Ever find yourself browsing through Netflix or Crave and can't "find anything good?"
To be honest I think streaming services have watered down films. People are just pumping films out now to meet the constant rotation on these services, it stands to reason Hollywood is just opening the floodgates to even mediocre writers, directors and actors. Seems like meeting quotas more than anything these days.
I'm dating myself, but I miss the days of having a big movie being hyped for theatrical release. It was an event in an of itself, and you came out of those films with genuine contemplation for the story, acting, direction, etc.
I think many of us are just desensitized to a hyper-media world we can pull from in 2 seconds at our instant convenience.
