Hollywood in its last days
Hollywood’s diminution
arrives as its creativity leaves the scene. Revivals, reboots and sequels are
the mainstay of this town’s current revenue stream. Faltering at the box
office this summer ticket sales have slowed to a spurt of prior years. This
town is full of mimicry not originality presently. Great directors need great
scripts not redundancy that is currently being offered them. Entertainment
magazines are fraught with previews of duplicates and triplicates of past
titles. Star Wars has traveled further than any sequence of cinema
presentations in history. Time to put his war horse to bed permanently. Jurassic
Park has lived longer than the dinosaurs of old. This fossil too should find a
museum for its aging bones. I enjoy a good flick like any other consumer
looking for a few hours of suspended disbelief. Yet I will not spend my few
quarters on titles that have been regurgitated more than a ruminant chews its
curd.
