Hollywood isn't alone in the short term frame of mind.

It's something that's plaguing society as a whole. It's always been an issue but it seems so much more prominent these days.

Spare me, please.

Also, her points seem pretty ignorant to me. Inflated sense of self worth coming through with those explanations.

Summer blockbusters have always been cheesy, explosion filled films. That's what works. When a big budget cheesy film that doesn't rely on story does well, it gets a sequel. Rinse and repeat. It happens in video games too. See: Uncharted.

I dunno, these are points she is using via support from a book written about the business. You can't deny that the domestic movie business has been in huge decline.

I'm not saying it hasn't. I'm saying she assigning too much self importance to things that aren't true.

Saying "were getting bad movies because foreigners" is objectively different than saying "hey people aren't going to movies as much"

Re: What movies have you seen recently?

Perhaps she could have tied them together better? The focus has shifted from a primary American audience to a more globally friendly one due to America's drop in attendance and market share.

The general American public and the general international public dont have wildly varying tastes when it comes to movies.

Image spoilered for length. That is domestic box office numbers. In order:
Year (obviously), total gross (in millions), change, tickets sold, change, # of movies, total screens, Avg. Ticket Price, Avg. Cost and #1 movie of the year.

As far as top movies go? I'd say there's hardly an original work on there.
