***Popular culture--particularly Hollywood--is capable of cranking out vast amounts of soulless, emotionless garbage, but amongst the dregs there is still the occasional film that celebrates writing, acting, directing, editing, music, etc. Popular culture--particularly Hollywood--is capable of cranking out vast amounts of soulless, emotionless garbage, but amongst the dregs there is still the occasional film that celebrates writing, acting, directing, editing, music, etc.***

Like it or not, but the proportion of garbage to good work in Hollywood production has changed dramatically over the decades. Therefore, while we LOVE and watch as many good old Hollywood films as we can locate (difficult task...), I simply refuse to waste my time digging through the piles of current garbage. Life is too short. I would rather spend it watching good films.

I do read the discussions of current films here, and I sometimes follow the recommendations of those participants, whose opinions I value, but the modern pickings among the US production are incredibly slim. :)
