How can Hollywood make or market films to a country they don't even know? I used to go to the movies on a regular basis, but now the movies are so far removed from anything I know or love that it's a waste of time and money.

Entertainers aren't entertaining anymore, they're a bunch of shrews lecturing us about how to live our lives, they portray people who's values are totally foreign to us, they pretend to be a people they don't understand. It's just not cutting it anymore.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding was a hit because Americans related to it, understood it, and found it refreshing. It cost a paltry amount, marketing was word of mouth, and I could watch it a dozen times and still laugh.

Studios better wise up.

Before MBFGW, what was the last movie you loved? The last one you hated? Just curious.
