Haha....I hear ya on that one though.

I definitely agree movies have gone down hill. Old movies were based upon plot, acting, and cinematography. Today I believe true cinematography has taken a slip in quality toward special effects. It seems like everyone blows these gigantic budgets that would fund a small country for a year just to make ridiculous special effects for a movie with no plot, poor acting, and is almost identical (minus slight differences in special effects) to about a dozen other movies made in the past 5 years.

I also don't like how movies seem to base their entire soundtrack on some ridiculous pop songs that just came out. What ever happened to having a unique musical score composed for the movie that actually jives with the scenes at hand? Or doing something like Quentin Terrantino and using good music? I just about crapped when I was watching Schreck and stupid pop music was playing, talk about ruining a good movie with a poor soundtrack (although the Sir Mixalot scene in the outtakes was pretty hilarious).

The movies I've liked the most are often ones that are liked the least by the GP.
