Hey, Hollywood, I'll make a deal with you. You like deals, right? Okay, so I'll start going to see movies in theaters and buying DVDs again if you start making original movies again. That sounds reasonable, doesn't it? You can stop spending a hundred million per picture on blockbusters that have half a chance of failing because original movies don't cost nearly as much. Plus, stars LOVE to do indie. It makes them feel like they haven't forgotten their roots.
A good litmus test: If I go to look it up on IMDB and have to choose a year after the title, and the descriptions aren't a help or, even worse, contain the words remake or reboot, it's not an original movie. Does that help?
I feel like we need to compromise here and, this way, everyone wins.
