Frankly I could care less. What started out as a nice escapism action-adventure movie ended up morphing into a huge business on one hand and then birthing a cult that borders on the ridiculous.

The last 8 years have seen a explosion of Comic book, fantasy fueled CGI films. I have just about gotten to the point of burnout with this stuff. Star Wars and Star Trek included.

I really can't get excited about any more of them, the ones coming out, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Justice League just are not that exciting to me. And I am tired of remakes and the such. I just haven't seen anything that compelling to really want to see. By the way I saw Fate of the Furious and frankly I think they have gone as far as they can take that franchise. They probably should have stopped at Furious 7 when Paul Walker died. That's my worthless two cents worth.

Wasn’t it in the late 19th Century that scientists said everything that will ever be invented has already been? Well, all the story lines have all been invented now. There is nothing new going on in movies. Really, there is nothing new that has been invented in quite some time. Everything is an improvement of something already invented, but nothing new in a very long time. Every new convenience brought to us for 70 years or so, we could do without.
