Well, this has been a 20 death spiral. The only thing keeping Hollywood alive is a form of senility: long term fond memories crowding out short term amnesia about recent bad movies. Its not that they don’t make good movies; they just don’t make very many of movies at all and most of them are terrible.
Why do they keep making this crap? Because you can’t get any money for anything that hasn’t been tested as marketable. Even the actors have to remind them of someone they once knew. The talent gets homelier and less talented every year. The producers, writers, and directors are usually somebody’s nephew. Actually, I think the real surprise is that it isn’t worse.
