Seriously, I’m fed up of hearing about how Hollywood doesn’t take risks anymore. It’s pretty much been like that since the 80’s, it’s been like this my entire life, I don’t know why people are acting like they’ve only just woken up and smelt the coffee now. You are all part of the problem, stop acting like films begin with superheroes and end with Star Wars, stop being complicit in your own navel gazing and go and support some original projects, independent films and world cinema and make a point to show there’s some interest in new shit.

I love common sense. Thank you.
Most of the complainers will talk incessantly about how Hollywood doesn't make a certain kind of movie anymore and then skips every single one of the kinds of movies until the new Avengers movie comes out.
The audience is more of a problem than the Hollywood system itself is.
And yeah, it may be tough to get movies made these days, but what the **** is a studio supposed to do when audiences don't show up for The Nice Guys (for example)? Or Motherless Brooklyn. At least support the kind of movie you whine about wanting so badly.
I'm proud to have supported movies like The Nice Guys, Overlord, Edge of Tomorrow, Bad Times at the El Royale and International pics such as The Square. So when I complain about wanting more of a certain kind of movie it's because I wanna actually see it in theaters, not for the sake of complaining. If you have no interest in supporting a certain kind of movie, at least shut up.
Mackie does have a point. But the audience is part of the problem.
