I'm as nerdy as the next sumbitch but comicbook movies dominating American cinema the last decade or so doesn't speak to the quality of the work. Or is it Americans are so dumbed down that now they are entertained by simple, non-complex things? It seems the general public would rather see things that go boom and bright lights vs. a great plot with great writing. Or they'll just remake someones shit and add cell phones and internet.
The only really good movies I consistently see are independent films and that's probably cause they have more creative freedom than some big studio would give them. Anyway, how do you see it from your side?
