    Why is only Hollywood being blamed for this?

    It’s clearly what most of the audiences wanted too.

    The way it has come to this is because all the original movies (which there are still plenty of) have had barely any marketing behind them.

    Because at some point in time, studio executives just came to a conclusion that the general audience won’t see something in cinema unless it’s tied to something they’re already familiar with.

    The only original movies from the past 10-or-so years that were well-marketed – **that aren’t by Nolan, by Tarantino (‘cuz those have been household names for 20+ years), or animated (‘cuz that’s also kinda cheating)** – are *Baby Driver* and *Knives Out.* And the latter got steam only because its director had just previously made the most “cHiLdHoOd-RuIniNg” movie of all time.

    Some other good original movies of recent years are *Greenland, Blink Twice,* EEAAO, *Longlegs,* *The Creator,* *La La Land, Civil War, Don’t Look Up, Dog,* etc.

    I have to personally recommend them all, because the people in charge of marketing them did the lousiest job possible doing so.

    Long story short, we need more **heavily marketed** original movies.

  3. We are to blame. We only watch safe , unoriginal shit – so that’s what we train them to serve to us. The public is super … super “simple”
