It's fascinating to contrast this to the myriad of essays about the dead of cinema. This examples fit to tee to the template of reasons to not go to the movies anymore. The model ran out, stars don't matter anymore, streaming is king, scripts are stale, IPs are no longer guarantees, the silver screen is disconnected from the imagination of audiences, but still trying to funnel their wallets with outrageous overpriced projects.
This is adapted from videogame journalism but it fits cinema as well. I want less films, with smaller budgets, that are shorter, that pay their writers, actors and crews better, while telling more creative and original stories, and I'm not joking.
Gladiator 2 will surely turn things around.
