> just about every new movie that comes out is predictable and boring. Complaining about the lack of good new "x" (be it movies, music, books, etc.) is more a reflection of the complainer than of reality. Assuming you live in the US, around 800 new movies are released every year in theaters alone. If we include movies that go directly to streaming, and international movies that don't release in the US due to distribution rights issues (or just lack of interest), we are well in the thousands. So, unless you did watch those 800 movies, you lack the authority and grasp on reality to claim "just about every new movie that comes out is predictable and boring". Again, the sentence is a reflection of your tastes and habits of media consumption (and of course of those of the general society in which you live), not of reality. No offense intended. The miniaturization and democratization of technology has made extremely affordable and easy the creation of new movies and music. There are lots of new garbage, of course, but just about anyone in a Western country can create a masterpiece. The prime example is Kevin Smith financing Clerks with his credit card. |
