I think that at some point in the last 20 years Hollywood stopped caring about what it was doing. Maybe because some people got tired of seeing people get over with a huge blockbuster with no effort, but a movie with a lot of work, writing and research gets overlooked. I also think that the nature of broadcast tv has something to do with it as well. Too many channels take away ratings money from channels.
Last night I read a short article in DV (Digital Video August 2009) magazine from Fred Olen Ray. He was the producer and director of many of the Syfy channel movies such as Megaconda, Reptitarus. Basically all of the bad films. His whole focus is on producing movies for the straight to video and tv market, so he has been intentionally trying to get the lowest cost camera setup and production costs as he can and still make it "look" like a movie. Appalling but I think I understand.
