More is even less...

It boggles the mind to think that today's Military Entertainment Complex has but ONE approach- the militarization of movies, with cheesy cgi thrown in for "good measure." Today's movies have come to resemble little more than the video games that preceded them; that movies like AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON are based on COMIC BOOKS boggles the mind: with characters long established and story lines quite literally laid out in easy-to-follow "storyboards," the apparent inability of Hollywood's "brightest" to cobble together anything of movie-going value is puzzling, indeed. What more do they need...? (A lifelong love of Storytelling wouldn't hurt, nor would an affinity for the Comics upon which these Big Budget Bombs are based, but the Hollywood "elite" seem uninterested in what has come before and clichés are heaped on clichés with all the finesse and depth of a television commercial...) A big budget doesn't necessarily denote quality.
