Home Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

You're probably right...

It all comes down to "Lowest Common Denominator". Mass-market stuff always becomes crap, even if it didn't start out that way. But American blockbusters usually do well abroad also, do they not? So this must not be a strictly American phonomena. Maybe Hollywood turns out so much crap that it sates the world's appetite for crap, so non-American filmmakers can concentrate on more quality work.

Of course, I'm not trying to say American film is NEVER good, or Non-American film is ALWAYS good, it just seems to be the trend.

Another thing that made me think of this Actor/Director thing was an interview with Woody in which he said he would love to have big-name actors such as Cruise, Harrison Ford, et al in his movies, he just couldn't afford them. That surprised me.
