Why Have Movies Been So Bad Lately?

mikesd81 asks: "Why have movies and shows been so bad lately? I find myself looking on my Video on Demand service from my cable company or flipping channels and just nothing seems to have any depth any more. But on the other hand, I happened to watch Stargate Atlantis and there was an incredible scene that just caught the emotion and emergency. So is it the directing? The writing? The acting? It seems more and more movies just aren't worth anything. Let alone paying $20 to go to a movie." Let's not forget the recent number of Hollywood remakes and the amount of "reality TV" being pumped out by the networks.

She didn't kill irony. Infact, she personified it by not mentioning a single ironic thing in her entire song yet entitled the song "Ironic".

At best some lines indicated what some my call cosmic irony, yet most would claim these situations are merely unfortunate, as were the remaing situations, thus perhaps leaning towards "Unfortunate" as a prefered title.

That explains why movies have been so bad - the Writer's strike that started in 1988 hasn't ended yet.
