So I thought The Creator was brilliant. I watched it in the cinema, thoroughly enjoyed it and was gobsmacked when I learned it’s budget was only $79 million. It looks better than some films I’ve seen that cost three times that.
But apparently, while it may make that back, it’s unlikely to even earn $100 million globally.
So the answer to the question of why Hollywood churns out the same shite over and over is that, currently, tragically, that is what the masses want to spend their money on.
And that makes me sad.
Just the other night I watched San Andreas with my wife.
It’s a mindless action movie, but I loved that moment. It was great just watching some over the top movie and laugh about it/ comment on it.
Serious movies need attention and silence. There is time for that, but nothing is better than joking around with my wife about some movie.
