A diatribe about how atrocious cinema has been for the duration of 2008, and an unfavorable comparison with 1999 and 2000, both extremely strong years from an artistic point of view. This deterioration is shown to be directly as a result of a lack of originality in the Hollywood system.

Screenwriter strikes are bringing the American film and television industry to its knees.

Well, the nominations have been announced and it's no surprise to see that "No Country For Old Men" and "There Will Be Blood" Lead the nominations with eight nominations apiece.

It's simple really. When movie producers insist on following this imaginary "formula" for making a good movie.
