Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Just think about the really great movies that couldn't be made today because of "political correctness".

Just think about all the whining about political correctness by the people who think they aren't snowflakes but are whining that movies can't be made today.......despite no evidence that somebody is trying to make a movie today and is being told they can't.

Yeah those movies couldn't be made today because no one would pay $30 a ticket to watch in a theater surrounded by cell phones when they could watch the same movie 7x this month on their 80" home tv and pause for restroom breaks for literally less than a single ticket.

So you're saying that if we brought back Sean Connery to play the new Bond and the script was similar to Goldfinger everyone would be cool ?

Movies like Bad News bears wouldn't be made today because they're not relatable in 2025. In 1977 although it was somewhat exaggerated it still felt like it could be real. Tanner, Buttermaker and especially Kelly were people we knew. Every school or neighborhood had that thug kid who was the best athlete around. Tanner, the aggressive little squirt. The drunken coach. Kids are nothing like that today and even less adults like the Matthau character would never be allowed around kids these days. Movies really started changing in the 90's. especially the late 90's as did the culture. Look at 80's MTV compared to 90's MTV. People born after 1990 or even in the mid to late 80's couldn't even begin to comprehend the world before the PC age hit. I've said it before, it's like one morning we woke up and the world was upside down.

Watching this a again, in the first minute two things stand out. First is the San Fernando valley of the 1970's. So perfectly captured here. Second is watching Matthau open his beer and discard something. It took me a second to remember, pull tab cans. Those disappeared shortly afterward,
