I'm not a movie guy (always been much more into books and games), and I don't disagree with the assesment, but here's a question: do you think it's possible for China and South Korea based productions to supplant the Hollywood machine?

Hardly, but let's see. Maybe Japan.

It's possible but not likely. Westerners in general and Americans in particular are pretty insular with their tastes. RRR and Godzilla Minus One were good movies and some Americans liked them but most Americans seeing those would complain about subtitles or how "weird" they were.

Sure, most americans are like that. But you're not most americans, so at least there's hope for your future enjoyment, right? 🙂

Caleb expand your old school film binge with japanese and euro flicks. There are great stuff to discover.

Agree on the Asian stuff and good point. I'm a huge fan of Hong Kong cinema. Japan's and Korea's is also really good.

Europe is a little more complicated... a very mixed bag there. Some good, a lot of shit though.

I’m looking to do the same. How do you incorporate movie watching with your paleo compatible dopamine lifestyle?

Big awesome action movies are not paleo-compatible (but slow-moving dramas are okay). So I watch them sparingly, once a week max.
