[QUOTE="Guest 7034872, post: 8871785"] [LIST=1] [*]America is predominantly a nation of people who no longer read books. [*]Weak readers are incompetent writers. [/LIST] So from where are Hollywood's scripts to come? That's the problem I've seen, anyway: skilled actors are right there and ready to go, as are cinematographers, set designers, and directors. But if there's no one around who knows how to tell a proper story (or at least those who do cannot get an audience with the media powers that be because their skills and ideas are not [I]en vogue[/I]), then the resulting movie will stink. And if stinky movies still consistently make money and if most producers in town are of the cynical opinion that the general public is too stupid to want anything better anyway, then there'll be a lot of stinky movies. Throw in a few morally impatient ideologues who take offense at any story that does not pander to their political sentiments, and you've got a good picture of Hollywood today. [/QUOTE]
