We do seem to have hit a dry spell for thoughtful movies intended for adults...

...but doesn't that happen most summers?

It's the fact that the blockbusters seem to suck so profoundly.

I cannot remember such a string of really bad 'event' movies.

Ever.

  ...Prometheus (I know), nearly all recent "event" movies have been aimed at adolescents, primarily males IMO. But who has a lot of discretionary income and will soon have a lot of discretionary time on their hands? Retiring baby boomers! Hollywood will either recognize this and change course or it will crash and burn as a famous director/producer type recently opined. Personally, I have faith they'll figure things out but I think it's going to take a while. In the mean time, school begins in a couple of days so adolescent males will have other things to occupy their spare time besides summer blockbuster action movies. Hopefully, Hollywood knows this.

      ...just offering an opinion as to why "...blockbusters seem to suck so profoundly." You don't have to agree but if you consider differing opinions or alternate views to be a form of "threadjacking", what can I say? Au revoir!
