Business is doubtless changing. Not necessariy for the better, either.

I find myself far from interested in MOST of what Hollyweird is putting out. Yawn. Another (fill in blank) which is a remake, derivative, Unoriginal, or like Psycho, a SCENE FOR SCENE remake of the original.
People got All Spun Up about 'The Shape Of Water', which, IMO was a sequel to 'The Creature From The Black Lagoon'.......

And yes, Popcorn is COMMODITY CHEAP and soda a tasty sugar delivery system. I'll slip a Hersey Bar in my Manbag before venturing out TO one of those movies.

I DID enjoy 'Knives Out' and also later, JoJo Rabbit, which i thought terrific. 1917 was totally unexpected and also Very Good.

Cinematography and Star Wars? Like Cuisine and Burger King. Want some cinematography?
Find a copy of 'The Emerald Forest' or 'Excalibur' both by John Borman at the peak of his powers.
Or some of the real powerhouse scenes in a Hitchcock film.
Other notable efforts include 'Like Water For Chocolate' or even Apocalypto.
Too much is never enough
