I feel as though we're entering a period of low-budget indie movies that rock (your random assortment of A24s, really indie stuff like The People's Joker, Hundreds of Beavers, etc).
And then we've got the AAA shit that is all style, no substance. AI means even the style is rubbing away.
I don't think we'll ever run out of "good cinema". We've been making movies since the 1930s that have been incredible, and producing the back-catalog of Movie Mindset (anything before the 1980s, really) has become easier than ever. But I can see a point on the horizon where I'd never want to go into a theater again.
Yep, I have done nothing but play indie games for the longest time or retro games for this very reason.
Probably the biggest studio I still use to play is Jagex with RuneScape, but even then they have conceived of the idea of a “living game” and actually embrace being bullied by its own community.
There's YouTube tier content being cranked out by one or two insane people who really just want to make movies that can be good.
They tend to be short and punchy, rather than long form and complex. But the desire to make good art is too strong for people to simply ignore. They're going to make it and they're going to want people to see it and (if its good) its going to get spread around whether Disney wants to compete with it or not.
The real question is whether we'll be able to get it quickly and easily, or whether its going to end up as the kind of media that you can only find if you know someone or have an invite to the right forum.
Hold on, is this why porky ever started having mercy on minority groups? Some Pavlovian training to get the masses to associate worsening material conditions with no longer having the government sanction hunting minorities for sport?

The last game I remember enjoying that was AAA was Super Mario Odyssey.
I have not purchased another AAA game since. I prefer to give my money to indie devs.
