Hollywood should be banned from producing any more superhero movies.

What's a movie you'd like to see, Skep?

I'm really not terrible picky. I liked Dune. I just feel like Hollywood is completely out of ideas and is just making remakes or rehashing the same tired superhero movies. Most of the remakes are trash that just insult the original work; Dune was one of the few that I liked. I think a lot of it is due to people letting ideology bleed into creative works in a really hamfisted way.

I think a good example of a new series that was fun and creative was the whole Pirates of the Caribbean thing. They milked it to death and ruined it by the end of the series, but it was a fresh idea. Other than that, so many of the big hits have been book adaptions, remakes, comic book adaptations, or (absolutely dreadful) anime adaptions. It doesn't help that streaming services are eating up more market share, and they seem to exclusively hire hacks to direct their adaptations.

I think they should do a whole bunch of Lovecraft, but yeah it's hard to think of new ideas. I just really am sick of superhero movies. 

I think I just like darker stuff generally too. Maybe Squid Game and Hellbound gives us a bump that way coming out Korea recently. Tokyo Ghoul might be fucken awesome in CGI too.
