Eh, I have to mostly disagree with this guy. Yeah, there are certain great films that we’d never see get made today. And that’s a shame. But I reject the argument that the dominance of lighter fare itself is anything new. Go all the way back to the 30’s and 40’s, and look at how many Charlie Chan, Boston Blackie, and Dagwood and Blondie movies they made. Dozens. None of those films were terribly deep, but they were entertaining (well, except for those horrid Blondie movies, LOL). Same goes with the B-monster movies of the 50’s, and so on.
Hey! I “LOVE” those old Blondie movies!
