Maybe start investing in new ideas?
This is what happens when financial minds start controlling creative spaces.
It’s like someone turned off the creative tap in these bigger studios about 15 years ago and decided they don’t need any more new ideas, just regurgitated old ones. Same goes for the bigger game studios and all their “remasters”.
Barely anyone in charge really cares about the craft, only safe investment returns based on historical data.
All in the name of the almighty profit.
How could that ever backfire?

Hey, like, I know the Hollywood execs will never read this, but the people that work with the people that work with the people that work with the Hollywood execs, please let them know what we the consumers want is not a rehash of an old franchise, but something new to salivate over.
Why are you guys ever learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the simple truth?

Too much slop nowadays. Streaming services brought forth the age of quantity over quality and it shows. The writing is bad, the acting is bad, and the CGI is poor and overused. All of this leads to my immersion being broken. I still have love for movies. Just not for what they're shoveling out these days.

Is it any good?

I'll know in a few hours after our showing! But so far reviews have been good

I liked it but it could have been shorter, if you liked his playthrough of the game I think you'll like the movie. The nothing happening scenes were too long and did not create tension.

The thing is, every now and then something interesting slips through the slop ... I really enjoyed Eenie Meanie for example, it was a bit weird, didn't really flow at all. But it was fun and different.

Yes, much like with music nowadays, you have to actively search for what is good. It's there, but there are so many other options they drown out the good stuff.

We need passion projects.
We need creatives that have a story they want to tell. Not a rehash or reimagining. Not a format change (animation to live action.)
We need stories that are engaging and not something creates to be half paid attention to with the plot retold multiple times on the dialogue.
We don't need the latest action comedy with as many witty one liners as possible. We don't need never ending sequels where the stakes keep growing and growing until they ultimate are saving the world, over and over again.
