Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Re: The audience did

I think we get what we deserve, goes for films, fashion, cars, government. I am not by the remotest stretch a film expert or historian, but as I recall it the Hollywood machine went arwy somewhere around Star Wars and Raiders of Lost Ark and MTV. Both great films for their uniqueness, size, and fun. Somewhere around there, big, loud, fast, flashy took priority over clever thoughtful writing. We are still sinking into the abyss.

Audiences made it quite clear what they wanted, and Hollywood kept making it. Hollywood is not about art, Hollywood is about money. Goal #1 MAKE MONEY. If they are forced to make trash to make big bucks they will make big trash, if forced to make art to make big bucks they will do that. Do not attend the next big trashy film, don't watch Cops, Survivor, Big Brother, American Idol. Write letters and name names of types of films you want to see. Force them to find a new Hitchcock, or Walt Disney, or Billy Wilder. Tell them writers over 22 are not washed up.
