Hollywood today is nothing like the Hollywood we've come to know. It has been taking a beating from all sides. Some fault is on the ratings, critics, piracy, and just lack of originality. There are amazing actors and intriguing directors however due to targeting wide demographics and expecting huge payouts at the box office the great actors and directors are forced to follow proper " hollywood" protocol in turn running away great actors and dishing out bull crap just to break even. ( of course even to them is hundreds of millions hahahha) Due to these ramifications the indie film industry has picked up speed and in my humble opinion wields a finer product but more difficult to obtain so fans must turn to a torrent site. I'm not trying to argue, I feel it should be taken into perspective that Hollywood is running on fumes... Needs another John Wayne.
