With the current furore going on concerning the state of
Hollywood and the products it’s creating, I figure I’d turn this into a little
experiment. The Emoji Movie et al. is getting people to realize just how cynical
the system can get, the general reactions to Mother show that even filmmakers
willing to make the effort aren’t getting respected, and the recent unearthing
of the heinous behaviour of Harvey Weinstein, one of the most prolific
producers in the business, is bringing the questioning to a moral level; we’re
in a weird and possibly disastrous spot right now.
