why are so many movies not great

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Kokubunji, 2023.10.13

I watch a fair number of movies, and I have definitely noticed a long degradation in quality and some really mystifying incidents where the CGI was clearly worse than it was twenty years ago. At the same time, I was aware of the strike in Hollywood but didn't know its causes. Then I happened on this video on Youtube. And now I know why these two things are happening and how they are related.

Damn that late-stage capitalism.

If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people together to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.
