I agree with you, SKOOFx. I try to give every movie a fair shake, and not prejudge, but sometimes it's hard to do so. See my comments on the rumored AvP2 for proof. As for the topic on hand, it's true that there was just as much crap back then, but it's different these days. The difference being that in the old days, the crap was pumped out by people like Ed Wood and Bert I. Gordon, and they actually believed in what they did, as delusional as that may seem. Today, "filmmakers" like Bruckheimer and Bay churn out awful garbage with the support of the studios. They are under no illusions that what they do is art, they just want to make a quick buck off the mindlessness of the herd. It's much easier to mock soulless stupidity, like Armageddon, for instance, than it is something like Plan 9.
