In Reply to: Is Hollywood lacking good actors or good directors? posted by mvwine on February 11, 2002 at 07:37:48:

Hollywood is an exceptionally well-run factory.

You say Al Pacino overacting? I'd say just the right amount to guarantee the commercial success - that is why he is hired. Scent of a Woman was another American feel-good joke, that with the 'blind race' scene - VERY very American. If you have not seen the original film with Vittorio Gassman (same title) - the Italian one, it had none of that Hollywood crap and was much more involving, not too good or strong, but certainly none of that southern CA stench.

So you need to blame the viewers first. Sure, Hollywood sets the tone, but it also constantly checks the reaction. People run in droves to see another Titanic - and another Titanic they get. People pay to see Julia Roberts and George Clooney - and guess who's gonna be in the next film?

If no one went to see the next piece of trash, then Hollywood would turn around quickly. Its directors are professional, editors and cameramen first rate, there are many fine actors, I doubt there is any shortage of original scripts.

So what's missing from that equation?

Right... the viewers.
