And it's one reason why I don't go to a lot of movies - they're more and more dominated by corporate values and fiscal concerns as opposed to cinematic concerns.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The thing about movies these days is that the commerce end of it is so inflated and financiers are just expecting this enormous return on their investment.
Movies are somewhat diminished by blockbusters, which are great, but there's not enough choice.
A lot of things and a lot of money is involved in a movie. It is very upsetting when a movie doesn't fare well at the box-office.
Movie studios are owned by giant corporations. They care about money; they don't care about movies.
The one thing I am very strict about is that I don't like spending a lot of money on movies because the more money you spend, I think the worse that they get.
You know, going to the movies has always been recession-proof. It's fairly cheap entertainment; it's classic escapism.
A lot of Hollywood films tend to be bloated, bombastic, loud. At the same time, I do like the infrastructure of making a blockbuster; it's like having a big train set.
Unfortunately, overall, movies are a conglomerate. People buy and sell people in this business, which can get really ugly.
There are a lot of things that come to bear on movies now that I don't think are good for movies. They're trying to appeal to the biggest demographic and, when they do that, you sometimes flatten out.
I'm not usually attracted to big-budget American films.
