Well no one will ever ask her to be in one.
But most people have been saying this for years.
Even superhero lovers are getting a little sick and tired of the genre and same blueprint, rinse and repeat. They lack imagination and the novelty has long worn off.

Hollywood is so obsessed with spending $200 million dollars on a movie in hopes of making $800 million that they are ignoring the $30 million movie that could make $100 million. Less profit, but less risk too. They are trying to hit a homerun every time. Nothing wrong with singles and doubles.

The superhero movies do suck arse. However I just do my part in the free market and don't watch them, hoping they go away. Jodie just bitter and super hero fan boys are butt hurt.

I'm sure she'd have a different take on it if she were getting those roles.
We saw Elysium, Jodie. Hard pass.

They are like the auto industry.
Playing it safe. Nothing unique or original in design of the car so you can't be sued for a novelty gone wrong.
Movie business is like that - everything is industry standard...carbon copy.
Hollywood has quite a contempt for their audience...thinking we're all just mindless baboons.
And in this era where they are losing movie-goers left and right...they want to play it safe even more - and are catering soley to the one demographic that their research shows is still going to the movies.

Stop putting out nothing but political garbage.

I agree with her, but this is what people want and it does extend your dollar a little bit more.
I would much prefer spend $10 to watch a 3 hour Popcorn Extravaganza, then to spend the same amount of money to watch an hour and a half Oscar bait.
Those smaller movies I can hit up the red box or just stream at home.

Well shite Jodie. Its all just ENTERTAINMENT!!
Oh wait, you actually think that when you play pretend, you have something important that needs to be said. Honey, when my 2 year old plays pretend in her Fischer Price kitchen, I'm not eating that. No matter how wonderful she pretends that mashed up play-do is

Her analogy is shite, but her general premise is solid.

a classic example of a liberal who can't stand when people make choices she doesn't approve of`

She does have a point. The summer blockbuster has basically become the comic book movie. And the Christmas event movie has become your generic franchise film in the form of James Bond, Star Wars, or DCEU/MCU.
If you want originality you have to wait for the small, independent Oscar bait films to come to you in January after two months of limited release in New York and Los Angeles.

Summer blockbusters used to be Raiders, Jaws, Jurassic Park, Top Gun, Terminator 2, Ghostbusters, Back to the Future, Gladiator.
Now they are Marvel, DC and Pixar or other animation.
You go to the movies, you don't see a person over 30 half the time.
Cinema experience has transformed to a limited experience for a specific consumer.
Hollywood will still make a wide range of movies - especially independants but that's all for DVD home theater.
The Cinema experience has devolved into just movies that maybe people only want to see on the big screen...the big loud superhero.

Perhaps we've figured that out. Hollywood can still make movies for other mediums like Netflix, and the big special effects movies can be at the theater. I think those movies fit the idea of large audiences, perhaps comedies do as well, more than some serious drama piece.
I think this is the key. If it’s a movie that doesn’t seem like I need to see it in a theater than I figure I’ll catch it on Netflix, Prime, etc.

that is the key
there isn't much of a point to waste money on a "movie theater experience" for like 95% of movies
and that's fine, b/c these blockbusters allow the funding for the artsy/good movies to continue
without that fat Marvel cash flowing in, Hollywood implodes and we lose the vast majority of studio productions AND theaters
Foster wants a world where artsy/good movies dominate theaters and that's just, literally, retarded

I think it's a weak argument. Good movies are still being made, people just aren't showing up to watch them. That's not Marvel or DCs fault.
this is what she's REALLY mad at. it's not the movies as much as the people supporting these movies
