i'd have to disagree with all genres being dead ... there have been some pretty amusing comedies lately .. there are a talented bunch of funny people getting regular work ..
there hasnt been much in the way of sci-fi which is a shame .. but there never was much pure sci-fi .. it was always action or horror related.
in the recent past you'd see a big sci-fi movie come out and it would be followed buy a slew of others hoping to cash in on the momentum of the 1st .. but even thats not happening now.
i think they are probably the most expensive movies to make, with the smallest audience (most women HATE sci-fi)
Horror will always have a bigger audience than sci-fi ... but i still say that home video (which took the focus off quality filmmaking) did more to harm that genre than any of the others.
