I think it's pretty simple. People post about what interests them. Less people are interested in great cinema. Most people just want mindless entertainment (myself included).

In terms of what movies get made now, I wonder if the desire to get big revenue numbers overseas, especially in China, has led to the “mindless” trend where simple good vs evil themes translate to any culture? Movies that are based on some subtle American or Western civilization aspect might not pull in the dollars overseas.

But why?

Where is this great cinema you speak of?
If there are new movies being made that are great, i think people still want to watch them. I just haven't seen many that even rise to the level of good.
