re: Why is it so difficult for Hollywood to make good movies?

Five movies a year isn't really a great track record for original and entertaining product. And one was a foreign film, so four movies.

Well clearly nothing is going to make you happy then, proceed with your bitch fest. Hopefully a movie gets made to your quality soon

Did you want him to go through every single movie released in 2019?

There are hundreds of movies made each year these days. You can find pretty much any kind of movie to watch without even getting up off the couch now. It's the same thing when people complain about music. There is more music being made and released now than ever before. If you can't find good stuff in this era it's on you.

Theaters are going to release big arse special effects flicks b/c that's what makes money. Nobody is going to the theaters to see a small indie movie anymore. If it's not a movie full of special effects and crazy action it's just not worth driving out to the theater, spending $15 a ticket, even more on snacks, dealing with jackasses who have phones brighter than the sun who are texting the entire time, and having to miss parts if you need to get up to go to the bathroom. You can watch all that new original stuff at home for a fraction of the cost with zero of the bullshite involved.

I say all that as a person who absolutely prefers to see a movie on the big screen. However, if I'm seeing a movie like Wind River, Midsommar, or Jojo Rabbit? As much as seeing it on a gargantuan screen is a better viewing experience when you add in all that other shite I'm going to watch it at home 100% of the time. Most people have decided to do the same.

The only movies that can still draw big crowds tend to be the kind that do things your typical home theater can't compete with.
