Blow me, dude whatever you wanna say, movies have gone seriously downhill in the last 20 years.
It's no magical formula it's due to changing times. All you gotta do is look at the biggest grossing films of twenty years ago and compare em to now, major changes.
And don't go pretending I'm some elitist against making money, I like good old pop corn flicks just like anyone else, but no matter what you like there's been a decline.
Decline in what?
