Yeh the mass market thing really does spoil a lot. I have noticed an uptick of movies lately that are and should be serious, however they seem to squeeze in silly jokes and or goofy music. Why? i am assuming to hit an extra market but it just ruins credibility in my eyes and the movie ends up with an identity problem.

    Conversely there is no more stupid, fun comedy movies coming out anymore. Think Will Ferrell or Adam Sandler movies, that kind of thing. The 90s / early 2000s was the golden age of dumb comedies, and now it seems that those sorts of movies are rarely ever produced anymore

    R rated comedy doesn't make any money, that's why.

    the main audience that goes to movies is kids and families.

    I understand the reasoning behind it but its still a loss for popular culture, imo

    eh, i have shown those move to my nephews, they think they are stupid and gross. they don't laugh, they just make cringe faces and ask me why anyone would like this awful movie.

    that kind of humor is not popular anymore and they couldn't be made today because they are so racist, sexist, and depend so much on making fun of being gay.
