I've had a few posts lately about how the international (especially Chinese) market is affecting Hollywood.
I'm surprised to read this morning that, within America itself, which is having a rather glum summer season in box office terms, the Hispanic market is really strong for cinema attendance.
You'd never know it from their presence in films, would you?
For what it's worth, I'll repeat my criticisms of where the movie industry is at the moment:
* Way too many comic derived superhero films. Far, far too many.
* A lack of particularly appealing young actors with clear star quality.
* Comedy which has become too crude, made by men in permanent adolescent mode.
* Too many sequels for films which barely deserve it. More originality, please.
