“It’s so hard to get movies made, and in these big movies that get made — and it’s even starting to happen with the little ones, which is what’s really freaking me out — decisions are being made by committees, and art does not do well when it’s made by committee,” she added. “Films are made by a filmmaker and a team of artists around them. You cannot make art based on numbers and algorithms. My feeling has been for a long time that audiences are extremely smart, and executives have started to believe that they’re not. Audiences will always be able to sniff out bullshit. Even if films start to be made with AI, humans aren’t going to fucking want to see those.”

Wow that’s funny because my feeling has always been exactly the opposite. It’s why quippy, vapid bullshit like the Avengers and star wars is so popular.
I love art but sometimes art is bullshit I can watch once and that’s ok. Other times art is shit like avatar that I’ll watch over and over as comfort tv for life because it’s good enough to be worth it. And then other times I’ll gladly spend 4 hours watching the first 2 hours of a 3 hour video on twilight because it’s very artistically dense and my wife and I need to keep discussing the bits of it. Not everything I watch can be the latter, some of the stuff will need to be the former.
Wait a sec. Obviously you’re not talking about Avatar… but are you talking about Avatar, Avatar, or Avatar?
I think there’s different audiences. You’re referring to a general, mainstream audience, while I think she’s referring to an audience that would be interested in an artsy film going into it.
I don’t think anyone believes Madame Web was supposed to be an artsy film.
“Do you post as ‘Magnolia_Fan’ on MoviePoopShoot.com?”
Gonna have to agree here, how else could a movie like Beverly Hills Chihuahua get made and also have two sequels.
