hey, you're the one that summed up the "strikingly obvious" ways in which many popular movies suck, not me.

but it's also not fair to lump "the last 20 years of mainstream film" into that category, because as we'd all agree, some truly great movies have come out of mainstream film in the last 20 years.
yeah, yeah, it's called hyperbole, big whoop, wanna fightaboutit?

i would add that the best films are often less popular among audiences, but of course that would be "strikingly obvious."
