Sure they aren’t as “good” to people like us. But they aren’t meant to be trendy and to have niche music in them, or to even showcase JUST the tricks. Gotta have some respect. Warren Miller was the guy who essentially birthed the genre of ski films. You have to change your perspective when your watching a warren Miller film if you want to enjoy it. Usually they have some sort of story. If your expecting something like child labor then your already lost. I agree I’d prefer to watch other things and WM can get boring but you can’t just say “Warren Miller movies suck”.
JalmarKalmarI can say WM movies suck because they suck and are boring af. Even reddit has realized that.

Goretex_Vidalmy friend who skis ttwice a year and has never watched a Keeshlife edit is hyped to ski this season after seeing the new one so at least I’ll have someone to ski with this year
sindreplassenWarren miller ENTERTAINMENT tried to end level1 in 2009, shitty people and even shittier videos. Warren miller is cool as hell and a true pioneer, to bad his grandchildren sucks
caveman31Every newer Warren miller movie is just slo mo powder turns mixed with bad skits and yapping about the “euphoric feeling of powder” and the formula doesn’t change.

ReturnToMonkeyEvery newer street movie is just hi speed editing you can't follow mixed with people yelling curse words and euphorically hugging their cronies after every shot and the formula doesn't change
GrandThingsIts always awkward asf when your ski-adjacent friends are like "yoo check this out, a ski premiere in town this weekend" and it's inevitably Warren Miller or TGR and you have to explain to them why it's actually not cool....

eheath+1 for fuck WME you clearly didn't know that Mr. Miller isn't involved with WME anymore.
I agree that what Warren has done is legendary and created ski movies, but he hasn't been involved with WME for over a decade. Their movies are the literal worst ski movies that are made every year, even for a general audience they do a bad job IMO - TGR/MSP do a far better job of appealing to the general audience while making an entertain product.
WME is trash dude.

*DOGI don’t disagree at all WME is not good. But all I was getting at was that Warren Miller back in the day pioneered ski movies. And even if some of the movies are not considered as exciting, it doesn’t make them “suck”. I haven’t seen any WME movies in the last ten years. But even if it’s trash, it’s tough to label all the movies as shitty.

And that I don’t agree with that statement. But yeah, fuck Warren Miller entertainment and what they have been doing for the last while.
