Hollywood Movies

Is it just me, or Hollywood movies really suck? Have been sucking actually for sometime now. How many factors are contributing? Let's count: Not a whole lot of talent, in the story writing, acting, directing and everything; running out of stories to tell, people are getting stupider so they need to be fed crap so they go to the theatres, any intelligent story won't sell. I'm not even gonna start how great movies used to be blah blah blah.

Movie studios have been doing terrible as the cost of movie making is going up and movies don't sell as much. A step up for actors and producers used to be from TV to movies, but in the past several years the flow has reversed. Big names like Donald Sutherland, Gina Davis, Charlie Sheen, Jerry Bruckheimer etc. have all flocked to TV for more money and recognition. While we are on the subject Jerry Bruckheimer is a genius. This guy is really exploiting TV and with such shows as CSI (with all its franchises) is making shit load of money.
Anyway, TV was and is king. However, just wait, with the growth of DVR (TiVo-like recorders) and the ability of skipping commercial, the TV idustry will go under a big reform as well. This is in addition to entry of major telcos (Verizon and SBC) into the TV delivery arena and competing with Comcast and Cox's of the world driving the TV subscription revenue down.

So what is next for the movie industry? Well I really hope the movie industry reinvents itself and stops paying these no talent ass clown actors and actresses less money and pay more attention to quality as opposed to who should be in it. For the love of God, does Kirsten Dunst deserve millions of dollars she gets paid for stupid movies she is in? Don't wanna sound like a snobish jerk, but Europeans are making some great movies. Just try A Very Long Engagement. And with so many things happening in our world, you can really watch and learn from amazing documentaries that are available even on Netflix. Give it a try, you won't regret it; and PBS is always offering great documentaries too and in HD!
