Get your shit together, Hollywood

Hollywood either has zero capacity for creativity, or zero tolerance for the risk associated with producing something new and creative. I’m guessing it’s the latter, and it’s been going on for so long that any creative talent has long fled, and now even if they HAD the risk tolerance they’d be unable to tap the talent to do anything new.
Shareholders want an ever-increasing return. Officers of a publicly traded company have legal responsibility to the shareholders, not “customers” or the public – so the publicly traded studios have to make little line continually go up. Even making the same profit as last year is deemed a failure (or cause for bailout or purchase). So yeah, the people making decisions have zero tolerance for risk. =]
