The writers haven't gone anywhere. Writers don't green-light and finance projects. It's the studio execs that have lost their imagination. It's all about franchises and merchandising. Turning out the same, insipid formula movies ad nauseum. Aliens threatening earth and fill-in-the-blank comic books guys save the day; an idiot stumbles round Manhattan (ever noticed how, in the movies, everyone lives in New York?) looking for Mr.Right with her smat-ass, spunky best friend; Books written for 12 year olds turned into trilogies; Some lunatic catches and hacks up people for the hell of it. Again, and again and again. And, people keep lining up. Small wonder that's what the studios churn out as fast as they can.
I've abandoned the multi-plex for the most part, sticking with small, independent films. It's like having a fine meal compared to the fast food, mostly crap offered by the big studios.
