I don't hate hollywood completely. I just hate the majority of the crap it churns out. It seems most of the films are made to generate profit from it's merchandise rather than the content by over-hyping everything before it's even released. Especially when producing films of already popular stuff (X-men etc). They stick to the same formulas over and over and rarely come up with anything original. As soon as one type of film comes out (i.e. the Matrix) and does well they milk the formula for all it's worth, producing dozens of variations on the same theme/style. I'm so fed up of seeing bullet time in films. They do it with dialogue as well. I can't remeber how many times I've heard the phrase "the clock is ticking" since Harvey Keitel said it in pulp fiction. Why do all the good guy characters these days have to be wise cracking badasses?
At least when a quality film comes out you really apreciate it, as these days, it's an exception.
But you get to rip the really bad films apart afterwards!!! That's almost as good as seeing a good film.
