    vincent d'onofrio, ted levine, toby jones. it helps when they keep casting coolio's favourite character actors in these parts. hopefully continues with the new one like they've got Bill Camp or Bruce Greenwood as some shitty congressman who's pro dinosaurs eating people or something.

     

    why aren't you listing the spall spawn

    My expert analysis is that this number is good and Top Gun: Maverick is doing well at the box office.

    This is the primary issue with the “just make a bunch of great movies” strategy. 
     

    Like, if that was on the table for a studios, certainly they would take it and be ecstatic. But historically that option tends to be… not actually an option.

     

    the studio big wigs sit in their offices all day and throw darts at a wall to decide which movies they will make good and which ones they will make bad

    Seriously though Hollywood has been struggling to make big budget movies good for over a decade. It's because they're so risk adverse and care about money before quality, without thought into the longterm.

     

    this is more just you ascribing your own sensibilities onto the current crop of blockbusters, many of which have been very well received both critically and financially (even if they don't meet your personal standards)

    i think it's more that it is actually very hard to make a great movie; too many moving parts to guarantee the process

     

    of course studios are super risk averse these days which doesn't help and holds back a lot of great stuff that would've been made in yesteryears but i think that's kind of a separate issue

    Also, if Hollywood learns anything from TGM, it’s that making QUALITY movies for the BIG SCREEN will pay off. Tight script, solid direction, good performances, etc. Make a good movie that is designed for the big screen, and you will reap the benefits.

     

    shaking up hollywood with the radical idea of making movies good
