Bullcrap! We all know that since all the attention brought about by harveee winestain's debacle, if you can't assault the babes at sundance, why go.

It’s a dying industry, and currently radioactive as well.

Meh, all the movies are about gay cowboys eating pudding, anyway.

Cable and streaming TV have left movies in the dust.

Preachy, politically correct films are box office poison.

I vaguely recall some Orson Welles quote about an Italian director from (I think) the 1950s. It was something like this,

"I watched the woman on screen walk away from the camera up a long straight street going over the hill. And I said, 'Surely this director won't film her walking all the way up that hill' But he did! The whole street! It was endless! And then he let the camera linger on the empty street after she was over the hill! Only this director would do such thing. No one else would dare."

Some people like slow movies. Most do not.

Having produced a crap product for the last 30 years, sold by a group openly hostile to its consumers, and demonstrating a remarkable lack of creativity, Hollow-wood can’t be too surprised that audiences are staying away in legions.

This is the film I’m interested in.

My son did theater with the director in a private Christian high school.

It’s fun seeing kids make something of themselves. He came back and spoke at my daughters’ graduation, and it was a great graduation speech. My mom was really impressed. We both talk about how much better their speaker was compared to my son’’s college speaker.

I watched about 30 movie trailers a couple of days ago.

I wouldn’t pay money to see any of them.

Movies today are like old Army Training films ,LOL

Sundance Movie Festival is, and always has been, nothing but a leftist circle-jerk.

[txrefugee]

Have they finally run out of remakes? Hollywood has been out of good ideas for years.

[DakotaGator]

...buyers complained that the movies in this year’s lineup were chronically weak, leaving them underwhelmed and frequently annoyed.

Gee. How about that?! Maybe the ultimate buyers, movie ticket purchasers, think the same about all the SJW PC garbage being put into theaters.

[RayChuang88]

The problem is that Sundance has become the worst of the cultural bubble defined by the entertainment industry based in New York City and Los Angeles. No wonder why even Hollywood would rather do TV series for Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video instead.

Awful,” was the frank assessment of one studio executive. “Boring,” was the takeaway of another. “Who are these movies for?” griped an influential distributor

I have made the very same comments over the last few years. A lot of the time, I don't go to the movies anymore because I never see anything that they are showing that I am at all interested in.

[Dr. Thorne]

Boring, slow-moving, self-indulgent crap produced by preening Leftist no-talents.

But, enough about the Grammys.

Modern technology has opened film making to people who are not motivated by the two great motivators of the past: 1. Actual artistry or 2. Box-office revenues.

Most modern independent films are ultimately political and, therefore, ultimately stupid since they tend to be made by non-creative, humorless drones who have been told what to think their entire lives.
