We get movies that are directed towards the lowest common denominator, driven completely by marketing. Quick and easy buck for the investors. Mild sedative for everyone else.
I completely agree. I rarely go to the theaters anymore. One because I can't afford because of college, and two because most of the movies look stupid. I usually see a movie a year after it premiers when it comes to DVD and I can get it from netflix. However, there are movies that I would like to see in the theater, but don't get the chance, Pirates of the Caribbean comes to mind. I will see the next one this Friday (July 7), though.

I think that "post Brokeback Mountain" the Lord of the Rings movies should be remade to emphasize the latent homosexuality between Frodo and Sam
