Thanks, that's what I was circling around to
"Wrath of Kahn" worked so well because you had good actors (I didn't say great, but they did the job) portraying the eternal father-son conflict
The special effects were just side dishes, not the main course
The remakes and superhero action movies with the same simple, basic plotline
It's all been done to death.
TV is the same way– one tightly crafted formulaic template, constantly
HGTV, Hallmark movies, History Channel programming, sitcoms, it's all the same
Those dogs find one bone and never chew on anything else
Apparently nobody writes a good STORY anymore, with classic conflicts, moving relationships between people, anymore.
Hollywood started cranking out actual propaganda during WWII
Got into bed with the gubmint, and got used to the payola
It just never ended, as we've learned.
