The issue is making money. There are lots of low budget movies with good plots that don’t make money (or not a lot of it). While at the same time, they can make the 5th sequel to some shitty comic book video and almost guarantee a few hundred million in profits. Of course movies can tank, but generally they are not stupid and the accounts have it figured out.
- WalterBright 4y agoIf you're going to spent $100 million on a movie, why settle for a boring plot and pedestrian dialog? I watched the La Brea show for a while. Lots of expensive special effects. But the dialog was just pablum. The characters each talked like they were the same person - using the same words and phrases. They behaved the same, too.
- dbfx 4y agoBecause it makes money anyway and getting actually good people would cost more nd take longer.
- WalterBright 4y agoI quit watching it, mainly because of the execrable dialog. When you want all the main characters to be eaten by a gru, something is wrong with the writing. I expect the cost of a good writer is a pittance compared with the cost of the production.
- TylerE 4y agoBecause bad/simple dialog is way easier for the over 50% of the modern box office that isn’t the US. CGI explosions don’t need to be dubbed/subtitles in 20 or 30 different languages
