So there seems to be a lot of terrible movies releasing lately/the last few years that are complete trash but have huge names attached.

I was wondering if actors see the potential for a good movie in the script or if they just don't give a shit anymore as long as they get paid. Obviously none of us really know but I was wondering if anyone had an opinion on the subject.

I mean a great topical example is the new mummy movie. Tom Cruise is pretty fucking good at only picking up projects that make him look good but that movie was a fucking disaster.

Could it be studio fuckery/director apathy that turn good scripts bad? Or have basically all Hollywood actors lost all sense of pride. I don't know. I would like to think that there are still people who care about the art on the production side...

I'm leaning heavily to that side.

But also, as a collective audience, our standards have dropped significantly. Or at least, so it seems.



Edit: anyway, stuff like Heat or The Usual Suspects seems like such a long time ago

Movie 43

The mummy was pretty good entertainment. I agree tho Tom cruise is GG, one of the best.

i think so. Directors etc. all gave up imo.
Why would they even try to make originals anymore like in the past?
Especially when they make more $$$$$ by remaking classics, or making prequel or making more sequels with much less effort.

The counselor

I go to the theater pretty much every week and that movie was the only one i've seen people walking out cause it was so bad. And I was about to do the same.

Oh God, that movie was fucking trash. I don't know what I expected, but I expected something at least watchable. Everything about that movie was just awful.

Sometimes I think it's money grab. Other times I think it's just poor execution when the movie is made.

Wtf why have I never even heard of this??the actors in this movie are amazing

Ridley Scott.... so make sense it was bad, Scott is either hit or REALLY REALLY MISS
