“Capitalism breeds innovation” =/= “Capitalism eliminates copying”

If capitalism didn’t eliminate copying, then my movie downloading experience would be much easier.

It’s gonna try all the things, innovative and schlock included.

These movies are not bad. I quite enjoy them. Sometimes I skip the predictable endings.

What about the predictable beginning and the predictable middle part, between the beginning and the end? I usually just skip those too.

Those who love this kitschy schlock think it’s innovative.

Pop and stadium country are no different.

I’ve never heard someone say they wanted to listen to pop or stadium country music because it’s innovative. In fact, a hasty and anecdotal surveying of friends and neighbors says that they listen to the music because it’s easy to listen to (ie unchallenging).

Yeah they want a familiar sound they are accustomed to. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Sometimes I’ll go to a fast food chain because I know exactly what to expect and I don’t have to think about it too much.

Nono not like that. They were talking about smartphones and flatscreen TVs.

It’s usually used to describe movies like Ghost Rider, Tremors, Con Air

Tremors isn’t schlock. Some of the sequels, maybe, but Tremors is a classic.

My husband absolutely adored these because they were wholesome with no gratuitous sex or violence. He was a conservative Christian and these were some of the few shows he could really enjoy unreservedly. (I doubt he would have been pleased to see a gay story, though. He’s not around to ask, unfortunately.)

I find them predictable and banal. But to each his own. He would watch a Hallmark movie in one room and I’d be in the other room watching Criminal Minds or something LOL
