find out that there are also parts 3 and 4 of the Bad Boys franchise. Of course, I went on to download and re-watch those 2 parts, too.... I watched the last part (part 4) last night as I made a habit of watching one movie per day, but last night I finished the series and now - as I was about to start watching a new movie - I realized that I've run out of BB movies to watch
Which brings me to the context of this post...
As I sat down, thinking about which movies have gotten good recommendations in the last 5-10 years I realized that the modern-day movies have been so cringe, political and watch-unworthy that I couldn't remember a single one of them that I wanted to watch (which is probably why I keep going back to the movies of the 90s decade, but I digress...)
So, in the absence of a good title to keep feeding my craving for good, quality, low thinking pew-pew action movies with renown actors, I realized that there's not a single title that's come out recently (in the last 5-6 years) that even remotely calls out to me in some way.
So, on I went to "mighty" google with their uber, ultra, mega, awesome technology and intent matching and personalization crap and all of that to recommend me something in the "pew-pew, you're dead" genre and lo and behold the garbage that I found. Like, utter, insane, abhorent GARBAGE everywhere...
First of all, out of all of the 10 sites on 1st page of google for the keyword "best movies of 2024" (and yes, I chose 2024 because I saw that Bad Boys 4 came out in 2024, and so I thought "well, if 2024 is the year when mankind started going back to the old ways of doing things maybe there are more quality movies that have come out in 2024, so probably that's a good year to start searching for more epic movies"...)
So, as I was saying... 10 sites on google's 1st page for the keyword "best movies of 2024" and out of those 10 sites 1 was a YT video (which I obviously had no interest in as I'm only looking for short lists of quality pew-pew action movies with famous actors, I don't care about any god-damn YT video explaining me in chapters what the video is about and all of that crap)
So anyway, out of those 9 sites remaining, 7 of them had lists of "top 20 movies of 2024", the 8th site had a list of top 50 movies, and the 9th site (rotten-something, I don't remember the name of the site, nor do I want to remember it for how garbage it is) had no top [whatever], it just had an infinite scroll and I stopped scrolling after not finding a single quality movie in the first 120 that I checked.... but anyway, the absolutely insane part of all of this is yet to come, and it's this...
.... on ALL of these sites, and ALL THE WAY up to 100, there is NOT A SINGLE mention of Bad Boys 4 (Bad Boys - Ride or Die by its real title) ANY-F**KING-WHERE. Like, WTF is this s*it?
Not only that, but the movies that are in the top [whatever] of [whichever garbage site] that's on google's 1st page is also garbage as f**k, not even kidding. I saw the titles, I then checked the producer, then checked the actors, and with the exception of a couple of titles that featured a few tier 2 (yes, tier 2 as deemed by ME, get over it!) like Ralph Fienes, Jude Law, Zendaya and other crappy actors that I have no interest in, or appreciation for... absolutely NOT A SINGLE quality title or actor anywhere to be found, not even in top 50.
Again, what in the actual f**k is this? Not to mention that all sites (except for IMDB) were forcing me to make 2 full "above the fold" type of scrolls until I got to the next title in the list that wasn't even really a list but more like a mini-blog post.... It's like the entire page 1 of google is filled with garbage sites that nobody's heard of and which are all copy-cats of each other, all of them displaying the same utter trash (and yes, I don't give a f**k about Dune 2, I've never cared for, or ever watched Dune 1, why the F would I watch Dune 2? Give me a break with garbage movies, only "pew-pew, you're dead" movies like Bad Boys are worth watching for me at this moment, everything else is uninteresting and don't want to hear a word about...)
So, besides the fact that google is utter trash with their intent matching and ultra high quality content and whatever other bogus mirage of a SEO criteria they have, the most perplexing fact for me was that a quality movie (well, if we consider action movies to be quality movies, but that's a discussion for another time) like Bad Boys 4 is NOT in top 100000000 of any god damn site on page 1 of google. And the worst of all, it's not even in top 20 movies of 2024 for IMDB either, which is absolutely bonkers if you asked me...
So anyway (and despite of this long rant), can someone recommend a quality "pew-pew, you're dead, we don't need to think here, just pew-pew everyone into the grave!" that's made in the last 5-6 years that's on par with what's come out in the 90s? I really crave a quality action movie like Bad Boys, Independence Day, Heat, etc... and I can't find a single title in google.... well, I don't even know what to look for either as I've been out of touch with the movie industry for at least half a decade, so... if any of you has kept in touch with this industry and can recommend something worth watching AND which also has actors that were famous in the 90s - early 2000s, for the love of God, let me know cause I need to start watching an action movie soon (in 2 hours or so), but I ain't got none because of reasons (garbage google, garbage movie industry, garbage sites)
Rant over, and thanks in advance for any quality recommendation!
