Then, we wouldn't all be so spoon-fed by Hollywood (ideas are scarce in films today, and non-pay tv too) and American culture/true masculinity on such a downswing in emulating the boyish hero movies so popular overseas today, and saturating our own film markets.<br /><br />I think the artists of your generation have failed us, althouse.<br />It's like -- you all sold out, or burned out.<br /><br /></i><br /><br />Oh please. We are inundated with crap art. Not just valuable overhyped crap but just normal every day crap by people with limited talent, discipline or imagination. These are found especially in the art trying too hard "to capture the American times." There is wonderful art being done but we don't need more. If anything we need better. The artists are not going to save our civilization.
