Even if you know what to look for, you can miss the crazy amount of artwork that goes into the DI process.
Oh Brother where Art Thou, is one of those movies I can watch over and over, yet never get tired of it..

As to the topic of this thread..

Hollywood is a business and making movies is a very big risk. The movie business has almost become too big for it's own good. The amount of money it costs to make a blockbuster is staggering and it could go to waste with a flop.

This is why movie studios stick to the givens.. Super heroes, remakes and part 2, 3 and 4s of successful movies. Just like any other business they want as little risk as possible with as much profit as they can get.

Look to independent films if you want some decent non Hollywood crap.
