If a movie isn't a hit right out of the gate, they drop it. Which means that the whole mainstream Hollywood product has been skewed toward violence and vulgar teen comedy.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's an entire industry focusing on young male viewers that want action and violence. They sell us something that isn't valid. They're selling films like a product.
It's only in relatively recent years that Hollywood became the playground of multinational corporations which regard movies and TV shows as a minor irritant to their overall activity.
Hollywood has the idea that movies have to be dumb. But especially movies for or about teenagers have to be really dumb!
I always thought the real violence in Hollywood isn't what's on the screen. It's what you have to do to raise the money.
I don't think movies are the reason why this violence exists, I think it's going to happen whether movies are there or not.
Between Twitter and Facebook, early word of mouth for a film can destroy it immediately or take something you've never heard of and make it a huge hit.
They are always very lax about putting restrictions on violence for children's movies, which I think is much more harrowing than sexuality for children.
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.
Violence has been a part of films since the beginning of time. It's been a form of entertainment.
I think with the success of, like, every summer there has been a couple R-rated comedies that have done so well; I think it is so nice to see that people are turning out to see these movies, and it doesn't seem to be as big a stigma with the studios anymore.
