Re: Good Hollywood movies/what happened?

What happened was the stakes were raised after the invention of the planned blockbuster after the original Star Wars release. The studios wanted to get in on that money. They resorted to formulas and test screenings to finish their movies. The costs of movies went through the roof with the rise in A list actors' salaries. That drove the stakes of box office success even higher. the result was a higher percentage of formula blocjbusters being produced. The mistaken assumption I see here and on this forum is that all Hollywood movies have been afflicted by this movement in hollywood film making. That just isn't so.
