Every year the films put out by the big studios seem to get a little worse. In their attempt to blandly appeal to everyone, they appeal to no one; in their desire to offend no one, their vapidity offends everyone. We are increasingly treated to the same plots, characters, and cinematography repeated ad nauseam in what claim to be different films. Even the idea that every “new” production is a remake, sequel, or prequel has become cliché.

The nadir of Hollywood?
