As with pop music & TV, the big blockbuster type films do seem to have become immensely dumbed down and designed just to extract money from 9 year olds.
As I get older there do seem to be few properly original or interesting ideas that appeal to me.
How much of this is because I’m older and therefore have ‘seen it all before’, or has the quality of films genuinely deteriorated over the last 30 years?
Maybe the film studios should concentrate on making fewer better films.
Having said all that, I enjoy watching Top Gear (& the repeats), so clearly I’m not looking for intellectual viewing 🙂
