There was nothing "new" to begin with, in the beginning.
Everything, including "art", is always derivitive of something.
Film is, first and only, a business, so making The Deal and "playing it safe", is the basis of making films....even socalled "independent films"...whatever they are. All "independents" want to do, is to make Deals and be picked-up.
The only thing new to be developed is one of Adam Sandler's recent film...ahem...efforts, that is solely predicated on commercially sponsored "tie-ins". And even that isn't new.
Tv doesn't help, it only, further, trivializes the creative process.
So we turn-off that part of our brain process, and suck it up, and eat our popcorn....or taco chips and cheese, and drink our double late'.
Clint knows they are dead. But, you go on making films. Because that's what he does.
