- that feels like quite a stretch to me. -- nm - Reagen Sep 1, 21:40 2
  - Yeah - by the third act, you've already paid for your ticket. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 1, 21:43 1
    - You joke but it leads to horrible reviews and negative first day comments on social media, which creates the negative spin cycle. -- nm - David Sep 2, 03:40
I can get behind it. It's basically "if movies are designed to appeal to the widest possible audience, they appeal to no-one" -- nm - Roger More Sep 1, 21:17 9
- appealing to the widest possible audience is Hollywood's business. - Reagen Sep 1, 21:36 6
  - But the widest possible audience has expanded a lot recently. Before, it was domestic demand which drove Hollywood decisions about what movies to make - Roger More Sep 1, 21:50 5
    - Thinking about it a little further, Apatow's speaking as a comedy director. - Roger More Sep 1, 22:12 4
      - Eh. 3 of last year's biggest hits were Apatow-style comedies. - Reagen Sep 1, 22:14 3
        
        Sure, but those were big hits domestically, not internationally. - Roger More Sep 1, 22:25 1
        
        And they're being made, is my point. - Reagen Sep 1, 22:30
        
        (I'm actually working on a larger project looking into just these kinds of shifts over the years, FWIW) -- nm - Reagen Sep 1, 22:18
- Though I also think Pixar's decision to push back its summer 2014 release to next year and Paul Walker's death cost the domestic box office $500M this - Roger More Sep 1, 21:33 1
  - Which is certainly another thing to consider. a lot of conclusions can be drawn from circumstance - Reagen Sep 1, 21:39
