and poor writing. In the past, we had lots of mega-stars and good writing.
Something besides the stars is influencing the poor writing. I'd say it's trying to skimp, even with stars on-board. Or perhaps it's like representational painting, i.e. it takes hands-on mentoring. Whatever the reason, most scripts are juvenile. Perhaps the reason so many Americans don't notice is that they've never read anything but crap.
