The reason that I care about this difference is that Hollywood stops making good films because of these blockbusters. They aren't that good. As to all the people who buy tickets and popcorn, PT Barnum had that explanation.

it is easy to entertain. However, its the money being spent on these movies and concessions which springs the quote. If you don't give a crap about the quality of what you watch, fine. There are some that do.
I think you're delusional to think that doing away with "blockbusters" would result in more "artistic" films being made.

Compare the last few decades and tell me how much good art is being made now by Hollywood. Almost the only sources for plot driven movies are foreign or independents.
I don't care. I see what I like and ignore the rest. It doesn't matter to me what what type of film others like or don't like. I don't consider someone a fool for liking a film a I don't care for. I don't consider myself a fool for liking something that doesn't meet someone's artistic standard.

First you say that blockbusters don't affect the quality of film and then you say you don't care whether quality films are being made. Do you actually have a point? If you don't care about the quality of film and are happy with popcorn movies, fine. Own that position and stop trying to make other points which you apparently don't even believe.
Whatever you say. Who am I to argue with a self-appointed arbiter of quality and judge of art?
