Oh, America. Don’t you wish you could sometimes just hop in Doc Brown‘s DeLorean and go back to when the silver screen was saturated with magical creativity? If I’m going to spend 10.5 BILLION dollars going to a movie in theaters nowadays, it’s gotta be good. But it’s so hard to tell what’s going to be decent anymore. Thank gawd for Rotten Tomatoes for some guiding light, but even the tomato smashers don’t always get it right.
Maybe we’re just spoiled? Maybe we should just expect all movies to be awful and then occasionally be semi-pleasantly surprised? That’s the mentality I’ve tried to have as of late – kind of bleak, but what can you do when the imagination of Hollywood’s gone to shit Bleepsville.
This is a graphic I TOTALLY stole from Short of the Week. It’s kind of depressing, but totally true.
