If you're fast approaching 50 like I am and watched tens of thousands of movies, it's very hard to find stuff that's actually original.

There's an overabundance of "contento", and very few truly worthwile stories, I agree.

Which IMO has been made worse through streaming, because movies don't need to go to the process of "would this even be a worthwile movie to try and get even a small theatrical audience for"?

Simply because streamers are hungry for content, regardless of how or what it is. They just want more of those little thumbnail pics and trailers to present to potential new subscribers.

And if possible, they want stars in those trailers.
