Does anyone else feels like creativity and originality is dying in the movie industry? I'm getting tired of all of the superhero movies and remakes.

Yes. I really can't think of the last time I saw a movie I thought was truly great.

Which one you watching? I stopped watching Hollywood movies few months ago. I was hooked with Asian movies, series and dramas. Storyline and actors are so dang good. Our industry should step up their game.

Same thoughts. I have been scrolling through netflix for 30 mins and I still couldn't find a good movie to watch. It feels way to redundant at this point.

I don't feel that way. I think it is to some extend but not completely. THere are still some brilliant filmmakers out there.

I thought I was the only one. I have had it with the remakes, and don't get me started on making live-action movies out of perfectly good animation movies. I'm good with making movies out of books but I just can't get behind remaking animated movies.

I feel the same way. I feel like we consume the same type of media nowadays. I hope next year is gonna be different with the film industry.

Somehow, yes. If we're talking about all the Cinderella remakes, then my answer would be a big yes. Lol. But there are few film makers who still got it.

Yes! I feel like they are just reusing ideas over and over. You are right about the remakes as well.

I seriously feel this way about movies now. There are only a handful of movies and shows really worth your time. Money matters exponentially!

I also hate that shows usually compress everything in just 8 episodes these days. I miss the 20 episode run of season 1 from shows in the 2000s.

What companies should I be applying to? I’d consider an MBA or masters if I could guarantee an ROI in earning potential.

I once asked a colleague at a radio company how much he's paid monthly, and he outright refused to tell me. In fact, he found it very odd that I asked.

I know it's not an employee's job to fix pay inequity by sharing their salary figures, but I'm still of the opinion that it helps uncover pay gaps. But do you think it's wise to do so at the risk of damaging your work environment or the whole thing backfiring on you? Thoughts are welcome.
