DarkI is totally right about this - - - its the sad state of current hollywood.

back in the studio days - 30s-40s, the big studio chiefs wanted money - but they also wanted to outdo each other - bigger, better, more awards, more acclaim - so they'd take big risks and let directors push the envelope. then the studios collapsed and in the 60s and 70s there was such a loose concept of 'cinema' that all kinds of interesting directors emerged to create provocative indie films (mainstream like Kubrick, scorsese, coppola, and in horror, romero, craven, carpenter, etc.) But now the movies are run by mega-corporations who care only about share prices. . . a sad state of affairs, enough technical skill to render anyone's dream vividly real - but no one is dreaming any more.
