Well well, the pinkos are back in Hollywood, only this time around they're actually unscrupulous capitalists.

If you like watching 150 million dollar effects extravaganzas, you can count on them to be watered down drivel tailored to appeal to the lowest common denominator of the global audience, because that's what they have to do to turn a buck, and they wouldn't exist otherwise. It's been that way for a while.

There's nothing stopping Hollywood from making 30 mollion dollar films that need only see a return at the domestic box office, it happens often enough, and television is in a golden age. Everything is fine, America isn't on the verge of squandering it's capacity to tell it's own stories.

Watching patriots squirm at the prospect of newfound Chinese middle class consumer spending clout is all it takes to entertain me personally, I guess I'm easy to please.
