***For you to condemn over 90% of the movies produced by Hollywood is just silly. Come on, there are lots of very good movies made ranging from adventure-filled and fun (The Mummy remake) to sentimental (Titanic) to comedic (The Muse) to traditional/heroic (Saving Private Ryan).Yep. All of these I put in the trash category. So sue me. At best they are one notch below mediocre.
***And there are even some excellent quasi-documentaries produced by the likes of HBO! (From the Earth to the Moon series comes immediately to mind).
Remember, I have reserved that 2% for decent stuff. I loved the HBO's "barbarians at the gate".
***Give me a break.Given. Take a break.
***If you can't find a wide variety of enjoyment of excellent entertainment from movies released, I'm saddened for you.
Don't be. There are plenty of good movies out there that I have not seen yet. I am afraid my life is too short. They usually are not from Hollywood, though. SOme are.
***Yes, there are lots of turkeys as well, but this is like condemning all music because of The Beastie Boys or Spice Girls (sorry to the BB and SG fans, but you know what I mean).
No, this is like condemning The Beastie Boys.
I presume you are NOT equating Hollywood with world movie production, or are you? Hollywood produces probably 80% of world movies, but only 1 or 2% of good movies. Their fault, not mine.
Back to watching good movies.
