There's a lot wrong with the film industry, if you couldn't tell. I mean, look at the movies they release. They're either reboots, sequels, or just awful. There isn't an in-between.
It's especially bad in music. Temp music has always been a thing, but now directors have this weird hip way of ordering composers around where they're forced to imitate the temp music and make it so you don't even notice it's playing. In other words, you're composing music that someone else made in a way that's not meant to be heard. Y'know, the whole point of music? It results in some of the blandest, most repetitious stuff you've ever heard. Sing a piece from the Marvel cinematic universe. You can't. Not off the top of your head.
I mean, look at this stuff:

ALL of the MCU movies are scored like this. It's because the director is usually a dipstuff when it comes to music and so he'll upload his personal favorite music in as temp and listen to it 1,000 times and get so invested in it that he can't be talked out of it. It's an incestuous relationship, pretty much. The Shining's soundtrack is better than everything I linked, and that's barely even classifiable as "music".
It's all homogeny, no risk. You'll see one or two films that come out every once in a while that are actually pretty loving decent because everyone looked like they knew what they were doing (Kingsmen) and it knocks everyone's socks off, but then it turns out they were anti-Hollywood and so it gets panned. Don't believe me? Look at the reviews for "The Golden Circle":
[Matthew] Vaughn hasn't only run out of things to say but people to hate, and without that underlying aggression, the movie feels like it's just going through the motions. Better luck next time, bruv.
Save us from male artists who think they are dangerously, uniquely innovative. This stew of toxic masculinity and CGI-cartoon violence is nothing but tediously mundane.
My advice to Vaughn: stop now. While there's still time.
50% on Rotten Tomatoes from the critics. That makes it rotten in the eyes of the site. Meanwhile, 70% of people enjoyed it.
That leads me to my next point; there's an establishment in Hollywood. It throws everyone else out, even though most of the time, the outsiders are better. This can apply to politics as much as it can anything. Disney has a habit of controlling the animated film industry, alongside the Shrek people who are only occasionally good and the Minions people who never even try. Outside of those three studios, you'll hear about other animations at say, the Oscars, but you'll never see them, and they'll get artificially eclipsed by Disney anyway. That's what happened with Kubo and the Two Strings. Zootopia is an average movie that won over Kubo, an outstanding movie, by being owned by Disney and for being overtly political. In 2015, Big Hero 6, a bland, boring movie about people you forgot pretty much immediately after leaving the theater,
buried one of the most beautiful animations I've ever seen,
Song of the Sea. I've maintained that Disney needs an anti-trust suit filed against them considering they have control over pretty much half of the entertainment industry. At least they aren't doing what they did in the past, and re-releasing their old films in theaters to smother out other animated films on their opening weeks.
But yeah. Did you know that there's an underground club for conservatives in Hollywood? That's because of that establishment I mentioned earlier; they're as leftist as it gets. Successful shows get canned because the protagonist is conservative. Look at Last Man Standing with Tim Allen.
Well, at least they're failing. Good. Time for change.
(jeez it's late at night I think I'll look at this again in the morning and see how cringy it is)
