The Hollywood system is corporate slop and many of the writers who work in it are probably motivated more by career than any creative impulse. It’s come around full circle to the exact same thing that the auteur filmmakers of the 70’s were rebelling against. The thing is, those auteur filmmakers weren’t just criticizing the shit that Hollywood was producing; they actually put in the work and made better films. That’s what it takes. Criticism is cheap; doing a better job is what makes a difference.
