... they wouldn’t know a good movie if it kicked them in the shins.
Your self-righteous arrogance has just negated everything else you said before Mr. Hollywood apologist.

Get over yourself. I was reacting to the people howling that Hollywood hasn’t made a good movie in 20 years. Nonsense. We agree that “Hollywood” has a lot of problems. The major studios are run by cowards terrified by twitter mobs, and many of the executives are ideologically and morally corrupt themselves. But that said, a lot of good movies are still being made. Most movies do NOT involve nudity and explicit sex scenes. Most movies do NOT involve woke hysterics. There are a lot of people in the film industry who want to make honest movies, and movies like the ones I’ve listed are quite conservative in perspective and tone, whatever the personal politics of the filmmakers. This is because truth will out if filmmakers tell honest stories, and many filmmakers want to do precisely this. People who don’t understand this simply don’t know what they are talking about.

How many of the movies that I suggested have you actually seen? If you’ve not seen them, that’s ok. The fact that most of these movies were not highly publicized is part of the problem. Watch a few trailers and read a few reviews before you overreact.

My point is simply that we should support the good films when we find them. Mindless howling that there are no good films is ignorant and counterproductive.
