[QUOTE="UngainlyTitan, post: 8571174, member: 28487"] A couple of points occur to me: One should not make a premise on a forum thread solely by reference to a to a video or other external reference. At least put enough into the post to state a premise, they by all means add external support. Second; Sturgeon's Law applies but there have been decent, dare I say even good movies made in recent times. Many of the block busters have been entertaining, some even good. There have a fair share of flops but that has always been the way. The past seems better than it was because for the most part we do not remember the crap. This reminds me of watching reruns of the "Old Grey Whistle Test" in the eighties? A pretty acclaimed music show on the BBC from the sixties/Seventies and you know what most of the bands were crap. We just remember the ones that became famous. Directors writing script is neither here nor there, they have always written scripts to varying degrees of success. Some famous script writers have written some clangers also. If there was an actual magic formula we would have discovered it by now. Although MCU seems to be getting close. [/QUOTE]
