Last good movie I saw was “Deadpool”.
They killed its future with “Deadpool 2” and all the PC nonsense.

Hoisted on their own petard.

Now, forward to television programming!

“Good, they have only produced crap for years.”

After a particularly harrowing event in my life a friend advised, “One closes and another door opens.” The movie industry is evolving. The reason practically everyone of my generation knew all the names of the big stars is they worked for the studio system. They were managed properties. (Incidentally, you’d never have seen one of them Tweeting or Facebooking anything that wasn’t scripted for them.)

The studio system collapsed and we ended up with a long series of remakes because movies are now so expensive no one would back something experimental or by an unknown author. That is what is going away, the traditional “blockbuster.” But the next evolution is already on the way. Recently a movie shot entirely by an iPhone got an award. This is a wonderful opportunity presented by the growth of technology.

Just like history specials are being supplanted by “The History Guy” on YouTube and Tim Pool is now getting an audience that sometimes exceeds that of traditional media. What comes next will probably be better and cheaper than what went away.

Quick quiz. Name ten actors. Chances are five of them will be from the old studio system and the other five have already come...and gone.

Aside from a few indie outliers and foreign movies hollywood has, indeed, produced nothing but crap. How many more comic book movies can anyone watch? I admit I enjoyed the two Christopher Nolan Batman movies (the third was garbage). But how long ago were those?
