I agree with her to a point on this.

But I will say the comparison with fracking, though, is ridiculous.

The industry makes what makes money. Do a couple blockbusters, then do an artsy piece.

I guess I figure there’s room for everything in the entertainment/movie business. There are superhero movies, romantic comedies, serious sci fi, serious dramas, etc.

In the history of TV, we have had family sitcoms, crime dramas such as police shows, variety shows, screwball comedies such as Gilligan’s Island.....

If Hollywood put more serious dramatic movies and TV shows out there, would as many watch, as watch the superhero type movies?

I bet it’s a balancing act, as far as the business end of the entertainment industry, and the “artistic” end of things.

“I agree with her to a point on this.”

She’s correct on the crappy state of film, she’s goofy in trying to compare it to fracking.

You and me both

Super heroes are politically correct engineering

And it gives ever feminized earning class males a projection of power they o longer have

Women as a super hero actually are better than men

And so forth

I won’t watch that crap

I don’t like her but she does have a point.

I bet it is difficult to get good movies made with tv shows being so good and so much better to watch. Even watching films is better at home. Better bathroom breaks, better snacks, cleaner (hopefully). Going to a movie theater where you don’t have the comfort and control is really only for people who aren’t comfortable with screen entertainment at home. Maybe people who are not too personally acquainted on dates. Young kids in groups who don’t want to be under mom’s watchful eye. Everyone else would have more fun in someone’s home.
