Is there anything else going on with film that might be worthwhile to comment on than yet another article about comic books being turned into lowbrow fare with huge budgets?

Perhaps the reason for the declining attendance is that for lots of us, the garbage that Hollywood pushes at us....with opening nights of 4000 cinemas across North America...is nothing to write home about. Or leave home for. 

Except it would appear film critics and writers from the Globe and Mail. Who go on about the latest in  Hollywood franchise junk. 

For the benefit of Mr.Herz and others, there are tons of good films being made...many of them foreign. Or independent english language, Canadian films, and documentaries. 
What about something on the top prize winner from Cannes from the great Swedish director Rueben Osland. How about Mikeal Haneke's Happy End with Isabele Huppert. 

You are what you eat Globe and Mail. And the intellectual food you are feeding us on cinema is junkfood.
