Like most of the entertainment industry (music, TV, etc.), movies are getting "dumbed down" to the lowest common denominator.

Today's average "couch potato" or "$7 bucket 'o popcorn muncher" doesn't appreciate, or have the attention span, for the subtleties of an actor/actress with actual SKILL....they want to see computer-enhanced fight scenes, $h!t blowing up, and of course boobs....so that's what the producers of popular entertainment give them.

Casablanca or Gone With the Wind or other such ACTING-oriented classic films would most likely NOT have been successful if released in the present-day.
