So I thought The Creator was brilliant. I watched it in the cinema, thoroughly enjoyed it and was gobsmacked when I learned it’s budget was only $79 million. It looks better than some films I’ve seen that cost three times that.

But apparently, while it may make that back, it’s unlikely to even earn $100 million globally.

So the answer to the question of why Hollywood churns out the same shite over and over is that, currently, tragically, that is what the masses want to spend their money on.

And that makes me sad.

    I’ve seen people talk shit about modern Nintendo games as well. Some people even referred to Scarlet and Violet as a “buggy mess”. I’m probably guessing they’re playing Red and Green (the first Japanese release of the series) instead.

      Well, you can’t appeal to everybody but recent Nintendo games are great according to the average opinion. Mine included :)
