There’s been Bruce Willis rumors/speculation for a while but it’s still sad to hear it confirmed. He’s not that old.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

possible reasons I don't watch nearly as much as I used to:

- more formulaic trash

- more content in general/more easily accessible, reducing the importance of movies, no novelty

- more important things to do in real life

- vidya games

- politics

- I'm too old

- i enjoy watching shitty old B-movies

- not enough boobs

I dunno.

it’s hard to imagine the ratio of goods to formulaic trash is any different now than at any point in film history

No it's no that either. I've been reading a lot for work but a few months ago my decompressing time at the end of the day would be spent with a movie. We've been watching more TV. Just kinda feels like a phase, I guess.
