This is a pretty bad stretch, although the early aughts were bad as well. If La La Land is the best this year, that's fricking sad.

Most of the major studios are seemingly either disconnected from or disinterested in the rest of America. They have gotten to where the biggest projects are too formulated, and the smaller ones feature huge names and are all aiming to win at Cannes.

2 things


1. La La Land was terrific

2. I read last year that movies are shifting to a younger audience now because thats where the money is. Said the big blockbusters are either animated or comic book movies. Thats why the big actors are migrating to TV. Look at the actors that have done shows on AMC, FX, HBO, Showtime, and now Netflix and Amazon. I think its the future and you will even see more straight to Netflix and HBO small budget movies

I'm not a big fan of musicals, but I simply disagree

Regarding the OP, I think the failures of hollywoods big budgeted/advertised movies make things look at lot worse. There are still really good movies to see, they just don't happen to be the ones we see during commercial scenes every 6 minutes

Early aughts were pretty good.

Amelie and well known directors today making earlier films.

And Spiderman...kicking off comic book buzz and item for the next 20 years.

Agree with this. La La Land is a decent movie. I like Gosling and Emma Stone as characters in the production and as actors in general. But compared to classical musicals like Singing In The Rain, La La Land is pretty much amateur hour. I love this scene with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in Pick Yourself Up: Pick Yourself Up
