I just want the return of the mid-budget drama.
I'm actually watching Conspiracy Theory right now. The 1997 movie with Mel Gibson and Julia Roberts. Looking it up on Wiki, it had a budget of $80 million.
No way in hell this movie gets made today. It'd be some straight to Netflix thing with b-list actors.

I don't know - good actors want to do these movies, even if only a break between their paycheck films. If they form collaborative groups, they can fund/release some of these themselves. Even if they don't "make" money, just break even with a streaming deal or whatever, they would be free of studio interference.
I can see guys like Ed Norton or Tom Hardy doing something like that. Or even in collaboration with Tarantino, Fincher, etc.
It can be done. It should be done. It would be liberating and remove studio (and Red China) influence that is crushing creativity in modern big budget filmmaking.

Conspiracy Theory is fun movie.
but in that regard, this last week i watched Greenland and Let Him Go. Neither were groundbreaking cinema, but i enjoyed both of them a good bit and they were a good bit better than straight to streaming movies i've seen recently.
