Hollywood stopped being creative a decade or so ago. Can't wait for the remakes of ET, Jaws, and Titanic.

We're well-past peak hollywood faux art-house. (2000s were so good with Kaufman, Tarantino, P. Anderson & and W. Anderson, the Coen Bros, and all the rest getting big budgets). I blame Asians' love of giant monsters, not that there's anything wrong with that.
But you can't keep a good art form down. You just have to dig a little deeper.
And thank goodness The Revenant didn't tank. That would not have helped. Tarantino keeps doing his thing and PT Anderson doesn't need that big a budget and Wes Andeson keeps on doing his thing.
Finally, if you didn't see it...
So, things really aren't that bad in Hollywood...t's just that the good stuff gets dwarfed and underfinanced and underwatched (damn you golden age of television). And if you want to go true 'indie' that's waiting for you too:

Finally got around to watching “Okja” on Netflix. Made by Bong Joon-ho, the guy who made snowpiercer (which is incredibly by the way). It was a beautiful film. Performances were great all around, and I particularly liked Jake Gyllenhaal, he was hilarious. Highly recommended!

i understand the remaking of movies, but i don't like it. some of these were done so well, and that is why they lived for near 100 years.
next year steam boat willie is being remade and mickey goes ape shit and murders everyone on the ship and yells "toot toot mutherfuckers" just before the fin sign comes up. should be new and edgy for the modern world.

Took my daughter to see the new Grinch movie. Thought it would be terrible but it was actually pretty good. Had a different enough spin on it than the previous versions, was funny throughout, and although the emotional depth was a little shallow, it worked better overall than I was expecting.
