   In Hollywood nothing works anymore. Meaning there used to be a formula to assure movies would not lose money, a combo of casting, promotion and genre that on average works. That's done. There are no stars who can open a movie big.

     The last time it seemed like people were genuinely hyped for movies was the early 2000s. I'm sure some of that is maturity goggles on my part but I think that's probably about right. Couldn't pinpoint a year.

     You had The Two Towers, a Harry Potter, Spider-Man and Attack of the Clones. The last White era.
