What the hell has happened to Hollywood?

Saw "North by Northwest" again last night. Damn! it never fails to impress. One of my favorite films. It has action, suspense, sex (at least implied). And it's damn good! Why can't Hollywood do a big film like this anymore? People wouldn't watch it? We don't have actors like Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint, James Mason, Martin Landau (although he's still around)? Dearth of directors? I don't know, but it's depressing. Oh well, we still have video to watch the old gems like these.

Another somewhat related note - Isn't it about time that we let Foreign Films compete for Best Picture? I mean do away with the "Foreign Film" category and consider the Oscars a global event. Let's see - "A Beautiful Mind" or "Amelie" - a tough choice, NOT!

Rant over, blood pressure lowering.....

I gave at the office!
