This generally lines up with capitalist profit-seeking making everything worse, more vapid and bland. I agree with him largely. Mainstream shit is dumber and dumber. Doesn't mean great stuff stops getting made, it's just not part of the equation in these hollywood juggernaut board meetings.
Anecdotally I've had young adults burnt out by work and stress explicitly state they want easy brain dead shit to consume. Hard to argue with that honest perspective.
Agreed. It's really a bummer that "The Arts" (movies specifically) are so totally captured by MEGACORPS and Capital Vampires. I love supporting independent arts (again specifically movies), but it's an ceaseless uphill battle for anyone those people to make it and even harder to get in front of people. Even if the people would like it, it's just so damn difficult to get your art in front of people if you're operating outside of the ever encroach domain of the modern Robber Barons.
The whole game is fucked up, and it's fucked up because Hollywood (and of course Capitalism at large) made it that way. Art under capital sucks so much.
