Seth Rogen's Apple TV show The Studio has been excruciating to watch, truly embarrassing, but this article uses it to point out the problem with movies today, YOU:
What’s too rarely acknowledged in both of these scenarios is the fact that a Kool-Aid movie exists because an executive thinks people will go see it. And, quite often, they are proved right. If audiences truly supported blockbusters in the spirit of Kurosawa, executives would happily oblige. When critically acclaimed films languish, including “Mickey 17,” “Drop” and “Warfare,” and audiences flock to “A Minecraft Movie” to shout “Chicken Jockey!” at the screen, it’s hard to argue that Hollywood is doing anything other than giving you, the moviegoing public, what you want."But Xmastime", you say in the voice of Craig “Ironhead” Heyward from those soap commercials (RIP), “didn't you point this out over 18 years ago?"
Sigh. Yes I did, faithful readers, YES I did:
It’s never the smart, quiet thoughtful movies that you fuckers run to, it’s always some version of bombastic shoot-em up/cartoon/witchcraft with sluts crap that you run to dump your paycheck on. So quit being fucking hypocrites and acting like Hollywood is stopping you from leading your “wholesome, family-rich” lives; Hollywood is not turning your daughter into a New York walking poodle slut, but maybe your sitting in the basement jerking off to "Catwoman" 24 hours a day is. If you want Hollywood to change, then quit fucking paying to see these wastes of fucking celluloid and make Hollywood do what it dreads most: make a movie that doesn’t suck.
