I wouldn't be quite so despondent.

i'm not despondent, i'm glad they make crappy movies. it keeps the mouthbreathers busy and out of the decent cinemas that don't show garbage.

Blockbuster does not necessarily mean crap.

i can go along with smart pop-culture, at times, but even a lot of that gets watered down so that more people will buy into it.
i can't recall many blockbusters (a term that we might define differently) from the past twenty years that weren't crap.

I don't care whether its a multi-million dollar extravaganza or something low budget and arthouse, if its entertaining it's entertaining. Its also nice sometimes to be able to switch off the brain and enjoy a certain kind of film simply for enjoyments sake.

i don't mind switching my brain partly off, but i can't do it completely (or 90% off), and that's what so many films seem to require.
i guess it would be easier if most off the brain-off films weren't also hopelessly jingoistic, patronising and bigoted or clueless about other cultures.
i am expecting too much of them, i know. but, crap can be good! it doesn't have to be bad on top of being crap.
