Apparently, the overall quality of films has been going downhill for two decades….
The quality of films seems to have deteriorated in the last 20 years, a panel of producers and directors said during a salute to American filmmaking in the 1970s.
”It was a different time in the 1970s. Movies didn’t have to make as much money,” director and producer Sydney Pollack said.
But… it’s the American public’s fault of course! Pollack claims that due to “short attention spans” you have to get the “clothes off” or the “gun out” fast or you lose that audience interest.
Is this sort of like the way that the Recording Industry’s decrease in revenues is due to file-sharing and not to a poor economy or output of crummy cookie-cutter music?
