More evidence of the intellectual bankruptcy of U.S. TV & movie “entertainment” moguls. The fun, original stuff appears to have been ceded to alternative producers from other countries and is not even appearing on broadcast TV anymore; we’re finishing up the first 3 seasons of “Lillyhammer” right now.
True. True. US Studios expect every movie to be a blockbuster so they mandate that movies “appeal to everyone”. They end up with “Annie” and “Mamma Mia” and comic book movies and yet another PG knockoff of “Diehard” or “Star Trek” and on and on and zzzzzz........
