00:012007 was an incredible year for cinema, and maybe, depending on who you ask, the last
00:06truly great one we've gotten. You had the Coen's No Country for Old Men, a neo-Western
00:11masterpiece with an iconic Javier Bardem performance. You had David Fincher's Zodiac,
00:15probably his most unheralded work given how overlooked it was that year. Then there was
00:20Tony Gilroy's legal thriller Michael Clayton and Paul Thomas Anderson's There Will Be Blood.
00:24And then in and amongst all of that you also had stuff like Hot Fuzz, Ratatouille, Superbad,
00:29and a lot of these films did pretty well at the box office even with franchise newcomers
00:34and mainstays kicking around too. Why was 2007 so good and different from the IP focused industry
00:40we've had over the last decade? Seriously, it's like we had a mini 70s or 90s renaissance where
00:46creators could make unique things that would resonate en masse. I'm not entirely sure what
00:51different things coalesced to gift us with this specific moment in film history, but I do hope
00:56that we have movie years like this to look forward to again someday.
00:59I'm just getting into this new video that's not one of the things that we might be able to
00:59be in to that world or the world.
00:59Get out of here today.
00:59I'm just getting into that new video.
