Anyway, yes, shit’s silly but so is Star Wars. So is fantasy. So is horror. It can all be done well is what I’m getting at. Meh

star wars sucks (yes i said it) and van damme is for lols.

none of those are adult movies. i fucking miss adult movies. and i don’t mean porno (the new meaning of “adult”).

when i grew up my parents went to see a megamillion films that children weren’t allowed in and made, you know, art history.

now, i put on a hal hartley dvd last night (had to stop, could not watch, was busy) but the first thing that popped into my mind was—where the fuck did hal hartley go?

i haven’t looked him up but last i saw his name he was directing an episode of red oaks.

oh, yes!—adult movies went to tv

so there are no more adult movies (ok, there are, just very few) outside of documentaries

and movies now are mostly either shit hallmark movies with inspirational messages, or mega-budget blockbusters with family appeal

i want more adult movies that won’t become theme parks. i like the thighs of gal gadot as much as anybody but cmon. enuff.

where is the who’s afraid of virginia woolf in 2019? where is the godfather? where is sex lies and videotape, even? oh, soderbergh also doing tv now.

ps- watch the documentary “seduced and abandoned” for a first-hand look at the current economics of the business. this shit isn’t something i made up to torment you. it’s just the way hollywood has evolved.

pps- i just found out about soderbergh’s “logan lucky” which he made without any studio interference. good for him. but **first time i hear about it**.
