Here's my opinion, the average motion picture made these days is even less interesting than the most vapid 1940's vintage musical. (Don't even get me started on what passes for Drama). A lot of the current crap is Science Fiction, that's full of "howlers", (look it up if you're really interested), with many bad ideas recycled from the 1950s. Why would I want to watch form overpower substance at high prices?
