I never thought I would see the day that TV shows were better written then movies. I watch Dexter, Glee, and even Gossip Girl, and I realize that the unthinkable has happened. TV is more watchable then movies. I used to just assume Victor from Young and the Restless would be the best actor that I would be seeing. Watching some of the new movies that are being released makes me feel queasy. I blame us for all of it though. We seem to not want to think when watching a movie anymore. We want to see things blow up, cars flip over, easy dialogue, and easily watchable stars. Movies don't really require thought anymore and are generally forgettable as soon as it ends. Most people can't remember any given scene of a Transformers movie or a Fast and the Furious movie. They can usually tell me that Megan Fox looked hot though.

I understand that there is a place for these movies, and a little eye candy is never a bad thing, but when these are the only movies that make any money we really have to think about what we are supporting. Check out "The Usual Suspects" or "Little Miss Sunshine" and put some money down to see something that maybe will cause your brain to have to exercise. If you want a glimpse into the future rent the movie "Idiocracy" and you can have a look into our world's future.
