> they don't make films for grown-ups anymore. This right here is the truth, and it's been known for a while: > " Adults were treated as adults rather than as overgrown children hell-bent on enshrining their own arrested development." > "That leaves one quadrant—men under 25—at whom the majority of studio movies are aimed, the thinking being that they'll eat just about anything that's put in front of them as long as it's spiked with the proper set of stimulants. That's why, when you look at the genres that currently dominate Hollywood—action, raunchy comedy, game/toy/ride/comic-book adaptations, horror, and, to add an extra jolt of Red Bull to all of the preceding categories, 3-D—they're all aimed at the same ADD-addled, short-term-memory-lacking, easily excitable testosterone junkie." > "the degree to which children's genres have colonized the entire movie industry goes beyond overkill. More often than not, these collectively infantilizing movies are breeding an audience—not to mention a generation of future filmmakers and studio ecutives—who will grow up believing that movies aimed at adults should be considered a peculiar and antique art. Like books. Or plays." From http://www.gq.com/story/the-day-the-movies-died-mark-harris http://www.gq.com/story/the-day-the-movies-died-mark-harris which was written in 2011.
