I'm not saying that anyone shouldn't go see any movie (assuming it's good that is.) I said myself that I plan on seeing it. I just wish that The Avengers wouldn't have the industrial effect that it probably will. It's not like I said I wanted it to bomb or anything (which people on this board wish for routinely without being psychoanalyzed), just disappoint the industry, none of which has any effect on whether people here will see it, or whether or not its good. I'm not against the movie, I'm against its effects. It's not like the financial success of the movie has any bearing on its quality, nor would I let it affect my enjoyment of the film.
go to a film festival, watch several engaging movies from a number of countries, then come back and tell us how Hollywood is ruining the film industry
I see contemporary movies from a wide variety of countries almost every weekend. I'm talking about American film (my favorite national cinema) which is in the worst straits its seen for a while. There have *always* been engaging movies from a number of countries. Now there's less from one of the major film producers (Hollywood.) That's going to bring down the average as a whole.
