Maybe the thoughts they are trying to provoke these days don't interest you? I did used to watch more movies, but I think the reason I don't now isn't the quality of the movie, but just me aging in a world where I'd rather take a nap.How come the Academy Awards seem to dislike the Science Fiction and Supernatural/Horror genre of movies? They never seem to get a look in. Also, and I think I'm being objective, not seeing it through rose-colored glasses, but I think the standard of movies has gone down. I think they made more thought provoking and better movies back until maybe the mid-1990's, and I think I've seen a slow decline in the standard. I don't know, maybe it's me.
I haven't seen any of the movies, so can't comment on any of them.
