Is hollywood out of good ideas? Why are movies so mediocre now? Think about the ground laid before the current movie industry. They have the Harry Potter, Star Wars, Star Trek, Finding Nemo, Back to the Future, Marvel, ect worlds to build on. Not to mention new ideas. There is enough money rolling around hollywood to tempt the best writers, producers, actors, ect. Why is hollywood failing to produce more than a handful major motion pictures per year?
