Truly baffles me how a middle age Mexican guy chose to make that stinker of a movie.

Last thing he made I watched was Diary of the Dead was so terrible I even forgot it was by Romero. He might've honestly tried to proccess the digital age and make a comment on it, but he was too out of touch, too old by then. It's more sad than repulsive and it has some good visuals.
Im my opinion it would've been better if he did it like the into and the promotional videos to Day of the Dead remake- like you are watching tv/youtube during the early stage of appocalypse, like a variety show- we have frantic news ancors losing their nerve as they read the list of shelters that were overran, then switching to cameo by the great Tom Savini in police uniform, telling reporter how their Police Department is burning the dead, then comedically pointing to one of the bodies and saying "I think I boned her once, yeah, I think I did, a decade ago or so", switching again to the reporter filming in the hospital, as confused and scared people with bite wouds keep showing up, great stuff.

Dont get me wrong Diary and Survival are rubbish, he shouldn't have made them, bit of a sad end to a great film-making career, even Land where you can tell he was trying didn't have that creepy vibe that the original trilogy had.

We've probably all worked in a situation where the team is really good and manages to get the job done despite the boss being a clueless assholes, who's to say that doesn't happen in movies too?

Isn't that basically what some people said about the original Star Wars? To hear people talk about it, what saved Star Wars was the fact that George Lucas was already effectively making a homage to Flash Gordon and talented people in the industry were tard-wrangling him at every turn.

To answer OP's question: The Big Chill. Sort of a cheat since it's about boomers, but it's such navel-gazing bullshit I can't think of a better candidate.

Any sort of degenerate teen movie from the late 90s/early 2000s, such as American Pie, Road Trip etc.
It's subversive Jewish boomer writers trying to manifest what sort of behaviors White teens should engage in because "it's normalized" and what everyone's doing.
This also applies to 80s movies of the same caliber, of course, like Revenge of the Nerds and Porky's.
Comedy is the cringiest of genres and used almost exclusively for subversive propaganda.

Yep. The first film was saved in editing (go look at the deleted scenes - it was going to be much more melodramatic and the pacing would've been a complete slog). He was (rightfully) kicked out of the director's chair for the next two films.

Ready Player One by Steven Spielberg, you just feel him cash out with that movie. His last few big movies flopped, so he takes a shit book but one that just "remember that ip" and he made slop who's whole value was "don't you kids and man children love all these ips". Only good thing you can say about the movie' it's better than the book.

To be fair to Spielberg there is an absolutely no way to polish that turd. It was a straight adaptation of something with the random tie-ins and quality of the Sonichu comics. Spielberg working with ILM for the effects was the closest it was going to get to okay. Apparently they’re considering an adaption of Ready Player Two, which will be even worse. But it won’t be The Room-style funny bad, it’ll be slickly produced Wattpad fanfiction.

Even more so than movies, TV is peak boomslop. SVU is great at this. Their “very special episodes” are all crazy. People wonder how their parents hold weird ideas or have crazy worldviews, when most of them go home and watch this stuff for six hours straight five nights a week:

The Star Wars OT was basically all propped up by Empire (and the first half of Jedi) being so good. The original movie was saved in editing into a good but not great casual summer movie, but would be largely forgotten today if it wasn't followed up by Empire Strikes Back. Empire knocked it out of the park, but they got so up their own ass trying to sell toys they had to bring in the Ewoks to fuck up Jedi. The last half of Jedi kind of sucks shit because the tone is all over the place due to the Ewoks. Instead of leaving it as Wookies they tried to make the Ewoks both fearsome warriors and toyetic cute comic relief guys and it didn't work at all.
