I loved Vanilla Sky. And you are right. Frequently I’ll watch a b movie from the 80s or 90s or some made for TV movie I had forgotten about and it’s brilliant by comparison to a lot we get today. A lot of entertainment today is so obsessed with representation or “the message”. Agree about Jordan Peele. I thought get out was way overrated but I guess I’m in the minority. I kinda feel like if he could a just write stories and shut up about race all the time he would be better. But like you said he is what critics love so he will always get praise. Same thing with female directors
