Overblown untalented "stars" (Tom Cruise, Russel Crowe) feed the world's overzealous celebrity worship and transmit values of greed while getting away with murder. Hollywood is a fine example of everything that art shouldn't be.....
Every now and then a Hollywood film does come out to rock the boat and shake things up a bit but those ideas end up reassimilated into the mainstream, dumbed down and cloned endlessly with the sole purpose of making money not art.

The star/celebrity worship isn't really a Hollywood thing, more of an overal media thing. The type of shit that they put on the E! Network.
And as for "rocking the boat and shaking things up" why is that the exception for all the "same old shit" category? A movie doesn't have to be Pulp Fiction to be a really good movie. To use a previously mentioned example, The Ice Harvest is a very good movie, but isn't some innovative masterpiece.
